I think it was a fair comment about TLO. TLO is evolving more and more into a caster. Just try to remember how many tournaments he has casted lately. And i think it is a pretty good transition for him. His carpal tunnel problem is starting to become chronic, and you shouldn't risk your wrist for anything, not even SC2.

He already stated, that he wants to back off casting and concentrate on his gaming career...

The TLO diss was unwarranted IMO :/ . There is no need to question a players commitment and dedication to the game unless you know him personally (and going by personal history, TLO and Naniwa are not exactly the best of friends).

They lived together...



I would like to see the source, cause I pretty well remember him saying that TLO doesnt like him and so he isnt staying at the Swedish practise house.Link to the source. I maybe completely wrong though, and they may have patched things later on.

Even so, openly saying that someone is just riding their fame seems kinda iffy to me. Not gonna post much on this same topic anymore. Cheers.

Listen to the TL attack with him again. He was there at the time I think.

Naniwa has the mindset needed to be in Korea. Good luck to him!

This, every foreigner should understand stopping Koreans from joining foreigner's tourneys won't help at all.

Dedication is important.. especially for foreigners. Much respect to Jinro and Huk for staying and practicing so long. Let's hope Naniwa can do the same.

Pretty amazing how this guy has changed; from one of the least motivated sloppy progamers hardly even showing up for his matches and getting kicked off several teams, to a player that will practice harder than practically every other foreigner and will beat himself up to no end for losing a series or dropping out of a tournament. I think/hope he'll achieve his goal (winning a GSL) eventually.

Mad respect for Naniwa, he has gone from the bad boy of e-sports to an example of determination and super hardworking gamer and one of the best there is as well.

Naniwa actually got a very very good point about if you want to be the best, you need to go to Korea. I can imagine after one year in Korea, even w/o any GSL win. Naniwa can just come back to EU and rape everyone else. (Huk is a very good example of this, the only major tourney winner recently that not a Korean)

I can already seeing him improve alot for the next 2 months and start winning EU/NA tourney if he has a chance to go there.

Best of luck Naniwa, I didn't like you in the past, but I am a full supporter of you now. Naniwa go go go!!!!

God damn, he better win his match against Check! Check's a shitload better than anyone will give him credit for. He was a war3 progamer since the very early days of war3 and can put in a pretty astonishing number of practice games, he just evolves his strats slowly. Very solid mechanical player and I doubt Naniwa will have an easy walkover with him.

the awesome thing about nani is that if he loses to check that'll just make him practice like a maniac for the next gsl, he's looking to stay in korea for a long time

This is the reason why I love Naniwa.
He is so dedicated, he is earnest about wanting to be the best. Other people like Sheth or TLO love having their fans and are content doing their best for the fans, but Naniwa isn't content with that, he WANTS to win. Naniwa Fighting!
