We at Up Close Gamers have been in Korea staying at the StarTale house for a few days now, we headed down to the media event which is normally only for Korean press only, well we were very lucky to be allowed to film during the press event and have some great videos to share with you.
We have a video containing all the questions asked to Stephano and NaNiwa during the conference, that delves into the NaNiwa vs NesTea situation and Stephano plays it cool.
Interview with Stephano before the games - HERE
"I won't say it is difficult, it is useful, playing on European ladder is like having fun, you don't have a lot of challenge, on [Korean] ladder you meet good players"
Press conference with NaNiwa and Stephano - NaNiwa tells NesTea to relax - HERE
NaNiwa to NesTea - "I just want to tell NesTea to stop being so angry, should relax a bit more" Watch the full conference to hear NesTea reply!
Stephano talking about who he does not want to play - "I think all the players in my group are really scary and I am not wanting to play anyone but I have to if I want to win"

Naniwa should really stop pushing NesTeA's buttons

No, if anything he should keep pushing them because he needs to make sure he's in Nestea's head for their game in 7 hours to increase his chance of winning.

James you are the man! Really love all of the work you and UpClose are doing with all of this coverage of players and events. Can't wait for the next great piece! :D

I like the ongoing Naniwa-NesTea rivalry, but if Nestea just stomps him tomorrow he's going to look foolish.

Meh, nestea answered "I good" at the end which I understand as "no problem" because in the tl interviews he said
The stuff at MLG, that's in the past. I don't care about that now.

let's go naniwa! rooting for you tonight 
|
He's probably just playing it up for the fans. Why not? Get's people talking about both of them.Any exposure is good exposure (to a certain degree).
|

More than one word out of Naniwa? Wow that media training is paying dividends....
Oh ya I forgot Naniwa cheated...

The awkwardacity of Naniwa's answers. I love it.
|
Best quote of the interview Naniwa: "Why would I say that" in reference to what style he will play.
|
My favorite part is DRG grinning at the answers.
|
Awesome content! Love both these players.
|
Does the title really have to be something that encourages flame-baiting? I feel like if you're trying to grow e-sports journalism you shouldn't be emulating sensationalist tabloids so much in grabbing quotes out of context.
|
Thanks for the coverage guys! Great interview and pictures.
|
Dam since when did Naniwa get skinny and cute?
|
I just started to hear about UCG - how long have you guys been around? I like your content so far.
