PvP just seems a bit more random then the other matches I think. Anyway, nice to make it to the finals so looking forward to that =) And 5-6th isn't really bad either.

Well, I think you absolutely were a top contender to win the whole thing, close call. Really well played to get to Worlds, was a lot of fun to watch. Good luck in your upcoming games

Naniwa now in the top 16 of the overall rankings! Looks good for making it to Blizzcon if he keeps it up!

I'm so relieved he got to top 16 worlds so he can pick up those points. I just wish he could have won the whole Europe season, he seriously deserve a big tournament win, but he always misses out narrowly(Maybe not this WCS to be particular considering he went out in top 8)

I had higher hopes for Nani after he made ro8. It was crushing to see him go the way he did. But beating Vortix to make it through to the global finals makes up for some of the disappointment. Looking forward to those finals! Let's hope for a minimum amount of PvP there.

Just as a statistic, with his top8 finish in WCS Europe and his qualification for WCS Season 2 finals, Naniwa overtakes Fruitdealer & Boxer in esport-earnings.

Just took 3 years to overtake fruitdealers earning from winning one gsl

The first couple of gsl prizepools were truly insane

But I can't say enough how happy I am he won over vortix - even tough I feel bad for the duran brothers - it is so nice to see naniwa in the global finals.

I doesn't feel as bad anymore knowing that he lost to the eventual winner.

Anyone here know when they draw the groups for the finals? Is it known?

Groups are drawn and we are in for some sick matches.

Group C:
Duckdeok
Innovation
Taeja
Naniwa

Group of death... and i am sure naniwa is pumped as hell. Innovation, the best player in the world. Duckdeok the guy who won WCS europe and eliminated him in the ro8. Taeja... TAEJA!!!!

I don't think it will happen, but just because it's NaNiwa we support and that he always perform against players he shouldn't beat he can go through.

I think if he plays duckdeok first and win with some luck he may be able to overcome either TaeJa or INnoVatioN with some cheese or all ins, but he is probably dead
