man..wanted stephano but he didn't want it..wierd that a foreigner would be seeded despite not winning a tournament and being owned in code A repeatedly.

Yeah, the dude that beat DRG, and Nestea and MVP in the same day, and then Nestea again, and then Nestea and leenock is just a complete nobody that deserves nothing. Who is this bronze naniwa?

I dont even distinguish naniwa from a korean. I believe he's that solid. He can beat anyone he faces.

1. Banning nani based on probe rushing a meaningless game was moronic, they realized it.

2. The ONLY foreigner to have beaten both Mvp and Nestea in Bo3 series multiple times, as well as many other high level wins.

Literally could not have made a better choice for a seed than nani, he is clearly the most impressive foreigner.


And has 8% (1-12) win ratio in GSL.



So freaking what he has that old record? He could have 0-100 win ration if he can constantly beat top koreans now.

When was the last time there was the best acknowledged foreigner in the GSL not just some foreigners like idra,sen,morrow,huk to fill the spots? If Stephano was up there with Naniwa we would have the best representation ever of the foreign scene. Stop with the hating and root for the best there is at this moment.

People hang on some loses and the freaking probe rush like he murdered their families.


The best foreigners have been in GSL loads of times. They always lose.

True, but sometimes he just doesnt feel that solid. On a good day he can beat anyone (which he has already proved and no other foreigner have) while sometimes he loose to a little bit worse players. Stephano on the other hand feels VERY solid, he cant loose to an inferior player.

Still talking about things that happened six months ago...i guess he should get a permanent code s seed.

After his 0-4 result at blizzard cup, he showed that he ain't ready to play in code S yet.

I'm glad naniwa got the seed, if we have to have them at all. Can't think of many foreigners that deserve it more. Hope he plays well although it is code S, and if people prepare for him expect to see a lot of mind games and build order wins/losses. Wish he would get over the mindset that ffe is the only viable build, its so exploitable.

And yet he's 1-12 in Korea and for all his hype he's never actually won a major LAN with Koreans. His closest thing is coming second in Providence which had a joke format.

Naniwa is a good player, but he's not Code S level and doesn't deserve a free seed based on finishing 8th.

Were you watching the same Blizzard cup as I was? One of those games he lost on purpose, the other three were very tense and pretty close.

To be fair lots of people in code S would probably go 0-4 there aswell, so that aint really an indication.

For all of those saying that Naniwa is a poor choice for this season's seeding: May I remind you his matches against leenock and Nestea (2 former GSL champions) from a few days back?
He was only stopped by the best Zerg player in the WORLD from taking home the MLG Winter Arena champion title.

Naniwa has been showing consistent results in the foreign tournaments as of late and he had the Code S spot in the season 1 as well but due to the 7 probe rush against Nestea, GomTV producers decided to exclude him due to very bad manners.

It's time for Naniwa to redeem himself. I'm not saying he's gonna win the whole thing but he'll put a good show nonetheless.

leenock is not a GSL champion, he has nnot won GSL. And all his games vs nestea have been 2 base all ins.

If MC wouldn't have fallen in IPL 3 to a freaking pvp to inori Stephano would have never ever won his biggest event. That was a fragile format. Stacked, but the koreans just killed themselves in the bracket.

So instead of event wins that can get to you with luck (I keep Huk in the same wagon) i look to actual wins over players.

And people say that his wins are over 6 months old but they keep bringing up the 10% w/l in GSL. Lame double standards.

leenock is not a GSL champion, he has nnot won GSL. And all his games vs nestea have been 2 base all ins.


So leenock is no good? And MC is bad cause he does 2 bad allins? Saying on a bad tone that protoss goes for 2 base allins is like a protoss would say in a bad way a zerg goes 3 hatch.

He was also crushed 2-0 by MarineKing so he wasn't winning MLG regardless of the DRG result.

Yeah i saw Blizzard cup and no matter how close those games were, he still lost...that's the difference between koreans and foreigners, they sure know how to win even if the games are close.

Can't believe how they chose Naniwa over Huk(Stephano sure would've deserved the seed, but he doesn't want to go to Korea so...)

Anyone can win a single best of 3 or even two best of three's. It takes a truly great player to win enough in a row to actually win an MLG. Especially Naniwa who lets be honest 2 base all in's 80% of his PvZ and PvT's, you're going to win games playing like that.

It's much more impressive to show the consistancy to win enough games to take home a 1st place than it is to beat a good player once.

Naniwa is a good player, but he's not Code S level and doesn't deserve a free seed based on finishing 8th.
