So what if he hasn't met him? I haven't met Naniwa in person, I can still have an opinion of him based on what I see. If he doesn't like it maybe he should change his behaviour. | ||

If you dont understand the issue with one country completely dominating a sport are retarded beyond believe. Yeah lets just take the best country and make only those compete in the olympics. So then we only have Chines competing. I am sure that the number of viewers wont move at all.. Really why do I even respond to this... | ||

some people hate his attitude so much it spills over into their assessment of his skill. Do I think naniwa is good? Of course. Do I think he is a prick? Hell yes. it's one thing to be joke-bm like mc but naniwa is just bm. | ||

When sitting in the booth he was twitching and moving around ridiculously fast (compared to DRG who was barely moving at all). I got the impression that his mind was completely racing. Considering his cerebral style of play, maybe he is just a more introverted and intellectual type of guy who doesn't value things like propping up some superficial image of himself. I kinda respect that. Maybe he was just nervous. | ||

But if he says things like "I don't think X player is good," he'll get blasted for it, but if MVP said something like "I don't think X player is good" everyone would nod and say "oh MVP saying it like it is, well done." but oh well, it's all perspective. I like Naniwa because he's honest, he doesn't have any of the false images that other people (not necessarily SC2, just any kind of celebrity) have, which is an advantage of SC2 (not mainstream = not influenced by media/PR nearly as much). Koreans don't do that because their culture is different, which is another reason Nani stands out. | ||

Course it does not matter for the ûber hardcore, but those are only a small percentage out of the potential SC2 audience. Not really? Until very recently the fighting game scene was dominated by Japanese players and that scene is around 25 years old now. Just this past weekend EVO had absolutely amazing viewership numbers, so it's still popular. Koreans can dominate SC2 forever and as long as SC2 itself is interesting it'll be alive. I don't want someone to win GSL just because they're a foreigner, I want someone to win GSL because they're the best player, or one of the best players. When non-Koreans get to that point it'll be amazing, but I'm not going to cheer for a guy just because he's a foreigner over someone who can realistically win the whole tournament. | ||

Yeah that's certainly possible. Still, I don't think I have ever fidgeted that much or that quickly in my life. | ||

On July 12 2012 21:27 vthree wrote: I think it has to do with the design of sc2, it just has more randomness it seems and the meta game changes are quicker. In BW, mechanics was so important that someone with a slight mechanics advantage had a huge impact. And remember there are a lot more big tournaments now so you see the top player losing more. But if DRG wins this GSL, it would be 2 out of 3. This has more to do with how new and undeveloped sc2 is. A few month ago people said "build ultralisks to lose when you are ahead", then a wild stephano appeared and his ultralisks were super effective... and suddenly the Zerg style of all Zergs (except for some reason NesTea) completely changed. If there wouldn't be an expansion coming, this would stabilize over time, but until a year after LotV i doubt we'll see a stable metagame and unbeatable bonj... *cough* sorry, stars. | ||
