I'm 90% sure Nani wasn't trying vs Hyun, though I cannot explain why.

In both games I couldn't stop thinking about Naniwa saying he wished he had just 4 gated Nestea instead of probe rushing because then nobody would've cared.

How can you not understand why he did it? They even explained on stream.

This is way WAY different from the Nestea "incident", this is showing that Naniwa has brains and takes the competition very serious and aims to win.

He´s hiding his builds, since he knows he´ll win vs the other weaker players in the group and get to bracketplay anyways. This way he´ll have even a better chance to win .

Can´t believe people don´t understand that.

Actually the goal for him is to win the whole thing, so if he thinks he has better chance of winning it by not showing his strat in an almost winningless series it is okay for me.
When Idra forfeited all his matches at IPL 3 everyone was like :" Oh this guy is such a genius, he prefers rest and not show his strat than playing bad games because of jet lag" but when it is Naniwa ...

Somehow i feel like it has to do with him not wanting show his best play due to Code-S ro8. But that's just my feeling.

NaNiwa never plays that a sloppy (apart from his probe rush). Those games felt like masked probe rushes. He played out those games instead of making the same mistake again.

Eventually though he will need to play better if he goes further in the tournament. But i believe he feels like it's unnecessary to show his best until later because other players in ro8 will study his play.

There is no point if doing it because of GSL since there is no more Zerg but it is more for dreamhack tourney, he really wants to win an event in Sweden.

I didn't say I don't understand why, I said I cannot explain why. There's a difference T.T

Every time I say Nani is hiding builds some troll comes out and says something along the lines of "lolol you just can't admit Nani is bad - hiding builds is BS nobody does that"

I dont understand why people are hating on NaNiwa for hiding his killing blow builds in a groupstage where its 110% sure he will advance anyway. He had already beaten one opponent 2-0 without any problem, and this guy went on to beat the last guy 2-0... so he will smash face in the last game and get thru the group stage.

Now he has hidden his true potential for future games that might actually matter, perhaps he might even be able to win this tournament without showing anything too special, just to keep MVP from figuring him out before their Code S ro8 match which imho is 100 times more important.

Even professional fotball teams save their best strategies and try to save their best players untill the playoffs. Its not every game u see zlatan sweating when he play, but when he is up against a team that he knows will give him a hard time... he plays for his life.

NaNiwa going strong, next Code S champ, from what i've seen so far from nani in GSL i can say he has potential to even beat MKP.

edit: also, ofc it still matters for code S even there are no zergs left, any slight sign of good play, blink stalker micro, multitasking, weaknesses... or anything. Can be used by future code S opponents.

Well, I don't think he's vZ is very much in shape due to the lack of Zs in GSL, so it makes a whole lot of sense not showing the builds that he whipped up in 0.5 days. And he didn't proberush, so there's that. :D

Why is it brutal? I'd say Naniwa is favored vs all of them. Of course it COULD be easier but...

He just won vs Genius. Slivko shouldnt be a problem and Nerchio lost to SaSe. Ofc it could go either way, but i think Nani could go 3-0.

Hey now I totally believe he can ace the group I just think it's really not what he would have wanted and harder than some of the other groups he could have been in. Then again Nani does seem to love a challenge.

The bad games he had vs hyun makes even more sense now, he´d end up in the same group as SaSe if he won them.

Really can´t blame him for it !
