Naniwa is like a random skill generator. He has the potential of 1000 skill when the average is 500 but he can also roll a 50.

I for sure never know what to expect from him when he is attending an event.

Racist, right..


So what would you call people closing stream just because the last non Korean getting knocked out? Oh wait IDC what nonsense you come up with, too busy eating the tears!! YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMY!!! :D :D :D


...oookay.

Well anyway I don't actually care that there are no foreigners left. But I can see why people do; it's just a fact that Koreans are often less interesting outside of gameplay. In terms of storyline it's better for a lot of people to have at least one 'foreigner hope'. Tournaments are about storylines for a lot of viewers, and if the underdog Korean-titan killing foreigner story that interests them most then who are you to call people 'racists'.

*ahem*

LOLOLOL TROLOLOLOL XDXDXDXD


They want a story? How about this.
Crank gets injury and has to leave slayers. He interacts with fans and tries hard to learn English for them. His call is heard and is personally sponsored by Total Bisuit to come to mlg. He fights his way from the bottom of the open bracket and takes down many high tier players. He makes it all the way to the final loser bracket in day2 gaining many fans who probably haven't even heard of him before. Now that he just got knocked out, I could maybe understand people closing the stream because his story has come to an end. But wait, he is Korean so nvm.


LoL, this is really true, i saw how hard he was trying to interact and i really wanted him to do well. Sad that its over, but he'll be in the next mlg.

Well SortOf might've taken top 16 ^^

Or MVP, MMA and DRG. It's just lacking in star quality IMO, especially with Taeja under performing it seems.

Uhm, is liquipedia right? Do violet/hero drop on their site the bracket. I thought they want to avoid extended series


Liquipedia is right. The Championship Bracket is actually 2 separate brackets, and semifinals are finals of each bracket.

Why can't there be a middle ground, people? I mean, I love seeing foreigners challenge Koreans, because it's the classic underdog tale. No one can argue that foreigners on average are better or even as good as Koreans. So it's exciting and makes for a good story in a tournament. But on the other hand, when there are only Koreans left, odds are you're going to get really good matches. The narrative/personality aspects are one thing, the gameplay another. Both can be wonderful and entertaining!



not sure if serious......

There are two parts of that sentence, man. No one can argue = It is impossible for anyone to claim that foreigners are better... Or I just suck at English.


Hmm, this is how I read it as well, but thinking about it I think "no one can argue that" is a phrase that's used to stress the exact opposite. I think.

Maybe it was a misuse of English on his part though.


Can't believe so many people think he's saying that foreigners are better than Koreans. Can't you guys read? It's totally obvious that he's saying that no one would ever say that.

Well have you even been wathcing this tournament?


oh hmm, I guess I can see why that's confusing
"argue" here means "support," rather than "oppose" here

Haha. Idd, I don't think there's anyone else in SC2 that is as varied as him.

Edit: Also, has anyone noticed that Naniwa slumps everytime he comes back to Sweden?

Naniwa seems to not be on top of his game atm, he went straight out of a tournament recently for example (forgot name).

Yeah, Nani doesnt look so well lately, hopefully he'll manage to get back in form for Code S. Nerchio on the other hand look really strong and proved he could be up there with the Koreans.
