funny how everyone has been talking about late game PvT overpower and Naniwa just like, nope, orbitals, gg.

There is a difference between late game and super late game.

Very good interview.

"but clearly I play this game not for the money, I think I’ve told everyone that several times. I only play to prove that I am the best, or whatever. So of course, if people say that someone is the best foreigner, then I want to prove them wrong. Unless it’s me, obviously. I hope eventually I will play Stephano, and ThorZaIN, and so on, and we can all decide once and for all."

So awesome...... always challenging everyone with a twinkle in his eye
Damn... Naniwa is such a unique person in every way, wow, I LOVE HIM :')))!!!! There's no player like him and I guess there never will be.

Additional thoughts:
In the end of the day, when all smoke clears our, there is only truth, and I think thats how he lives. He can admit if he's shit, admit protoss is imba on some map, criticize himself in every regard if he knows so, or give credit to anyone where credit is due (regardless what he thinks of the PERSON). I respect that more than anything.

---
Btw, by thanking Swedish fans does not imply saying "fu" to anyone not Swedish... keep that in mind. Do not assume what is not said .
I know he deeply appreciates all true fans, not caring where you live, who you are, or what language you speak.

Take home message:

- All other foreingers are basically trash, especially Stephano who is "an average zerg"
- Nani is better than MVP, who is a lucky guy
- Contrary to popular belief, TvP lategame is in fact easier for terran

He is such a brilliant troll. I love it.

Good player too.

Awesome interview.

Surprised to see not a lot of respect for MVP's skills... I guess his injuries have slowed him alot.

So much insight in this interview, he basically just explained why the koreans are better.

"Basically, I placed well and beat good enough players to claim that I am pretty good. And if I don’t have confidence in myself, then no one else will either, so I have to at least, even if I do suck – which I hope I don’t – I have to believe that I’m good at least."
is an amazing quote
