Wow. Being Protoss, whenever I lose a game on ladder I just re-read Naniwas interview and am charged up to go again. Such determination and power of will is inspiring!

Awesome analysis! I really enjoyed reading it...

By the way, I'm lucky enough to be a spanish leaving just 400 kilometers away from Valencia, so will be there tomorrow! While I really admire all these players; I will root mainly for Lucifron. I have the hope that he can indeed be the surprise of the tournament.

Spanish fans are actually following him on the APSC2 team and he regularly posts some nice blog on the team site: http://www.aprenderstarcraft2.es/blogs/Lucifron (sorry, all content it's in spanish ) Based on his last updates, he is taking his university studies very seriously but at the same time he is enjoying a lot recently from SCII. It's difficult to predict what would be the results of such talented player if he would be fully dedicated to the game.

Go Luci!

Does anyone still remember the naniwa we all hated from a year ago?

And look at him now, holy shit, he has changed......A LOT.

Naniwa definitely has the eye of the TIGER.

why do these article always say stuff like Korean practice, Korea training as the reason why Koreans are so good?

practice doesnt matter, its about natural talent the Koreans have. all koreans train the same way and the same amount of time, but not most of them will never be a mvp or nestea. even though they cant be that high, there natural talent of Koreans allows them to exceed any foreigners that go through the same training

im not saying Korean practice doesn't help since it does, but it wont make them beat the natural talent of a Korean and win mlg or the gsl. Korean practice makes them a top foreigner and if u get pvp finals can allow them to beat Koreans because of the match up.

maybe this is what everyone thinks but don't want to say it because they don't want to accept it

Naniwa is such a boss I really want to see some more Toss/ Foreigners in Code S or just making it farther in code A. Hopefully with IdrA going back to Korea and the other dignitas guys we can get some more foreigners, Huk must be getting tired of carrying that foreigner flag.

when is this awesome one day tourney? that would be some pretty good info to have in this well written article.

[edit] September 17th
it's on the liquipedia page. it would be more fan friendly if that was in one of the first few lines of he article or at least more prominently located. yes i found it easily, but let's make it easy for everyone. maybe advertising wasn't the purpose of this article, but it seems to lean that way.

again, awesome article. loved the layout, one of the best articles i have read in the past few months.

I never really liked naniwa after how he behaved and how bad his attitude was in the early days of the game. Even as time went on after he joined dignitas I thought I could see some of his old problems shine through, even though he was obviously trying very hard to improve.

As of late, however, it is becoming increasingly hard not to like him. His attitude and dedication almost seems to be in a class of its own. I didn't think naniwa would reach a place where his bad habbits of old would be overshadowed by a new awesome attitude and dedication. I'm starting to think I was wrong.

God what is happening? Idra, rightfully imho, considered the worst player in a tournament involving largely foreigners and me becoming a naniwa fan. I might have to buy two hats just so that I can eat both of them.

Naniwa is the most respectable foreign compeititor out there, his fierce competitive spirit and self-improving drive is something lacking in most but the few foreigners (Jinro, Huk).

Thorzain says he can get as good practice in Europe, that's just an excuse. Naniwa is boss, i hope to see him one day be in code S in GSL.

ThorZain politely declined an interview with TeamLiquid leading up to DreamHack, leading us to wonder: what is he hiding? After WeMade Fox disbanded, ThorZain went for a mysterious stay at the SlayerS house, after which he has been seen tweeting merrily away at fellow housemates and gosu Terrans, Ganzi and MMA. Perhaps he has learned the secret to the Koreans' greatness, but is covetously keeping it to himself


I think we all know what they have been practising

Awesome writeup, and an even better interview with Nani. Wish he was a little more upbeat though =/

Naniwa's a fucking boss.
It makes me really happy to see him state that he could possibly be in Korea for several years. The more foreigners in Korea the better - especially ones such as Naniwa.
