"For anyone who managed to stay realistic" (during the Naniwa Leenock game)?! Tiggah Please! I, and I hope many other viewers, wish to see the outcome of that game if Nani would've taken down all the tech before leaving for the expansions. And I don't feel like I'm being unrealistic...

Is it finally time to consider Stephano as one of the very best foreigner and as one of the best player there is ? I think so. May the future discussion on his allegedly overhype be considered as moot.

Otherwise great write-ups as per usual.

Depend on what best player means. Top 10? No. Top 20? Probably. Top 30? Yeah
But I definetely agree that he's probably the no1/no2 foreigner along with HuK right now.

HuK is on an entire different level then any other foreigner. Could very well be the best protoss in the world. He just needs not go to every tournament >.<. I really dislike what naniwa did. Very dishonorable.

I completely understand that clearly this was a super shitty thing to do. Naniwa was out of line and his frustration and cockiness clearly got to him. But what exactly is the issue here? Naniwa did something childish and immature because he was upset? All this means is that eSports are no different than every other sport on the planet. Zidan headbutted an opposing player. Ron Artest beat the shit out of a bunch of fans. Tie Domi sprayed water at a fan then broke his nose. These are professional players under stress expected to perform well and when they don't, they get frustrated and make insanely stupid decisions.

Now, is Naniwa wrong for what he did? Of course he is. He was essentially saying "Fuck this tournament I don't even care any more". Which is immature and childish. But do I think everyone needs to take it easy and relax? Yes. Naniwa is human. Although according to his StarCraft II play almost seems like an android. But that's neither here nor there. The point is, Naniwa made a stupid decision on a game that, as he made clear "didn't mean anything" and was trying to prove a point that didn't need to be made. Naniwa and Nestea will lick their wounds, shake hands and forget all about this soon. And so should you.
