he SISU Go Team clinched the titles over Tsinghua, Fudan, Renmin and other rivals at the 23rd National Ing Cup University Go Championship early this August in Haikou, Hainan Province.

The triumph came dramatically. SISU and Wuhan Sports University, the two finalist teams, broke even in the men’s team final. However, SISU eventually beat Wuhan by a narrow margin with its higher individual scores.

Li Haojie, freshman from SISU’s School of Japanese Studies, claimed the individual title in the professional round while Su Guangyue, junior from SISU’s School of Law topped the individual amateur game.

It is not the first time that SISU claimed the final glory at the Ing Cup championship. SISU has enjoyed an extraordinary athletic tradition in Go games with its Go team’s successive victories for China Ing Cup from 2009 to 2012.

Established in 1991 and sponsored by the Ing Chang-ki Foundation, the annual China Ing Cup University Go Championship is one of the most prominent and influential Go events in China and has attracted players from South Korean and Japanese universities as well.
