Great to see Nani doing what he thinks is best for himself. Hope he can come out of training and show good games at the next tourney he attends!

Agree 100% with the decision to focus on practice right now. It's obvious (at least if you read his blog) that he considered things well before deciding, and I'm sure he went with what felt best for him in the long run. I'd rather see a happy Nani in the long run anyway and when he DOES enter a tournament it will go as it goes. No pressure since it's just a fricking game and I'll just be glad to see him play it like the artist he is. So there.

Not as suspect as random people in his fan club pretending to know better.

There's nothing wrong with being upset and disappointed that he wont be at a tournament, but it's a bit weird when people complain as if they have some kind of authority over what Naniwa does and knows what he should do better than him

They should propose both Swedish and English language, so everyone can read, and they will also get more views and visit on their website. You should proposed that to them NaNiwa .

Did a rough, quick translation of his latest blog post. I tried to stay true to his style of writing, so there are plenty of errors in the text (a few of them mine, no doubt). There are plenty of periods I'm pretty sure were supposed to be commas, but it should be readable, anyway.

Swedish original:

+ Show Spoiler +

Sitter o skriver lite blogg nu medans jag förlorar lite ladder games alla har kommit "Hem" nu från shanghai till pracc huset igen! minns inte om jag berättade om gymmandet i förrgående blogg. förmodligen. iallafall varit duktig med att hålla igång det märker att jag alltid blir gladare generellt om jag håller igång med fysisk träning varje dag efter jag spelat så många timmar. tror verkligen det hjälper!

Som vanligt har jag tänkt o ta lite frågor från förrgående inlägg. ska försöka förklara hur jag tänker så bra det går men kanske inte alla som kan relatera till mina svar. men men

tar en intressant fråga för jag bara hitta en. ni får kommentera mer så jag vet vad ni vill ha !

Bra läsning! Du fattar ju bloggandet utan problem Min fråga är -> som många vet och har sagt så är du förmodligen den foreignern som förstår sig på spelet bäst. På din topnivå kan du slå precis vilken spelare i världen som helst. Däremot har du pratat lite om att du mot sämre spelare kan sjunka i prestation och ibland förlora mot spelare som du egentligen är bättre än och "borde" slå (nu kan man ju ha en dålig dag eller motsvarande, men generellt). Gör du någonting för att påverka den mentala sidan av spelet, exempelvis idrottspsykologi?

Svar : Har haft många tankar under mina dåliga turneringar ( samt där jag spelar bra men ändå inte allra bästa ) att nån gång försöka ta nästa steg som isåfall hade varit att inte ta allting på egna axlar. utan just som du säger. prata med någon om det som kan hjälpa mig. Kollade upp en del personer som jag tänkte kontakta före MLG anaheim, Men jag tror jag har börjat förstå hur jag ska tänka mer nu.

det är alltid svårt o veta om man har rätt mentalitet eller fel då jag aldrig haft någon mentor inom e-sport. jag önskar ibland att jag hadde någon som kunde vägleda mig när jag kände mig vilsen. men jag vet inga andra topp spelare från sverige som fortfarande spelar som hadde varit villiga till att hjälpa mig det är väldigt svårt för mig att acceptera hjälp från andra personer ibland även om jag vet att dom kan ha något bra att säga. den som jag hade varit mest intresserad att ha som mentor hade varit "madfrog" då han alltid verkade kunna göra bra ifrån sig i turneringar. oavsett hans form i practice. iaf vad jag såg i sc2

Han hade såklart en jätte bra wc3 karriär med som hjälper mig stödja detta. men iallafa.. jag har tränat mig själv och jag tycker inte det har gått för dåligt i min sc2 karriär. skulle säga överlag så är jag helt okej med hur det gått än så länge, från att ha varit en Medioker wc3 spelare som spelade vid sidan av skolan. till en fulltime sc2 progamer. så gick steget förvånansvärt bra . iallafall tillbaks till frågan. Det brukade vara lättare för mig o möta bättre spelare förrut för att dom spelar inom mer restrikterade ramar, där vi "Bra " spelare vet vad som funkar och inte funkar. medans andra försöker tänja på gränserna konstant ( Mindre bra spelare ) och det kan ibland leda till att dom får ett försprång någon stans som du inte räknade med osv. men just nu så kvittar det mig helt ärligt talat vem jag möter. jag spelar lika dant ändå så det är skönt att inte oroa sig över sånt längre

