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. 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?
The bolded part shows you stating your opinion and declaring it as facts. There's no point in arguing with someone like you then.

An underwelming article, i don't feel any hype at all, and there was no real knowledge ( like the different builds), or story told ( like the finals where power went out).
This one was OK. I hoped the naniwa article would give me as much chills as MVPs or JD's. Oh well, i'm still hyped for blizzcon so it's okay.

Yes, because the key to good journalism is to say "in my opinion" or "I think" every time you express an opinion. Here, I've re-written the first couple of paragraphs to suit your wants and needs:
In my opinion, no player in Starcraft II is as polarizing as (P)NaNiwa. I don't think that even Idra and Stephano, for all the dramatic headlines they produced, could divide the fans between love and hate like the Swedish Protoss.
Balance whining, excuse-making, and yelling inappropriate comments toward players and organizations is a shared trait of many progamers in my opinion, but where I think it might make a different progamer endearing, I feel that it's what alienates NaNiwa from a large subset of fans. In my opinion, the difference is that NaNiwa's outbursts don't come with a nudge and a wink, an implicit understanding that this is all for entertainment, it's all for esports, and he's in it together with us as part of this greater endeavor.
Wow, that was so much better. Good thing I added those parts in at every possible turn to make sure that you know he's only expressing his opinion, and doesn't believe that everything he says is absolute fact.

Oh btw, just to rub it in. Here's a direct Naniwa quote!
Unless I win I am not happy overall, as a person.
From StarNation trailer. What up.

Wasn't Star Nation filmed in like 2004? Things can change man.

Hehe, so you tell me that if I have my favorite player/political party/community then I will never produce a non-biased article about it?
That's a bit sad, because what's the point of avoiding bias then? Is there one DarkLordOlli?

I'm telling you that your opinion is biased and is not a fact. But you say that it is a fact. Your arguments are terrible. That's the point here.
Your criticism of giving a certain perspective about a player is valid - and that's where it ends.

Yeah, but imagine if instead of riffing and having fun, occasionally contributing and maybe putting my hand up for the next one, I just came in and was shitty about other peoples writing. How much better would that be.

Note that I didn't say "best writer" or "worst writer" about Zealously. You did say it about me. Oh, dear irony.
