Interview With Nicoolivera at Worlds:


Finals At Worlds:


How did it feel to compete in the world championship?

-It's the biggest tournament a Krosmaster player can play in.
The event was a special experience for me. The opportunity to play again at the next world championship is clearly fantastic.

What match have been your most memorable?

-At our Nationals there was a match I never thought I would win, except for the last round. 

You can watch it here: 



Do you think there are Krosmaster Teams without Season 1 as competitive? – Dick T

If you look at the teams who won the Nationals, you've got to say clearly yes.

Who do you see as the most underrated characters? - Josh S

-There're four figurines which I like to play but which don't stand a chance in the actual meta or deal to little damage. They're Qilby, Queen of Thieves, Theo and Ira Tayte.

Do you think that Season 3's stronger trend towards "theme" teams will start to show up in the meta or is making more independent characters a more viable way to foster competitive play? - Paul B

-I think there aren't enough figurines per theme at this time to play them as pure teams. At this time you're better off fitting them in existing teams.

How many games a day do you normally play? I.E. how much practice do you get before a big tournament? – Mike C.

-I play an average of three to four matches a day – so about an hour to relax. It's a bit more before a big tournament, but not much, because we've got something like a training camp with Team Double Critical. :)

Who is your biggest rival if you had to choose one?

-I don't have something like that but if I had to name someone I always want to win against; I would go with Dacow. Probably because I played a lot against him and it's always by a hair who wins.(To be clear: if he wins – if I win, it's always clear and well deserved!)

Do you set up the exact same every time when going first or do you wing it? – Tony C

-If you play offline, you should use the same positions if you're the second player. Online I try to improve the start positions.

What the best advice you can give to new players?

-Play the figurines you think are fun to play, not what other players use. 


With the new promo figures that came out after nationals 2015, which one do you see is the most competitive?

-I fell in love with the Shopkeeper. :) But I think, they're all 100% playable.

What is your favorite character and why?

-I think, the Queen of Thieves is brilliant. To force your opponent to watch his Kamas is a new way to play.

What are your go-to filler characters and why?

-If Luk Ylook is an option, I'll always choose him because he makes every team unpredictable. And you're never wrong with two Moe Lawrs.
I think the Queen of Thieves is brilliant. To force your opponent to watch his Kamas is a new way to play.

Do you see level greater than 6 coming into Krosmaster?

-No, because there is the three-figurines-rule and you would have less options to build a team.

What character from Dofus and Wakfu would you love to see come to Krosmaster?

-I hope to see Skeunk and Bworker from Dofus. :)
Skeunk                                 Bworker
