This is the kind of attitude that is needed to win big tournaments. That is why i have a LOT of respect for Nani and Huk and the same reason i lost ALL my respect for sheth even though he is probably the nicest progamer out there.

Agreed, when you look at the difference between say someone like naniwa and someone like Sheth its like night and day.

Sheth is not willing to make the sacrifices necessary to become the best , i was really excited for him when he first went to korea and won his first match. And then not only does he move back early he is given a second chance to get into the up and down matches through the wildcard tourney to take Rains spot, and he doesnt even try, he just concedes. He couldnt even handle going back there for another week and a half. In my mind he just comes off as weak willed, and he doesnt have what it takes to truley succeed.

I wish him the best of luck in liquid, but compared to huk and naniwa , sheth has been a dissapointment too me, there is no room for the lazy (mentally) in e-sports you gotta be dedicated and make sacrifices (it was only 2 weeks anyways no one was saying he had to live there forrever) but to accept a code a spot with no intention of going into code s or no intention of even trying it out seems crazy, he should have given his spot to someone who deserved it like QXC who would have been fully commited for the time he is in korea (until the end of the summer)

Nani is a winner.

I don't want to go too far offtopic but... if sheth is lazy and still posts good results and is happy with his life... meh? I'm not a "fan" but there's no need suddenly call him lazy and a slacker and such when he and ret already put in countless hours.

Naniwa really gained a fan with that interview. Didn't know too much about him before this. It's a shame that Thorzain isn't staying long though... I would have loved to see how good he'd get doing what Naniwa is planning to do.

Love Nani's approach and attitude - he is one of the few foreigners that has a chance of being top-tier.

OFC Korea is the place to we unless you want many (easy?) tournaments =)!

I wasnt saying anything about ret, i mean ret spent months in korea and decided it wasnt for him in the end, spending a week and a half doesnt really give you a great assesment + im pretty sure ret would have hung in there for an extra 2 weeks for his team if the situations were reversed (i have no doubt in my mind actually)

I would be perfecty happy for sheth as well if he can be lazy and still post results, im just not a fan anymore. Like even comparing him to some of his former teammates like qxc or tgun who have gone above and beyond and are choosing to continue to stay in korea they are making sacrifices for the sake of improving themselves in their chose proffesion and i respect that.

It just pisses me off that sheth couldnt even go back for 2 weeks to support his team. That pretty much lead to him being on liquid though so best of luck to him on his new team i guess!.

Naniwa is a total fucking baller and I wish him the best. He definitely has the potential to be the best, but its a long road ahead that takes him through the likes of MC, MVP, and of course, the final boss of the world: Nestea. Thats not even including the soon to be SC2 pros from Broodwar who will likely begin dominating sooner than we think.

If anyone will be able to best the koreans it's certainly Naniwa. Such an amazing attitude.

And it wasn't that long ago that everyone was shitting on him. This is one of the most remarkable 180s I've ever seen from anyone in pro-gaming. His attitude, passion, and pure skill made him one of my favorite players a while back, and this doesn't look to ever change for me. I'll be up late for every single match he's in.

He will make it, possibly the most determined SC2 player out there. Good luck NaNiwa.

Comparing Naniwa and Sheth....oh well, we only need 1 foreign GSL champion.

Naniwa is one of the VERY few foreigners that have the right mindset to make it far in sc2, even on Korean grounds.
