Yeah, 2x Code S Ro8 is nothing


His Top8 finishes were based on excellent play in PvP and PvP...



So what? He has still accomplished more than any other non-korean player in sc2? (maybe only not Jinro)


Erm...Huk?


I thought Idra,Jinro, Nani all had Ro8 GSL Code S runs?

Congrats for Jonny! For the right reasons as well, he played very nicely.


Not particularly. He pretty much just massed up roaches, defended pressure and then maxed on brood lords off of 3 base economy in most of the games.

But that all was thanks to the perfect scouting, he was always checking Naniwa's base so he knew exactly what can he get away with. Excellent play.


It wasn't "excellent play" by any means. His economy was worse most of the time and his micro was seriously lacking. Any mid-masters player can scout and be greedy dependant on their opponent's play. Neither of these players was playing at all well.


Yeh sure.

Oh boy, isn't it easy to say it's easy to play good?

I really don't want to break down a balance discussion but its here anyways. I hope no one takes it as offensive, but lots of Protoss pros are tweeting towards Naniwa backing him up. I really think its time to put Zergs in place, because the time is here that Zerg has learned how to abuse their abilities that much, that it gets too hard if not impossible to fight them on even ground.

I'm not saying you cannot win, but as it once was that it was a lot more effort to win against Terran, now it takes a lot more effort to beat Zerg than to actually win as Zerg. I hope Blizzard steps in before HOTS, but I fear they won't.

Nani shouldn't leave the way he did, as he is a professional yet I can fully understand him. Generally speaking even though we had a PvP final in GSL, you can see Zergs rising left and right... and thats just not about good play. Hopefully next series will be better.

he plays solely based on bad timings and then sits in the middle of the map for 2 minutes before actually attacking. when you play that bad you're supposed to lose.

Naniwa plays 8-10 hours a day in Korea, gets Round of 8 in GSL, then loses to some foreigner rofl

I hate this, the game currently doesnt allow a difference, even if u have a huge skill difference than ur opponent. thats why sc1 is so magical. then again, sc2 is young. hopefully HOTS changes this

Not saying that there is no balance issues but. Jonny is really good even though he has not played alot in offline tournaments.
And NaNiwa got in round of 8 in GSL without single PvZ (2times) if he does well in PvT and PvP coinflip match does not make him good in PvZ. And NaNiwas play on that series was not even that good he did stupid mistakes and had to pay because of them.

Can't see how you guys can cheer him. He is idiot with bad attitude.

They messed up Jonny's flag. He won, so he's British. He's only Scottish if he loses.

Sodium level is pretty high for Nani haha. Tbh it isn't that surprising. Naniwa himself stated he liked GSL style tournaments more where you can prepare for your opponent and Johnnyrecco is a relative new player.
In terms of mechanics and basic skill, Naniwa was never impressive. He is like the prime example for a Protoss who is good at the 1-A deathball style, which nowadays loses against broodlord/infestor.
