Whatever he is smoking, give me double!


Surely you are already smoking something far heavier than anyone else in order to extrapolate and exaggerate expressed opinions in such a way to make them untrue and add statements which was not expressed? o_O

Why are people interpreting his words when they're there clear as can be. It's not like a translation from Klingon to English, you have all his answers in clear text. It's like those doing it need to dumb down his speech into something they can comprehend.

Anyways, glad to get pro insight.
Hey! How you doin'?

Naniwa was definitely smoking something during the interview. Mvp beat the best PvT player in the world in Parting, and super late game absolutely favors protoss. I don't know how many games I have watched a terran get a 60 supply advantage and then lose.. But its too many. And the zerg ovie isn't imba, its the queen range thats the problem.. lol

Great interview, really in depth and honest. I like it also how it branched out into a bunch of other players too.

He seems way more humble after the multiple code a losses....its has done him some good I think, because he is inherently confident, and now he has opened himself up to accepting faults or something...he's going to stick around in GSL with that attitude (I hope at least)...

"Super late game" favors Terran.

Why? He backed up everything he said with good arguments. He's probably the best foreign sc2 player in the world and he made it to the ro8 in the GSL, don't you think his opinion carries any weight?

I get the impression people just aren't reading the interview. He clearly explains how much he thinks the mindset part of sc2 plays a very important role. He never says thats a bad thing. He even says Nestea isn't the 'fastest' player, but he has the best gameplay and he respects that.

Seriously guys. Don't browse interviews and post moronic comments, its boring.

And for the record, he says 'super late game.' If a Terran can sack all but 10 of his SCV's, don't you think thats going to be hard to beat, even if Toss is 'imba' late game? Hmmm?

Um yes its known by most pros that in super late game when terran has very high ghost count (20+) and 40+ army supply from running on mainly mules, with just scvs for gas, it IS terran favoured without a question.

I love that he apologized to the fan. He knows he can trash talk all he wants, but it's almost impossible to pull off trash talking to the fans.

I think super-super lategame, Terran is overpowered, when they have planetary fortresses and like 10 SCVs and lots of orbitals and so on, you can’t really win.

That’s like super-late though, like Daybreak 5 bases.

Yeah, once you max and you have like 3-3 against 2-2, then I think it’s advantageous for Protoss, but only for a while, until they sacrifice SCVs and so on. I will say, it’s probably easier to play Terran. Like, it’s very obvious what you have to do: you have to upgrade, expand, do this at that timing, but I think Protoss has more potential.


my thoughts exactly (esp on daybreak). i don't know why terrans complain about late game PvT unless they have horrid army control in which case they should switch races.

and I also agree the overlord speed buff completely negates a lot of timings in PvZ while the queen buff makes it impossible to scout various zerg all ins. it won't break the matchup, but it makes it a lot more one dimensional (where fast 3rd is the only viable option, which zerg can metagame by mass droning).

Awesome interview Wax and Naniwa!
It always botheres me by how Naniwa is hated by some guy for what he says , just because he's Naniwa. Stephano says way worst thing but it is ok, since he's Stephano...
It's good to be back
