Marcus "ThorZaIN" Eklöf made sure Raptor-Gaming could gain their second win in a row in the NGL-ONE.
When defeating Kevin "Rotterdam" van der Kooi, Nikolaus "SonkiE" Cassidy and Hjalmar "DowaQ" Högberg, the Swedish starlet saw his team grab the fifth (5th) place in the ongoing league.
- My goal was an all-kill, but I didn't think DowaQ would play because of his missing computer, so I got a bit scared when I saw him in the Garena channel, says ThorZaIN.
- I played a lot of games against Orc on Secret Valley before the clanwar because I suspected RotterdaM to start - so I was well prepared, says ThorZaIN to GosuGamers and adds that he thinks the map is one of the most balanced in the Human versus Orc matchup.
- I was able to delay his tier 2 buildings a while and reach level 3 on my Archmage relatively fast, and he had not enough spirit walkers to dispell my summons, explains ThorZaIN on why he won the first game.
The Human mirror match against SonkiE on Turtle Rock was a match the young Swede felt secure in.
- I feel very safe in Human mirror, I usually don't have any special gameplan in mirror, I mostly try to adapt after what my opponent does. More than in other matches, reveals ThorZaIN.
You then completed your all-kill by defeating DowaQ. How does it feel playing against Hjalmar, a player you know so well?
- It's always a bit special to face other Swedes, like DowaQ, in clanwars. Last time we played was last week's DreamHack playoffs, where his computer sadly got stolen which resulted in him being forced to play yesterday's match at Endarspire [Swedish team captain]. The game might have ended differently if he had played on his own computer - who knows, says a humble ThorZaIN to GosuGamers.
ThorZaIN also said that he noticed his friend DowaQ missed a lot of coils on creeps and stuff that might have been spot on should he had played on his own computer.

The current table gives us an online final with Mousesports, GaB, World Elite and nGize. But with two playdays left, a lot can happen.
- With two playdays left against teams we should be able to 3-0 if we're on top, it is not impossible for us to reach Top 4 and thereby reach the playoffs - and we'll give our all to try and get up there, says ThorZaIN.
