This is the most ridiculous excuse I've ever read.
You do understand that there HAS to be some reason why a back-to-back Code S RO8 player performed so poorly, especially in the matchups that he's normally pretty good at. Nobody starts playing badly for no reason and nobody becomes bad overnight.
Whether you choose to look at those reasons (or assumed reasons) as excuses or not is your prerogative.
Losing twice to players you're way better than (JonnyRecco and Aures) is easier than you think. TaeJa dropped 2 games to Bischu, on another day that could have been a Bischu 2-0 TaeJa upset. Bomber dropped maps to Delfi and Bly, and MVP dropped a map to Targa, if they can drop 1 map they could have dropped 2 on another day. Naniwa was probably on tilt really badly because of the pressure of finding a new team burdening him.
JRecco also destroyed Major 3-0, you're seeing a lot of new Zergs beating players they are considered better than. It remains to be seen whether they're taking advantage of the current strength of Zerg, or if they'll stick around and be a force. I know Naniwa himself sees SortOf as a genuinely good player out of this 'new wave'

Yeah, it wasn't that he lost but it was the manner of his losses that were mystifying. I mean he played worse than I've ever seen him, even when he was just laddering it up.
Also, on the whole JYP controversy, it's not as to whether it affected Nani or not, it was just pretty weird behaviour from JYP. Regardless of whether it tilted Nani or not, it's not particularly edifying. Even Sase, who's supposedly pretty close to Nani waited until after his games to pop into his booth at GSL. Nani gets a bad rep and has so many people just waiting to laugh at him whenever he loses, quite distasteful really.
I'm sorry but your really stretching.... GSL is a completely different animal with the prep time. Just because he got back to back round of 8's doesn't make him the best foreigner or even close, In fact he's not in my top 5. In foreign tournaments where mechanics and game time decisions are paramount, players like him don't do well. That fact is maybe Naniwa isn't a top foreign Protoss but rather just a talented RTS player who is able to execute pre-ordained builds well when he has time to practice. Also, IEM computers are out in the open so JYP may have thought he was just in a practice game....

I'm not stretching, I wasn't even talking about him in the context of 'best foreigner', unless that's a response to Talin
He's got the mechanics when he's playing well, MLG Providence being a good example. Plus it doesn't matter what your pre-planned build for GSL, you still have to have good mechanics to back it up at that level
Ah fuck, Was on work in the northern part of my country for a few days with my USB stick. Lost it without any valuable stuff on. Until I get home and realize all my illustrator work with this fanclub was on it
Unless I find it my bag somewhere it's lost forever Was going for a Anime theme since he likes Anime (Thanks Waterflow)
So do any of you guys have some experience then me with adobe programs? Who want to help a busy man out?
I'll start over but since I'm pretty lame at Adobe it may take awhile. An experienced dude might use a couple of hours where I'd use a day. I will update the Fanclub any way. But If I start over it may take awhile. Thanks in advance!

This could not be more wrong. GSL is precisely the highest level of play because of the elite quality of the players and the prep time given to each competitor. However, that prep time does not matter a damn if your mechanics are not good enough to execute plans and builds against a certain opponent. The same goes for decision making, and being able to adapt your plans and your builds in response to your opponent (this is especially the case in long box series). It's the most rigorous test of your ability as a SC2 (RTS) player, and, also, of course, of the game itself - as a reasonably balanced game will allow for the success of good plans and the correct execution of good plans and builds with player quality determining the win.
The one thing you can say about Naniwa is that he may be a little inflexible in his approach to the game - something, IIRC, which he himself has said before. While Naniwa may or may not be top foreigner, I find it hard to believe how he could not be at least top 5.

Do you worship Naniwa?
Considering about half of your posts are about Naniwa, you're probably more obsessed about him than I am.

So do you worship him yes or no.
User was warned for this post
Fuck off then out of a fanclub made for people who enjoy his play. Not complicated.
NaNiwa I'm confident that you will be able to find a good fit for a team and quickly dispell any misconceptions of a slump in next season's code S with some effort ^^

That was a great interview, which is so rare in esports where most everything seems to be about useless gossiping or about plugging companies or empty trolling. I'm so glad to hear that Johan has such a mature view of his games and himself. He is such a great player and character. < 3
I wish there were some spell we could cast on fanclubs that would enforce the point of fanclubs Sometimes I don't even feel like posting here anymore esp after controversial events because it feels like if I were Naniwa I won't even bother coming here to see the shitstorm.
That said I guess I do sympathize with that one guy who said idra's fanclub is much worse, haha.
Naniwa fighting! Your fans are a long shot away from giving up on you!
