I would guess technically Iden would have a better conversation piece if Norway DIDN'T MTR qualify than if they did. If they did they almost certainly can't pick him with Thorn's and Stornes MTR abilities (deciding among 1 of them; Thorn likely 99% guranteed). If they don't qualify he could atleast bring up, no one can medal out of Thorns-Stornes-Iden at this point, so pick the "Norwegian Method" fan favorite to go with Blu.

Norway men are getting 2 men slots regardless of MTR.

(But no, his chances pretty much were done basically all of last year when he struggled- yes he had personal struggles).
