natu 1on1 2/2: "lot of potential lost [due to army]"

ImageIn part 2 of the 1on1 interview with natu the Finnish legend talks about the effect of the army on Finnish CS, what keeps him going and the 4 standout Finnish players in his eyes.

The SK Gaming 1on1 feature rolls on with part two of FI Joona 'natu' Leppänen's interview. natu has placed top 4 at CPL, WCG, WSVG, NGL-One, GameGune and ASUS events during his career.

What kept natu going in CS after so long? What are natu's thoughts on his entire team trying to comeback after inactivity? How has the enforced military service in Finland affected the country's success in CS over the decade? Who does natu pick as his four Finnish players who stand out from the rest? Do FI ruuit or FI contE make the list? Was losing FI lurppis to US EG costly for the Finnish scene?

If CS had not existed is there a sport or hobby natu would have been as dedicated to instead? Is natu an esports "lifer"? How did natu's year off help his perspective on his career? Does seeing the great players winning the major titles over the years make natu feel as though he has to accomplish a huge victory like that before his career ends?

(note: due to a camera error the audio cuts out during my questions every now and then, but natu's audio is fine)
