AoN.Chika:
Alright my friend introduce yourself to the world.
ESC.MaNa:
Grzegorz Komincz. I am 16 years old and I am from Poland. I live in small town Polczyn-Zdroj in the NorthWest of Poland.
AoN.Chika:
Very nice. How long have u been playing BroodWar for and what race do you play the most?
ESC.MaNa:
I've been playing BW since 2002. I started to play Starcraft in the demo version. My main race is Protoss and I love it!
AoN.Chika:
Very nice! So whats it like to be one of the youngest players in the league?
ESC.MaNa:
Nothing really special. I think it doesnt change anything cuz age =/= skill. But sometimes ppl dont take my playing seriously and they dont play for 100% vs me because of my age
AoN.Chika:
I see. But still u beat a lot of top players suck as brat.ok, Yosh, and Rondo, and reached A rank last Iccup season as well as being ranked 36th on GosuGamers. How much time do you spend on BW training to reach such a high skill level?
ESC.MaNa:
Not much. I dont really have motivation to play mass ladder right now, but I played like 5-10 games per day if I had time for it and so I do it now.
AoN.Chika:
I see. Also you recently joined ESC. which is a team notorious for currently winning over most the leagues. Whats it like playing for ESC?
ESC.MaNa:
Playing for such a good team like ESC is great. I can practice with the best players and become better and better to get more experience in BW and play in every CW for ESC .
AoN.Chika:
I also see that ESC is on top for winning The Titans League this season. What is it like knowing the team you play for is the top team at the moment?
ESC.MaNa:
I feel good.
AoN.Chika:
Seeing as the league just started who do you predict is going to be the biggest competition in the league?
ESC.MaNa:
As always, the top 3 teams , RoX , ToT and.. ESC. Everything can change in any time in this league, sometimes ESC is over RoX. ToT is sometimes RoX over ToT. ToT over ESC. etc etc.. so.. Anything can happen.
AoN.Chika:
I see. I also heard from a notable resource that your brother ALSO plays bw for iG.(thanks NrG.NeverExpo). How do you two get along?
ESC.MaNa:
Yes, iG.AerO (aka AsTeRRiX) is my brother. We both have our own computers, so we can play against each other any time, but we dont play cuz I prefer to play with players better than him and he prefers to play with better players than me.
AoN.Chika:
Who is the older sibling?
ESC.MaNa:
Of course AerO is. He's 2 years older than me.
AoN.Chika:
So what teams did u play for in the past?
ESC.MaNa:
Before i played in ESC, i played for uT) DoA. MgZ) BVG. ZZZ and yTech.
AoN.Chika:
Which one were u in for the longest?
ESC.MaNa:
I was in every of those teams about the same amount, but I think BVG and MgZ was the longest.
AoN.Chika:
Ok, so on a personal level. What other hobbies do you have?
ESC.MaNa:
I love dogs and animals. I am interesed in illusion now and I'm getting better! If I meet you in a LAN I can show you some tricks. In school I played basketball and i like that sport
AoN.Chika:
Any future plans for University or anything?
ESC.MaNa:
Not yet, I am too young to think about it. I have time..
AoN.Chika:
With the up and coming release of starcraft 2 coming, what do you feel will happen to the BroodWar scene?
ESC.MaNa:
I love starcraft 2, cant wait for it! I think BroodWar scene will die pretty fast because everybody will be playing Starcraft 2, of course there will be some real fans of BW but they wont play much cuz it wont be fun anymore.
AoN.Chika:
Which players do u look up to the most as an idol or "role model"?
ESC.MaNa:
Actually I dont have any idols in SC. Im trying to do my own style. I am not even watching vods. Only sometimes if somebody remind me about good game coming up. I dont like ppl playing like 'robots'. You know. You must do X goon at X time and go at X time to X place etc etc. If you know what I mean.
AoN.Chika:
Alright! Thanks again for letting me interview you. Hope you have a good one!
ESC.MaNa:
No problem! Your welcome. Always nice to talk with girl.
