uuuufh!
I really hope that Stephano will take this, but you can never know, since it is Nani after all ^^
I really want to see this happen.
People should set up a fundraiser to up the pot with another "neutral" 5k :D just for the lulz

My money would be on Stephano simply because of play styles

Naniwa play really really greedy in the early game to follow up with a really strong 2 base all in.
Stephano's style means he's fucking ACE at holding 2 base all in and doing alot of aggression, and we all know how deadly his roach ling play is

If this happens it will probably happen while they are in the same country anyway, maybe for the same event. I don't think it would be unthinkable for an event organizer to add 5k or so to the prize pool to have the showmatch officially at the event. I'm sure it would attract a ton of viewers. I don't really see why people themselves would want to donate money to Stephano or Naniwa with no return. They are not exactly the most needy of pros. Betting I can understand, and for people outside the US there will almost certainly be action taken on this match from Pinnacle (just as there was for the Stephano vs WhiteRa showmatch). Personally I would probably bet 200EUR or so on Nani if I get even odds or better.

I just think it's funny that Stephano is calling Naniwa a pussy when Stephano is the one that hardly every goes to any events and just sticks with the euro ladder.

LOL.
You know there are events out of the USA
Stephano went to more events in 2012 than Naniwa

Overall they are pretty even, I'm not sure Naniwa's tricks would work as well against Stephano than against Lennock and Nestea.
But Stephano sure misses experience against world class toss.


what are you on about? hes not american hes europeans and european tournamenets mean more to europeans then the american ones do.... Sponser wise...

Hell you just said it yourslef MLG has been on two weelends of a european big lan too... perhpas he would of gone to those events if they were on sepereate weekends...


Don't understand anything you're saying. You must confuse something.


quoted wrong poster haha. sorry

I'm wondering about the amount of aggression in this thread and the heavily biased opinions.
This is impossible to to predict.
Play it out, but please, not for 5000 Euro from your own pocket, that's a irresponsible message for the community. I'm seriously about this.
Make them pay less and let some organization round up the sum. The winner decides to which charity organization the money goes, but please don't play this out for your own pocket.

What irresponsible message would that be? Personally I don't consider betting irresponsible if you bet within your means. If there is some other message hidden in there I don't see it.

If they wanna do it, they should try to play it at a MLG or something. Not online with cross-server shenanigans. Hopefully, this isn't like the IdrA v Smuft showmatch xD

I vote for conspiracy on these polls @_@. Anyway I hope naniwa wins because he must got some new shit to beat this stephano meta game thing.
I hope stephano wins so he can go more nuts with his wins against toss.

Best example for kids is to see people gamble for 5000 of own pocket and then PAY it.

this started because Thorzain doesn't want to have a NASL showmatch against Nani, Nani was calling him out, then Stephano called Nani out for a showmatch. I just hope they don't allow the players to put 5k of their own money, To much money for some friendly jest.

When I vote, Poll is 232 for Nani/231 for Stephano. After I vote.... 241/240. Seems TL thinks odds are even on this one :D.

The day that money seems more important in E-Sports than the athletical aspect of competing will be the day when E-Sports begins its downfall like it happened to European Football or other sports.

If this happens, i pray that Naniwa realises the meaning of the word showmatch and doesn't come prepared with only 2base all ins, they make PvZ so boring.
I'm probably being ironic

Have we really seen Stephano play against a top top Protoss lately? His PvZ is good but NaNiwa is way better than like elfi or ReaL.
NaNi himself on the other hand recently beat NesTea and Leenock... So my money is on NaNiwa although it will probably be close

Who and why would anyone deny them to use 5k of their own money? If they want to do it, of course it should be okay! Of course, it would be cooler if some company paid.
