Naniwa seems to have a lot of trouble articulating his thoughts in a straightfoward manner.

He's a fantastic player, I really like his winner's mindset, and I sympathize a lot of times with him when things go awry for him but,

+ Show Spoiler +
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.

To say that Squirtle is for sure a lot more skilled than Mvp is a very bold statement haha. I guess we will see during the finals XD.

I think stupid is a better term than bold here.

Well it's obvious that Naniwa still has a lot of respect for the Protoss President, I remembered a long time ago that he said MC was the player he admired the most. I like both of them, so I hope they make up and be friends!

I think MC stated clearly he doesn't like Naniwa at all.

Great interview. I laughed about his PvT super late game comment though. PF's are the mass spine equivalent for Terran except Terran doesn't have a unit like broodlords to stall for. Orbitals letting you have higher supply is helpful but splash and warpgates still diminish the advantage.

Which reminds me, Protoss players need to spam more gateways/robos late game when they're banking so much money.

lol @ the super-late game TvP comment. It's like saying Protoss is Imba super SUPER late game when they get 20 Carriers+Mothership. Well no shit, but good luck getting there alive.

Naniwa used to be my favorite, then I find out he's a fucking sock thief?!?!

A really good interview, thanks!
But yeah being a Korean gamer is very imba. If you're a non-korean gamer you have to balance your game playing with earning money and your real life. If you're Korean you just sit around playing games all day eating 2 cent ramyun and becoming gosu.

Damn S class interview there. The best SC2 interview I've read yet. Absolutely awesome work and thanks for putting the time into it Nani!

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.


Yeah lol sick post!

Well it's the usual bullcrap from Naniwa but hey I'm still a fan at the end of the day :D
