THE LGT's LUCKY 7 series sees us talking to Team England's prodigy - Nassim Fouchane - about his take on the TOP 7 armies going into the event. As not even a week has passed since the latest Balance Dataslate it will be interesting to hear a Pro Player's opinion on these. Nassim will be playing both in the main event and the LGT Invitational and perhaps he might give us a hint as to what faction he will be taking to the event...

What you are about to listen is probably the first ever interview in English with Skark.

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 s...

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.
