Haha too tame to be like MC. The only time he bragged like that was when he had a claim to the title of the best foreigner. The Thorzain banter was because they've been rivals for a long time... but Thorzain has definitely taken the throne in their competitions so far. People are looking for what they want to see if they think he is bashing Thorzain. -.- Thorzain's a nice guy and definitely made some cool innovations... but Nani should have crushed him long ago. Nani Hwaiting! | ||

I'm not sure how well Naniwa would get along with Axiom. Wildcard shot would be a "token" foreigner pickup from a Kespa team. | ||

If GSL has to give a foreigner seed out, he should be one of them. I haven't seen any of his games since... umm. He lost to Mvp? | ||

Edit: I really hope its not EG, EG does not seem to produce strong players, more of a retirement home. I really agree about EG. Seems anyone who goes there stop performing very well. I don't think there is an EG curse. I just think that EG is such a rich and well-run team that the players who end up there feel so safe, comfortable and happy that they lose their motivation for hardcore-practicing SC2 with the goal of becoming the best. It reminds me very much about Real Madrid (in football) about 10 years ago. They had loads of famous players but couldn't really perform on the European stage because most of them were past their prime. About Naniwa, I don't have any problem with him. He seems to have a need for building up tension and drama in order to motivate himself to perform even better. I think there is a deliberate meaning to why he's "all talk...". He wants to hype himself a lot, so he has a goal to achieve which he has promised to the community. Naniwa could be the Mohammad Ali of StarCraft 2 if he could start showing some results again. | ||

Comparing Naniwa's smack-talk with Ali's is like comparing a knock-knock joke to great stand-up comedy. Ali was charismatic, interesting and legitimately confident. I mean he's a smack-talk legend. But Naniwa? I don't think he has the personality for that. | ||
