People need to get over this whole... "OMG BUT NANIWA DOMINATED MLG." Yes he had an amazing performance at MLG and congratulations to him. This is something that has been in the works for awhile so Nani's MLG performance came after all things were decided. In addition, Nani has had a bad reputation in the past and although he has been behaving better, he does still bm. In addition, I don't think TLO wants to live with someone who has shown that they are very temperamental. Finally, even if things are perfectly translated there are things lost from words to text and language to language.

Who cares?

Have you guys tried to explain BM to friends who don't play Starcraft? All my friends gamers or not think I'm ABSOLUTELY RETARDED for even mentioning that a player was rude. BM is good for Starcraft, lets create more rivalries! Let the team's fans get all worked up just like in traditional sports.

I don't know, Nani is getting alot of heat for "accusing" TLO for not liking him, but saying "i don't think he likes me" doesn't really feel like an accusation. Everyone could understand why TLO doesn't like Nani and I highly doubt nani intended called TLO out at all. He wasn't like "TLO is an ass because he's a dick to me" or anything. Just a sincere expression how he felt TLO felt about him.

I think that if he continues to mature, be less angry and get over his BM he could be a really respectable player. Naniwa fighting i suppose

My fav was the short interview with him at MLG

He had cameras on him
Not his native language

You can't blame him for keeping it short.

You also read a transcribed verion...

You don't have to read the autographed version to note that Nani called out TLO in an interview, of which he has only hearsay about the situation. This is not a lack of tact, it is very, very poor.

If you have a problem with someone, you go to them, not the world.

I feel really bad for Naniwa. He was forced out of his house because he played warcraft so much, dropped out of school, and now so many people hate him he's like the one kid left out

.

I dunno, he might have anger issues, but I feel like he's not really a bad person, just a product of circumstances and those circumstances building on more circumstances.

Oh well. At least he still plays videogames for a living

Having been on 6 different teams since the release of StarCraft 2 does require some skill.

With that said I really like this interview. It was honest and up front. I don't think less of Naniwa for mentioning the team house issue in the interview, nor do I think less of TLO for possibly not wanting to share an apartment with a certain person.

Haha TLO saying Naniwa is bad PR. And then Naniwa saying he understands him :p

Despite the bad PR i reckon Naniwa would be an insane practice partner to have; also i think he has calmed down a lot lately.

Thanks for the translation!!

I think nani would be perfect for any top level house. He has no other choice but esport so he works the hardest which makes him one of the best. nani hasn't even been bming at all ever since he joined dignitas

In SC2, skill comes first and foremost imoho. Of course personality and other traits is helpful too. Both in terms of getting fans and promoting eSports. But in the end, I wouldn't respect MC the way I do if it wasn't for that he had the skills to back up his claims and behavior. He's the best so it's okay for him to be honest about it.

Eh, anyway..can't really force them to live together with the guy. Gotta be some other reasons than just bad PR though.

Aww, common, I'm not TLO's biggest fan here but we're basing TLO's supposed "BM" on what Naniwa thinks might be a reason. It might be true, but even nani doesn't know, he's just speculating.

If they don't get along, they shouldn't live together. A Swedish house would be awesome though.
