That's fucking embarassing for the foreign scene. In other news Go Grubby!


Kinda agree, DieStar and Grubby are our only hope there.


Still, some Koreans got owned quite early.

Only 1 Zenex player was defeated before the Round of 16. No other Koreans (that are pro players in SK right now) have lost.


You are completely right, I somehow immediately stumbled upon this and "assumed" that he wasn't the only one....

...my bad. Then it's indeed quite lol, I mean what are the odds of somebody not losing a Bo1 vs cheese...

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 naniwa 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.



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...



Notice i never said anything about skill level, i was talking about results........

and honestly its PVP its much easier to take games off of superior players than in any other matchup IMO. Thats not to say naniwa didnt play fantastic, but i just dont hold much stalk on a players skill level based on 1 best of 3 PVP. Im sure both of them have lost pvp's to masters players on the ladder before, does that mean those players are better than them? or even anywhere close to their skill level?


I haven't said that anyone is better than anyone, I'm just saying that Naniwa obviously is near MCs skill-level. And why would you discuss anything else? Of course MC has better results cause he have participated in every single GSL there's been so far while Naniwa has not participated in a single one. The only thing interesting is skill-level imo. Fruitdealer is a GSL champion, but who's better right now him or Idra? Also, PvP is a lot more skill-based than it seems. Naniwa clearly out-microed him in that last engagement and focused down MCs collossi beautifully.

Can't wait to see MC vs IdrA in LB finals...and then MC will 2-0 him again. IdrA would be on complete tilt.

Wonder if this will make Idra angry I still hope MC won't win too crushingly against whoever gets to play him.

Other thing...Naniwa seems solid...GSTL is going to be interesting o.O I hope not having naniwa in my team isnt going to harm my fantasy team!


Lol grilltoss.

Is there any story to it other than he was grilling and everyone loved it? I came late on day 1, which is apparently when it happened since people were already talking about it.

MCs english seems perfectly fine to have a basic conversation about "normal" things and I doubt he has any problem talkin to the other pros when it comes to sc2. If there are any problem there is a translator there, so I don't think thats an issue.
He seemed to have fun though from all the time I saw him on the spycam or the normal stream.

Man, I feel for MC. Hes not be able to communicate nor having fun with all the foreigners there. Must be quite tedious for him.


I don't think it's as bad as you think, I think he's just a very serious competitor so once the competition started getting heated, he's taking time away from the goofy and fun aspect of the tournament and environment and focussing more on the competition.

I guarantee he still feels like an outsider, not being able to speak the same language and such and huk/jinro seem busy with joking around / poker. Im sure its difficult for him being the only korean there and not knowing the language that well. Plus alot of the europeans probably branch off into their respective languages when hanging out with people from their own country.

I herd lots of people talking about how MC was joining in playing poker. I really don't think its bad at all for him. Everyone that has met him says out outgoing and very fun. I assume he is hanging out and having a blast when not playing. Plus his English is more then good enough to hold a conversation with a bunch of drunk poker playing Europeans <3


I think at the beginning it's nice enough. But after a while it becomes rather bothering. Particularly when tons of people are together. It's interesting, but it becomes overwhelming after some time. I think he must be somewhat pissed, but he's a nice guy and a showman, so I think he's trying to make this a fun experience. Someone with a different character would have a really hard time.


So many assumptions, I saw the pictures and his Liquid Bro's seem to be giving him love.
And maybe he is just the kind of person who sleeps a lot. People seem a bit eager to look for drama.
Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not. 파이팅! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ"
