Whether you like it or not, it's summed up by :

"Naniwa was better than Genius in this serie".

Or if you like to point out the fact that it wasn't due to a stellar play from Nani "Genius was worse than Naniwa in this serie".

Whatever, the result is the same. Go on.

So much hate.

In the end it doesn't matter if you're lucky, someone is having a bad day, build order loses or anything else you want bring up.

Its about winning the game. This is especially true for pro players, if they don't win who is going to pay the next bill, meal and rent.

Imo, someone who forgets thermal lance in PvP deserves to lose no matter what.

Double round of 8s. I'm not a fan, never was, but Naniwa is more than legit. Gratz!

Feel sorry for genius, this hurts his team-search prospects.


It really doesn't all that much. He made a really trivial dumb error that isn't really attributable to his gameplay, moreso than him ditzing out in that last game. He's shown enough composure to do well in the GSL finals so while composure is a concern for him, as this is the second time he's forgotten range in a major match, I would say that by and large he keeps himself pretty cool in the booth. He also has good strategic gamesense and is very good at preparing for individual match-ups.


The way I see it, Genius is a solid mid-tier Code S player capable of being high-tier when he's at the top of his form, and when virtually everyone in Code A and even Code B have teams, Genius could have finished last place in his group and still will have no trouble finding a team.


For sure, I don't think it's about him finding "a team" so much as him holding out trying to get on a premium team with premium teammates for practice (such as IM, or even TSL), and perhaps negotiating a higher price. While obviously going to the Ro8 is a lot better I don't think people think Genius is no longer "champion material".

Did Genius really forget Thermal Lance? I just rewatched the engagement, but I'm really bad at telling whether they have range or not. :/

Guess Genius needs to practice some more ^^

Edit: taken form Khaldor's twitter.


More like Naniwa got knocked out early and was sitting behind him watching all his PvP builds. Pretty grimy if you ask me, but that's just how Naniwa is. I am surprised he has so many fans but it makes sense because most people wouldn't be his fan if he wasn't winning.

Come on now, I can understand if you're not a fan, but this...
have some dignity please


You thinks that's respectful? Right before your code S match you go and sit directly behind the person you are facing and watch how he plays? Of course genius is going to be using the same builds as Code S because he is trying to qualify for OSL. It's disgusting.


I think this might be the stupidest thing I've ever read. It's actually hilarious.

Hahaha, yes Naniwa really is a 'grimy' little sneak. It was probably his plan all along; really it's brilliant in it's intricacies. If only Genius had known that Naniwa was sat there, if only there was some way he could have stopped him..

I don't get all the butt hurt people in here. If your opponent makes a mistake that loses him the match, then it is NOT luck. You simply played better, because you did not make a mistake...sheesh...He did not research Thermal Lance, how can you still expect Genius to win...Genius had multiple blunders, terrible positioning, and bad decision making in the fight...Sure he did some things well, but I don't care how good you macro, mistakes like that are going to get punished at this level, and Naniwa deserved the win.


No it's not, it's pure luck. Absolutely 100% luck.

There is definitely a large part of Sc2 and all sports where if you play really well it makes your opponent look really bad and you can force errors. For example in football if you're a team who presses the ball high up if forces the opposition defence into errors because they are rushed on the ball.

This game was absolutely not one of those situations.

This game was the equivalent of a defender it back to the goalkeepers who then trips on the grass and the ball rolls into the net. There is no skill in that, there is nothing you've done to cause it.

Just like there was no skill on Naniwa's part to make Genius forget Thermal Lance. It was all on Genius. Naniwa lucked out completely in a game he otherwise looked likely to lose.


so butt hurt (LOL). He won when it mattered, by having better positioning in their engagements so his collossi did more damage than Genius' did. That last push in game 3 was beautiful positioning by Naniwa; he had so many archons up front buffering that the moment Genius tried to push in and kill Naniwa's collo, his army clumped and Naniwa mopped it up from there.

I can understand frustration at player you support losing (gogo Hero you got it next time!) but try to remember....being loud and denying everything everyone else says does not make you right.

Watching the vod, Genius did indeed NOT have colossus range.

You can tell from when the second row of colossi starts to shoot.

Genius did not have range, he never got it and thus lost the game.

Like forgetting stim or combat shields for marines.

We're not saying it isn't Genius's fault, in fact, he deserved to lose a game like that for making that mistake; but it wasn't anything that Naniwa had control over, Naniwa didn't initiate any godly strategy or anything to make Genius not upgrade Thermal lance. So some of us are just telling the people going "omgz!! Naniwa godly micro!! so good!!" to chill out, he was literally behind the whole game, and won because of Genius's rookie mistake.


Well, the game was very close. I guess Naniwa was a little bit behind by not by far. Sure Naniwa did win that game thx to Genius not having range, but it is far from certain that Naniwa would have lost to Genius just because of range.

Naniwa had his third more then a minute before Genius and well range is not free either so. Well the point is it was far from decided in either direction.

Dammit this is a live report thread. how dare you make a concise, clear and well reasoned argument that would put a stop to the senseless bickering from pissed off fans
