Naniwa seems alright though he wont last vs Korean players(especially once BW pros come onto the stage) , maybe best foreigner, maybe but not (Korean) S class.

Seems like a jerk too telling off his own fans that came all the way from Sweden. tisk tisk
And a sock thief bad decisions mate, need to work on your timing.

ehh...maybe it's just my bias but it seems like he kinda shits on a few top players and came pretty close to calling himself more skilled than MVP in that one question, at which point I would have just lost it.

Everytime I learn more about Naniwa I like him more. This is just like what TLO was saying about having to readjust your goal every time you win; I really respect that.

Not the biggest Naniwa fan, but I think he conducted himself very well in this interview. He got a good balance between honestly and courtesy; said it like it is while not disrespecting anyone. I think overall Naniwa is a much more mature person now, he's got a better mindset and can really focus on his game rather than getting caught up in stupid off field stuff.

Great stuff Waxangel, with Hot_Bid as the interviewer you don't get the spotlight you deserve.

Mvp's mentality is certainly to his advantage, but to imply he isn't one of the most purely skilled players in the scene is absurd.

Thanks for the interview.

I think Naniwa's starting to grow on me a little.

I would be more inclined to agree with Naniwa's idea that Mvp is really good at preparing and that's why he wins in gsl if he had not won an MLG and Blizzcon or got 4th in providence coming from the open bracket.

Life on planet Naniwa.

Naniwa's skill level > MVP's

"Super late game" favors Terran.

Zerg imba after ovie patch.

Everyone else is bad, he is good. Oh wait, except Squirtle. Squirtle is the best in the world right now.

Whatever he is smoking, give me double!
