Very solid interview. He seems very determined, which is really cool. I hope he does well in the future.

I don't really get why people say that. Would the only situation where you wouldn't say that be if Naniwa said he really didn't like asian girls? Or would you then just say he is racist?

I guess it's just a matter of inflation. Naniwa has spent his entire life around ridiculously hot swedish girls so he is kind of used to them much in the same way that any non-swedish male isn't. So that means the hotness value is not as great there as it is with rest of the world. And of course he is then interested in something new.

hmm i think ur overanalyzing lol. he said he likes asian girls and thus the term yellow fever.
didnt really imply anything much more than that lol. but i do understand your point

naniwa has been humanized for me by this article. Great writing, great questions, great layout, this looks and reads professional

IdrA might be the worst player there... Come on please ?? Dongraegu and IdrA are the best players out there , i think both got a chance to win all or come at the second place , Naniwa is also good , Lucifron is no-name =]
IdrA , teach me how...

this would be awesome if it is held in the US. But I think the finals will never happen like my prediction


Funniest post of the thread goes to you.

Hahah, I would never have guessed that I would become a Naniwa-fan, but he just keeps churning out great interviews. :D

Naniwa, hero, huk, dongraegu, etc all better than Idra atm. His recent results are pretty average, like 3-24 vs koreans, losing alot in EGMC, lost to trimaster etc. He's probably better than lucifron though.

That was a great interview with Naniwa. I love hearing from him, because he is very to the point. I am glad that he talked about early Protoss scouting, because it is really lack luster. Hopefully he can rip it up soon.

Nice to see the foreigner players find each other.

lucifron would probably beat Idra 9 out of 10 times.. he beat Nerchio pretty convincingly in the last monthly Zotac. Idra is around #50 in the list of top players imho.

Respect Naniwa, the only thing that is stopping him from being a top contender is his race atm. Hope this changes. His and Sase's attitudes are the best.

All top protoss are considering to be in a slump now, pretty much. Likely, it has little to do with the players.
I can no longer rest under the tree of wisdom, since you have axed down the roots feeding it.
