While in Kiev, I sat down with Dimaga to talk to him about his life as a progamer, what life would be like for him if not for Starcraft, and much, much more.

This is part one of the two part interview. (I'll be sure to update this post with part two when its up)

Really enjoyed talking to Dima, and I feel strongly that he's one of the most loveable, charismatic, and admirable people in Starcraft.

Enjoy:

I thought this was going to be some clever troll involving Carmac, but will take a look!

Thanks for all you do Bitter!

Dimaga is such a nice guy. I felt like he looked kinda mean from his pictures. It was nice to hear about his life as a progamer. How long he has been around, the different teams he's been a part of, and even what sort of contract he has with his team.

dimaga is always filled with energy, I am such a big fan of him even though I find his ZvP style really hurts my heart from time to time
