He doesn't have big results as of late but like others have said he still consistently challenges and still often beats some of the world's best players. Thorzain I'm sorta losing hope in. Who is Naniwa challenging and beating among the best players of the world as of late? Thorzain won 4 tournaments, including the 2 swedish crown and is 7-4 against Naniwa this year(4-0 offline), i think that's enough to give him the title. | ||

can't decide... but Thorzain is the first foreigner since more than 2700 days who has beaten a korean in proleague. | ||

I vote NaNiWa for his GSL performances and some strong finishes in side tournaments. | ||

They are both great players, Sase just didn't have a break out year like SortOf did I suppose. The problem is SaSe is about as consistent as a high school romance. One week it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, but next week there's shit flying around and scathing videos being posted on the internet. I'm a big SaSe fan, but he's not consistent enough to make nearly the dent he deserves. | ||

In the end it was something like 12 games of starcraft for Naniwa, vs the RIDICULOUS run of Sase at MLG, beating players as good as Naniwa's competition in GSL, or SortOf's damn near victory at WCS Sweden and also placing 4th in NASL. Have you forgotten Naniwa's 0-10 start at the GSL? It took a while to get the matchups he needed to advance, and while it's absolutely a damn impressive feat, GSL isn't the only tournament that matters. Fruitdealer, Jjakji, and Seed are all GSL champions that didn't live up to their expectations after their glorious runs. Naniwa's fantastic, and balance may have been a factor in SortOf's runs, but throughout an entire year I think at least 20 games of starcraft should be taken into consideration. | ||
