This Viking Cup I wanted to have a Norwegian touch on the show. I wanted to expose more plays from the Nordic land in the west. What better way to do that than having one of the Norwegian casters joining me during the cast? Rogerrus joined me during both Thursday and Friday. Check the VODs at the bottom before reading on to avoid spoilers.

With :se: Morrow being occupied at Gamescom, after showing no weakness and being 'Terran Almighty' in Viking Cup #6 and #7. This is the opportunity to make a stand and siege the throne as winner of Viking Cup #8.

With a extremly solid TvT MorroW have reached the final twice now. First showing SjoW his new and improved TvT and now in #7 he outmanoeuvred merz in the BO7 final.

As the cup started 2010-08-05 151 players took part in the first cup after the release of StarCraft 2. A big 256 bracket started out with big names like MorroW, Haypr0, SjoW, Ciara, Naniwa, Chewbro, Naama, jimpo and many others of the Nordic elite.

With the success of Viking Cup in the StarCraft 2 Beta ESL wishes to fully complete the formula with adding 200€ monthly finals to the Viking Cup concept.
