I must criticize Scandinavia team little bit. I understand if Norway, Denmark and maybe Iceland play together. Because their Native communities are pretty small.
But Sweden could easily make their own team. There are also some swedish Native players who weren't in team and sometimes there are plenty of swedes in Battlegrounds TeamSpeak.
For me it feels like they don't really try to recruit new players to their team. Every year there are same active competitive players and not any new faces. It's easy to get Scandinavia team, but it doesn't develop those countries' competitive Native community. If I remember right Oliveran said in H&S show something like this
"It's nice to have a team which has only good players".
In my opinion this is like Scandinavia All Stars team, not real a Nations Cup team.
If SotaMursu (and me) wouldn't had done big recruitment and training work to get new finnish players inside Native competitive scene, there wouldn't be team Finland in every year, or then it would be very small. In 2011 and 2012 we recruited new players to our team and trained them many hours. After that Sota continued working with them and we played one WNL-season with FIN-team. Many of these players hadn't played more than few clan matches before that. SotaMursu has done very good job for finnish community and you should learn from his example.
I don't want to be rude or anything, but I just want to see more teams in future. And real nation teams. New players aren't just walking to your team and getting good competitive players in one night. You must recruit people and spend time with them!
