No, it was ballsy because it was a fucking proxy in the deciding game


If it was the other way round everyone would be moaning at the cheese instead of wanking over how 'ballsy' and 'innovative' it was. Cheese is cheese. Well done Naniwa it worked but let's not overhype it. Naniwa didn't trust his ability to take on HyuN in a normal game so he cheesed. And it worked.


so bitter... curious how you explain the 2 wins before the ballsy cheese :D


How to explain it? It was excellent play by NaNiwa and some excellent forcefields. I'm not doubting Naniwa's ability, if it weren't for Scarlett he'd be the best foreigner. He is very good and has had a good tournament. I just don't like him as a person. He has bad sportsmanship.

Or Naniwa realized that the best way to win was to punish Hyuns greed. theres the jaundiced way to look at it (yours) and there is giving credit where credit is due.

I never liked Nani's personality, but this kid is sickly good and I loved that series. Great play, mentally unshakable.

"I am not the kind of player that gets affected by a loss"

how could Naniwa of all people say this he is almost as tilty as Idra


It's a slim difference, but it's not the losses that affect Naniwa - it's the things around the losses. If he loses from a position he feels like he should have won from, he tilts. If he loses due to being outplayed or being in a bad position due to inferior build orders, he doesn't.


Explain to me Leenock vs Naniwa in MLG 2011 please


Naniwa sucked

Yes, it's an italian name from Tuscany most probably. He most certainly has italian roots.

After all one thing I hate about Starcraft 2 competitve play is that the coinflip seems to be there pretty much always. As the players will always either do a very greedy macro build which will die to a aggressive cheese, but will be ahead of any safe opener while at the same time the safe opener will be ahead of the aggressive cheese. I always wonder if this slight margin in the early game is really worth it but it seems like it is and this makes early game a coin flip scenario after all.

I would have loved to see the reaction should the players have been reversed


Really? Sure, Naniwa is the fan favourite as the foreign hope, but Hyun is pretty damn badass. Had he 6-pooled I'm sure there'd be a lot of praise for a ballsy and clutch decision.

hyun did a blind baneling all in against DRG yesterday, and everyone applauded him for his briliant strategy and mindgaming.

people LOVE build order wins, they love balls.

personally I just get pissed off at players who insist on builds that are so vulnerable to build order loss. hyun, why?
