Yeah, the dude that beat DRG, and Nestea and MVP in the same day, and then Nestea again, and then Nestea and leenock is just a complete nobody that deserves nothing. Who is this bronze naniwa? | ||

Code S is looking really scary. Can't wait to see HerO in action! | ||

When was the last time there was the best acknowledged foreigner in the GSL not just some foreigners like idra,sen,morrow,huk to fill the spots? If Stephano was up there with Naniwa we would have the best representation ever of the foreign scene. Stop with the hating and root for the best there is at this moment. People hang on some loses and the freaking probe rush like he murdered their families. The best foreigners have been in GSL loads of times. They always lose. | ||

On a good day he can beat anyone (which he has already proved and no other foreigner have) while sometimes he loose to a little bit worse players. Stephano on the other hand feels VERY solid, he cant loose to an inferior player. | ||

Who is this bronze naniwa? Still talking about things that happened six months ago...i guess he should get a permanent code s seed. After his 0-4 result at blizzard cup, he showed that he ain't ready to play in code S yet. | ||

Naniwa is a good player, but he's not Code S level and doesn't deserve a free seed based on finishing 8th. | ||

To be fair lots of people in code S would probably go 0-4 there aswell, so that aint really an indication. | ||

He was only stopped by the best Zerg player in the WORLD from taking home the MLG Winter Arena champion title. Naniwa has been showing consistent results in the foreign tournaments as of late and he had the Code S spot in the season 1 as well but due to the 7 probe rush against Nestea, GomTV producers decided to exclude him due to very bad manners. It's time for Naniwa to redeem himself. I'm not saying he's gonna win the whole thing but he'll put a good show nonetheless. | ||

And all his games vs nestea have been 2 base all ins. | ||

That was a fragile format. Stacked, but the koreans just killed themselves in the bracket. So instead of event wins that can get to you with luck (I keep Huk in the same wagon) i look to actual wins over players. And people say that his wins are over 6 months old but they keep bringing up the 10% w/l in GSL. Lame double standards. leenock is not a GSL champion, he has nnot won GSL. And all his games vs nestea have been 2 base all ins. So leenock is no good? And MC is bad cause he does 2 bad allins? Saying on a bad tone that protoss goes for 2 base allins is like a protoss would say in a bad way a zerg goes 3 hatch. | ||

He was also crushed 2-0 by MarineKing so he wasn't winning MLG regardless of the DRG result. | ||

Yeah i saw Blizzard cup and no matter how close those games were, he still lost...that's the difference between koreans and foreigners, they sure know how to win even if the games are close. Can't believe how they chose Naniwa over Huk(Stephano sure would've deserved the seed, but he doesn't want to go to Korea so...) | ||

It takes a truly great player to win enough in a row to actually win an MLG. Especially Naniwa who lets be honest 2 base all in's 80% of his PvZ and PvT's, you're going to win games playing like that. It's much more impressive to show the consistancy to win enough games to take home a 1st place than it is to beat a good player once. | ||
