Edit: Sackings basically sums up my post here:

fail troll/hate on naniwa attempt?


---

Have you got in any custom practice games against specific players for your games?

No, because I don't really trust the Koreans, I was afraid they might share the replays or something like that.

I've never disliked Naniwa, but he's doing a good job of coming off as an unlikable personality. How is this an acceptable thing to say in an interview at all? A simple "No" would suffice, and you can easily add some BS excuse such as "Simply haven't had the opportunity to squeeze in some practice games."

Sure, there may be some issues from moving in with a Korean team from the sounds of his other responses, but with this poor attitude I can't say I am particularly surprised.

I played like s*** basically, I should have won 2-0. I should have won Providence right there, like I should have won TSL long ago. But yeah, I've had two really bad experiences that have cost me a lot of money, so I think now, I know better.

Not only is he unable to give his opponents credit and deserving of their wins over him, he plainly states that the win is for the money as the major motivator. Hard to root for this guy.

LOL, underestimating MVP, we can see what a huge mistake that was

Lol ikr.

Nestea seems determined, hope to see Godtea back in the Group B matches!

I'm glad NesTea is still going to compete in foreign tournaments though.

Stephano said that he does not really trust koreans, not Naniwa. And he say's that he should have 2-0'd Leenock because he is good enough and he knows it. If you played professionally the money would have been your biggest motivation aswell, atleast after the way he was treated by the foreign fans at MLG.

I think that Leenock is going for the ultra- mind game, saying he will go for an early game ending while he takes 4 base

I don't see a problem with what he said about money etc, he is just stating facts, it did cost him a lot of money what else is he mena say? I like the fact that he isn't fake or trying to bullshit anyone, he wants to win money, who doesn't?

Who do you think is the hardest opponent in your group?

I'd say Mvp, but I didn't really see him play... I wasn't really impressed but is everyone saying he is the best Terran in the world, I will trust that.

woot stephano?

MVP just outclassed him.

MVP's startegy was awesome,totally anti-ling style.

I think Leenock says that he's going to rush, so that his opponents think that he's going to macro, when he will in fact be all-inning like crazy. (He will totally roach bust NaNi)

Considering MVP thanked his GF for recording Stephano's stream and showing it to him, it's safe to say it's not just a random BO win. It's more likely MVP planned that game just how it happened. Stephano got rolled there, which is only natural considering we're discussing MVP.

What surprises me is Stephano underestimating him.
