Hey Swift. Some people in Bulgaria know you as 3wD.Cecka which means you are an old school player, but in your career from 3wD to srs, what are the things you regret? And who do you still have in mind as a good teammate?

The things I regret hmm.. In fact I never do things which I regret
afterwards. And about the teammates - the guys I`ve rememberd most of
all are those from ex-redcode (Sein, Bringer, Kpect, Frizzer, Blade, Gold)

If one looks at your former achievements, it is not too much yet, but u
were one of the promissing players in Bulgaria. Now you are staying in
Russia. What are your goals there? Are you aiming for the national team?
My goals wherever I go and whatever I do are to be #1. So I will do
my best to get on top at every Russian lan, and I know I can. And about
the national team I can't say anything, its not my goal for now.

Recently you've won Russia WCG Qualification. How did you feel?

Well of course I felt happy. It was my first Russian lan so it's a really good beginning.

How did you prepare for this qualification? Did you expect to qualify to WCG Seattle or were you surprised by your success?

It can sound funny but I was inactive 3-4 months and when I heard that WCG qualies were coming in 1 week I started playing.

I didn't train any specific match ups or maps, just played some ladder. It was so unexpected for me that after the 3rd game in semifinal vs fntcRob I could hardly believe that i won a ticket to Seattle.

Your playoff games were against the orcs, more specifically against Inter and Rob, and you ended up winning both 2:1. What were these games like? It's commonly known that orcs have an advantage playing undead but you did pretty well. Did you think that after these games you would be able to defeat Xyligan in the finals? When there was nothing to lose and the air ticket to Seattle was certain....

Hmm, the fact that match up of Orc vs Undead is pretty imbalanced is true, and for me personally it was the hardest one by that time. Games versus these 2 orcs were easier than I expected. After winning Rob I couldn't concentrate on my games vs Xyligan at all and as a result played really bad, far below my abilities.

With srs, you are now in the NGL ONE, thus most certainly you
practise alot nowadays, with who are you practising to reach a higher
level?
I practice with different players, all of them are really good and
big thanks to them for helping me when I'm in need to train some specific
match up.

With your teammates you have a lot of good and talented guys there,
who did you ever meet at an offline event? and if yes, what are your
experiences? Same counts for the Russian players, what did you do when you met them?
I met Dollar, Bro, Tama and Neytpoh. They are all cool guys and we
always have a great time when we meet. Our team is like a big lovely family.

Nowadays StarCraft II is the biggest expectation of the gaming world. Do you think it will become the most played online game? Or do you think it won't have such an impact?

Pretty sure that SC II will become the most played online game as soon as it is released, but I personally don't like the StarCraft series.

Do you see your future professional career in StarCraft II? Or will you rather stay in Warcraft and try becoming one of the most famous players in the world? Because it's being said that most of the world's W3 elite will switch to SC2...

I won't switch to SC II, thats sure, I will stay in WC3.

Since u moved to Russia, what did change in your life? Was it hard to
say goodbye to your friends in Bulgaria?

Ye it was pretty sad to leave my friends, but I have even more in
Russia and besides I'll visit Bulgaria at least once a year so I will
keep in touch with my old schoolmates and friends.

What do your family and friends think about your gaming? Do they support you?

My parents changed their look on my gaming career after I had a successful run in WCG RP. Some months ago they thought it was just a hobby which took too much time and nerves, but now it's really different and as for my friends - they always support me, whatever I do :D

Did you imagine when you first started gaming that you would become such a successful player? Did you have to sacrifice something for the game?

Well, when I started playing WC3 as a hobby I had no plans at all, just played it for pleasure. Sometimes I had to choose between going out with my friends and training... Also when I just started playing seriously WC3 I spent really much time on it, played every day around 6-7 hours during 5-6 months :P now even after becoming pretty famous i can't imagine playing that much.

Any shoutouts? What you want to say to the community? Here is your chance!
Wanna say thx to srs for being a nice new home for me, to sponsors
who support us, greetings to old teammates and thx to everybody who
support me.

Thanks for the interview and good luck in Seattle.
