Couldn't care less about whose achievement was greater in GSL, I'm just enjoying another Swede making a consistent splash in GSL rather than being a one-hit wonder or one of those directly invited+instantly knocked out foreigners.

You know at least when Huk was doing well in GSL, he was always mannered and just stressed hard work and dedication...I used to not care that Naniwa was so BM and arrogant, but making nasty comments at someone for no reason in a winners interview is really uncalled for. Guy seems to get in altercations or dramas everywhere, its no wonder that he has trouble with teams and finding practice. Its one thing to be confident but to shit on others in the process really shows no class. Someday Naniwa is going to not do so well and it wouldnt surprise me to see sponsors bail on someone who is so unprofessional and rude. serious issues.......

So confusing as to why everyone jumps on Nani.

Honestly, I would be surprised if nobody in this thread has talked down on Jinro before, and then hopped in here and got on Naniwa about it. Naniwa is honest, he always has been, I don't see how this is any different. He didn't say Jinro was bad, he said the GSL is harder.

It's like what he said with MVP, it's not that he (nani) played bad, but MVP played really well. This comment could honestly be taken as "It's not that Jinro is bad, the GSL just got harder." Imo at least.

Glad Nani is considering learning some Korean, it always strikes me as odd that people move to foreign countries and refuse to learn the language, even just casually! I would jump at the chance. Khaldor could teach him!

I have never talked shit about Jinro, especially after winning a SC2 match that he had nothing to do with. Still yet to face Jinro in 4's! Naniwa made an unecessary rude comment about a fellow player. It is as simple as that. Btw I was cheering for him to win last round so Im not a hater.

I went to Japan and learned a few key phrases in the week i was there. Not sure how he can avoid learning everything really

Everybody picking on our only foreign real hope is mind blowing.

I am glad Genius lost and didn't even made it 2nd. Take that!

Let me restate this for those quick to have naniwa executed for his rudeness...

The questions were phrased in korean
translated to english
answered in english by a swedish person not speaking english as a first language
translated the english answers back into korean
then translated back into english again.

There is no way to know exactly what he meant with the Jinro comment, they are both swedish and Im sure naniwa didn't mean to say basically "yeah jinro got farther than me but on the other hand he is a little bitch who isnt fit to lick my boots". That doesn't even make sense, especially later when he stated he is proud to be swedish, one would assume he would be happy and respectful of Jinro's successes.

Swedes in GSL fighting!

How exactly is it mind blowing?
Do people need to support someone that has the same skin color yet got nothing else in common?

People are really overreacting to Naniwa's Jinro comment. I was rooting for Genius/Byun and I think Naniwa was totally outplayed that last game and should have been crushed (if genius had range..) so nobody can accuse me of being biased. His results ARE more impressive than Jinro's. The average skill level HAS increased. He didn't even bash Jinro, just brought it up.

It is such a silly concept.
"I am proud i got born on this part ground" How can you be proud on something you never done anything for and was completely chance?

TL is one of the most international boards in the world and he starts with nationalism? He really steps into every mudhole he can find, doesn´t he?

Rofl, what is going on here? People really do try to complain about anything.
