  • Antti Esko? He's Mikko's brother, am I guessing right? How does he play? He's not the youngest player but I don't remember if I saw him playing...

  • Yes, he is Mikko's brother. He plays also as a setter and is currently playing Finnish League semifinals with the VaLePa team, which is also Mikko's original team. Antti has played previously some matches in national team mainly as backup setter or serving substitute.
