Id just like to point out that Aftonbladet (the swedish newspaper) LOVES to create drama out of nothing and its in fact very possible that the journalist did twist naniwas words or took them out of context to sell more news (or in this case, get more readers online).

On the other hand nani and thorzain seems to be friends and theres nothing wrong with some friendly banter


I dont see naniwa actually caring about whoever fans refer to as "King of the North", But Lets be honest, Naniwa is a much better player than Thorzain, Personally Id rank Naniwa as the best protoss outside of Korea, and probably one of the very few foreigners with a mindset good enough to be able to compete with Koreans on a regular basis.

I dont think hes gna join a KESPA team because I dont think they'd let him compete in Dreamhack and other foreign tournaments as much, but I actually hope its a KESPA team because he'd fit perfectly with their training regiment.

The professional sc2 scene would be much more boring without cocky guys like Naniwa. I understand that some people dislike this of personality but in a competitive scene it's absolutely essential and I love it.

fxo or fnatic. Most likely fnatic since sase is there


he left quantic specifically because he was tired of sase lol, so i dunno about that logic, im sure theyre still good mates tho so maybe?

either way im surprised he's still bothered about the whole thorzain thing, althought he did lose to him in TSL3 so he is the one with something to prove imo, not sure if they've played any big series vs eachother since then??

maybe they should just play a showmatch and get it over and done with...

afaik he turned down team 8's offer and there is no other kespa team that would want him to be honest. Theres so much talent in korea that i see no reason why a kespa team would recruit him.

I like how whenever anyone has attitude in the pro scene a couple dozen nerds have to come out of nowhere and fling insults at the confident personality. You need to get over yourselves.

I'm a big Thorzain fan and all, but I believe Naniwa is going to be the better player in HotS, especially since Thorzain went and somehow lost to Killer when Terran was showing nothing but dominance at MLG. I also don't see Thorzain with 2 Code S Ro8 finishes, so how are you going to blindly fanboy and call Thorzain the better player? Because Thorzain is nicer?


I also like seeing people with comprehension problems, Naniwa IS the better player, which is something every objective person looking at his achievements knows. So for him to be obsessed with the need to mention it in numerous interviews seems weird, especially since it's a one-way word war that Thorzain pretty much ignores. Where exactly did I link personality and skill in my post and where did I say Thorzain is better?


Are you sure its Naniwa who is obsessed, or it's just the interviewers who keep asking Naniwa to compare himself to Thorzain every time?


Pretty sure they keep asking them because they're both Swedish when in reality they couldn't be any different.

Hell, it's about time. Even for NaNiwa, he was teamless for a while. I'm thinking either Fnatic or a KeSPA team.
I accidentally the whole Overseers.

Otherwise maybe KeSPA...

God that's about as unlikely that it can already considered bogus, but that would be THE perfect environment for someone like NaNiwa...

I think he's talking about Naniwa. Probably because they didn't know much about his history. I doubt what they offered him is anything close to what he would ask for.
