I care. I mean if I wanted to watch story lines with a vague connection to competitive spirit, I'd watch pro-wrestling.

So your calling Naniwa bad? Yes Dear won the GSL, but Naniwa has aswell had some success in the league, while also having multiple international top finishes. Also, I believe he alerady beat Dear offline.

Naniwa having success in the GSL last year in WoL does not mean he is at the level now. Especially when Kespa hadn't switched yet also. If Naniwa was even close to the level of Dear he would have had no issues in WCS EU and at the very least made it to WCS season 3 finals and not be at home hoping these players lose so he can make it to blizzcon. He plays in the easiest region if he can't make it that's on him


Why do you keep ignoring the fact that Naniwa smashed Dear at MLG Spring?

Jet lag /s


because naniwa lives in the US? :o

No, because Naniwa was at much larger amount of MLGs. Unlike Dear.


Did Dear say he lost because of jet lag or are we playing guessing games?

Did I call him bad?

But it would be apparently be worse to have him at Blizzcon? Not saying you said it, but I somehow interpreted it that way


you're not watching storylines ? It just adds to the hype of the matches. Not to mention having at least one person competing who doesn't need a translator to speak to the interviewers and audience would be nice. You're welcome to your own opinion but you might want to realize that there's people out there that actually want NaNiwa to go to blizzcon. I like Dear I hope he makes it, but I'd like to see a foreigner in the top16 as well.

Polt and MC both don't need a translator. And who cares if they do. If they are the best they should be there

the competitive level of play in NA and europe is the issue, who ends up at blizzcon is totally irrelevant imo

in fact you could argue that one foreigner making it and just being washed out in the first round would look even worse on the scene

Slightly inconsistent, but his top lvl is definately not far behind Dears.. maybe we should w8 and see, but right now naniwa has come out ahead

Kind of like this season finals

except Naniwa is much better than Vortix and has a chance to win a round at Blizzcon, well maybe, it depends on who he faces. if he comes in with 15th seed he might hit jaedong in round 1.

Just no. Dear's top level is winning WCS KR, Naniwa never did that even when the level there was lower.

Jet lag is often know to cause you to lose to your opponent scouting what you're doing and countering it.

I'd say the psychological and viewership impact is a big one but hey, what do I know.
