At school, how did things go? Did everything go smoothly, or have you decided to quit studies and concentrate on other things?
School was never a real problem to me. Of course, I was not the second Einstein, but things went well, and nearly everything went the way I wanted it. I believe that quitting school is only a good step, if you feel confident enough to either start again some day, or whether you really have the financial background to take a break. Education in general is really important, even more important than doing sports. You'll keep your mind fresh, and improve. Personally, it's no secret, that playing Counter-Strike at the level we do might cause damage to your marks, but in the end it's all a question of good planning and allocation.

I do want to finish my studies, even if it might take one or two vacations more, than it would have without doing any other things. Still, you have to take the opportunities you are given, and this is exactly my way of life at the very moment.

How does your parents react on you being a professional gamer? Did they ever give you a hard time?
In the beginning it was a hard time. However, Poland does not have such a social or economic level, as the bigger western countries. When I began spending my spare time with sports and at the internet cafe, my parents – even though they probably wanted me to learn more – though it was still better than ending in the streets, which would have brought me to automatic consumption of alcohol, and drugs successively.

My parents have always been very supportive, and after I began bringing some nice prizes home, their interest started to rise. It was just logical that they followed each and every step from then onwards, and although they are no gaming insiders at all, they have recognized our potential some years ago already.

So you are now a professional full time gamer. Can you live online from esport income?
Well, a question, which can be answered in two different ways. First of all, due to education, I wouldn't necessarily consider myself as a full time professional gamer, yet. This would mean, I am not able to live from the "esport income", which is not true on the other hand. The salary wouldn't definitely be enough to make a good living, but with the prize money i have won, I could go on living without having to do anything for quite some time. I still hope to be capable of considering myself a full-time professional next year. Not that it is a must; however, it is a personal goal I would like to achieve.
