Dmitriy "Happy" Kostin speaks to SK after his victory against Mykhaylo "HoT" Novopashyn secured him 3rd place in the World Cyber Games 2008.

Dmitriy 'Happy' Kostin lost to Moon in the semi finals 2-1 but the consolation final gave him a chance to earn the Motherland a bronze medal. Mihail 'XyLigan' Ryabkov placed fourth twice but Russia has never earned a medal at WCG which makes Happy's achievement all the more impressive.

Seeing how good he is against elf, his bracket was an invitation to 2nd place. Only a crazed moon could stop him and his match for 3rd place was against elf again.

yeah i know; but he just got 3rd in WCG, so he should be worth his price! i think the problem is that the top teams are mostly Korean/Chinese only and dont wanna add an european; the lower placed teams in wc3l can't afford him i guess!
