Nani has Dignitas' support, and such a high-profile team will surely be able to send a player to the GSL whenever they wanted to. Maybe Nani will go to Korea anyway. If not, he will now still be able to qualify for ESL Campus Party, maybe participate in the next Homestory cup, and surely be able to attend MLG Anaheim (all these events will collide with the next GSL season in one way or another). Whereas I totally cheered for you, Nani, I am quite happy that I can keep watching more of your play in EU tournaments  On another note, we got to see a glimpse of the new PvP today. 4gate is not dead, and in the right spawning positions on bigger maps we can see some great strats and BOs. I loved the DT->Archon transition from Nani on TalDarim | ||

After this statement I must say I really hope both can go to Korea... Latency doesn't necessarily mean noticeable mistakes like mis-micro, but it also affects many tiny things that spectators might not grasp, and more importantly, affects the mindset of the player (namely, the fear of it *potentially* affecting play). It's why we see some Koreans who seemingly play "normally" without any large mistakes in online tournaments, but still end up losing to simple things, and more importantly, never show any amazing control or decisions. When the skill difference isn't large, ordinary play might not be able to win certain situations in certain games. Like, when we see amazing "starsense" or perfectly crisp battle management from players like Bomber or mvp that can instantly pull them ahead of another player - such play will almost never happen on games affected by high latency. The skill difference between Naniwa and SaSe isn't large, and thus, the crisp execution and micro we usually see from Naniwa might not have been so crisp (but not noticeable enough for spectators to see), and thus, he loses. Or, he might have had a bad day. Who knows. Either way, go SaSe! | ||

Jetlagged, NA->EU lag and caught up training for TSL finals.. I mean he didnt even have time to patch his EU copy before the tournament began. But that's also the game. He lost, and that's how it is. The best player doesnt always win. I'm glad for SaSe and I hope he learns alot on Korea. Although I'm kind of sad because it would've been great for the foreign scene to see Naniwa in Korea, because if HuK kan be a code S player then Naniwa sure as hell can wreck shit up over there. Especially with proper training. Let's hope Dignitas sends him anyway, it would be a GREAT investment for them. I hope they realize that. | ||

Some are saying that the winner of the TSL gets a free Code A seed (not sure how reliable this information is). So Naniwa will have a good chance anyways - although, I wouldn't mind if Thorzain gets it either.  Edit: also, HuK has always had issues with nerves (but most Koreans who play him on ladder think that he's a beast) - I realize that ladder doesn't mean much when one has to play on TV in front of a live audience, but don't assume that he's a lesser player just because Naniwa has been in better form recently. | ||

I don't think there's any foreigner, expect maybe idra, that would do better than Nani in Code S. Not saying he would dominate but.. you know, TSL finals, MLG win, owning his NASL division and hes (as far as I know) a record 36 straight BoX wins..it's hard to say he isnt one of the better protoss in the game right now. I think he could do just fine in Code S. Don't think the rest of the world is that far behind korea. | ||
