I don't really like NaniWa but he showed a different side in this interview, than what I was used to.

Great interview, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thus far, the extent of my girlfriend's involvement in Starcraft II has been going down to MLG Columbus 2012 with me and she now only knows NaNiwa as, "the guy with the Victoria's Secret pants..."

I agree with Naniwa about almost everything in here, including about Thorzain, and I have been a rabid Thorzain fan from day 1. Prove us wrong, Thorzain!

Great interview Waxangel, thanks to Naniwa for being honest and straight up. Laughed when I read about the swedish fan attempting to console him after his loss in the GSL, pretty sure most people can relate to that sort of situation, too soon!

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.

Yeah, I understood that as a reference to the extreme late game, where both players have tons of bases and the map is getting closed to mined out. In that situation I do think Terran has an advantage since we can mine minerals faster and our core units in the matchup are mostly mineral heavy. Also Terran units tend to be better in small numbers.

The trouble is managing to trade armies evenly enough to get to that point.

Im not the guy that will support a guy just because he's from sweden but I support you Naniwa! It's obvious you just want to be really good at this game for real and I like that, good luck to you.

Great interview.

Socks are like the worst thing to steal. They’re like the last thing you care about.

He stole socks? Let's email his sponsors about it.
It's so funny, I actually read the whole interview in NaNiWa voice without even realising :D
He is just my favourite e-sport personallity.

I hate how he says squirtle is just way above MVP in natural skill. LOLZ, if he were why did he only now get to finals?
