No I'm sure he doesn't feel the pressure of either advancing to Premier or losing and having to go through a grueling set of qualifiers again next season, nor any pressure over the fact that he's playing (arguably) one of the biggest matches of his life against Europe's best player.
Nah, why would he feel any stress?

...not sure if serious.
He obviously wants to get to Premier, that would put a lot of stress on him.

But that works for some players I thought?

I was just kidding because Pengwin said Naniwa was the best foreigner. Bitcoins say so, so I agree, just poking fun.

So you say when a little team from the 6th division plays a 1st divison team in a football cup, the little team has a lot of stress on them, because if they lose, they'll have to wait a whole year to compete again, and hell, it's a 1st divison star league!
No, not at all. They are happy to play against said team, and utterly proud of themselves to make it this far (because a 6th division team needs to beat higher ones to meet a 1st division one), and if they lose it's expected, if they manage to get a draw (that's a close series if you translate my analogy to SC language) then their city will make a statue for the team, and if they win, well... you better avoid said city for the next few days.
No pressure, and he failed, but he was already a winner getting through his bracket, so he shouldn't be ashamed or anything, but me, the viewer has the right to bash on him, because these games were awful to watch, and I have no idea why it had to be a BO3.

Has nothing to do with bitcoins though. The show-match was a nice bonus to the argument, but the fact that Naniwa made more Premier Finals, more Premier semi-finals, more WCS points and more money last year should have ended the discussion before the showmatch even started.

I guess this must have been asked a thousand times before, or at least it should have...but could someone give me a reason as to why i shouldnt go out and riot against this format? Either i do not understand something, either this is the msot nonsensical, bullshitty, reasonless code a/challenger format i have ever seen.

This isn't football. As Wolf often says, a loss here could be the same as the end of his career. Just look at Titan. He himself said that if he hadn't made it into premier, he would have stoped being a professional player and just turned it into a hobby on the side while studying.

But I thought it was all about the bitcoins?

1 thing to add before anyone point it out, he earned more than Scarlett even if you remove the $35k he won from >Swedish tournaments.
