[ENGLISH VERSION] Veni, Vidi, Vici! Poland at the WTC 2023 - Skark the GOAT and his IG
What you are about to listen is probably the first ever interview in English with Skark. However, you will not hear Skark speak English – what you will hear is a translation that was done by me based on the original interview which we did in Polish.
In the interview we cover a lot: Skark's broken camper on the way to the WTC, his preparations for the event and his army choice. We discuss what his role on the team was and how he paired. We also discuss his games one by one and finally we answer some viewer questions.
This episode was a challenge on many levels so we hope you find it fun and informative.

At Contact Lost we want to serve as an intermediary between the Polish community and the rest of the world. This time we felt it was extremely important to interview the absolute GOAT of 40k - Skark - however due to the language barrier (his English is fine at the table, but not proficient enough for a fully-fledged 2h-long interview) we recorded this one in Polish and will provide an English voiceover for our listeners abroad. We are releasing this Polish version to share with the Polish community and the English version will follow soon, as soon as we transcribe it and re-record it in English for your listening pleasure.

*EXPLICIT* WTC Crème de la Crème - Pumba from Team Poland goes ballistic about 10th feat. Nathan Henning
Team Poland's Pumba is out guest this time to talk about the Polish eventful ETC/WTC history and the Polish attitude towards the event. But more importantly he gets to decide who wins the fight: an American goose vs a European goose... and it would not be an episode with Poland in its theme if there was no complaining involved so we asked Pumba about his (and his team's) feelings towards 10th edition and boy does he go crescendo... Perhaps listen with your headphones on ;) we warned ya...

WTC Crème de la Crème - CanHammer Strikes! 'Is 10th good for Team Play?' with Chris Hanes and Francois Lalonde
WTC Crème de la Crème takes us to Canada - home to Chris Hanes, otherwise known as CanHammerChris, and to the most notable player - Francois Lalonde. Together we talk about Team Canada's history, formation and army selection philosophy. We also used this opportunity to get some hot takes about the 10th edition from our guests and to get their opinion on whether 10th will be problematic or rather smooth sailing for team captains at the WTC. Last but not least we asked how 40k celebrities tackle other 40k celebrities in a shark tank event like this one.
