Really interesting to hear so much about him "struggling" with the hidden part of the game and how he expects to be a better player, mentally, by his experiences in Korea. Really nice interview!

Awesome interview, thanks for the write up! Also, I hope he's wrong about thorzain and stephano, but I doubt it. I do think that thorzain can become a powerfull player when he's going to korea for a longer time though..
huh?

Dobby wanted some socks to be freed from his Korean overlords.

Great interview by the way, I love the honesty.

Definitely one of the better interviews out there. He had a lot of interesting things to say about the state of the game and how to approach tournaments. Thanks for doing the interview TL and Naniwa.

This interview downgraded even more my opinion of this arrogant player. Implying that he is better than Mvp is just ...wahoo... so dishonest. No one doubted Mvp's play when he won tournaments after tournaments because he was so dominant. Nani's skills have never been impressive, he is just a solid and well rounded player (average at Korean level).
Then later adding that he is better than Stephano and Thorzain because of jealousy?, wrongly stating that Stephano is a timing player (clearly is description of DRG's play apply really well to Stephano as well).

For a time I thought Nani has grown up and mature, clearly I was wrong; he is still full of himself and dishonest.

The skill part is pretty cocky as MVP owned him with CTS, but w/e no hate

"So you think Mvp, objectively, in terms of skill, you’re better than him"

Wow he didn't take the bait... Nani has learned (a bit).

I think I agree with his remark that Terran really late game is stronger than protoss when they establish planetary fortresses and are gaining minerals from mules because Protoss army is good for fighting armies but Archons and Colossus are not as good as taking down building as marauders and marines so when they have to attack into a PF it is hard. But prior to that Protoss is a lot stronger than Terran because of all the splash, but splash doesnt help against buildings.

Dishonest? If anything Naniwa gets all the hate because he is 100% honest. Same thing as Idra. LMAO

Yeah, it was dangerously close to the "TL;DR" category, but was a great read, and loved every second of it.