Men för att summera det; Så ja. jag brukade tänka konstant i nästan 2 år på hur jag skulle bättra mina psykologi till spelet, men det enda svaret jag hittade var att jag sätter för mycket press på mig själv utan anledning. jag ska i framtiden bara försöka njuta av att spela starcraft. så kommer jag i samma veva kunna spela som vanligt med vilket leder till samma resultat som min nivå är. självklart kommer alla spelare ha ups / downs dock. för en del spelare är mer motiverade i vissa skeden osv, men jag är väldigt självsäker i min talang till spelet och tror att oavsett vem var och när det händer. så kommer jag hitta ett sätt att komma tillbaks till toppen . det om något borde vara uppenbart även för mig själv efter dessa 3 år av pro-gaming
Haha, känns som jag pratar lite mycket nu om just detta. men det har varit ett stort problem i min karriär och jag har alltid tyckt allt som handlar om hjärnan är väldigt intressant så jag gillar o skriva om det och tänka samt höra andras syner på ämnet

Nästa blogg ska jag svara på många fler frågor! Blev bara en lång nu för att jag tyckte de var så intressant som sagt! skriv fler kommentarer så jag kan blogga lättare nästa inlägg!!!! vill ju ha lite o jobba med så jag inte måste skapa allt utifrån ingenting ! Tyvärr inga bilder än då jag inte varit i sverige Puss o kram!



Sitting here writing on my blog a bit while losing some ladder games everyone's come "Home" now from shanghai to the prac house again! can't remember if I told you about going to the gym in the previous blog. probably. anyway been good at keeping it up I notice that I always get happier in general if I keep up the physical exercise every day after playing so many hours. really think it helps!

As usual I was planning to take some questions from the prevvious post. will try to explain how I think the best I can but maybe not everyone can relate to my answers. but yeah

I'll take an interesting question because I only found one. you could comment more so I will know what you want !

Nice reading! You've gotten into the blogging without problem My question is -> as many know and have said, you are probably the foreigner who understands the game the best. At your top level you can beat absolutely any player in the world. However, you've talked a bit about how your performance can drop when playing against worse players and sometimes you can lose to players you are acctually better than and "should" beat (anyone can have a bad day or something similar, but in general). Are you doing anything to affect the mental part of your game, for example sports psychology?

Answer : Have had many thoughts during my bad tournaments ( and when I play well but still not my absolute best ) about sometimes trying to take the next step which in that case would have been to not carry everything on my own shoulders. but instead just like you say. talk about it with someone who can help me. Looked up some people I was planning to contact before MLG anaheim, But I think I've started to understand more how to think now.

it's always hard to know if you have the right mentality or wrong as I've never had a mentor in e-sports. I sometimes whish I had someone who could guide me when I felt lost. but I don't know of any other top players from sweden who are still playing who had been willing to help me it's sometimes very hard for me to accept help from other people even if I know that they might have something good to say. the person I would have been most interested to have as a mentor would have been "madfrog" as he always seemed to be able to perform well in tournaments. regardless of his shape in practice. at least as far as I could see in SC2

Of course he also had a great wc3 career that I base this on. but anywa.. I've trained myself and I don't think I've been doing too bad in my sc2 career. I'd say that I'm overall just fine with how I've been doing so far, from being a Mediocre wc3 player who played while still in school. to a fulltime sc2 progamer. the leap went surprisingly well . anyway back to the question. It used to be easier for me to face better players before because they play within a more restricted frame, where us "Good" players know what works and what doesn't work. while others constantly try to push the boundaries ( Less skilled players ) and sometimes that can lead to them getting an advantage somewhere that you weren't expecting and so on. but right now it honestly doesn't matter who I face. I play the same regardless so it's nice not having to worry about stuff like that anymore

But to sum things up; So yeah. for almost 2 years I used to think constantly about how to improve my psychology to the game, but the only answer I found was that I put too much pressure on myself for no reason. in the future I will try to just enjoy playing starcraft. and I will at the same time be able to play as usual as well which leads to results that match my level. of course all players will have ups / downs though. since some players are more motivated at certain times and so on, but I am very self-confident in my talent for the game and I belive that regardless who what and when it happens. I will find a way to get back to the top . that, if anything, should be obvious to me as well after these 3 years of pro-gaming

Haha, feels like I've talked a bit too much about this now. but it's been a big problem in my career and I've always thought that everything that has to do with the brain is very interesting so I like to write about it and think as well as hear other people's opinions on the subject.

I will answer a lot more questions in the next blog! Just took a long one now because like I said I thought it was so interesting! write more comments so I can blog easier in the next post!!!! want something to work with so that I don't have to create everything from nothing ! unfortunately no pictures yet as I havn't been in sweden hugs and kisses!
