Two separate Servants under a single Master.
I already had low expectations given the writer and illustrator but it being revealed to be yet another Grail War just lowered them further. The awful designs don't help (Lodbrok's is the better one even if its still not great). Fingers crossed there's at least some neat Magecraft in it.

Might be fun to see a Sub-Category Grail War. Also learning more about the weirdness between Scandinavian and Germanic myth sounds really fun.
I like the idea of the Doubles Sub-Grail War. In theory, it should strike a neat balance between normal Fate‘s Master-Servant relationships and FGO’s relationships between allied Servants. The preview makes it looks like it will neglect the former in favor of the latter, but it very much has the potential to do both.
I'm just waiting for the bullshit answer on how a mage can support two servants in a sub-species Grail War.
Also, I'm just hoping for an appearance of Gunnhild. We need something, after LB 2 denied us that chance.
A cursed match-up would be Sigmund and Signy. Imagine how Aslaug would react to her grandparents.
As for the concept, I honestly think it's quite nice. It would be a better way to explore complex relationships between servants without it being one-off dialogue in a event. Plus, any additional Scandinavian/Germanic content is a win in my books.
Unless Remina is a monster of a mage, presumably the servants in this war will be weakened by two of them needing to share one Master. Well, servants are normally weaker in Subcategory wars anyway since they have cheap faulty grails.
She's a former member of the Yggmillenia could have some spare hommonculi batteries.
It's a literal fishnet lol

Aslaug and Ragnar are clearly there, any guesses for the others?

The tiny man might be the dwarf, Andvari. But other than that I couldn't really hazard a guess since the images are far too blurry.

Just run through the Vikings TV show. You know how this shit gets made.
Bottom right vaguely looks like... A King from the dark ages? Hard to narrow it down any further though.
I'm wondering if the other teams will have a similar general dynamic to Aslaug and Ragnar (one Norse mythology character + one historical character from roughly 9th century AD).
I dont know shit about northern europeans but if there's any myths about twins, those two red haired characters wearing similar clothes might be just that.

Ur a hack, Sakurai.
At least Miwa did no wrong. These're cool designs, as always. Would roll for.
My Fanfics. Read 'em. Or not.McJon01: We all know that the real reason Archer would lose to Rider is because the events of his own Holy Grail War left him with a particular weakness toward "older sister" types.
She's also wielding a bow in the other illustration
