Here we go again. This weekend is about good games and good fun. Don't rain on that parade. Play nice guys. Here's the very standard and friendly:

- NO Balance Whine.
- NO Player Bashing.
- NO Caster Bashing.
- NO BM whatsoever.

Breaking these rules (from pg 166 forward) will be met with severe punishment.

Naniwa had to pay his dues, too. Don't forget about his previous MLG victory run where he also had to come up through the open bracket.

This. NOONE deserves it anywhere close... Last months on all I hear is how Nestea nd MVP are the best in the world. Naniwa plays them both many times in 3 days and more top koreans + Huk on top of that and absolutely crushes.


Noone is anywhere near to that dominance this tournament. Can anyone say I'm wrong?


It's not about skill. The mass prefers a charismatic youth about a concentrated professional.

I kinda expected more from the sc comunity ^-^

Funny how the community was calling him far from professional yesterday, now a foreigner can win and suddenly he's the most professional guy ever.

Lol .. small steps in the right direction

You can't argue that his early game stability and control is absolutely amazing; you cannot rush him. Ever.

He held a FFE on XNC against Nestea; that shit is insane!

Go Naniwa!

I would say Leenock probably deserves it a little more. Other than the 0-2 to DRG, he has beaten every single opponent before him. Sure Nani has done the same, but the number of games played is just vastly different.


But is it always a bad thing?

Leenock is 16 years old... He is nervous... Many games ---> less nerous

And Naniwa himself said that he gets better and better the longer he is in the tournament, can´t it be so for most people?

He doesn't really deserve it anymore than Naniwa. Need me to remind you that leenock is not the first to go through open bracket to win.. In fact Naniwa did that in a prior mlg too. ^^


remind me how stacked that open bracket was that nani beat... yeah don't think so

naniwa : 8 games to make it to the final
leenock : 31 games to make it to the final

say what you will about naniwa's skill (he's good), but the winners bracket is pretty favoured.


Yup of course it is. In fact both Naniwa and Leenock came from the Winners Bracket!!

I think you meant Championship bracket / Open bracket =)

I think you guiz forgot to add the number of games that Naniwa had to win in other mlg's to get to his position in the first place.

so in reality naniwa played WAY more games than leenock to get in such a favorable position.


how are games played 4 month ago affecting his stamina at this MLG? that's not comparable.
Things are laid back in Unidenland. And may the road ahead be lid with dreams and tomorrows. Which are lid with dreams. Also.

Leenock is good mannered.

That's about it really.

I think having a likable personality means a lot more than just what country you're from but I guess that's just my opinion then

Do you think Naniwa can beat Leenock without all-inning? I doubt it, but I have not seen all Naniwa games today. How have he performed when going 3base or more?


Vs Lucky on daybreak he fell apart and didn't know how to deal with zerg when they can macro.


Well duh, thats why protosses always but 2 base pressure on zergs is possible cus its like a 100 percent loss if you let zerg macro..

how many zergs always tell protoss to stop whining when they try to play macro game and give advice to put pressure on earlier... -,-

If he was just a bit more mannered, people would support him a lot more I guess. And he doesn't BM like Idra, who QQ's a lot about zerg, randomly rage quits without GG and such, he wins the match and starts bashing a player like nestea, really uncool.

if doing thumbs downing someone who was "going to smash him," constitutes bashing, then I'm sure what kinds of fans he's missing out on

edit: sorry its pretty true ...though most of his games this MLG have been 2 base attacks...now im not saying its his one trick...but when most of ur wins come from timing pushes it isnt very entertaining
