Best interview yet. We definately need more of this, its just so much better than the standardized and low profile korean interviews.

There are tons of amazing interviews in TIG... it's just that they are so long that no one bothers translating them.

I used to, but TL admins took those down (understandably), and I couldn't convince TIG people to let me translate for them, even free of charge. And that was it. T_T

If he gets the wrong opponents, he will lose for sure. If he gets the right opponent, I still think he will lose, but… I will probably get hated for it, but whatever, that’s just my honest opinion, and I would love to see him prove me wrong, because it’s always nice when another foreigner does well too.


What a badass, in a positive way though

Very, very, very good interview. Thanks to the interviewer. Love it.

he seems socially retarded. I hope Naniwa can mature as a person so he can be a great player and someone who isn't talked down on.



Actually... I understand every bit of what was stated in this interview... If somebody doesn't then probably he's retarded intelectually

Great in depth interview. I was surprised he was so dismissive of Thorzain, but I think that Naniwa still harbors some resentment from TSL3 when he got clocked and felt he should have won. Thorzain is better than Naniwa gives him credit for.

Thats not what socially retarded means.. It's not that he cant articulate his thoughts, it means he doesn't know how to interact with others / doesnt fit well into society. Which unfortunately is somewhat true, he has a bad knack of pissing people off by accident, due to doing something that isnt socially acceptable, like calling Nestea an idiot etc.

I think Naniwa just doesn't have a brain "filter" in terms of what he should say and what he shouldn't. Don't get me wrong I think hes a great player, but he does have the ability to be abraisive....

i never said he was an idiot, i thought his choice of strategy was idiotic. I can not articulate myself in english as well as i can in swedish which leads to some missunderstandings . just because my english isnt perfect doesnt mean im socially retarded for fuck sake. I hate people like you who just try to find something you can bend to make me look bad ^^ I dont mind if people hate me for my personality or my play but atleast dont make up your own lies and then spread them.

Don't waste your energy on people with a self claimed "Internet PhD in psychology" with their diagnoses on forums over the net

Btw next GSL finals I dont want to see you on stream at first row, you have to be on the center stage!
