I love the Nestea profile. #1 zerg in my mind and he is the creator of the universe.

ill never forget naniwas bm i hate that guy


Lol, I don't understand why people got so upset by that probe-rush, the game didn't even matter so what's the point of playing it? And don't tell me it was disrespectfull and all that bullshit, Naniwa is just one of the few people that are bold enough to do what anyone would do but they think of their reputation sp they don't do it.


He also thumbs downed Nestea and called his play terrible in his early games at MLG... and Nestea is pretty much the least BM guy out there there was no reason for it.

But that was a while ago, and Naniwa hasn't been so bad since.

Naniwa has a good chance. While by a poll of "who do you think will/should win", it would be like 9:1 in favor of DRG, realistically, in like a 100 games it'd probably be like a 6:4 in favor of DRG (okay maybe a 6.5:3.5....). If Naniwa prepares well and with the right people, he might be able to bring the odds closer... the biggest wildcard is how is PvZ is right now. The current Z metagame has drastically affected ZvT but hasn't really put much of a dent in ZvP, which is the biggest plus.

I'm more of a fan of DRG (always have been from the start), but I'm rooting for naniwa as he is a clear underdog.... although

I'm not sure how I feel about having 3 P's in RO4


I honestly think that DRG-Naniwa in a 100 game match would probably be 5:1 in favor of DRG. I think he has no chance in hell to take more than one game here.

Naniwas PvZ is just nowhere near world class level.

i dont care who wins. out of those 4 players, DRG is probably the one i like the least, and that says something.
All what KT currently needs is a Zerg and a second Terran

I can't care less about Nani's BM, or anything else. This is a game of skill and perseverance, and god dammit that swede has both! I hope he can pull a major upset, or failing that at least show some good games.

gogo underdogs, Byun and Naniwa fighting!
also i think you should be able to combine like 5 archons to make a really really shitty oliver stone film - Keanu_Reaver, bw balance genius

The entire naniwa drg breakdown section had my laughing quite nicely, brilliantly written.
"excrement" a joke I'm not getting or did byun seriously have that ID at some stage?

hopefully byun puts up a good showing, but i like to see nestea do well given his bw background.

naniwa will get mauled by drg but hopefully he puts up some cool games to watch. only game i see him taking are allins or super late game with drg going in at a disadvantage. drg is simply a better player than naniwa
i love you

If I were to bet money I would say Nestea and DRG. But I really hope Nani will upset!

I don't understand the hate towards Naniwa and him being BM. Isn’t DRG equally BM?
Naniwa is not my favorite player but one has to respect the fact that he is the only foreigner that can make things happen in GSL right now.That's quite the feat (win or lose this game)!

Edit: And thanks for great writeups! Very nice read!

I dont get why ppl keep saying they wont forget Naniwa bm. And praising DRG when DRG himself bm a lot too.
One guy dont bm now, and one guy is bming, and u choose to like the one who bm a lot now?

I respect DRG because of his play, his play amaze me, but his bm.. I dont like it that much and it turn me down from his great play. But well, he plays good.

I think Nesta win but Byun has a chance. 3-2, 3-1 may be
My brain tell me DRG win 100%, but i want DRG fall, so less bm from him.

CANNOT WAIT FOR THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honestly, I think you're underrating Naniwa here. Like, foreign biases aside, I think he has a better chance than what you make it seem like. He has managed to upset leenock and nestea and mvp a few times. It's not impossible. If he can compete with genius, he can compete with anyone. I don't know. Things aren't all that bleak, really. It's gonna be hard fought, but I give naniwa at least 30 percent chance of winning. maybe 40/60 on a good day. We'll see.
