The Finish top-nocht player  elfittaja speaks about the upcoming tournaments he qualified for, his recent results, how he became better within the last months and why he recently changed his team.
To the interview
Some impressions:
Are you currently a full-time pro-gamer?
Elfittaja: Yes, I'm playing full-time at the moment. I have been some time already, but I have still long way to go. Often I slack practice, but lately I've had so much motivation since I were surprised with my results.
As you mentioned you seem to be totally on fire lately, beating a lot of great players such as NaDa. How did you manage to improve your play that much?
Elfittaja: I think the biggest factor is that I've started trusting myself. Before when I was playing top players I was always thinking so hard which one-base rush I will do this time, but now I'm confident to go expand vs anyone and play my own game and not think how I could surprise my opponent this time.

With the Global Challenges in New York and Guangzhou coming up, do you feel like being the underdog?
Elfittaja: Well, yes. I think I'm the underdog there but that's good think. I wont have any pressure there but my opponents are in situation that they have to win versus me, since I'm the underdog, so that makes it possible to affect their playing. At least that's what happens to me always when my opponent is underdog. I panic too much since I'm supposed to win the game there.
What are your goals for those two tournaments?
Elfittaja: My goals are to advance from my group in both tournaments and reach the Top 4 in one of them.

judging by his apm of 90, he's not the european flash 
but i heard he's very precisely and efficient with his mouse movement, so that might be the reason!
edit: i have to say that i was impressed by his game lately, he's just a very very solid player.
gogo elfittaja

Sounds like he's got realistic ambitions if he can perform at his highest level. He might go in as an underdog but it so often seems that on any given day any pro can beat another if things go there way. I'd like to see some continued success for him

My advice to him; find a proper way to sit. Otherwise you'll have RSI within no time.
Trust me, i learned the hard way.

Well, that's a rather horrible and narrow statement to make, don't you think?
On topic, I would love to see them bring in extra chairs to a booth at an event so he can put his feet up.

Flash was and still is relatively light on the apm considering.

I can second this

Sure it's low, especially at the start of the game when I have fucking 6 probes.
I laughed. Exactly how I feel.

i would rather be 20 and look 13, knowing that i will age slowly than be 20 and look 27, knowing that im aging quickly ^^

Exactly. Which is why I don't understand why...
+ Show Spoiler +People smoke crack. Seriously, I know a guy who smokes it, he's 34, but he looks like he's 50. It would just be messed up to go through that, not to mention loosing your house, teeth, and family. Don't do drugs kids.
Back on topic. He's a pretty solid player, and I expect him to come higher into the spotlight pretty soon. Gl to him.

Aw, thought this was Elfi elfi.
