NDML 4th season is slowly coming to its end and we arrived to the most awaited event: the Playoffs finals which will oppose Poland (winner-bracket winner) to Sweden (loser-bracket winner).
Here is a small preview of the game and a review of their achievements in this season
 Sweden:
The title owner, they had a very smooth way to the playoff as everyone expected it until they met their best friends/rivals/enemies Finland in the semi-final of the Winner-Bracket, but now tell me: WHO ever thought Sweden would lose to Finland after winning two NDML finals over them? Whatever, the favourite of this league got pushed to the Loser-Bracket where they once more met Finland to finally win and get a place in big final.
Now the hardest task remains: Sweden, which will represent the first big side of the Q2 scene, Scandinavia, will have to win 2 best of 5 maps against the other big east side of the scene: Poland.
Strong points: skills to the max, pretty good connexions, fast teamplay (using voice com), good on all maps, experience (they proved they have nerves).
Weak points: they lack their best player and also most experimented: purri, few other big names are missing too. Not so used to play with high pings.
Expected line-ups: frza, NaSSaL, Odium, Bubkez, Sorax
Expected map choice: q2dm1, q2dm3
 Poland:
The dark horse, the underdog, the challenger
Poland is the new emerging part of the Q2 scene; they were pretty unknown one year ago and now they are everywhere
Will they be on the first step of the podium? They will have to face the powerhouse of this league, Sweden, although they have an advantage, its far to be an easy thing.
Strong points: strong team spirit, good on all maps, one coach to rule them all: Scooby (proved he can gather and motivate his team very well in hard situations), they can play on higher pings as well.
Weak points: might lack of experience in high pressure situations, more defensive style of play (we have to see how it will work against Swedens very aggressive style), less good and stable connexions.
Expected line-ups: Scooby, Warrior, Assasin, mkuh, Morph-X
Expected map choice: dm2,dm6
Captains quick interview:
I interviewed both captains on IRC about this game, notice the totally different style of answers :)
Stuff.se
<Gravgon> first of all can you tell me what do you think about this season of NDML and results Sweden did in it ?
<[eA]Stuff> I believe this thing with NDML has been working really well. No WO's and there has been no problems with the bookings nor has there been any troubble finding the admins. So in other words, everything has worked out fine. We are in the final so there are no reasons not to be pleased, right now that is =)
<Gravgon> what do you think your chances are against Poland, what are your strong points and weak points to play against them ?
<Gravgon> well do you think poland is "lett" or not ? :>
<[eA]Stuff> I think it will be a really tough game due to the fact that we have to win 2 best-of-5 games. It wont be easy! Poland has a great team! Our strongest point is probably the aim. The weakest point right now might be that Odium has such problems with the Internet, he pings 100 even on Swedish servers and that might destroy some bit for our lot since he is a vital member.
<Gravgon> We could read a bit everywhere "sweden misses purri to win" or "sweden misses wzrd" etc. Indeed, a couple of "star" players didn't play this season, do you think Sweden would have won easily all games with them playing?
<[eA]Stuff> Yeah, I've got alot of questions regarding that, of course. It's a shame not to be able to play with them, but we have got ourselves other really good players, such as Nassal and frza, so it evens out =). I find it hard to believe that we'd win a game easier with the lot that aint with us no more though. As I said; they are really good but we've got really good replacments as well... =)
<Gravgon> Do you want to add something ?
<[eA]Stuff> I just want to thank all the admins that has helped with the cup so far. Oh, and good luck Poland!
<Gravgon> Thanks for your time stuff and GL HF in the final
<[eA]Stuff> thnx!

Conclusion:
Poland looks pretty confident in the outcome of this match, maybe too much?
Sweden's captain is more reserved but we all know if there is one team who can manage to win 2 best of 5 against Poland, that's well Sweden.
All in all this BIG match should be very intense and nice to watch. Stay tuned!
