Team Norway played Team USA B (?) in a nation war yesterday. The Norwegians proved to be the stronger team, and won the game with 3-2. The trio StinGeR, Eriador and Erling won their matches.
This was the first nation war for Team Norway for a very long time. In this big pause, they've changed managers. Instead of Drizzt, the team is now run by two managers - SoL.Norts and PoG)Missile. The manager switch showed instantly. With the old manager, they didn't play a single nation war, but with the new duo they set up a match really fast.
Eriador not surprised
One of the most known profiles in Norwegian gaming is Eriador[pG], considered the most important player in Team Norway. SG.com took a chat with him after the game, and asked what he thought of the war. "It feels good. Not really surprising or anything though." he says, commenting the win. This team is called USA B, but what says it's a B team when there's no A team? "This team lacks Rekrul, FroZ, Assem and Day, but otherwise the players present are all among the better players there."

Randominator had the match just where he wanted
In the war, Eriador[pG] faced rS.Wisdom[9], a player he sees as a great guy and one he knows well. "I was fairly confident about winning." he comments, and says that he frankly is the better player. The second game was played on Gorky Island, where Eriador random-spawned Zerg, as Wisdom played Terran as usual. "I was 95% certain I won that once I saw the race I got, and win I did."
