I think DRG is the best player left but I doubt he'll win. He's on his last life so to speak, and with extended series he starts out down 1-2 against PartinG.

It was spectacular. My God reminds more and more that I need to practice my forcefielding. Sometimes good FF makes the biggest difference in protoss play.

Does anyone think Huk could have made it as far as Naniwa did in that run? I honestly don't, but maybe im wrong.

Is violet secretly one of the best ZvTers now? 3-1 over Supernova at IEM and now 2-0 over Ganzi. Both of those guys are among the top 10 TvZers in the world, maybe even top 5 and violet smoked them.

RAGINNGGG SO hard at my computer screen right now. After that run Naniwa just pulled through the losers bracket, killings so many of the top5 zergs in the world. Getting revenge on Leenock, and owning Nestea proving he is once and for all truly the better player.


.....After all that he loses to DRG, albeit the best zerg in the world BY FAR better than Nestea or leenock, but Nani had beaten him before and I really thought he could do it. AND HE COULD DO IT. He's DONE IT.

But DRG knew this and so what does he do? 6POOLS and ALL INS...... WOWWWWWWWWWWWW SO fucking disappointed you all have no idea. Naniwa was always one of my favorite players before he even won MLG and watching his meteoric rise to being in the Top5 BEST starcraft 2 PLAYERS not protoss.....in the WORLD. Its just so disappointing to hear him go out like that, so glad I was watching Huk - OZ when it happened or I woulda been way more rage induced right now.

Nani and Huk both equally have all my hope behind them. They're by far my two most revered players so at least I still have one of my beloveds hahah still in there. But damnit man, Naniwa I want you to start winning these tournaments. Huk's won like 3 if you count HomestoryCup..... But Naniwa man you have it in you. You can win a GSL. You can win an MLG (yea he did already but that was b4 they were REAL MLG's). You just need to have that little bit of luck on your side is all.


THANK YOU MLG. 20 DOLLARS SOOOOOOO WELL WORTH SPENT. I never raged about you charging us but I did say it should be lowered to 10. I still think 20 is a bit too much for 1 weekend honestly regardless of how great it is simply because I cant be shelling out 20 dollars every month or 2 months or whatever it is on top of the MLG Gold I want to purchase sometime soon. Just hard to save up for stuff I actually really need like new comp, a car, and eventually move out on my own.
So if you could make it 10 I guarantee you would make more money cause way more than double the people would actually buy it. Or maybe not, maybe I'm wrong and people will pay 20 no matter what. But I still think its too much even if it was worth it. I know that doesn't make sense but I think it would be better cheaper so it could reach a wider audience.


LONG LIVE MLG!!!!!!!!!! LONG LIVE HUK!!!!!!!!!! LONG LIVE GRUBBY!!!!!!!!!! LONG LIVE DEMUSLIM!!!!!!! /checksbracket for Grubby's and demuslims' next opponent......

But DRG is heavily favored against all the players left..so I think it evens out the extended series disadvantage.

The amount of bias in your post is astounding. How, does Naniwa prove to be a BETTER player than Nestea when he couldn't get past 1st round of Code A three times in a row while Nestea winning several of them? It's not like Nestea has been slumping for a long time, he was doing OK even in the current season of GSL. How can you say X beat Y so X is better than Y? It's not how it works.
And you conveniently ignored the fact that DRG beat Naniwa convincingly in a standard game in game 1. DRG was not in danger any time in that game, and just crushed Naniwa when muta's out.
And Naniwa was not and is not the TOP 5 player in the world. I don't know if he could be that good in the future, he certainly is not at the moment. No foreigner is a top 5 player in the world at the moment. Stephano is the closest one though.
And no. Naniwa needs more than a bit luck to win GSL. If he doesn't work out some more strategy than FFE, he will never pass 1st round Code A.
