He was seeded 3 times in code A and lost in the first round each time, not sure what the scores were, but it was 3 Bo3's against Check and Lucky x2. Stuck around to play GSTL during that time, can't remember how well he did. Then months later he was actually seeded directly into Code S, he never actually 'got into' it by his play. Thinking about his results from those two times is interesting to me. Naniwa definitely benefited from match-ups at the time he was bad against Zerg, good against Terran and better than people thought against Protoss (I guess that's still true of him today). You can see what happened in Code A when he drew Zergs. Once he got into Code S it was during a time when Zergs were starting to fall off. He really took advantage of the Terrans he faced and had a few of clutch comebacks in his PvP too. So I'm not sure he was all that different as a player between his Code A failures and his Code S successes. Maybe it illustrates that the difference between success and failure is more luck based than we'd like to admit (especially when we knock player 'x' for never winning a tourney). | ||

When KM was first casting sc2 many years ago, half the people on TL hated her because she was a girl. it was pretty gross. anyone who defended her was accused of white knighting. guess some of those posters are still around. | ||

I agree the hate was very much undeserved, but her casting was of...shall we say dubious quality. | ||

Naniwa will always remain one of my most favourite people of the whole SC2 universe. He was one of the very few who expressed himself, instead of conforming to standarts of behaviour that nobody wants and nobody needs, but everyone requires. I am so said that I am such a noob in games. If I were ever good in SC2, I would go on to be a pro and then after winning a tourney, I would just write FUCK all across the main stage in my own fresh shit, to show you all what it is to be "unprofessional". | ||

It had more to do with GOM's incompetence when it came to filling the position, but hey I'm sure people could make the same argument for PL lol. Comes down to the people in charge and knowing the language pretty darn well. Anyway, you have to be able to filter the good from the bad and sometimes all they see is the bad. Not only that but it's how you take that criticism and understand it as well. Not everyone can do that.

I guess you can tell who pays attention to DotA and who doesn't from this thread pretty well. It's what happens when your with the guy running that ship i.e. Loda. He's a pretty big deal in that circle. | ||

But that was very early in SC2, and one could argue that it was a different time. Naniwa went RO8 when it was more "figured out"... and what happened when Stephano tried?
