Poker players come from a variety of different backgrounds, and one such group of people who do very well in poker is video gamers. That is the case for mcsias of Belarus, who used to travel the world as a gamer before turning his attention to poker.
The 26 year old was the Belarus champion of the game Counter-Strike 5 times, before he discovered PokerStrategy.com.
He managed to turn his free $50 bankroll into a career, and he now plays SNGs professionally, up to the $100 level.
He won his seat to the event in London in dramatic fashion, having to play several 17 hour days to bag his ticket in one of the final rake races.
"When I was a gamer, I went to many world tournaments like WCG or ESWC. I miss them so much, and I hope that PokerStrategy.com TV World Championship will bring back the spirit of those days."
Axleska - The Home Grown Coach

What we really want to get across with the PokerStrategy.com TV World Championship is how PokerStrategy.com can turn new players into big names.
That is exactly the case with axleska from Hungary, who has climbed the ranks here from newbie to pro to coach in the space of four years.
He first started to learn the game from our videos and private coaching, and now not only is he a professional cash game player crushing the $1k six max games, he is also a popular coach.
And he proved how far he has come when he beat 9 other PokerStrategy.com coaches in a single table tournament to book his seat in the even.
"If I win, I will probably go to New York to have the New Year’s party there."
Bach23 - Playing Live For the First Time
For every professional or coach playing in this event, we also have plenty of new players who will be experiencing lots of firsts in London.
36 year old Bach23 of Russia is one such example. The PokerStrategy.com TV World Championship will be a massive change from his normal computing job, and not only that, it will be his first live game ever.
He has been with PokerStrategy.com from the start of his poker life, and he won his seat to the championship in a depositors freeroll.
"If I win the event, I'll make a huge deposit and start crushing!"
