Seven questions to the team organizer of n!faculty's WarCraft 3 section. Jacob "Genie" Holm is fed up with the fact that top teams get invited without having to qualify.




1n!faculty is taking part in the NGL-TWO qualifier, but how realistic is it for your team to reach the league?
- Well, if we look at last seasons qualifier, good. Last season we had to face a lot of good teams, and we knew some of them were a lot better than us. With the latest recruitments to our team we feel like we have a great chance on making it!

2sHedU, Gh0zt and Knight are your three latest recruits. Looking at your whole roster, which players would you say are your key players?
- We have a lot of potentially good players, unfortunately some of them are not practicing as much as they should. Knight, Gh0zt, Dolorian are the once we are most confident with, however anyone can be as good as they are, but doesn't have the time or motivation right now. Fasturtle, Kiske, CraftY, Kain, AriS and the rest would be right there too, but not right now.

3What about the perhaps most known player in your roster - SjoW. We haven't seen him in action for a very long time - why is he still in n!?
- Everyone in the team know that if SjoW is practicing and has the motivation to become what he has been before, he can - in a heartbeat. We still don't want to give up the hope on that one day he might join us and play a 100% for us. However, as far as we know he doesn't have those plans for the moment at least

4Which team in the qualifier are you most afraid of?
- Me personally, Butterfly Gaming and Team Delta, but they are both still beatable

“ It's a big shame that teams like that can go straight in to the season...
- Jacob "Genie" Holm5Last qualifier you lost to Pod, and then European Fight Club. The French team EFC is in this qualifier as well, but Pod has been disbanded. Do you hope to play them again and set a score?
- Yeah well, for sure. In my opinion EFC is a little weaker now without their star hG, and we are a lot stronger with Knight, Gh0zt, AriS and sHedU who joined after the last time.

6What do you think of the fact that Beijing Esports Team and wisdom Nerve victory will be automatically qualified?
- I think I share a lot of peoples opinion on this. I think it's a big shame that teams like that can go straight in to the season just because of the fact that they are considered good. Even though the players are good the teams still can have problems in a European league. World Elite left the league because of this, and what if some of those teams also realize this? Not want to waste their time playing the qualifier is ridiculous, everyone should be treated the same.

7If you would be granted one wish right now, what would you wish for?
- I wish we would play in NGL.
