EPTAlso, rather than the fact that I’m a foreigner in Korea, I’m more proud of the fact that I’m Swedish.
Sweden, fuck yeah! <3 you NaNi!

I don't think people should get so fired up over that comment. Naniwa seems to be very proud of being Swedish, and as such I don't think he would purposefully disrespect a progamer from his own country. We can't know for sure what was said, but I highly doubt that he was trying to discredit Jinro's achievement. Sure, Naniwa says some weird stuff sometimes but I don't think this particular statements was meant as hostile in any way. | ||

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? | ||

naniwa fighting another foreigner making ro4 would be so sick, and right now I feel like he is the only one capable of doing so. | ||

He really steps into every mudhole he can find, doesn´t he? Why is being proud of your birthplace bad, and what does TL being international have to do with anything? | ||

EDIT: probably a troll now I think of it. | ||

And btw - why isn't he allowed to be proud of the nation that he grew up in, the one that gave him the oppurtunities to do what he does today? I agree that being born somewhere doesn't mean anything, but that doesn't take away from what Sweden probably contributed to his life experiences. These forums really are full of very strange people. | ||

I'd place my bet on the latter, he doesn't give off the impression of a mastermind spin-doctor. | ||

Like, does he think "Yeah, TL's gonna tear itself apart over this one!" while answering the question, or does he simply say whatever comes to mind, and only later realizes "Maybe that wasn't such a good idea.". I'd place my bet on the latter, he doesn't give off the impression of a mastermind spin-doctor. Hes more like the latter and when he sees the hate on him on TL, he always says on his twitter that he doesnt care about the opinion of international fans, and his only important fans are the swedish ones | ||

You guys are trying way too hard to find something to hate about him, just be glad his months ( almost year now ) of hard work in Korea is paying off! | ||

How about Pelé being the king of soccer? He did what he did in the 60s, soccer nowadays is light years ahead of what it was, in terms of player conditioning and whatnot. Even the ball sucked back then. This, it was most likely as tough for Jinro to make it to Ro. 4 back then as it is now for Naniwa. If things were easier back then, sure Naniwa would have been there with Jinro then? | ||
