Konna: We have higher star quality than Ukraine

For the upcoming match, we caught up with one of Finland's star players Konna. He believes Finland has a good shot.
- The maps tonight are surely set to be on our side, says Konna to GosuGamers.

Team Finland entered the ENC tournament unranked, and have made their way this far - playing Ukraine in the relegation round. Did you and your team mates expect to come this far?
- After the qualification to ENC we were aiming high from the beginning and expected this. Although our bad start in the beginning of the season held our expectations back for a bit but with the map score rules we made it to the playoffs and achieved what we have been looking for.

You have a set of interesting and promising players in Team Finland, such as elfittaja, Satiini and yourself. How do you rate your chances against Ukraine?
- Hmm.. The maps tonight are surely set to be on our side, but anything can happen and we shouldn't underestimate Ukraine. Having such a good players like Satiini and Elfittaja aboard is surely helping us and hopefully the lineups go well and expect a good match where we come out on top at the end.

“ I trust we have higher star quality than Ukraine's lineup.
- Joona "Konna" Parikka

What about Ukraine's players? HoT and FiX should be considered their top players. Does your team have higher star quality than them?
- I consider HoT only as a favorite on paper against our players on any matchup, FiX and Tresh are still not players that should be taken lightly, but hey so ain't anybody in Finnish lineup! So yes I trust we have higher star quality than Ukraine's lineup.

Against Netherlands you lost to Grubby - their absolute star player. Playing Ukraine, who would you rather not face?
- Don't really care who I will face, playing against world best players is always nice, but I need to pick a player, its definitely HoT.

If there was to be a Finland Cup right now - who would win it?
- Well there is actually gonna be an Finnish WCG Qualifier in 23 days. Satiini probably, the usual.

In one hour, the match will start!
