That's about the only thing you could say in Naniwa's favour (except that Naniwa beat Stephano 2-0 at Dreamhack). Aside from that Stephano surpasses Naniwa in all areas. I think Naniwa could win for sure, he certainly wouldn't leave Stephano to build 6 bases, 40 spines and 15 Broods like most EU Protoss do. | ||

Since the Homestory Cup Stephano´s PvsZ and overall his gameplay improved so much, he has the highest pvsz winrate in EU, 74%. Naniwa is for sure not an easy going for stephano, but he will win. I dont know if you know it, but stephano was in korea for a while, maybe 2 months and after 1 months he was a high level grandmaster player there and beat almost every GSL Code S player in ladder. I think he just to strong at the moment, but maybe naniwa will show me the opposite of my predictions ;-) Well will be awesome anyway. | ||

Please don't just make up stuff if your not going to provide sources. He did on ladder...when MC picked Zerg...Not sure if they met after that. | ||

Are you one of the people that count wins only? and dont look at the context of the games? Naniwa is a bit better than 'really good' he did amazing at blizzcup, and almost went through the round-bobin stage, against top class opponenets last 2 mlg's he has played amazing vs koreans. Losing to DRG, who is currently best zvp in the world. This showmatch would be good. Would be way closer than any other showmatch weve had, and of a quality worthy of finals. | ||

Especially Koreans have been saying foreigners are as good as Koreans every interview for the past 18 months, and yet results and common sense say otherwise. MC is 5-0 vs Stephano where as he has a losing record vs DRG. He didn't even mean that anyway, he meant they play the same style of gasless fast three bases which MC said he likes to punish via two base all in's. | ||

He is referring to MC's interview during IEM, and it's unclear whether MC meant skill level or play style, because the question was about violet being aggressive and preferring gas openings over 3hatch openins, so I think he was referring to play style rather than total skill. But it's translation who knows. Interview right aftter 3-0ing zenio. | ||

U took MC and Naniwa on the same Level, dudes wake up, MC is MC and Naniwa is Naniwa, it doesnt matter at all. 5-0 MC vs Stephano has nothing to do with Naniwa. Naniwa was able to beat Nestae serveral times, but Nestea isnt Stephano, both has differnt gamestyles... You think that u can messed up skills by results of totaly differnt players? thats just stupid sorry. naniwa is strong, stephano is strong and pvsz is stephanos best matchup... so would be awesome to see that match. i give naniwa 1 map, rest will win stephano ;-) Edit: sorry my english isnt good at all, but i give my best, that you all understand what i mean. | ||

Close loss in a gun fight? You're still dead. Close loss in an argument with your wife? You're still wrong. Close loss in the lottery? You're still poor. Close loss in StarCraft? You're still a loser. | ||

They could prolly make all the money back on ads...everyone is gonna watch that ^_^ So who's gonna win? You might as well ask: Can Stephano hold a varity of fancy pancy two base all ins? Yes? Well then Stephano is going to win! ;> | ||
