I suspect there is something about the GSL that just gets to nani and prevents him from playing to the best of his ability or maybe theres something about MLG that doesn`t have the koreans play to the best of their ability. To be fair for both foregners and koreans both tournaments are so vastly different. | ||

No, Leenock would need to win 2 sets against Naniwa, while Naniwa would need to win only 1 set. It's double elimination, which means everyone gets to lose 1 set, Leenock already lost 1 set this tournament, Naniwa has yet to drop a set. | ||

If it's Naniwa vs Leenock it's 2 Bo3s with Naniwa having to win one and Leenock having to win two. That is how it's always been, go look up the Anaheim finals, MVP beat MMA 2-1 because he only had to win 1 Bo3. There is no extended purple, the VODs will reflect the same. I got the posts mixed up, while skimming and for some reason thought it was about DRG, there obviously can't be an extended series without a series to extend. | ||

Of course Nani is going to sell Check's PvZ. All personal bias aside. | ||

Both naniwa and DRG had really good seeds, and Naniwa only had to win 3 series to get to where he is. Sure, take his series over the tournament as good wins over top players, but it's not like he bested them in a 64 player tournament where he had to win from the starting line. And for people saying he "deserved the seed and the advantage for previous MLGs", but sorry, in no way should you be given ridiculous advantages such as this just for showing up to the other MLGs. He basically had 1 good performance like a year ago against no koreans, then just got like 7th+ at the others. He won the Global Invitational under the same circumstances as Nestea, MVP and Idra. Also it doesn't delegitimize the win. Even in GSL it's very rare for there to be games played under fully-optimal conditions for both players. (they have to get used to the booth, they might be sick or slept badly, jetlag, computer settings weird, etc). | ||

No. If Leenock takes down DRG he needs to win 2 BO3s against Naniwa while Naniwa only needs to win one. | ||

He took apart MVP on friday actually in the Global Invitational | ||
