 Swiss: Are you a first time for the great time you will play for the national team. What was lack of thee and thy brother's team? They say that it was a scandal connected with the publication in a magazine a few years ago?

HERO: Its not our first time. We already played on 2005 and 2006 and of course got the title. All started at thegerman worldcybergames qualification in 2006 when styla played against jul, hehad ball possession and the standing was 0:0. But some Player and the german Admin, who doesnt like us as well wanted to punish styla. They really searched to find hints that styla disconnected. Of course, there wasnt any. But after all a famous german magazine published an very unfriendly article about Dennis andme. One of the Team germany player gave the newswriter wrong informations. We were displayed in this article as very arrogant, unfriendly and as cheaters which didnt got a punishment cause the referees were not able to find enough evidence. And so we decided not to play with a player who spread this lies and quitted playing in the enc team of germany. But luckily he wasnt able to stay on top in Germany and so we could get back into the Team.

 Swiss: What responsibility lies with you, when you play for the national team of Germany?

HERO: Of course we have to get he title this year. And im very optimistic that we areable to get the pot back to germany. The new organization behind the team is much better and more objective as the last and so i think we will have a much better lineup for the lan Finals as we had the last Year when polen got the title which they really deserved! What do you feel playing for the ENC team for the first time this year? Its not my first time. But im very proud to be back and still want to gettitles. I will do my best to help us winning the title for the fourth time now. We have the best team out there and want to approve these facts.

 Swiss: Why did captain bandage of ENC TEAM trusted your brother styla, and not you?

HERO: Im not that kind of player who can handle a team. Styla is the best team Captain there is. He was responsible for the rise of these players like era, krone, mario and ennu. Styla saw their talent and helped them to get on top. And of course he will do the same with the national team. So i think it was a logical step to catch the best Captain for the best Team.

 Swiss: Which team in the ENC group you think worthy of getting into the lan-finals?

HERO: There are so many good Teams. I cannot say that any team will deserve it more than another. But i would like to see austria at the lan finals. there are some positive rivalitys between germany and austria so it would be a wonderful story for the lan finals. and of course i would like to see Teams as ukraine, russia, rumania or spain. But of course I hope poland to be at the lan finals so that we are ableto beat them there. We want to do revenge for the last years final.

 Swiss: How do you assess the national team of Austria (Mario) and Ukraine?

HERO:: They are really strong. Austria has beaten bulgaria at the last relegation. So we have to be good prepared. I didnt know anything about the ukraine. So it will be very exciting to see them in action :)

Swiss: What is your usual day like? How do you spend it?

SK|hero: its different.. most of the time i get up and have some breakfast, afterwards i visit the university and do my studies.
When this is done iґll try to practice as much as i can. Cause sometimes i have to meet my girlfriend or my friends or just do some other things. But i try to practice every day.

Swiss:  What is your day like before a big championship?

SK|hero: Nearly the same as my usual day *fg* but with a bigger part practice and less "real life" *laugh*

Swiss: What in your opinion helped you the most to become a twice world champion?

SK|hero: At first u should have the will to win. If you dont have it and just play cause you want to earn some money, you never will
have big achievements. You have to have fun in practicing and playing your game! This is most important! Of course family
is a big factor. Everyone needs someone who is supporting you and just build you up after you loose in an more or less
important game. And so family is another big criteria.

Swiss:  What role did your twin brother play in your sports life?

SK|hero: A big one. Cause we both practice most of the time and try to improve our skills. But another advantage is that you dont
have as much pressure as if you are a "single player". We share every prize money we get. and every achievement is not only the achievement of one twin. Its the work of both. and so its easier to play a tournament or a league. Cause you know there is another player who is as strong as you are. if you have a bad day, he may have a good. So when he win a tournament and i fail. i although feel like a winner *gg*

Swiss:  You have been a top player on the FIFA WORLD Stage for a long time and you have seen a lot. In your opinion which kind of work of events  and championships organizers lead to the FIFA game popularization and more people like it? What do WCG orga? What do players? Why fifa so famous in some countryes? Why some players play FIFA on console not on PC?

SK|hero: In my opinion there is none organisation who is the "best" organizer of fifa events.. only the wcg trys to do it as best as possible, but there are also every year a few problems which they do not handle as they should be handled. I think the most important problem of the fifa community is that the most players try to compete with their friends on the console at home. Most of the people
doesnt try to play online. So its very important to connect these people to the internet and of course into online leagues, ladders etc. Another problem is that fifa has a strong opponent with PES. In cs there wasnt any opponent when the game was released.. the same when warcraft was released. Another aspect is that you have another game depending on the plattform. Fifa09 on the pc is very
different towards the xbox or ps3 version. So there are a lot of aspects why it is so hard to grow.

Swiss:  Let’s recall all versions of FIFA for the past years since 2001. Which years could you get maximum and which years made you think of quitting your career?
SK|hero:  ohh.. i think the fifa best fifa party are those which a uneven number.. fifa 03,05,07,09 The focus of these games are more in the attack than in the defence. And of course its much more fun to score a goal than defending. But i cannot say that there is a game i like most. Cause every has his own character and is different.. but the most skilled fifa game was fifa 03. There wasnt any lucky situation. The even parts, like 04, 06, 08 arent as good as the uneven, these were the parts where i got demotivated while practicing and often
thought of quitting the "fifa career".

Swiss:  Why do you think, Germany is the country where the FIFA-movement (FIFA-scene, community) became so popular and wide?

SK|hero: I think germany good a boom when styla and me got worldchampions in 2003. There were lots of classic media just like TV, Newspapers, magazins etc. who covered the story about these two twin brothers. And so the clans in Germany and of
course the leagues recognised how important fifa is to get a connection into these classic media. And of course the scene grow and grow. everytime my brother and me go into a disco, a bar or just shopping people recognises us. Some of them ask us something about our career or just if we are these fifa players which they have seen on this tv channel or in this newspaper. Or they just want
to know something about our life or how we got world champions, what our day is like etc.

Swiss: Why in Germany so many Sponsor for fifa leagues and cups? why so many talanted players?

SK|hero: Every EPS player in Germany is able to earn a lot of money. So many players just
see it as a side job to increase their pocket money :>
