Jinro's run was a lot less impressive to me, not to take anything away from him, but it was at a time when foreigners were able to take games off quite convincingly and Jinro played pretty cheesy and not against super good opponents. Like I think it was against Marineking in Ro4 after that when Jinro got absolutely obliterated, it was like watching a low masters play grandmasters player, and it was a thor one base all-in or some proxy stuff mostly every game that he won.

Naniwa's run is VERY impressive. Much more impressive than the games from Jinro imo.

naniwa's run wasn't very impressive either if want look at the games. He took out 2 very tvp players and won 2 pvp. And as u know any top protoss can beat any other top protoss in pvp on any given day

Rachel looks at progamers like cute little fuzzy bears.

Awesome interview. Naniwa is so honest. I thought it was really sad that before GSL he tweeted a lot about how much practice he has done and that he can't wait for the games vs MVP and the next days he gets rolled by MVP in a rape fashion.

this was the first time i've seen Naniwa in an interview and i read he gives some of the most uninteresting responses, but I didn't think this was the case with this one. fairly insightful, and entertaining interview.

It's probably the best thing that could have happened to him.
He's got a lesson from the master himself, next time he'll prepare differently.

Don't mean to be rude, but did Rachel get a breast enlargment? Or maybe I've never really noticed them before now.

I dont know how to put it without being completely improper, but yes, she seems enhanced in that area.
Anyway, the best female (or simply the best) interviewer in the scene right now, doesnt hurt she's nice to look at!
He had the same don't-give-a-f*** attitude from his stream, where he all-ins every game and shamelessly plays three ads.

That's just bullshit. The Koreans play PvP on another level it has never been the matchup that made it possible for foreigners to get easy wins against Korean players.
I want to be with those who share secret things or else alone.
