Naniwa, it is sometimes tricky to be a fan of yours. For 2013 it would be great If you could reduce the amount of brackets that have your name in it and an opponent that have a big "W" in front of it.

You stick around hope to see a good game, you start to get excited and then....no show.

It is disappointing!!

Great interview. Something I find important, alhtough a bit sad is for example at 4.20 where Nani talks about losing
to Life. That he's chokes a lot and that he lost focus. Then he says that he "knows it's just excuses". That is what i find to be the sad part, because I've read in an article or two that people say that Nani always has "excuses" when he loses, and it's sad that maybe he thinks so too now.

This is what i believe:As Naniwa said himself he haven't gotten any coaching helping him with his nerves, he chokes. It's great that he recognizes that weakness and I'd say that it'd be harder to admit the psychological part - if you're nervous, choking or arrogant/underestimating your opponent - than just say that "the other guy played better".

That being said I think Naniwa can make big progress when he starts working on what i believe is his biggest weakness (apart from the fact that he's teamless atm and doesnt get that much help with gaming house and so on) that is his mindet. Naniwa has amazing strategies and mechanics and works/practices harder than (almost?) everyone else.

That's also why I please ask haters and whiners to keep out off here, I know there's no official rules about fan-clubs but I like to believe that the fanculbs is a place were the pros can go for support in bad times and cheers in good times. I don't like all players but I've been very firm on not going into their fanclubs complaining; it's supposed to be like a sanctuary for them, please use some common sense and respect this.

To sum up, connecting to what i said about practise. I think once Naniwa get's his mind set, and maybe something of a fresh start when hots kicks in, I know that he has the determinatiom, mechanics and intelligence to make great strategies and execute them flawlessly. I think Naniwa and his fans are in for good times 2013.

Relax Naniwa, gl & hf we know that you'll be better and better, and I think it's great, even though it's painful,
that you recognize a weakness - and the bigger weakness the great gain when you fix it

I completely agree, NaNi's got the dedication to be the best of the best. But I guess it's hard to motivate yourself when your almost all alone in a country far away from home where they doesn't speak his language.

I hope 2013 / HOTS will change this for the better for NaNiwa. As we all know he's got the skills to do it.

I'm probably getting a pretty huge raise in 2013. Maybe when I get the cash in, and it's sufficient for me and my girlfriend I just might want to sponsor NaNiwa. Or atleast try to help out in the way I can. this is just an idea I've want to think more seriously about. But If more people got together and supported NaNiwa he might just get the motivation he needs to continue with this lifestyle.

Also, props for the well articulated post showBanquo. Want more dedicated fans as yourself in this fanclub <3
