SK have now composed an interview with Wiktor "TaZ" Wojtas of AGAiN about the early part of his career going through to the end of 2008.

SK: With fnatic's big results in 2006 and your top placings over the last year and a half that semi-final at ESWC was considered by some to be a case of what should have been the final occuring earlier than then due to the way the brackets were set. What are your thoughts on that and, politeness aside, do you think NoA were the second best team at that event?

TaZ: Hmm I don't know if they were the 2nd best team at ESWC, but it felt like it was harder vs. fnatic. On the other hand we had a huge boost in the finals after the fnatic win, so it's hard to compare those two games. I think that NoA deserverd to be in the final, they were playing really well and you can't take that away from them. Those two teams were always playing on the same high level, and it would be unfair to take away anything from fnatic or NoA.

Just a quick note for those who didn't know about this feature change for the upcoming series of ESL's Pro Series.

All teams must qualify through the Amateur Series to get into the ESL Pro Series. There are no direct invites. Also teams must play 8 matches (not including default wins) to be eligible for qualification!

In effect the following teams who were originally offered spots will now have to qualify via the Amateur Series.

They are:

dignitas
The Last Resort
diamondZ
Virtuoso
Afterlife Gaming
Flattering to Deceive

Good luck to those competing.
