Swiss: You have made a long way from a player to the champion…Tell us why you chose FIFA and not other Cyber sport discipline?
Styla: Well, i always played fifa games in my lifetime. Against my brother or friends. then in 2000 i started playing online with counter-strike. i had much fun in playing with my schoolfriends. me and my brother were very talented in cs.  but my brother and me loved to play single player games, in which its only on your own, if you win or not. and because of the reason, that we are great football fans and always played a lot football games, we started playing fifa online with regular practice times.

Swiss: Have you ever had a moment in your life when you doubted if you should go on playing in FIFA?
Styla: yes, it was 2004. I hated this game. Every played game was one too often. i triedto get motivation for this game, but if u have won everything in 2003, your motivation isnt the best the year after, too. In the end, i hadnt much success this year. there were many persons who called us "one-hit-wonders". This gave us new motivation and with the release of fifa2005, which was much better my brother and me decided to start a comeback with SK.

Swiss: Does your popularity bring any discomfort into your private life?
Styla:Yes, it has good and bad sides. I didnt play in higher real football-leagues any more, because wecouldnt participate at every practices and we couldnt always be in the soccerfield at sundays, because of many Tournaments. We decided to play on a lower level just for fun from then. And because of our popularity in our City and our way to earn money there are a lot of envy people. From then we had more problems in our football clubs with some players or with the coach. And sometimes somewhere else. But most times it has good sides :)

Swiss: Do you think that girls want to get acquainted with you because of your popularity and success and not because of your male merits?

Styla: yes, definitely. Its sad, but its true. Many girls are materialistic. But the problem is, that i dont fit to them, i dont like those girls. Most times i am just flirting ;)My girlfriend has to be just normal. internal beauty is more important than external!

Swiss: How much are bothered by FIFA fans, your fans and journalists in daily life?
Styla:Well, its very often. Here in my region i cannot go anywhere without being recognized. Its just funny, when someone appeals me in discos, cafes, bars and so on. there are many requestsby journalists. most times after big events or when world cup in germany was. sometimes 2 interviews a day. sometimes 2weeks nothing. always different. i am collecting all articles about us from newspapers and magazines. now i can hardly lift my article-box :>

Swiss: What is your usual playing day like? How much is it filled with cyber sport events and routine?
Styla: Well, i am practising every day. Normally 2hours per day. Before events and in the beginning of a new fifa its up to 3-4 hours. but sometimes i dont practise, when there is no important game the upcoming week, so that i can just relax. I just play, when i have time. sometimes in the morning, when i dont have university, sometimes late at night, when i come home from friends. Its always different, so im very flexible in my practice times.

Swiss: Is our champion on a special diet or prefers traditional German cuisine?
Styla: I am never in diet. Im always hungry, although im very slim. at tournaments im eating less, to
have more concentration. My favorite food is the traditional german cuisine .

Can you tell us some secrets about the Fifa  ?
Styla: Anticipation, learn to read your opponent! Thats the key to be a good fifa player. all other things do u learn with playing a lot of games, getting more experience and adopting tricks from better players.

What do you prefer, the lan tournaments or i-net competitions ?
Styla: of course the lan tournaments. of course lan. the online connections are most time too bad.i hate playing online, because i have a special playing style which is bad when you have delay. so my online results are much more worse than on lan. every year the same :P the online qualifications for big events are a real horror for me :> and of course i love to play in public. i dont get nervous i get motivated :]
