Just cultural differences lol, I understand where NaNi is coming from. I don't really see how it's that hard to get.

He looks much more relaxed than in his english interviews. Bobhund is a good interviewer.

I think it's interesting that that a lot of players complain about the DH starcraft admins. Last DH summer naniwa threatened to kill one of them :D

if you're going to make such serious accusations, atleast back it up with some proof/source
The truth is, Yagami-kun, I suspect that you may in fact be Kira.

Quoting myself from another thread:

Some background information.

I believe Hellspawn is the SC2-admin at Dreamhack which SaSe was referring to. Hellspawn is also one of the editors of rakaka (the site that did the interview) and one of their most prolific bloggers. I think that's why SaSe chuckled

Hellspawn (and rakaka) isn't exactly universally liked by the swedish SC2-scene. Naniwa apparently threatened to kill Hellspawn last dreamhack.

Hellspawn used to post on TL whenever rakaka published an sc2-interview. I wonder why he didn't chose to promote this one :D

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


This^ It's like a whole new person, he seems so much more comfortable

Awesome interview! I love Nani's mindset "If I win, I win". Makes him seem like a real person. GL against MVP!!

Nice interview, thanks for it and its translation

Was wondering why the Koreans didn't speak a word of English yesterday, but seeing how Nani endears people, simply by being able to speak more freely in his native tongue, the may very well have been right. Otherwise they'd have been curiosities like MC at the Home story cup, instead of focussing on their play and opinions.

What was up with the maps, with the admins? Redit articles rarely clarify anything, mostly just quips and shouts with very little wool

I believe they introduced some untested maps and some borderline ones. Which meant the veto became less effective.

ty for the translation, he sorta looked (bad) at the start with some of the answers not caring about any of the non Swedish fans, but they were pretty biased questions.

aside from that I think his gaming mind is on par, anything to stay calm is a good thing.

because the words and the real intent are worlds apart?

I could happily kill every noob that takes things out of context and turns it into some kind of drama.


I threatened to punch a guy in the pub the other night because he was pissed, didn't know us and wouldnt leave us alone. Had no intent of doing it but it sent a clear message of 'look enough nonsense, we have said we arn't interested are short of time and are in an important conversation, leave us alone' which the words i used just prior clearly didnt have.

Was I out of line? Probably, was he out of line? definatley ... did it make him go away with minimal annoyance? absolutley.

Was he offended? Nope, he apologised later on and we had a chat.

Threats of violence don't have to carry intent, they can however make an emotive point.

I love Nani because he seems one of the more genuine characters out there. Less of the pandering bullshit and more of the here is how it is, and i'm going to tell you how it is.

Great interview thanks for translates!

Though i believe fair weather fans come from any nation, as you get more famous those will concure.

Intresting interview.
I am not a fan of Naniwa as a person but i am a big fan of Naniwa as a player, best of luck in the Ro8.
