MC is a far better player than Naniwa, it's not close. He's much more consistant, has won far more tournaments and is better in every matchup.

Granted that MC has won bigger tournaments due to playing on a bigger stage (doesn't get much bigger than GSL) but Naniwa has been pretty damn consistant these last couple of months.


Has he? After MLG he did okay in MLG in the easiest group but lost to Slush/Losira and MC.

In WCG Sweden he lost to Morrow

In TSL3 he lost to Thorzain in the final

In Road to Korea he lost to Sase in the final.

In Dreamhack he lost to Moon.

He's been there or thereabouts in most things but he should have done better than he did.


In MLG MC lost to Losira.

In GSL May MC lost to Polt in the Ro32

In GSL Super tournament he lost to Alicia in Ro64

In Dreamhack he lost to Bomber in Ro8

In Home story cup 3 he lost to Naniwa in the semi-finals of the upper bracket


I daresay most of those players MC lost to are superior to the ones Naniwa lost to.


You still can't make the argument that MC has showed more consistent results if he has lost earlier in the tournaments he has participated in. Also, both of them lost to Losira in MLG, Naniwa lost to Moon in Dreamhack who won against Bomber.

, MC He won stars war, major tourney. Nani played well grats to him but saying naniwa>MC is laughable even in pvp and if you think that overall then seriously lol.


Naniwa hasn't even participated in GSL and Starwars so you can't really compare the two until they've participated in the same tournaments. I mean, Naniwa is a MLG Champion, is MC that?

Yea naniwa was MLG champion when no koreans were there, doesnt really mean that much. Mc has won 2 gsl's and he has gotten taken out by many koreans worse then MC such as nada in NASL, he lost to MC at MLG. I dont understand how people can come to these conclusions after 1 best of 3 pvp where the score was 2-1. That is just ridiculous. I dont think naniwa's results can even be considered anywhere close to mc's and i highly doubt naniwa is going to go on to win GSL in the next few months. Sure he could do well after spending alot of time in korea, but if we are talking about right now he is not even anywhere near MC.

Well it looks pretty good if the only ones that knock out MC are his fellow GSL korean players. This was the first time a Non-Korean has beaten MC in a LAN tournament.

Naniwa is a beast in his own right, but MC is the more consistent player.

Which is why I'm incredibly excited to see Naniwa in Code A in August. I'm huge fans of both Protoss players.

So I guess it's Huk vs Naniwa for winner's bracket finals, and then MC vs (Winner of Idra vs Tarson) for loser's bracket finals.


Huk Vs Naniwa for WB finals.

Then winner of Mc vs (winner of idra vs tarson) vs loser of Huk vs Naniwa
Never Regret anything because at one time it was exactly what you wanted.

Sucks that ThorZain lost -_-.
Tarson will just get rolled by IdrA.


Thorzain would have been rolled by IdrA too, wouldn't make a difference


Thorzain rolled Idra at MLG Columbus.


Idra won his group easily. Thorzain said he didn't feel Idra put any effort into the match.


Well Thorzain had played in the open bracket for the entire day before that so..

I love the perfect line-up of shots, MC pulls out his phone, cut to Tarson reaching into his bag and checking his phone.

My imagination suggests that MC just texted Tarson, "Yo, 2-0 IdrA for me, bro".

Tarson is looking really strong right now but his TvZ is looking like his weakest matchup. So i guess the gracken will beat him again.

How is he not "anywhere near" MC if he just won against him in a BO3 lol. Apparently he can at least compete with him so I wouldn't say he isn't anywhere near him...

Thorzain is so inconsistant, he can look so good sometimes but he gets knocked out of tournaments way too much by guys he shouldn't be losing to.
