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.


bo1 and a build order win is outclassing now?



Are you suggesting MVP isn't better than Stephano? o.O

Why do people see everything in black and white, lmao. I don't see in what way he outclassed stephano. Mvp came prepared with the better build and got a nice early advantage with the fake 2rax pressure. Better player won for sure, why does that have to mean he outclassed his opponent?

Don't take it to heart when you see these clueless 'outclassed' comments. It's due to people watching GSL and tasteless calling people outclassed left and right, and, well, monkey see, monkey do =)

he's smart, once all the big koreans switch the sc2 climate will be very different and almost impossible for a foreigner to compete, make money while you can


Lets hope that doesnt happen. Destiny is going to Korea he will be bonjovi in 2012.

Or maybe he is mature enough to prepare a real future for him with studies... Stephano didn't know Grubby while he was pro on wc3, but he would be afraid of possible bw formers ?

Wooow really nice interviews!

Omfg I can only dream of the Grand Final with NaNiwa vs. NesTea - it would be so freaking sick.

NANIWA FIGHTING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

NesTea is really cool and great too!

i really dont understand why stephano would quit

The guy has an open spot in Med school waiting for him, it would be kinda dumb for him to turn that down in favor of something as volatile as Starcraft.


It's not the way it works for med school in France, you don't get a "spot". You start "med school" right after high school, anyone can register but you have a really hard competitive exam at the end of the first year (1 of 10 succeeds or something like that).
The longer he waits the harder it will get, but given his competitive nature it shouldn't be a problem to get into medschool.
I actually that it's a really smart thing to do, he can enjoy his time as a progamer 100% , doesn't have to worry about his future and will be able to get a job he likes (not everybody wants to become a commentator / manager etc).

Great interview by the way, nice to see that Nestea decided to not talk anymore of the "pausing incident" :p.

Haha I hope Nani reads this before his games today... though I'm sure he's already thinking about early game defense vs leenock anyway.

Interesting to see that Naniwa and Stephano don't really trust the Koreans/can't get practice time with them. I also remember IdrA saying that when he lived in Korea, 99% of his practice was on ladder. Then of course there's the BW history of this type of thing. I wouldn't mind hearing names of which Koreans are sharing replays or refusing to practice with foreigners living in their house as it's pretty shameful.


May just beat a time / team thing

SlayerS seems to be getting along very well with EG, especially Puma, and they like to play around with hku/idra when they stream.

I'm a terran player so I'm rooting for MVP, but Leenock is such a nice person - he's my second favorite!

Thanks a lot for the interviews, good read!

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.


Stephano's the one who said that he couldn't trust the Koreans. I don't even know how you could make the mistake that Naniwa said it..

Good interviews, but am I the only one bothered by Stephano's blatant lack of actual interest in the game/pro-gaming? Not gonna be sad to see him go.

Don't know who's more cut and dry: Nani or Steph.

NaNiwa also said in an interview that he prefers to live in South-Korea more than Sweden. The inverview from when he joined coL. So i doubt he has any problems with the koreans.

You can really tell the player's maturity (in age) between Nestea and Leenock's interview responses.
That being said, I wish Nestea would've said, "I'm gonna play serious and roll everyone else over"

Very disappointed by the MVP team here :/ Basically he's a foreigner so he doesn't deserve to play with them, I really didn't had this image of them. Insta fan to antifan of MVP. (obviously Nani could exaggerate or there could be another side to this story)
