You say you're excited to check the news to check upon whatever shenanigans terrorists are doing.. they usually kill people. Seems a bit fucked up, mate.

I think TL.net decides who deserves one, and it seems that NaNiwa actually does.

In that case your are comparing Naniwa to terrorists (altough you claim not to) wich doesnt make it any better.
Shitty post stays very very shitty

Additionally your quoted post isnt stupid at all. Look at other big industries, you need ppl like Naniwa who make stuff controversal, it gets the ppl going. It generates the attention you need to make an industrie.
Simple example (just as simple as your terrorist statement): you think hollywood would draw so much attention and ppl you give up on their lifes to try to become succesfull there without all that gossip/drama around? think not

Why do you hate him so much boxer? It's not like he's a serious criminal or something.. Did he do something to you personally? :-S

Regardless I'd say Naniwa is the most successful foreigner against Korean, especially when the scene has been very saturated with Koreans. He's the only one who's able to stand toe to toe with many Koreans even as Kespa players entered the scene, beating Dear (during his peak), Innovation, Hyun, Jaedong, San, Duckduck, and also reaching multiple finals against Leenock and life.

Most foreigners can only dream what he has achieved. IMO he did better than Stephano in this regard.


aligulac appears to be down but something tells me Stephano is way ahead in that regard.

Naniwa's only real advantage over him and most foreigners is that he was successful against Koreans in the gsl. Back to back ro8s in 2012 (when the competition had really ramped up) is quite a feat but still I'd firmly rank Stephano ahead of him as the undisputed #1 foreigner. After his big IPL3 win Stephano began to win so much against Koreans it almost stopped being noteworthy. He really felt indistinguishable from the average Korean zerg.

Hell, even in Stephano's nadir, he was still the only foreigner to ever make a WCS final during the Korean invasion of 2013-2014.
