Everyone I cheered for lost this RO8 Naniwa vs DRG was such a close series. Naniwa is improving so much every season.

this 'new' build of naniwa was just a thing that works vs DRG but actually isn't that good. DRG just adapted afterwards and went no lings at all. It's also without scouting at all with various risks to that. It's not a good build for ladder especially if everyone is suddenly going to try it and zergs throw in some random roach aggression etc

wtf. sigh. They are both very skilled players. Anyone that tries to deny this needs just stop it now...


I have my opinion, you have yours. I respect a player who earned his way into Code S more than someone given a welfare seed.

Things turned out the way the should have.


Naniwa himself says he doesn't think that people should be given free invites. But unlike every foreigner seed (sen, idra), naniwa actually wins.

I don't like naniwa, but he is being respectful to the GSL by working hard and winning.


As far as i see it, someone who wins in Code S deserves to be in Code S, no matter how he got there.

Because DRG is awesome, he is the best zerg on the world and his interviews are the shit?
Seriously, there are people like me who like players, not nationalities.

Exactly. And DRG is much more likeable IMO!

I agree he works extremely hard, an insane amount even by korean standards. He has more than proven himself

Terrible games by naniwa, losing cause of shitty control, it should have been 3-1. in Game 2 and 3 he made such basic mistakes as having move comanded army in line of spines and fungles, and let his army split in to two while walking towards the push losing 3 stalkers and a sentury. horrible games compared to last night


Is that supposed to be a joke? You must be an idiot. He just went to a close game 5 against DRG and Naniwa's control was anything but terrible. Like... what the fuck. Are you blind?

You know DRG got seeded too?


People have short term memories

Short term memories lead to hilarious situations like these, though


"A couple of days after this event, DRG finally qualified for the 2011 GSL August Code A after many unsuccessful attempts. "

Was more leaning towards that but ok. Success is earned.

This is pretty sad. Lol

I personally don't care who gets seeded, as long as we don't seed like some fan favorite who doesn't belong in the GSL (like Whitera. Just an example, I know he hasn't been.) If they can hang in code S, then they deserve to be there.

I don't understand why a foreigner would want Naniwa to win just because he is a foreigner.
I cheer for whoever is good, foreigner and Koreans both.
I don't quite care which country the player is from.

You are from sweden, so maybe it's ok for you to cheer for naniwa, though.

Uhm do you think the nation is everything that matters to people? Seriously?


Some people do think that. Some people think that everyone thinks watching Koreans win is boring. Most people I know though want to watch the best players, nation doesn't play into it at all. If someone from my country was playing against one of my favorite Korean players ... I'd be cheering for my favorite Korean players. O.o

meh, he should not have tried to go for the 4 gate again within one series. After that he should have known that you cannot attack a zerg with a late 7g timing, burrow simply wrecks it too hard.
Also his scouting failed pretty miserably in that last game.

All in all a decent series, but frankly Naniwa did not deserve to come that close, the only game where he played truly well was game 4.
