Pronounced , Sweden is home to DICE, innovative street fashion and an extremely vibrant electro music scene *cough* Niki and the Dove, The Knife, Fritjof and Pikanen.. It is also home to drunk moose who get stuck in our trees after what could´ve been, an awesome night out. Drunken Moose [articles.cnn.com]
It´s also home to weird lifestyle trends that come and go faster than the flu in November.
An out of the ordinary trend that hasn´t disappeared though is Sweden´s strong E-sport tradition. It Could be because we have some of the best internet infrastructures in the world and that the IT Industry evolved very early on in Sweden, propelling this little country in the north to the top charts in IT innovations and Computer Science.

Now that we have all of that covered, Sweden has a very proud Battlefield tradition. It´s not unlike Team Sweden to make it to the final stages of the tournament. Last time Sweden managed to clinch the first place was back in 2006 with the probably best Battelfield Line-up ever seen in a Nations Cup. Team Sweden 2006. [clanbase.ggl.com]

That was 6 years ago. This year, this team has a lot to prove and that is why Team Leader M4u3n has picked a solid team with some world class players.
Only question is, will they be able to represent Sweden as good as the 2006-team did back in the days? Or will they see themselves kicked out by old rivals Germany? Will Norway finally get their revenge on Sweden after Sweden allegedly adopted a wolf that sought political asylum in Sweden? Link to the Swedish news post [mobil.aftonbladet.se]

My bet is on alternative 1.

Bring it home. Drinks are on me.

Pro tip:

1st Sweden
2nd Bulgaria
3rd Italy

For us who´ve been around a long time in the BF scene, we know Dande from Tronderbataljonen and also know that he is one hell of a player. Partnered up with some of the most skilled players Norway has to offer, my gut feeling is that they will battle their way through to the Semi Finals.

Team Captain:

Dande (Tronderbataljonen)

Fly:

Phantom (BX3)
Zeddius (Tronderbataljonen)
Sterny (Tronderbataljonen)

Heli:

Losi-D (BX3)
Scenest (BX3)
Kurt_Knut (Tronderbataljonen)

Osk (Epsilon)

The tricky part



The tricky part about all of this is however that the Norwegian boys have to stand their ground against Battlefield powerhouses such as Germany, Netherlands and Spain. Only three teams will progress.

To fan the platoon, you can go here:

Team Norway [battlelog.battlefield.com]

The lineup will consist of thefollowing people:

Team Captain

Lund (VIP-Gaming)
Team Captain CO's
Boserage (VIP-Gaming)
PsycX0r (VIP-Gaming)

Tank/APC

Nicz (VIP-Gaming)
Takers (Muttley)
Mr.Yes (Ireplica)

Infantry

Balloc (VIP-Gaming)
Whapzor (VIP-Gaming)

RulleUlf (GP)
Chokie (proxy)
Gymboy (proxy)
Menix (VIP-Gaming)
Kewzon (VIP-Gaming)
Gimp (S4L)
Mysse (VIP-Gaming)

This definitely looks like a solid lineup and from is being written further down in the article, the boys are also counting on that they will land somewhere in the top 4.

Good luck Denmark!

At DICE, we will never tolerate cheaters. Life on the battlefield can be harsh, especially when you’re up against the fantastic flying duo. But it should never be a case of you losing because someone is outright cheating.

We have always taken cheating seriously. Starting today, we will further intensify our efforts to hunt down and rid Battlefield 3 of cheaters. Stats wiping and banning this disruptive minority is the only way they will understand that they are ruining the game for others. We do this for the millions of dedicated players out there who deserve a fair game, every game.


If you believe you have been the victim of outright cheating, the best way to report your concerns is to go to Battlelog, enter the profile page of the person you suspect and click the triangle in the top right corner of his name.

This will open up a window where you can describe to us at DICE what happened. Please enter as much detail as possible, describing what specifically makes you believe this player has used unfair methods, and preferably include a link to the Battle Report for the match in question.

These reports are then received by our analysts here at DICE who will do a deeper analysis of the situation and take appropriate action, including stats wiping and/or banning players who are confirmed as cheating.

Reducing the number of cheaters is an ongoing endeavor, and one that we will never stop. Thanks for your co-operation, and see you on the battlefield!
