Interview with HasuObs, the captain of the Germany:+ Show Spoiler +HasuObs, currently playing for Mousesports, is the Germany's Captain. Hello HasuObs. Germany reached the playoffs in the last edition. How is the German squad?HasuObs: "Hello, we are doing fine we are looking forward to play in this edition!"Your opponent is Canada, which is a new country in NationWars. Are you happy with the draw?HasuObs: "I would say Canada is a very hard draw for the first round and the tournament format changed a bit (there used to be a lower bracket last time) so were not allowed to make any mistakes if we want to make it as far as last season, or even further!"What is the key to win this match? What is the detail which will make your team win?HasuObs: "Win four maps, win four maps... The line-up of Canada is very well rounded, with Scarlett and HuK they have two very expierenced players and Desrow is one of the upcoming Protosses of NA. For our team: our racical distribution is perfect, TLO as zerg, Heromarine as Terran and myself as a Protoss, i hope that will give us the edge we need to succeed!"You did not participate to NationWars I and you joined the German squad instead of Socke. Do you think you can strengthen the squad and help Germany to do better than NationWars I ?HasuObs: "Yes, this time i got elected by the community nd iam very happy about it! I think that Socke and myself have a very different playstyle, but are almost equally strong. Its hard to predict if we can do better than in Season 1, but we will do our very best."
Interview with Nerchio, the captain of Poland:
+ Show Spoiler +Nerchio is currently playing for Team Acer and was elected by the other Polish players as a captain. Hello. Nerchio, you were one more time elected as the captain of Poland. What did you think about the performance of your country during NationWars I ?Nerchio: "We were not satisfied how we did in season 1 but we were unlucky to fight against such a strong team early in NationWars I. We had to face Norway that i think went on to the finals and we wasn't really confident against their line up but this season it should go much better for us."You will play with two zergs for this edition since Tefel substituted Diestar. Is the team stronger this time or do you prefer a balanced team with a player from each race?Nerchio: "I think our line-up is a little bit stronger this time because Tefel has a lot of experience in international tournaments and he also managed to qualify for WCS Premier League this season so I think our chances to win are higher. It doesn't really matter what races the players are unless you got a team of all players from the same race."Poland is facing UK tonight. What do you think about your opponent?Nerchio: "They are definitely within our reach and if i had to be honest we will probably win 4-0 or 4-1 depending who will be our first player. UK line up is not weak by any means but I think we have players that are more successful and well round-up so we should be confident to take this."
Interview with Tidus, the manager of United Kingdom:
+ Show Spoiler +Tidus is currently managing for Mousesports and is the British captain.
Hello Tidus. You were elected by the UK players as the manager of your nation. What's your feeling before the beginning of the competition? What do you want to bring to the UK squad?
Tidus: "Myself and the rest of the team are anxious for our upcoming game. Team Poland is one of the strongest teams in the tournament so it is essential that we bring our A-game and pull out the victory. As soon as I heard about Nation Wars, I was determined to round up the top 3 UK players and really show our nations strength which is something we haven't yet done in a team format. The team has been working together to try and create the best team synergy so we can give the match our full attention and our best shot."
Your opponent is Poland, which is one of the biggest nation on Starcraft II. Are you happy with the draw?
Tidus: "Well i'm not a huge fan of the format for this nationwars cup as it is quite harsh. I feel we have recieved one of the toughest draws, but we will try our best to win and hopefully we can come through with a victory."
UK is one of the biggest community in the world. People should expect a lot from you. Do you feel any pressure?
Tidus: "UK is indeed one of the largest esport communities. As far as players go, we have always been on peoples minds but never usually at the very top. We intend to change that. The top UK players have consistently managed to establish themselves as strong players and now we aim to show off the UK's talent as a nation. We don't feel an incredible amount of pressure as many would consider us the underdog. However we are confident and will come out and give everything we have to give in the match against Poland."

Indeed, Germany vs Mexico next round won't be nearly as tense as this match. But perhaps Take will spice it up by putting a bounty on Major?

Plumbers for the win ! Germany should have this, although their team is quite Protoss-heavy and TLO and Heromarine had trouble against those lately...

We have a good shot to take this Well a better shot than the World Cup anyway

Should be a really interesting fight, Germany has a really strong team one of the few teams with three very strong players. It will all come down to how well Scarlett is playing.....

HasuObs has changed quite a bit judging by that picture. Hoping the UK comes out and dominates Poland, we need something to cheer for once :<
