Nice interview. Although somehow I'm kind of worried that Naniwa would say things like "I didn't expect to get this far.." "I don't expect to win but let's see.." because that feels so un-Naniwaish to me. I've always known Naniwa as a player with a great fighting heart, as someone who is not afraid of anyone and wants to win and so him to become a timid "I'm just happy to have reached this level.." would be kind of sad. In my eyes Naniwa has always been the player who cares about winning more than anything else. Where others would say "I'm scared to face this and this player" Naniwa would simply say that he wants to play the best players precisely because they are the best.

But yeah, I guess he did say he will continue to try to win every game and just being realistic is not necessarily admitting defeat but I just hope that he never loses the fighting spirit. GO Naniwa!

I've disliked Naniwa for a long time, thought he was over rated and thought he was extremely immature and to be frank a cry baby. After the whole probe rush incident and not getting Code S, he seems to have grown up quite a bit. Both as a player and personality wise. He is slowly winning me over as a fan... Keep it up Naniwa!

Naniwa so good.

I wouldn't have been happier if huk won his code a then made it all the way to code s, but he was

just a bit off today

. anyway I really wish Nani makes it to the finals and wins this GSL.

Damn, if there's no Zerg advance tomorrow ( which could happen cuz MVP and herO's vs Zerg is pretty kick-ass), then I'm thinking about a good chance of Nani in the final. I don't think any Protoss can beat him in PvP, may be some TvP specialist like MKP or SuperNova, otherwise he's good to go.

That's it, Im moving to Sweden to get a swedish citizenship. One can obviously not be a true Nani-fan if one is not a swede:D
GJ Nani and prepare well for R8, GSL champion is not impossible, its all in your head.

Your nickname is weird.
