People need to stop using Alicia and Seed to support this particular argument. A month and half ago, it wouldn't have even crossed your mind to say they are better but since they've had a little run of success, all of sudden they are put into "best players in the world' status??

Same goes for naniwa then, some months ago nobody would have put him into the best protoss players list.

Well, all of those has not proven to be better then Naniwa in GSL. I'd say he is top 5 protoss, I think the most stable all-round protosses are Squirtle and MC, PartinG and Alicia best against terran.


What do you mean, the only protoss in that list that hasn't exceeded Naniwas GSL results are Puzzle and Alicia, plus an argument could be made for Oz if you ignore his slump earlier this year. And I'm pretty sure even Naniwa would agree that Creator is better than him, he says he is the best protoss in the world.

You mean like Dignitas, a team which is well known for rehiring a former player - Sjow? Would like to see this be true.


I dont think Dignitas would pick up a player who just BMed there newest recruit, former player or not.

So winning Code S is "a little run of success"? Are you serious? oO

Naniwa gives 100 times more PR than Major. The question is why would Naniwa want to join TSL?

Quote from a random user of Inwarcraft.de as Naniwa joined Team fnatic in 2007:

"Mal gucken, wie lange er diesmal dort bleibt. "

(lets see how long he will stay this time)

I like that you put genius in that list, made it pretty funny.


Why, Genius is better than Naniwa when he remembers to research Colossus range. I feel like people are too lazy to actually watch and follow the games and just look at the results and make lazy, stupid opinions based on numbers alone.

Plus, Genius' PvZ is leagues better and his PvT is equivalent IMO

And may I ask why it is so funny ? Yes naniwa beat genius twice in the gsl but he also lost once in the gsl and lost 4-0 in a NASL showmatch. Even if naniwa may seem a little bit better in pvp, Genius is an all around better player than naniwa.

which team tolerates spoilt or mouthy players with big ego's?, they drink monster and remind you of it every chance they get and dont care about anything but attention, even above results, the obvious home, if not then another 3-6 month flirtation IMO

i dont know if i'd go as far as to say top 8 in the world, but also i dont think i 'd go as far as to name a list of players that are better than him . Because to me that seems like even more bullshit you have made up just randomly on the fly.

For you to just be like, x player is better with no facts to back up your statements you clearly come of as a naniwa hater and you know what they say about haters, Haters going to hate no matter what.

If you want to go by facts, Naniwa has faced Genius 4 separate times . Once in the GSTL , naniwa won. 2 times in the gsl, naniwa won. And once in the Nasl = genius won. So with 4 meetings naniwa wins 3 of them and you can write with confidence that genius is better than him? be fucking real here. He has also beaten puzzle.. I dunno man, I wont say that naniwa is better than those players, but i also wont say that those players are better than naniwa. Take a chill pill.

Puzzle made two Ro8 in a row just like naniwa. And GUESS what ??? Nobody was calling him to be top8 best players in the world haha. Foreigner bias can be so annoying at times.

LG-IM Naniwa? They've got to be very rich at this point and if naniwa wants to stay in Korea they seem like a nice fit.

I don't think LG-IM would want a player with his attitude. SK seems likely, assuming they have the money. Or Fnatic, but they bought their share fair of players already.


I don't think IM would be against him joining because of attitude problems, but do they really want him considering how many good players they have already? Mvp, Nestea, Seed, Happy, Yoda, Yonghwa, First, Losira...


You guys seem to forget Nestea HATES Naniwa either you guys have been in the scene for 2 months or you forget past MLGs and the GSL IM Naniwa will NEVER HAPPEN

You seem to forget that IM management is in charge of the team not NesTea.
