Naniwa may never ever get a better shot a GSL title than this season. The road has almost been paved for him already.

No zergs left. MVP in a handicapped state. Lots of Protoss left.

This is Naniwa's GSL to lose.



Wut?

And this "Naniwa has terrible pvz" should end. If he practices he can beat any zerg. Not playing vs zerg for a month is like having a handicap in the game.
Mess with the best, die like the rest.

Strictly speaking, there's always been a 'best Protoss player in the world.' Even if everyone is terrible, someone is bound to be the least terrible, and thus by definition, 'the best.' That's not to say Protoss players have all been terrible for the last year. MC has been a very capable stand-in for most of that period, winning his fair share of foreign tournaments, but he can't help but look a bit weaker than his Terran and Zerg counter-parts. Luckily for Protoss fans, there happen to be five Protoss players left in this GSL, and with all of them having a good shot at winning the GSL championship, we may very well see a Protoss player who we can all stand behind when we say he's the best in the world. Two of them go head to head tonight


What did I just read?
Like, is it a free race bashing session covered by some match previews?
At least we should have someone less terrible to make those articles.

Oversensitive much?

Would be great to see naniwa lose because he's such a spaz, but MVP is basically disabled...and a Bo5 is going to murder his wrists. His best chance will be to go for quick and decisive wins instead of long macro games.

Naniwa beat MVP before, he can do it again.

And also everyone who is complaining about MVP's recent performances. It's because his wrist injuries, nothing else. I believe.
A bad workman always blames his tools.

To be honest if NaniWa should ever win vs MVP now would be the time, he has atleast spent 3 days on flying to China and playing the Nvidia lan and going back again, this paired with his wrist condition gives the otherwise unfavorable NaniWa a good chance.

And before you call me out on "unfavorable"; Naniwa has won vs 2 T's, one of them is one of the worst TvP'ers in Code S, and the other is known to be the weakest Code S player, I am referring to Ryung and Virus.

It should be noted that NaniWa crushed both Virus & Ryung though.

I agree with you though.

He did already beat MvP before, wouldn't be nothing new. I'm really excited but I also would like to watch more of Parting's PvT, its just too entertaining.

Strange how people keep saying that Naniwas PvZ sucks. Idra said it yesterday on "Inside the Game".

Naniwa freaking beat Sheth, Leenock and Nestea not long ago at winter arena and had a good chance against DongRaeGu.

Ugly match is ugly....even if it's considered a valid win. I fail to see the Good Game so i can't say it was. Only way to advance in GSL i guess. Would never be proud to be in RO8 of the most competitive event related to SC2, where everyone tries to show off his true skill in this game and why they got there in the first place...............................and then just cheese like that and even have a smile on your face.

Proved nothing....quite the contrary. If that's how pro players STILL prove their sportsman skill in the most competitive game on the planet then it's more then sad, may be valid, but the sadest thing possible. Desperation tactics will never be used by skillful players or highly regarded by a community that hungers for actual skill not bronze level tactics backed up by good micro.
