Miscellaneous:
* Innovator of the 'Ask X' concept. 'Ask HeatoN' and 'Ask element' for Gamers.nu, 'Ask ESEA' is self-explanatory.
* Innovator of the CS/gaming movie review. Reviewed over 1,500 movies since July of 2002.
* Donated personal airfare to the 2001 WCG finals in Korea to the 2nd place finisher in the UK Q3 qualifier, sid. He went on to place 9th at the finals.
* Conducted over 100 audio interviews (not including Ask ESEAs) and 300 video interviews at esports events.
* Can be seen interviewing Johnathon “Fatal1ty” Wendel in the MTV special “True life: I’m a gamer” at ~26:07 onwards.
* An article written for ESEA, “CS history: NiP”, chronicling the origin and life of the CPL Championship team Ninjas in Pyjamas was included in the CS movie release ‘NiP – Hard Wired’. Naturally consent for this was not requested as that movie was terrible.
* Innovator of the category box site design ESEA previously employed where each type of content has its own box which is then rotated down the front page as new content is added to other catagory boxes.
* Innovator of 'Between the lines', a satirical series of pieces examining topical events in the world of esports.
* Father of the infamous captions on Team3D's event photo galleries from 2003-2004.

I too wanted to point that out because most of the Eastern European surnames in general don't sound and/or look good in English. But when I gave it a second though I really didn't want to challenge your resourcefulness. Cheers!

Thanks for the swift response on the steel thing. Interestingly enough I have never heard someone mention him as a great player and am also surprised that they don't recognise him as such. Playing in 3D is definitely a worthy achievement. We have a bulgarian player in the EPS Alps champion team and people "brag" about that but not for Ognian. Strange.
