eSp|sting: Hello Anton. Please tell me, how did you feel and what did you think, when you've recieved the information about the invitation to polish ESWC 2006 eliminations?

cooller: The invitation to Poland made a great smile on my face :). This was a great suprise for me, because I never thought that I will be invited to Poland, even more - not for ESWC eliminations.

You have agreed to come to Poland instantly, or you had any doubts about it? maybe you had different plans for those days?

No, there wasn't any problem with that. I just started asking more and more about the dates, hours and everything which was involved with it, I looked at the calendar and there you go - everything was ok. And from this kind of information to saying "YES", there's a very short way.

What do you think about polish players?

Poland has a lot of very good players in every game. You have people from StarCraft: Draco, Blackman.. you have your Team Pentagram from CS, and there's av3k and Scooby in Q4 aswell... oh and I have to mention Team Poland in Q3 too :)

What do you know about Poland?

I don't know much about Poland. To be honest, I never thought about this country and I don't think much, about any other country eather, before I won't know for sure, that I will go there. Now I will have a great opportunity to see Poland for the first time and add it to my collection of visited countries.

It is sure, that during the polish ESWC, you will play a show match vs. av3k. What do you think about our young player? Do you think, that he's any good?

I know av3k in some way. I never met him personally and I can't tell much about him either, and we played vs. each other only online, but that was a fun match aswell (Q3 and Q4). When we played in Q3, I've proven that I'm better than him :), as it goes about Q4 - I think, that this show match during ESWC.pl will be VERY exciting

Do you practice a lot before this match or you will just come and play 4 fun?

I will practice, because 3-4 days before my flight to Poland, there's a tournament in Russia, where I will train. This gives me confidence, that I will come to visit You in a good shape.

How long are you planning to stay in our country?

I still don't know it for sure. I'm planning to stay for about three-four days. Maybe I will stay any longer - we will see.

A lot of polish players love your style and respects You for your trophies. Some of them are your big fans too. Please tell us, what your reactions will be for the alcohol drinking invitations, or well known "please make a picture with me" sayings. Will you agree for each of them? ;)

Normally i'm friendly, so I don't see a problem in finding time for each of you :)

Are you going to take some bodyguards for this visit or you won't need them? :)

I don't need any bodyguards :) Why? I'm my own good bodyguard, hahaha. :}

And finally, what Anton thinks about this player invitation idea? Is it any good?

One of the best ideas, which I've ever seen. I think, that every country should copy Poland and do something simillar.
