The last in our two part pre-season interview series features Team Managers wulongStroM(OrzRush), Navi, CCMGoMaX and Timber

Q1: Who do you think is the strongest team to win this Nation War League and why?

+ Show +

wulongStroM: China is the strongest team of this Nation war league because they have xiaot, jim, comm and Xigua.

Navi: In my opinion, I feel that the strongest team overall would have to be Team Australia - Their line up gives me nightmares, not gonna lie haha but in all honesty, they have a very very strong line up of high profile, consistent SEA players who I think will definitely make it far in this season.

CCMGoMaX: I feel the pro team from China will win the Nation War League because the Chinese progamer's ladder points on the Korean server are much higher than the other players from other countries apart from Korea.

Timber: Since I'm not familiar with the players from China and Taiwan, i would choose Australia as the favourite since SEA season 2 scene is pretty much dominated by their players.

Q2: Are you happy with your team selection and if you had to pick your 3 star players who will they be?

+ Show +

wulongStroM: I am happy with my team selection, and I will pick the 3 star players of my team as Sen, luway and HuiStorM. HuiStorM is lesser known but when plays against the best he will become stronger. He even beat july before!. He is also known as XpecIMHui.

Navi: Overall, I'm pretty happy with the NZ team selection - I've come to know most of the players in the team and everyone is pretty cool =]. If I had to pick our top3 stars, I would have to pick Master, Jazbas and Kowi who need no introduction (with Finest being up there also). Unfortunately, Wild and Azazel decided not to play in the qualifiers for the team so thats one hit that the NZ team has taken off the bat, however, NZ has a number of players slowly coming up the ranks and I look forward to seeing how much they can develop under the guidance of our top4.

CCMGoMaX: I'm glad to take part in this tournament and if I had to chose 3 players, maybe they would be: CCM.xigua, CCM.xiaot and TylooJim.

Timber: I'm fairly satisfied with my team selection, I am glad that they have shown enthusiasm to play for their country. My top 3 players would be one from each race, Cobo, Oneplus and FoodDealer. Cobo can easily be the best protoss on SEA if he spend enough time on the game, Oneplus is by far the most reliable terran to field in any matchups, FoodDealer only have to quit HoN so that he can spend more time in SC2 and claim his crown as top Malaysian zerg.

Q3: How do you think you will fare in your first match this week, who are your picks for qualifying from your group and how far do you think your team can go?

+ Show +

wulongStroM: I can't predict our first match vs Australia but beacuse we have the best Taiwanese players in the Taiwan team we will go to top4 at least. I think for group A China and Thailand will advance and for Group B it will be Taiwan and Australia.

Navi: I think NZ should fare pretty well against PH in our first week, totally excited for our matches this season as we plan to come out guns blazing =]!

As I mentioned earlier, Team Aus is pretty scary, I'd have to at least pick them for qualifying out of Group B. I think it will be a big toss up for the 2nd nation to qualify - I have a lot of respect and trust for Team NZ and believe they will go far in the season once again. NZ Fighting!

CCMGoMaX: All members of our Chinese team are getting ready for the match. We will beat other teams one by one till we become the champion.

Timber: I hope we will beat China, it will definitely lift some pressure off everyone's shoulder and hopefully qualify with either Thailand or Singapore, it is hard to decide between those 2! Having said that, it means i think Malaysia will qualify for the next round, taking down China will already satisfy me and my expectation from this nation war. from there onwards I can only hope we will win all the way.

Chineese coach interview is pretty funny : "We will crush you all !". Definitly straightforward .

That's going to be great !
