O'GamingTV with Pomf, Thud, Anoss,  FunKa and  MoMaN Thomas "Khaldor" Killian TaKeTV with Dennis "TaKe" Gehlen Sergei " Pomi" Rodionov EmScTV with Emil HysteRya and Pr0gr4m3r  Vasacast![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/hNip17d.png) Norway vs. NetherlandsInterview of TargA, the captain of Norway:+ Show Spoiler + TargA, currently playing for Imaginary Gaming, is the Norway's captain, who won last edition of NationWars.Hello TargA. Four months ago, Norway became the first champion of NationWars. What did you feel when you made your country win?TargA: "I think we were the only team that had two ace players, so either me or Snute could start or finish the matches. We also have very different play styles so it makes harder for our opponents even though we play the same race. We also had a wildcard player, Eiki, who surprised me and Snute and was able to take down some big players. We also took it very seriously, putting a lot of effort and thought in to who's starting, what maps should be vetoed and saved."A lot of people did not forecast the victory of Norway for NationWars. Do you feel you managed to change community's point of view about Norway? TargA: "I read some of the comments of the TL post and I think people kinda forgot that we won, some are listing Sweden as favorites for some absurd reason, so I don't think we changed the communitys point of view, but I bet all the other nations have Norway as favorites to win." You kept exactly the same squad as the past edition with Snute and Eiki. Do you think you are stronger than before? TargA: "Me and Snute are stronger than last time, not too sure about Eiki since he's finishing up his last year of school, but hopefully he can protoss his way to a few wins!" What do you think about your first match against the Netherlands? What will be the key to win? TargA: "For our match against Netherlands, I don't think it matters who start, Me, Snute or Eiki are all capable of all killing them. I think they will have to get really lucky in order to win a map." Who would you like to face next if you win: Sweden or Denmark? TargA: "We would like to play Sweden since they are the weaker team, but I don't fear Denmark too much. Will be an easy match anyways!" Interview of Ret, the captain of the Netherlands:+ Show Spoiler + Ret, currently playing for TeamLiquid, is the Netherlands's Captain.Hello Ret. You are the captain of the Netherlands for its first participation to NationWars. What do you think about your squad?Ret: " I think our squad is very solid! Grubby needs no introduction and Harstem & uThermal have been owning lately! Harstem you can't really say hes an up & comer anymore, hes been posting solid results at the top of europe for over a year now. uThermal recently qualified for WCS twice and his TvZ could help us out tremendously! I have to practice my ass off to try and not be the weak link in this line-up!"uThermal will replace Grubby and a big part of the community think that it could be a good thing for the Netherlands. What's your opinion about it?Ret: " Yeah, considering Grubby has been on holidays and likely hasn't practiced as much as he usually does, I think uThermal is a great replacement. He's on fire recently and I'm sure he'll do well."You are going to face the NationWars I's champion, Norway. What do you think about this team? Ret: " Obviously Norway has a great line-up. Snute has to be considered as the best foreigner at this point with his recent results. He's just an insane player. TargA is not much worse than Snute, and also a top european player. Eiki is dangerous too. However, I think we can take them"What will be the key to win this match against them? Ret: "Taking out Snute fast!" Who would you like to face next if you win: Sweden or Denmark? Ret: " I'd like to play Denmark so we can play babyknight & bunny. No particular reason, I just like the Danish team." ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/el26SVS.jpg) Norway's squad : Snute, Eiki and TargA.+ Show Spoiler + EikiAfter having won NM SpillExpo 2013, Eiki can boast he is the National champion in Norway. This protoss is the best player of the rising team Karnage eSports and is able to show very interesting things. Always good at online competitions and in ladder, Eiki was the revelation of NationWars by taking very important points.SnuteSnute is one the most amazing and respectable player in Europe. Second at HomeStory Cup VII, winner at HomeStory Cup VI, he shined in many other other tournaments like SeatStory Cup or TakeTV Ultra Invitationa. The MVP of NationWars I is in shape and seems able to beat any player in the world thanks to his very lovely style. His experience in Proleague and in WCS NA could give to Norway a very good weapon to secure the second title of NationWars. TargaThe Norwegian Captain had a remarkable run to the semi-finals at 2012 DreamHack Open: Valencia and is one of the rare Zergs able to scare all the European players. This charismatic player managed to create a wonderful team spirit during NationWars I and will be the key of the Norwegian success. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/2PJKUt4.jpg) Netherlands's squad: Harstem, uThermal and Ret.+ Show Spoiler + HarstemHarstem is a macro-oriented Protoss playing for Fnatic.

