Perspective? Could you be more specific?
This article is just missing in so many aspects. It's not just "perspective" lol

Not every article is written the same way nor should they be.

God damn it Zealousy, talk about how great Naniwa is next time or there will be an angry mob of faniwas at your virtual TL doorstep.

PSA: not agreeing with the chosen perspective to preview a player does not mean the article is poorly written. It means you have a different opinion.
We could have had the same boring "This is why X should win blizzcon!"-theme for every player but we chose to find a compelling perspective on each player that's different from the others. Naturally not everything will be covered perfectly.

This article: 1. Is missing some of the features that other articles have (the title given to each player, but not to Naniwa) 2. Is missing some of the facts about Naniwa (e.g., that he said that SC is his passion and he plays it because of it, not just because he wants to win) 3. Is missing the facts about Naniwa's road to Blizzcon (ironic, isn't it?) 4. Is biased (as you've nicely put it "It's written from a perspective")
All in all, this article is an example of bad journalism and media bias: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journalism_ethics
I'm just starting to realize more and more how bad this article sucks.

I think you've got something wrong here. We decided to do this so you guys could enjoy a certain perspective for each of these players going into Blizzcon, proposing a certain perspective/storyline to them that we worked out. Zealously covered 3 different players. If you wanted the preview series to address the same points for each player then sorry but this isn't for you. We chose a different route. Journalism ethics has absolutely nothing to do with it.

It doesn't? Think about it twice.

Let's face it, you're a giant Naniwa fanboy and you wanted something else. Now you're dissatisfied. That's unfortunate but this article was not made to please Naniwa fanboys. It was to give a certain perspective on Naniwa.
Have you never seen a columnist express their opinion? I think you're heavily mistaking this for an objective series of reports. It's a series of hype previews made to give an interesting (and different!) perspective on each of these players.
Not absolutely everything Naniwa has ever said or done has to be included in something like this.

Look, I know that we are a small community, so we have to keep all together. All what I'm saying, is that even as a small community, we should have standards. In the end, TL is the main text content creator for SC2. And we all care about it.

if you can do better, then do it, otherwise stop complaining as much as you are

I think your criticism is fine for the record, I mean where the hell is the title!? Naniwa - The Dragon Slayer come on man give me that

How about this standard: Zealously doesn't get paid to write these articles. He does it purely because he likes giving something to the community. If the standard is shitting on everything passionate people do then count me out as well.

hmmm, i think it's a very bold statement, that nani is more polarizing than idra was, to say the very least. other than that great write up, so hyped!!! Go nani!

Well, I am a giant Naniwa fanboy.
And this article is biased and plain bad.
The facts.
And to answer you: Yes, a columnist can express his opinion. Does Zealously use forms like "I think", "In my opinion", whatever other forms that are appropriate for the expression of opinion?

I would have gone with [A]Naniwhiteguy, probably.

Epicness! I'm so pumped I had to write it down, may it be my second forth post here ever. Let the show start already.

"It doesn't matter to Naniwa if he's a hero or a villain, all that matters is if he is a winner or a loser." Perfect.
