Well, I'm playing FIFA online since 2001. I had my first clan on FIFA 2004, a Portuguese clan, FST, and a few more. A very good FIFA was in 2005, my favourite, I was on great clans, like new age Gamers, aoc, forZe, arTeria, and at last excello. I remained on excello till FIFA 07 changing to defining-stars. And from now on I'm representing Team-Dignitas.

I think the FIFA community thinks Portugal is poor at offline events. Well, that is not my opinion. I think level here in Portugal is high, players like Beast, TiGeR and Redler are top players for me. So thes awards I got are very good and historical for Portugal, not an easy way indeed.

Well, personally I didn't like so much FIFA 07 but that is not an excuse. Beast is a top player and he was very good on that FIFA and at WCG qualifier and he deserved to win. I hate the rule of Nations teams and both players couldn't play with the same Nation. We knew it only one week before the qualifier and was no time for training. This year, on FIFA 08, I hope I can get my revenge.

Well, I trained a lot to win the qualifier and I was waiting a long time ago the opportunity to represent my country. I really thought it was my chance and I got it. One step is finished. Next step is Fifa Interactive World Cup on PS3 and then WCG 08.

Well to be honest, I didn't expect to win that qualifier because I don't have a Playstation 3 for training. I just enter the cup for fun and I was lucky, now I think I will train harder for a good result in Berlin.

Yes, my family supports me. Especially my brother, he played FIFA too, 2004 and 2005. I talk always with him about what happens in FIFA scene. My parents' support is all what I need, for example they were very nervous when I was in Hannover. They saw the game by stream live and they loved my win and it's very important for me to have their support.

I was waiting for this for a really long time. I wanted to "leave" from Portugal Scene, and this is my opportunity. I'm sad for leaving my last team-mates but they understand my decision and they know it's the best for me, of course our friendship will remain and I wish the best of luck to them. Team Dignitas, as we all know, is a big international clan with good sponsors and a very nice team. My friends TiGeR and dr_jivagos are there too, and playing with them will be very nice. I thought it was the right moment to change and my win at SEC Finals in Hannover help me with it. Our support is very good and from now on our team can beat anyone.

Thanks for taking the time to catch up with us. We wish you good luck in dignitas and for your future. Any last shoutouts?

I would like to thank Team Dignitas for bringing me this great opportunity, to all of our sponsors Intel, DELL, Creative, abit, razer, SCAN, ZyXEL and QPAD, all the people who trusted me till this moment and to MYM for interviewing me.
