I: You've said that you don't really care about what the fans say, except for the Swedish fans, why are the Swedish fans so much more important to you?


N: It feels like the international fans are more of fair weather fans, if you do well, you're the best and everyone loves you, but as soon as you do bad you get a hate-thread with 600 comments, that's what HuK got, and still he's one of the most loved players, which is just absurd. But from what I've seen on Rakaka and so on, I've always been supported by the Swedish fans. It's always nice to have a website you can go to and read without just reading a ton of shit.


Okay this really clarified a lot for me. Thank you for the interview.

I haven't had this effect myself, as I've always really liked Nani, but I see it and I understand his feelings.

IM from USA and i agree with Naniwa. We're kind of arses sometimes. But i still support Nani :D


There is a little bit of Lost in Translation here. NaNiwa is not really saying that Americans are especially rude or something, he's just saying that you are more forward, not afraid to approach him and ask for autographs and such. Swedes can be kind of shy generally speaking, so we wont approach someone in the same way or as often.

There's no need for name calling.

It's just a culture difference. Naniwa comes from Sweden where people are very reserved and sometimes even too respectful
Whereas American's (from my experience) are quite a bombastic people. Different strokes for different folks is all =)

Maybe you should reread and make sure you understand what was said before you call someone a prick for it. You guys just said the same thing: that people aren't in great moods when they lose, no matter who they are.

Oh shit, I'm sorry about that, I should really have checked his fanclub before doing this.

I sincerely hope that "huggie" really did say space sharks would be added to fix any problems with the map...it would make my day for its ridiculousness.

hopefully naniwa can brush off the losses for GSL

Naniwa, I like rooting for you and all, but please realize not all of your fans are fair-weather fans. We'll root for you whether you win or lose, and even when you say you don't care about us. But many of us aren't as vocal about your loses as the haters are, so it may appear their are a lot of fair-weather fans but just realize that's not the case.

I tend to think that there are some young people on here who 1) Like to troll and do it whenever any popular player loses 2) are just hateful people who insult anyone who they don't love, and since haters are typically louder with their opinions it comes off like they form a good portion of the crowd. It's quite sad watching people flame young players like Huk/Naniwa etc.

Oh okay, I'll edit it, thanks! I wasn't sure about the exact word so I just used an online translator!


turncoats is so much more boss mode. makes naniwa sound like a 1800s english man.

Was a great interview, I guess NaNiwa might have some trouble expressing himself in english, coz he sounds a lot more reasonable, smart and thoughtful in swedish
