Two roughly equal players (Naniwa's probably slightly better overall), but with Stephano's best match-up and Naniwa's worst match-up? Doesn't seem entirely smart, but I have faith that Naniwa could win.

Predictability is pretty bad. Naniwa will forge expand like no other. And then he'll get "idra'd".

Uh, Forge expand is standard and hard to abuse with an all-in because of wall offs and Forcefields. Besides, you can choose any tech route behind said forge expand to stay hard to predict.

So basically, no.

Depends if BO5/BO7/BO9. It will be really hard for Naniwa anyway as he relies on two base all ins a lot and Stephano can defend those pretty easy, especially if its more than BO3.

But Stephano doesn't go mutas much so idk

Glad to hear Nani putting his money where his mouth is. It would be great if it happened, but I imagine Stephano will back out.

Would be awesome, but i don't think it will happen. Especially Stephano seems to be really seeking money and there are more effective ways for him to earn it than risking his own. Would be really epic though, when the players really put their own money into the pot. Competitive people like to gamble, so who knows...


Getting 1:1 odds to beat someone you have a >50% chance of winning sounds like a good bet to me.

sometimes i think people should get banned for such posts
MLG he played the 3 best zergs from korea in a ROW (with even beating seth before) and beat 2 of them, in names he throw nestea and leenock out of the tournament and you call his pvz "pretty bad" ????

I honestly don't know who I think would win. Both are amazing against each other's race, clearly the best foreigner in each matchup (Stephano vP and Naniwa vZ).

http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/sc2-international/players/1614_NaNiwa

It's his worst match-up by percentages and he's stated that in interviews before on numerous occasions. Whether he thinks that's changed or not I don't know, but historically it has always been his worst match up and he hasn't really been dropping that many games to terran, particularly compared to how many he's dropped to zerg. When he's been beating zergs, it's always been 2-1. When he's been beating Terrans it's usually 2-0.

If I had a little extra bank, I'd consider staking Nani.

Stephano is kind of a tool. I hope Nani tunes him up. I doubt this goes down though to be honest.
