Will be back. Nani's greatest enemy is himself. He has to go on a spirit quest to fight shadow Nani and regain his power.

I really hope the polish people give him a warm farewell then!
He was the only player I really did considere myself a fan of.
and the only player who could leave me on the edge of my chair screming at my computer.

Hope he comes back sc2 won't be the same without him..


wow, now i realized i'm not going because i'm lazy (were there last year and it was amazing). And i could cheer for him on his last tournament.

if Nani will win i shall kill myself because of wasted opportunity to be there in person...

With this he means Terran being imba vs Protoss?

Think he means Swarm hosts.

But nice subtle balance whine.


It isn't balance whine to hate Swarm Hosts from a fun standpoint.

It's a boring terribly designed unit. Is the game balanced with it? Sure it is for the most part, but I can be completely sympathetic to Naniwa (and this is one of the only times I can see myself saying this) for being sick and tired of having to deal with Swarm Host turtle bull shit on ladder.

Naniwa is totally within his rights here to be unhappy. After dealing with Broodlord/Infestor as a casual player and a spectator I was sick of the game at the end of WoL I can't even imagine how some of the pros felt, it's totally understandable to not want to have a repeat of it.

In terms of foreign hope... well, Bunny and TLO are doing great right now. Snute too! And there are always a host of other decent foreigners who can step their game up when needed... Grubby, Suppy, CatZ, Xeno, Dayshi...

We will survive! And all the best to Nani!


That's a really weak list in terms of premier event winnings.

I think you have the wrong game. This is SC2 not Final Fantasy 4.

You can't draw conclusions based on premier event winnings alone. Foreigner don't win premier events, but that doesn't mean that they are "weak". There are a dozen Korean players that haven't won anything either, but that makes them weak no more than not winning makes Naniwa or anyone on that list weak.

NASL, sure, but Coca and Naniwa were a long time coming in my opinion.

Really?

He cites not having fun anymore with the game and those tweets go back when he was still active. Tell me why Swarm Hosts aren't a contributor?

Meki was balance whining against Terran, not Naniwa.
