Such a shame he had to mention this, because of all these intellectual ragers.. gj to the people tying to defend him even though it was an uneven battle. mainly in rationality. | ||

Unfortunate that he had to face MC instead of MVP, but there's still the chance that he might face MVP in the LB. Naniwa and HuK have carried the foreigner torch forward this tournament, though in different fashions. The first has become the new face of BM. The second is an old crowd favorite. In terms of achievements, Naniwa has achieved much more this MLG - beating MVP, Nestea, and then Nestea again (for a record of 4-2) is not something any other foreigner can boast. As much notoriety as Naniwa might have gained for his actions in-between games, the man deserves credit for showing that no, he is not going to become just another foreigner victim in a sea of foreigner victims. He wants it all. Meanwhile, the favorites from IM, Nestea and MVP, have both been sent to the LB. That this would happen, and via foreigners in the case of Nestea, was almost unthinkable prior to the tournament. But now it is a reality - though no doubt helped by the seeding system that gave them ample time to prepare, whereas Nestea and MVP had to slug it through the OB, one foreigner has risen to the greatest challenge of them all... And triumphed. Pity that he had to wreck his reputation on the exact same day. But hey, Naniwa is what he is. Accept him, reject him, hate him, love him, this tournament thus far has been his story. u talk as if Naniwa and Huk is somewhat sooo gooooddd if foreigners that good, then why's no one ever through the second round of Code A ?! only Huk able do that, after he's multiple tries foreigner won because this is "their" tournament their rules, their turf, system, etc the fact that only Huk (and jinro, and arguably idra) can last in korean turf, but NEVER won a single cup is a fact that foreginer only won because this is "their" tournament korean come being jet lagged, crawling from open bracket, with maximum a week of training (due to GSL) but foreigner came to GSL with everything set they came more than 3 days before the match (citation needed), they know the opponent, has the same preparation time the same thing goes for GSL World Championship u saw the IPL KoTH like clan war ? no one gets even near slayers B teamers thou i'd like to see how EG (arguably the best foreigner team) has their chances against them they can have the throphy, but NOT YET the acknowledgement | ||

NanIwa comes off as a arrogant, bitter person to alot of people ( me included ) because of the childish way he acts. He's very good but if he want's to be respected by most, he needs to grow up, it's not really just this one thing but the way his attitude in general. But he is already respected by who actually matters. | ||

Obviously he was under immense pressure being on stage against Nestea, expecially with yesterday's win in mind. Nani is so focused on winning and probably have pretty bad tunnel vision when he is "in the zone". It's not an excuse for saying MLG is a joke, but an explanation. The whole "thumbs down is bm" is just ridiculous imo since there obviously was a rivalry and Nestea was in on it. Naniwa often gets misinterpreted which is really sad. He's often really nice and even funny in interviews, but he really needs some form of mental training so he doesn't end up in these situations. | ||

It was taken way, way out of context by everyone. Watch for yourself, 90% of the people referencing I'm sure haven't actually seen it. | ||
