Hi, Stephan! You are the reigning Danish Champion in Masters Division. How did you manage to win Nationals last year?
I played Plasma. I didn't prepare as much as I should, I think I only play tested for two or three days. I had a lot of luck on the day and of course you need that if you are going to win the championship.

As a National Champion you qualified for Worlds 2013 in Vancouver. Did you participate and how did you perform there?
Of course did I play Worlds. I'm not sure but I think my record was 5-3 and I was number 65 in the end.

For sure you want to defend the title this year. How did you prepare for Nationals this year?
It could be nice to defend the title but I don't think I will make it again. I haven't prepared myself enough to win the nationals again.

Thank you for the interview and good luck for Nationals!
