We sat down with Liquid`TLO today after his games and discussed life in Germany, his views on how to perceive the game, and NaNiwa. TLO goes to a lot of poetry slams now apparently.

As TLO starts talking about his training regimen I'm thinking that he's training for a boxing match or something.

can we get an [Interview] in the title of these? Over the xmas break I want to watch all the interviews that are out there, but there are so many like this that will be hard to find..
Can we help spread the word and create pressure to get Rob Pardo to replace Browder as head of Sc2? Pardo led the team for broodwar, frozen throne, and wow/BC. We need to make this a thing before LotV development starts. Think about it.

Rarely watch the whole of an interview. Loved this one though.
But he is never making short-term prediction, everyone of his prediction are based on fundenmentals, but he doesn't exactly know when it will happen... So using these kind of narrowed "who-is-right" empirical analysis makes little sense.

Why? Nothing to see here folks. Chirping is chirping for a reason and even if Naniwa wasn't a top foreigner he'd still go strong with the branding anyway. Besides that, Nani's been very consistent for a long time now. I think it's pretty clear.

Holy crap the amount of TLO hate here is astounding. How in the hell could anyone hate a guy who is simply so nice?

Anyway, TLO's got Naniwa's number next time. I expect TLO to be the next big European player. Naniwa wont fall off, but TLO will get better and better.

Lol that's so random, there's almost no hate at all in the whole thread, and this is a Naniwa-involving topic on TL so we should know about hate.

Idk. NaNiwa is a mechanically a much stronger player than Dario is. Also, when we look at attitude, NaNiwa has a cutthroat attitude while TLO focuses on more doing his best in the game and RL

Mostly because Naniwa shit talked TLO in one of his blogs calling him "fake" or sth.
