I've never been a huge Naniwa fan, but his responses here are very interesting and give lots of food for thought. The implication that he may have more raw skill than MVP... well, I find that hard to believe, but if he can prove otherwise, all power to him. His point about the extensive preparation and mind-blowing pre-match decision making of people like MVP or MC was very well taken. And also I think he's pretty close to the mark on the relative rankings of foreigners. Stephano is VERY good, but doesn't always display the same results against top Code S players (not always, as in, he sometimes wins against them but not with the same degree of consistency he displays against other foreigners). ThorZain is super slick with his decision-making and patience, but I doubt at this stage he can compete as well as Stephano or Naniwa with the top Koreans (although I hope he continues to get there a la Dreamhack). As for Squirtle being tons better than MVP and maybe the best player in the world? I don't see it. Squirtle has been in total boss-mode this GSL, but until he shows me as good of an affinity for a wide range of Protoss styles over the course of multiple series and seasons as opposed to that LETHALLY timed 2-base Colossus play (don't get me wrong, that shit is TERRIFYING and I dread facing even poor copies of it on ladder), I can't in good conscience say he is better than MVP balanced out over all factors. | ||

Well i guess he never really had any in the first place since that time he qqed about protoss on gsl after his 1 base blinkstalker all in failed. If terran frees up supply and gets planetaries protoss can counter by stockpiling hts and build canons and make a million pylons+gateways not to mention get a lot of colloso and mothership like ...... protoss has the strongest late game its just protoss players have lacked the skill to get there for a long time. yes im sure you know more about it then naniwa | ||

This. Also, didn't Tester write that "all pros know this" ealier in the thread? Do we discount the opinions of pros regarding balance/strategy now? But I'm sure you know better then some scrub that coudn't make it past the round of 8 in gsl. | ||
