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"


Don't forget to subscribe to our youtube for more exciting, exclusive and original content.

Check out some of the pictures from yesterday, you can see more content from Blizzard cup day 1 HERE.

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.

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.

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).

Best quote of the interview Naniwa: "Why would I say that" in reference to what style he will play.

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.
