JohnnyRecco is the real deal, Naniwa barely won game three and JohnnyRecco just dominated all other games. Pretty impressive. | ||

When he sees them as bad, not only does he have a hard time taking them seriously, but he ALSO doesn't seem to put out the best builds. And this is something seen in many other situations. When other Code S players play in online cups or lower-tier tournaments, we don't see them do the same unbelievably refined, exact builds that we see in Code S. They don't use strategies that they spent weeks perfecting for something other than Code S. And this is something seen not only in Naniwa, but other players too. Naniwa considers himself a code S player first. He will travel to other tournaments, but Code S is the core objective in his career. Its no surprise that he did some really basic, by the book, predictable builds up til now. Lets be honest. If you were a consistent Code S RO8 player and you were playing against someone you've never even heard of, would you be using your PvZ strats you intended to use in code S? I never even heard of this guy. He's playing well, and I agree that Naniwa misread the situation, but I think its a valid point to bring up how code S is played and how that compares to other methods of training. If you're true code S material, you don't need special builds to beat an "average eu gm" player. Naniwa works a lot but in terms of mechanics, I would actually put Jonnyrecco ahead in that regard. And online tours are a lot about pure skill and not that much about mindgames, builds etc. | ||
