Well, to be fair, NaNi has the best chance at winning this GSL than any other foreigner did in previous GSLs.


No he doesn't Jinro was in the Round of 4 twice and at the time Jinro was legitimately one of the top five players in the world (behind Nestea, MVP, MKP and MC). Naniwa most definitely is not in the top five in the world, he's not even in the top 10.

Regardless of your top5 at any given time, there wasn't really any doubt that Jinro was gonna lose to MC the first ime he was in a Ro4. He even said in the interview before the match that he was gonna lose!
The second Ro4 was pretty much the same. No one at all believed he was gonna beat MKP, just as no one thought either would have a chance against Mvp in the finals.

Whatever the curcumstances (opponents with bad vP, mirror match ups, etc.) a lot more people think Naniwa has a chance now. I'd even say he has a legitimately chance of beating any of the remaining players even though he probably won't be favoured against any of them.

MKP sure as hell was not certain he would win when he faced Jinro. MKP gave Jinro the same treatment he gave MVP. He publically said he did not want to get into a standard game with Jinro. I dont doubt that MKP is and was the better player (he did win). But it was NOT the way you describe it.

Whoaaaaa, finally accepting?

Hopefully this will add enough foreigner interest to have a European or American- timed rebroadcast? The only thing keeping me from paying for GSL is not being able to watch the matches live.

I'd totes watch semi-live on a foreigner rebroadcast though.

Speaking of which... perhaps it's time for IPL to partner further with GSL to sponsor the rebroadcast? Anyone see awesome synergy here? I do.

Stephano in GSL? So hyped. Probably one of, if the not, the best foreign invites GSL could give right now.

The foreigner interest in GSL always was and is much larger than the korean interest.... i dont see them putting up rebroadcast anytime soon. I would think VODs are big seller on the GSL tickets and lets be honest here, catching the GSL live at weird times is part of the magic.

Idra really acts like what he described. He seems like he doesn't respect the game and he doesn't want competitive part of it. His results would agree too.

Why play the Smartass? What he says is pretty understandable, Idra doesn't show any hunger for winning any more. Sry if it hurts your little fanboy's heart but it's true ...

It is still stupid to make assumptions. How people act and feel are very different. You should bear that in mind when you try to judge a person. (And resorting to mild insults at the end of your point does not make you clever, and it certainly doesn't help your argument.)

Assuming Stephano accepts (which I think we all want him to do), I believe so.

Has Stephano officially accepted or rejected the seed yet?

Did he? I thought he hoped to study medicine after he finished playing StarCraft as a progamer.

I didn't realize he already studied it. Isn't he only like 18 or 19 or something?
