Videointerview with Markus 'Army' Stefanko

Once upon a time, beyond all mankind's imagination, there was a little guy called Poland Army who lived in the nasty backstreets of Poland and played a unique game called Raven Shield. After he claimed all possible victories in that game he was kinda bored and needed a next goal in life. Hence he started to earn his money by creating webpages for his clienteles and soon Mr. Mercy who had just founded MeetYourMakers and was aspired to dominate the world, realised that the missing piece of his puzzle was a webpage out of the ordinary. Army listened, saw, conquered them all, became Chief Technical Officer and Partner of Regroup eSports and is known ever since as Denmark Markus Stefanko.

Hell, it was about time for an interview with that guy and none other than Poland Carmac from GGL Wire took over Markus and did a great video interview with him at the Games Convention 2007 in Leipzig last month.

We get to know a lot of stuff about the company behind MYM, all the billions in there, the salary of the MYM WarCraft 3 team and the Championship Gaming Series' influence on Counter-Strike 1.6.

You can watch both parts of the interview at GGL Wire. Enjoy it!

I especially liked the part about sponsors etc. Really opened my eyes since I never looked at that topic that way.

It's nice to know that MYM is indepent when it comes to the financing of the teams. Especially, if I were a player of MYM, I'd just feel way safer than joining any other organization and maybe that's one of the reasons that MYM is more appealing to players all over the world. It's nice to see players like Moon, Lucifer, Susiria, EVE, Storm still being in MYM. It makes me think "MYM is anything but a merc team, it is defined on great teamspirit." because back in the days people tended to easily call MYM a merc-team which obviously is not true. It is teams like MYM and 4K, which have a consistent line-up, that remind me that Warcraft 3 is also a team-game :) gg gl to all of you

when you compare the effort gamers put in improvement of their skills it seems that the payment is 2low when you compare it to any "real life" job with same pay, sure you need to put alot of effort in education so it's not that imbalanced, but still, spending up to 20hours per day or even more to prepare for a tournament sure is worth more than 3k euros the koreans carmac mentioned earn.
