They have a couple of good players that can compete with Morrow as seen in the Viking cup. Not sure about their nicks, but I think Naama and Satiini are two Finish players.
Naama and Satiini will probably take a map each. (For the record, satiini is just a pure beast, he can still compete with the elite of active Wc3 players despite having more or less abandoned Wc3 for good), but for the rest im certainly Sweden will take most of the points.
Gotfrag about team Finland(http://www.gotfrag.com/war/story/39401/?spage=1) "In the LAN finals, the team might be a bit hard-pressed to finish in a top spot, due to one of their main players not attending the finals.",
"Compared to the other teams, Finland lacks the LAN experience the rest of the other players have. Most of them has never attended a LAN event"
Team Sweden: "Sweden might not have a large population, but they are certainly doing something right in the progaming department. This country has been known to produce top e-sport competitiors, from games ranging from Warcraft III to Counterstrike. "
"Sweden has a formidable team with three very talented Night Elves � GlaiVe, SaSe and LiiLD.C."
But:
Finland 4 -0 Sweden upperbracket finals (http://www.gosugamers.net/warcraft/news.php?id=6914) Finland also won Sweden in the final of the tournament, reason for this according to the swedes was:
“It sucks when the whole team drinks like hell before final (except me). And then lose to Finland who attended a LAN for the first time ever in their life.” - Sase (http://www.mymym.com/en/news/12210.html)
Finland doesn't tend to have many internationally known players, but our own little pro-scenes in any game are usually pretty good. E-sports isn't a huge deal around here yet.
Expecting to see a very competitive team from Finland even though it might be "nobodies" on an international scale.
Finland has a few really good players, but Sweden has even more if you take players on that level. Jimpo, merz etc are all on the same level as Naama and Satiini, I would think?

SjoW is also an ex WC3 player and possibly also better than Satiini.

It is surprising that a European match would be cast on JTV... It's the best streaming site for Americans, but for everybody else not so much.

Why play this weird survivor mode? Do it like we did in BW, 4 1v1s and 1 2v2. Or 5 1v1s and 2 2v2s.
Playing like this only favors nations who have say 1 or 2 really strong players. Well, actually, of course, the less really good players a nation has, the more the format favors them (relative to their actual strength).

Yeah I know what the score is but I'd want something that shows who won against who, what map etc. For someone just tuning in, it's kind of hard to jump right in and enjoy the tournament without knowing what has happened and what's to come. Apparently there aren't any specific site that get updated right?

sadley it was more of a b team from sweden without jinro and morrow and hapro , madfrog there would also be awsome even if hes not top of his game yet.
