It was quiet obvious how pressured Naniwa looked. Although this behaviour is unacceptable... It's forgivable.

The dust settles, and two foreigners remain in the WB. IdrA can't seem to hang with the new Protoss meta-game, not that his ZvP was ever stellar. 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.

Apparently NanIwa hosted the wrong map and blamed the admins for it and called the tournament a joke, delaying the broadcast.

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.

How is it unacceptable? I simply don't understand. If this was IdrA, people would be lapping it up...

Good apology. Look, what he did was pretty inexcusable, but the community has forgiven worse for others who never apologized.

Can someone link me the video or interview where naniwa said nestea was an idiot? The interview on mlg didn't seem too harsh.

But he is already respected by who actually matters.

the thing i dont get is how Naniwa can be so crushingly self critical of all his losses and then switches to utter hubris after 2 series vs MVP and Nestea.. its like there is no middle ground what so ever.

and cue the Complexity damage control...

on the plus side ive never been so into a match as the 2nd nestea/nani, hope tomorrow keeps these awesome games going!

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
