Nice interview, I hope Naniwa becomes the most manner player out there (2nd to white-ra!), then I would love him! =)

IdrA needs to learn this:
"A single negative thought is what gets you hit in the face." - Ray Mancini.

All pro athletes are drilled by psychologists these days to have none and that's all IdrA has.


Nani is obviously more successful with new attitude and sportsmanship.

Naniwa sure likes to be honest ^^

I hope Naniwa will be able to qualify for the next GSL World Championship.

Naniwa almost seems like a totally different person compared to like say 8 months ago. Im very happy considering I always thought he was a great player but his attitude was holding him back. So far he seems to have overcome this.

Nice interview Slasher. The guy really tries his hardest to show he deserves to be up there. Hope he starts getting more invites to big tournaments, he's really a top Euro player, top in the world as well.

Great interview, I would love to see him be able to participate in Korea. With how well he has been performing and with the Sweden tournament thats going on now, I think he has a great chance to make his dream come true.

He believes that the games balanced right now, of course - he plays protoss.
Not taking away from hs accomplishment of the interview, just commentating.

Can't you guys ever stop nagging? This truly is the bane of the SC2 community.

Well, you probably shouldn't. All this balance whining is really detracting from the community.

I'm really happy for Naniwa, and I hope he is able to continue to keep his composure/maturity level. I'm glad he at least cares to say he cares. I feel like many people in the SC2 (and gaming community in general) forget that many of these players started out as – and in many cases still are – just kids.

Fantastic interview.
Naniwa never fails to deliver, I really like the fact that he sometimes just put things so bluntly.
Being really honest in his answers.

Keep up the good work!

Is Sheth's ZvP really that good?

First Artosis makes that statement on the last SoTG, and now Naniwa says he was concerned about facing him as well.

I should go have a look at some replays/vods. :o

Let's just say it has nothing to do with Naniwa's attitude.

This was a really good interview, he seems to have made a pretty big change in his mental game for the better. I remember during the beta him always raging during games.

Good luck in the future to him, this attitude will help him go far

Brilliant interview. I can forsee that beating Naniwa at any event he turns up for in the future is going to be a very difficult task for any future opponents.

Sheth's ZvP is only second to Sen's imo. Most people don't know him because of that whole "I'm gonna show up to the tourney LOL NO IM NOT" thingie.
