"No. First of all, my career hasn't really started yet, roughly speaking. The team I'm playing with now is, roughly speaking, my first Tier 1 team. You could say, conditionally, that now is kind of... you could call it the peak of my career, because I'm playing with the strongest players from the CIS."