His experience in GSL and all the top tournaments he participated will be an interesting asset for his country. Sweden vs. DenmarkInterview of Miniraser, the captain of Sweden:+ Show Spoiler + Miniraser is a Fnatic player and was elected by the other Swedish players as a captain.Thank you for accepting this crossed interview together. Hello Miniraser, the Swedish players elected you as the captain of Sweden. What do you think about the Swedish squad? Miniraser: "It is a decent squad. I am a bit sad we are missing my good friend NaNiwa."Your opponent is Denmark, which is a new country in NationWars. Are you happy with the draw? Miniraser: "I think Denmark is pretty dangerous to play since there is a revive card whereas Bunny is really good. BabyKnight also is dangerous but I think Bunny is a bit more scary at the moment."Who would you like to meet in Ro8 if you win: Norway or Netherlands? Miniraser: "I want to face the Netherlands because it would be fun to play vs Harstem." Interview of BabyKnight, the captain of Denmark:+ Show Spoiler + BabyKnight is currently playing for Millenium and is the Danish captain.Thank you for accepting this interview. You were chosen to be the captain of Denmark for its first participation to NationWars. How does your team feel the competition? Babyknight: "We're very excited to be a part of NationWars! We believe there are a lot of strong nations out there, but we're definitely one of them. If we are able to play our best and maybe get a little bit lucky, I believe we can win the whole thing!" You are going to face Sweden. Are you happy with the draw? Babyknight: "Yes. We are going to destroy them." What will be the key to win this match against them? Babyknight: "An end result being 4-0, 4-1, 4-2 or 4-3." Who would you like to face next if you win: Norway or Netherlands? Babyknight: "Either will do. We're not scared of anyone!" ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/a1tsGg5.jpg) Sweden's squad: Miniraser MorroW and Zanster+ Show Spoiler + MiniraserMiniraser is a young Zerg player playing for Fnatic. Qualified for Ironsquid II, he stands as a reliable player with regular and good performances. MorrowThorzain is not available because of his studies and Sjow just switched to Protoss. MorroW is the best Terran in Sweden at the moment and performed more and more in several tournaments thanks to his new mech style. ZansterZanster showed recently an amazing level in online tournaments, beating some Koreans at Dreamhack thanks to his skyrocketing APM. The Fnatic player is one of the hot prospect in Europe and performed a lot in many cups. Being the best Swedish Zerg should not be enough for this 16 year old player and he obviously wants to show to Europe how sick he can be. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/wxR6EfX.jpg) Denmark's squad : BabyKnight Bunny and spacemarine.+ Show Spoiler + BabyknightTime goes by and Babyknight is still one of the top Protoss in Europe. Still in Premier League, the Millenium player has skill, charism and experience to carry his country in NationWars to the victory. BunnyBunny is one of the top European player at the moment. Since his transfer to Team Liquid, the young Terran has levelled up and crushed a lot of top players, especially to reach the top 8 in the last Dreamhack. SpacemarineSpacemarine is a very good Protoss, who is currently playing for Team Gravity. He succeeded in many online cups thanks to tailored all-ins and his creativity will be a harmful weapon for his opponents. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/pIH4cVL.png) Norway is the champion and faces a huge step today. However, their great team spirit and choices of maps & players have been good in NationWars and this experience seems priceless. Indeed, Netherlands has an amazing line-up with three players who partipated to Premier League in Europe. uThermal could be the silver bullet of his countries to beat the Norwegian swarm. The young Terran has a wonderful TvZ and has recently beaten Zanster, FireCake and SortOf. Yet, Snute looks too strong at the moment and the Netherlands may have to kill him twice with a revive. Both Denmark and Sweden have hot prospects and are becoming more and more impressive. Denmark has a very interesting line-up. Like the Netherlands, it is the first time they play NationWars and experience might lack. Sweden has a culture of winning in eSports and completely failed NationWars. This new squad, carried by Miniraser, wants to take its revenge and win. Zanster showed interesting things in ZvT, crushing recently Ryung and even Bunny.The latter should be the ace of the Danish line-up and remains one of the best non-korean player at the moment. He could bring the victory to Denmark Predictions: Norway > Netherlands Sweden < Denmark Norway and Denmark to advance.![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/v2pVloz.png) Poll: Norway vs. Netherlands?
