A cursory glance at his win rates seems impressive but a thorough browse offers an unimpressive and locally restricted result. He is top teir in EU/NA in many mid profile tournaments, but his win rates vs. top teir players is not convincing. He beat White-Ra in showmatch 5-1. You can say he's not top tier, but he's pretty good. He beat Feast 2-0 at SCAN. He is obviously just saying that because he is swedish, but whatever. He also beat ReaL, elfi and MaNa at assembly. I count MaNa as very top tier. None of those players have done the things Naniwa has done though... I don't know man, mana surely has the same amount of second places in big tournaments like naniwa!

Well, I guess it's nothing special for a pro off-racing IMMvp and other high level Koreans can offrace in GM. So no, it isn't anything special. MVP's zerg is easily one of the better in the world. Strong statement. It's true though. I've seen MVP roll MC on ladder with his ZvP among other things.

I hope they organize this well, like Stephano vs WhiteRa x10. I want to have nerdchills during the whole battle.

This is going to be close. Hopefully Stephano takes it. Surely they can't back out now, that they've created so much hype. Although Stephano has backed out of bigger things before (complexity), so we'll see.

Mana is a PvT player with known crappy PvZ. Elfi is a PvP player with crappy everything else. Real is a PvT player with semi okay PvZ. White Ra is weak PvZ and Feast is weak PvZ.
Literally all those players have vs Zerg as their worst matchup.
You can't just throw names out there, you need to talk about players in specific matchups. Beating MMA as a Protoss is nothing like beating MMA as a Zerg for example.

We need Doa and Wolf to cast this!

This would be the best series of the month, no questions asked.
"Vortex abuse?" Maybe he'll lose to "Ling abuse" early game, then perhaps "Muta abuse" mid game, followed by a fierce "Brood Lord/Infestor/Roach abuse" late game.
No offense....but c'mon.

Noobs gonna be noobs, even if they are just chatcrafting.
So anywho, this is by far the biggest showmatch ever right? deserves IPL class presentation.

best for stephano that it happens anytime soon, soon nani will be too good for him to take just 1 game...

Where is your precious French Zerg?
Spitting trash on twitter, then gets called on it and hides? Doesnt bode well for the french stereotypes. You're sooo american I'm surprised that so few people take this as it is, just funny trashtalk between two friends
You're sooooo French. Using nationality as an insult. I'm going to go have coffee and a cigarette while lamenting my own life in a street cafe and thinking about minimalistic art movements.
(am I doing it right?)
Here, I'll give you some ammo: We have LOTS of McDonalds' and gay marriage is still mostly illegal!
Quick, insult me.

Dunno how this will happen with cross server. Perfect FF will be absolutely necessary to beat stephanos zvp.

Stop the country bashing both of you It's a match between stephano and naniwa, not France and USA.
Besides, France has LOTS of macdonalds as well, and gay marriage is still illegal.

Hmmmmmmm they will both be in America for the next two weeks............ I wonder............ :D

NonY + Idra to cast this. LOL just thinking of that casting combo made me laugh.
More seriously I would like a Day9 + someone combo. Day9 works well with almost anyone, imo, so just pick a likeable second guy. Apollo and Husky were the first that came to mind. Or maybe a plott Brothers casting, Day9 w/ tasteless.
