Would of course have loved to see you go even further, but Jaedong is on fire this tournament and losing to him is nothing to be ashamed of. All in all a great tournament from you! Getting out of the group of death (by beating Innovation) is no small feat. Hope to see you in Season 3 finals aswell, that would probably be enough to take you to blizzcon too.

Really well done for getting out of the Group of Death! And as Appollo and Artosis said, Jaedong won the gimicky games while you won the straight games. Would have loved to see you play tomorrow as well, but i think placing in the top 8 and higher as you've been all this year really is a testament to your consistency and skill.

GL for season 3, you really deserve a spot at blizzcon!

Well, maybe it is pretty annoying to be out of the tournament on the last game versus Jaedong where Naniwa had really the game but well, if u look back to the entire tournament, i think it's a really awesome performance.

I mean, top8 WCS finals + beating Innovation + getting revenge on duckduck on a ezpz mode + good placement for Blizzcon + a pretty good cashprize.

Holy god man, well played !

Really happy about how he managed to perform, well done!

He played well against Jaedong as well, thought he had that last map on several occasions. Even his PvP looked good when he was actually able to play the way he wanted (and duckdeok has a scary PvP winrate).

I just think about NaNiwa being the only foreigner to have ever taken a Bo3 or higher from INnoVation :D

It will cheer me up at times ^^

Jaedongs ZvP seems pretty strong .. Naniwa looked closer than this game now (v First).

Hate will be spoken and flames will burn, even in this sport, but fans will still support. Take 3 is just around the corner, show them who's boss Nani ^^

Hey Naniwa, if you read this, will you try to qualify for the Red Bull event?

He would be dumb not too. The people who get in are guaranteed money and with that tiny player pool you go straight to the semi-finals after group stage. He also plays really well in America.
