Next time nani.


Yeah, I think he chose to cheese bec Nani likes to take really risky early game and that his wrist is not yet fully hate. So Don't hate Mvp, he just did what he has to do in order to win.

MVP's interview is out confirming he went early aggression to counter Nani's standard risky/greedy heavy openings. It's not a super big deal really, it just means Nani needs to get a little less predictable so that players can't count on him opening a certain way. There is enough time between now and next season for him to vary up his openings and playstyle so that his opponents can't just blindly assume he will be doing a certain thing.

I look forward to seeing Nani kickass in season 3 , hopefully with a thirst for vengeance and some surprises up his sleeves. ^-^

Actually nani plays a lot of 3 gate pressure style expands in PvT.

Nani has done incredibly well. No shame in losing to MVP, even if it'll always feel like shit no matter the circumstances. Nani is on the right track and it's far from over. :D

Naniwa never should have cut his hair after his GSL winning stroke. He is like Samson .
But beeing serious: He did an awesom jop in GSL so far - he can be proud! (and his hair will grow back soon )

where did you learn this?
thank you for the info too btw

Now we need to know where SaSe got his name! Surely it isn't "Self-Adressed Stamped Envelope"!
It's all about the journey, not the outcome.

He's stated previously that this is the origin of his nick. As for SaSe, that started as the name for one of his early wc3 ladder accounts, but according to him it doesn't have any particular meaning.

A bit sad to see such a short series, I was looking forward to longer games. Mvp played pretty well, but I think Naniwa could have held off the last cheese with slightly better decision making. You can tell his builds are really solid and his unit control is great, but he seems to be prone to simple mistakes when under a lot of pressure.

Anyway, well fought Nani, and good luck next season.

Oh my how my heart bled for Nani today. Was really hoping and thinking he would come out on top. It is still a pretty damn amazing achievement to get this far in GSL. Not to take anything away from other foreigners who have been doing well in GSL, but the competition just keeps getting harder and harder.

Really hope todays loss won't demotivate Nani in any way, and I don't think it will. He trained hard, he prepared so incredible well and he fought his best. Hope he is proud of his own dedication and I am absolutely certain he will reach the top in the near future. I have said it before and I'll say it again. Nani WILL be the first foreigner to win a GSL!
