Unrelated to the interviews.. I've been noticing that Up Close Gamers has been consistently working to produce an amazing quality of content, so props to them and I hope it pays off for them.
Back off man, I'm a scientist.

wtf is nefarious about the title? It's a quote and it's an interesting one, that's what you generally put before interviews, if you want people to listen to them.

Naniwa could not have given more inappropiate answers even if he tried, lol. "Its just another tournament" and "it doesnt matter if I win".

Even if he feels thats the case its just so unprofesional to answer like that.

whoever doubts naniwa is a very smart strategical person - i feel sorry for you. The only thing here naniwa is bad at is his english.

I don't know about 'insight' per se. He seems a bit confused why it's ok for others to thumbs-down but there was a giant shitstorm when he did it and I kinda agree with him.

Actually he adds that it's Code S he wants and trains for, so it's Code S he really want, nothing else matters because without Code S he can't be the best player in the world.
Makes sense to me. Maybe not the best answer, but not that aweful if you just listen to everything.

I'm guessing you never watch any news? Everyone does it. There is no point not writing a sensationalist title if the only thing its going to do is bring a couple of extra people to watch it. Not very many people care about it, because it isn't an issue.
