After the interviews with Grubby, Cassandra, and the ex-manager Nordahl, another Meet Your Makers player was given the chance to speak his mind. The 17-year old rising Russian star, Dmitriy 'Happy' Kostin was caught by the French website esportsfrance.com two days ago, where he spoke a lot about different subjects.

The European Undead recently joined the reformed squad of MYM, with Grubby and Ciara as team-mates. In 2008, the youngster improved quite a lot, finishing 3rd at the BlizzCon. But the most surprising result was his bronze medal in the World Cyber Games, losing only to Moon and the champion - Grubby. Playing for the 3rd place, Happy grabbed a victory against the Ukrainian HoT, and secured a spot in the top 3. The MYM star recently showed very solid performance in the 4th season of PGL. His latest appearance was in the 74th edition of ZOTAC Cup, where he lost in the finals to the Orcer Lyn.

As for the interview itself, it was quite long, and the Russian gamer talked about his current and previous teams and his situation, about WarCraft and its future, and the Russian scene. In addition, Happy shares things from his real life - the offers he recieved, school, friends and family. Random questions were also included.

Young players are invading Europe, most particularly LucifroN and yourself, or even XlorD, elfi and a few others. According to you, is there an ideal age to be a progamer? ToD told a french radio that once you reach 25, it became nearly impossible.

- Perhaps there the ideal age has to be 19-21 years old, that’s the best time you can realize yourself as a progamer. But well normally it could be any age before you turn older than 24 or so. Just because after games are as enjoyable as it was for you, and your hands are not as fast as back in the young age now. Also people just want to focus on other things in life and put their gaming activities on hold. Of course everywhere there are exceptions but it’s how it goes overall.
