I'm Swedish and I would love for naniwa to do well but totally reforming your opinion of a guy based on one mediocre interview and a 26-2 score like a lot of you have is a bit hasty given his incredible BM history. Would be interesting to hear his background etc. people don't just act out like he has for no reason at all, there must be some reason(s).

Edit: OH and I love how he says that Idra doesn't give a fuckin when his application video to the NASL wasn't even rotated probably, total baller imo.

Naniwa not giving a fuck:

Naniwa is the name of Sendos gym if I remember correctly. Sendo of course being the coolest character in the series.

*edit* I googled the name and Naniwa is actually the old name of the city Osaka where Sendo comes from. I guess his gym is named after the city.

I love how they make a point to say he mentions IdrA in the interview synopsis in order to generate more hype and viewership.

To be honest, if you're judging how much somebody gives a fuck by their NASL application video, Idra's wasn't any better at all.

While Protoss imbalance is debatable, Protoss is definitely not weak. Naniwa really has zero ground to whine about imbalance right now, so I would wait before people declare he has changed.

Oh, I always thought his ID was just japanese for "what" but maybe it's because people tend to shorten it "nani".

Awesome anyway, he seems like a nice guy from the interview & he is protoss.

I really love how much the players enjoy Western audiences, I think that will be the key to feeding a virtuous cycle for esports.

How did you get him whining about anything in that interview? The only whining I've read so far are in this thread by people who are butthurt about how he used to act 5 years ago in a game they probably never played.

I'm sure a quick 5 minute search would lead you to those reasons, pal. I'm not going to keep brining up his personal business but I assure you it's all over this site.

Impressive streak, but the childish antics seen in IEM, ESL, and now the NASL is getting ridiculous. telling an opponent you can't play because you need to sleep, then you immediately start laddering? Show some class dude.
Why appeal to God when you can appeal to Apaches?

I read that his match today will be a walkover for strelok. Similar reasons to why he was booted from IEM. Late reschedules and things like that. He got back from Dreamhack, told Strelok he needed sleep and didn't want to play. Strelok was upset but seemed he'd agree to reschedule later. Naniwa then immediately started laddering. Shows no respect for the tournament, the organizers, or the players at all.

This. So much for maturing. Professional gamers should act as such. If he needed to sleep after DH (not even sure why he went, he didn't play) then that's fine. But he lied to the tournament organizers. He's lucky he only got the W/O.

I'm not getting into a war about this but you should really hear both sides of a story before you judge a situation or event. Also everything you read on the internet is not true.
