[img width=250 height=141]http://www.proplay.ru/images/articles/2007/10/androide(2).jpg[/img] Simply the best russian StarCraft Pro-Gamer, and one of the strongest non-korean Terran players in the word, Androide(Andrey Kukhianidze) usually appears in news during big championships, like WCG or ASUS. List of his achievements : 1st place, WCG Russia 2004 Moscow Preliminaries 4th place, WCG 2004 2nd place, Samsung European Championship 2005 2nd place, WCG 2005 1st place, WCG 2006 Russian Preliminary 3rd place, WCG 2007 Russian Preliminary TOP9-16, WCG 2007 Grandfinal 2nd place, ASUS Autumn 2004 4th place, ASUS Spring 2005 3rd place, ASUS Autumn 2006 3rd place, ASUS Summer 2007 Judging from the location of Marine in rush against SAviOr(on easy to counter map's location) you were preparing for this match very hard. But why you didn't put 2-3 SCV on the passage? If to be honest, I still haven't seen WCG replays and think about it. At first time I tried to rush him, but it didn't work. I was surprised a little, when he didn't send drones almost all game. When he did that, they killed everything. Then I saw that he went counter-attack, I counted his units. I didn't take it seriously, thinking that he will not brake my defence. Too big self-confidence played it's role... Foreigners were probably giving a looks, seeing as you play with russian flag on shoulders. How it's feeling, when you're playing 'dressed' with national flag? I don't care. If we talk about foreigners - it's another mentality with its pluses and minuses. If to be honest, I don't care at all what they thought. I'm patriot of my country, I'm ready to sing an national anthem after win or lose. Because it doesn't matter when, one day we will win! If you had a choice to play with any other korean(except sAviOr) in 1/16 WCG 07 Final, who you would choose? Stork or Hvasin? I don't like those choosings - easier or harder. You must be satisfied what you have. But, if to be honest, I'd like to play against Protoss and Terran. I didn't know the best stratedy till the end. Not much much time was spent for preparations, only 2 months, including Russia Preliminaries. I played against Zerg about 7 days, max 50-100 games. Against Terran an Protoss I trained 15-20 days, 400-500 games total. Who surprised you on this year's WCG? Pj is a guy! He was great, he proved again, that even written off from the accounts players are able to show and prove, what they can. Furthermore, he's from China, and those can make out whatever they want, very zealous and hardworking. Chinese are probably most hardworking from all Asians. Are playing actively SC:BW or it was just surge of activity before on WCG? If you play - with whom and where? Nah, only WCG. But everything can change! How can you comment situation with Draco? It's possible compare both of you in aspiration to win WCG. Draco is cool guy. We always find a common language in game and in life. I think that(situation) happened because he was not training a lot. That also partly affected me. In our business is important everything : training, motivation, potential, only then you have a chance for win. Are you playing except StarCraft anything else? If no(or even if yes), then how do you spend your free time after job/studies? Sometimes Quake 3 with bots, about one time per 2-3 months. I like very much to go to swimming pool, taking a sauna, playing ping-pong, box. I'm also spending my free time in gym, playing bouling, biliard. And, of course, spending my time with my girlfriend and friends. Big hello to them! Have you seen info about StarCraft II ? Are you planning to play it? I've heard about it. Didn't read, because have no enough time to follow everything. I will play, if I'll be lucky, otherwise training will take much time. Because it's not StarCraft-1, where I have much experience. About luck - only the best are lucky, if you want to be the best, you have to train hard. That's why the answer for this question is "rather No, than Yes".
