I just got a chance to speak with European PC FIFA ladder leader dragua, who I had never encountered before. Not being a huge FIFA aficionado (comes with the territory of being a fat, ignorant American), I was curious to know his history and motivations in the Digital Games tournament. Without further ado, here’s the interview!
GGL: Please state your real name, age, and occupation.
My name is Artem Dragunov. I am 22. I am from Latvia. I study in the Riga Technical University on the Faculty of Electronics and Telecommunations and I work in an insurance company as a database-support operator.
GGL: What attracted you to play in the Digital Games tournament?
I decided to take part in the Digital Games, because it was quite interesting for me to represent my country among the FIFA-players from all over the world in a competition, which is a part of the Olympic Games in China.
GGL: Why FIFA? Are you a huge futbol fan, did you grow up playing it?
Yes, you are right. I like football very much. I was playing football at the professional level for 5 years.
