I like how he lost the very next match after this interview.

I think by 'foreign tournaments' he means DH. In the midst of IPLs and MLGs, DH does seem at the bottom skill wise.

Or he may be ignorant of other tournaments.

I dunno why so many people think this guy is cocky or rude... Everything in the interview seemed pretty tame to me. GSL definitely is a much more difficult tournament and the reason he said Naniwa didn't make it as far was because he hit PvZ which he hasn't been practicing in the past month and so is understandably weaker in... Of course he also said that he would win but that's also pretty typical of interviews with koreans... On top of that he even complimented Nerchio saying that he knew he was a strong european zerg only behind stephano. I don't think enough personality came out to say embrace or condemn him. ANyhow. Thanks for the interview!

Hehe, Munster setting himself up to become the 'suicide-zerg' with this attitude in interviews ;D Jokes aside though, I wonder if he was basing the "100 times easier" comment exclusively on the first day of DH.

But I consider GSL to be the best tournament, all the elite players are in GSL.

Guess that's why he isn't in it.

He is not a nobody... and my guess is that he also gets some of the idea from his teammates(specifically DRG) since they've been to foreign tourneys quite a few times. Just my guess.

And i'm not saying I agree with him, just my thoughts on why he's saying it.

Considering what he is used to, Dreamhack probably seems like a cakewalk. And remember Sound? 2nd at Homestory Cup, never made a dent in the Korean scene.

Well Thorzain just won Dreamhack and none of the five GSL players could stop him.

If he thinks it is so easy why didn't he win.

Pretty sure it helped, but koreans have this habit of coming over to foreign tournaments, taking top 3 and never showing anything slightly related in the GSL, so I can't say I disagree with his view.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

Well to comment as the interviewer himself. He seemed to be a pretty nice guy and was that over the time of the full interview. He pretty much exaggerated concerning the GSL point but I don´t think that he meant that as a insult to foreign tournaments or players. In my opinion these were only his thoughts after he had nearly no chance at GSL and came to the playoffs at DreamHack so easily.

Bit dumb for Monster to say that about Naniwa, he's only been practicing PvP and PvT for like the last month because that's all he's had to face in the GSL.


I don't think it was an insult. I think it was more an observation than anything else and Nani confirmed that he really hadn't practiced vZ in a long time.

I would just like to note that there were basically four considering Puma has never been in the GSL.

I have no idea who Monster is. I doubt he's been to more than a couple prestigious foreign tournaments.

Just another flash in the pan giving us his highly valued opinion.

I wasn't considering Puma, although he is good enough too. Well, I guess Hyun and Monster both dropped down. Did not realize that but whatever.

Idk, he got pretty easy groups all the way through, and didn't show particularly impressive skills in the matches I saw of him.
