Eiki interview by Millenium.

[M] Corto : For those of you who were at Le Trianon in Paris for the second edition of the Nation Wars, you all lived how the Norwegian player Eiki managed to conquer the French crowd, thanks to an impressive all-kill during the semifinals against Poland.
To come back with him on this event, and learn a little bit more about him I have the chance to have him with me today for an interview. Hello Eiki !

[KRN] Eiki : Hi !

To begin with, it seems that there is something very special happening between you and the Nation Wars tournament, already during the first edition, you managed to perform very well for your country.
I remember that you already did a great job against Poland, and at that time, only a few people knew about you, at least in France, how do you understand these good performances for this particular tournament ?
[KRN] Eiki : I think there’s two parts: first part is the tournament format which is the all-kill format. And that means that when I have Snute and TargA on my team, it’s not a huge pressure for me to win my match, but if I do win, it’s a huge positive [thing] it’s not a huge amount of pressure on me. And I can have a streak where I will certainly do well.
Also, the most important part I think was the team, Snute, TargA and me, I think they helped me a lot. In the first Nation Wars, they didn’t help me that much. There was the format and the ability to play without pressure. But also playing, knowing that if I did win, it was a huge bonus, nobody knew me so it didn’t matter for us anyway.
And the second one, it was hugely down to the help I got from Snute and TargA, they helped me to prepare so much for the Poland match.

Does this mean that you had particular preparation for this final ? You met on Skype and discussed the tactics ? Or you really played together to test different playstyle ? How did you do ?

[KRN] Eiki : You mean for the first or the second ?
