do you really think koreans need to "earn" their spot when almost every of them wouldend up in ro8 at least?

Inviting the best players to compete at your foreign tournament isn't a charity spot.

Shouldn't be. He's an esports journalist on an unaffiliated site but he's certainly entitled to his own opinion.

DraMawa? :p

Ethan Ahn sounds like he just doing some attention whoring in an effort to gain fans.
Haters gon' hate.

Seems to have a real bone to pick with naniwa, said that he was going to refuse to interview him after the game. Meh.
In the end, this journalist looks a lot more unprofessional than Naniwa in Blizzard cup. But, maybe naniwa killed his kitten, who knows ?

All of twitter is unnecessary. The sole reason for its existence is for people to find more drama if they look hard enough.

You know, the tissue things. I don't know, but even in these TvP's Mvp's control has been a lot slower.
It wasn't slower.. he just wasn't stimmed.. LOL. How do you not notice this?

Imagine all the hate Ryung/Puzzle is going to get losing to NaNiWa from the korean community. Mvp should have this.

I can't believe that I missed the games after Puzzle was 1-0 against Nani...

Naniwa's well on his way to the Ro8 as well, don't you think?

No need for anyone to create drama. Let journalists do what they want, Naniwa fans should be perfectly happy with the advancement, which is all that matters. Anyone else who hangs on the story, or non-story if you will, is just trying to be a part of the SC2 drama factory. The less attention given, the better.

Alright this time Mvp is going to crush Ryung so badly, channeling all fanboy energy into him now :0!
|
Nice to see MVP get the win vs Puzzle but man, the regame vs Ryung may be just too hard.
On other note I think that some people would give Nani credit only if he went along these lines:
GomTV: Hey, you just won a Code-S invite. Come and play!
Nani: Yeah, ok but one condition...
GomTV: Uhm??
Nani: I need a proper group, so that ppl wouldn't bash me on TL.
GomTV: Ooookey...
Nani: Great! So... give me Parting, MKP and Leenock in Ro32.
Lets say they do it. Nani advences 2-0...
TL: FU, he won only cause he chose his opponents himself. He would get knocked out of any other group, stupid noob!

Get mad at Naniwa for being unprofessional in a tournament, be unprofessional by refusing to interview him. Sure, makes sense.

I liked CoCa's sweater (they showed a shot of some observing SlayerS players after Puzzle went down 0-2 to Mvp).
|
What's the name of the song in GSL now? never give up, never give in ....
|
NANIWAAAA!!!! Congrats!!! So happy :D great to wake up to :DDD

Lol I hope his little proud moment was worth the damage he's done to his rep
