I've been calling Naniwa as the winner of TSL over Kas in the final since day one. Except Kas didn't quite get there heh. Naniwa to take this 4-2 in convincing style.

And his actual losses are vs other protoss, not exactly the match-up that's most embarrassing to lose in, since it has a reputation for being a bit random.

I'm sold on Naniwa as the new western e-sports superstar, he's so funny in a sort of awkward way. :p
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

BoX, meaning anything higher than Bo1 (basically Bo3, Bo5 and Bo7 - pretty sure there were no Bo9's in there)

the question is what build he will use

if he 4 gates he will win if he doesnt he loses
just sayin nani 4 gate is the only thing you can do to win vs good players


LOL u butthurt too much because Nani moped the floor with ur german superstars ?
Nani only 4gates in PvP but than again so does every other protoss, if u watched his games against select in mlg where he goes nexus first its beautiful, no one else has balls to go for nexus first.
Other than that 4gate is a build just like infestor/brood or heavy mech or anything else, ppl need to realize that win is what counts


no clue why you have to insult like this. Naniwa is known for his 4 gate play...

and our german superstar is Mondragon.

I never really watched his replays or cared much when he played until MLG, to be honest. I guess he always had a reputation as a cheeser and a BM player but he has improved tremendously and am looking forward to his future accomplishments, me they in the west or in Korea


Ya I also agree with this. I wasn't a fan of his before, but recently seeing him in the dignitas MLG video, his Thorzain vs Naniwa in other games video and NASL interviews, he generally seems like a better guy... I am a fan now. I by no means think he has to be super nice all the time, but he definitely seems like a player I can respect now. In fact, a little bit of BM can make things interesting.

excellent photoshopped pictures...

that youtube game against goody is so lolz...

goody made the mistake of pulling 5 scvs to nullify naniwa's 2 proxy gateways XD (and he didn't even do it right! he attacked the gateways with scvs instead of going after the pylon.... major major mistake... that's a ton of minerals lost right there) he should have just bunkered up near his minerals and at the entrance.... XD using the supply depots and barracks to reduce surface area of his bunkers...

naniwa made the mistake of forgetting to cancel the gateway....

goody made another mistake of bunker rushing without follow through -wasting more harvesting time)

goody really made too many mistakes (that banshee being used for defense instead of harrass is just the icing on the cake)

At MLG Dallas he was asked how he feels about advancing in the finals (or winning the finals?) and he only said "It's ok."

I think it's ok if he wins.

lol actually i cheer for naniwa, but i don't know something better than "it's ok" for him.

Actually Naniwa won 36 BoX in a row, he won another Bo3 vs Lalush before he lost against SaSe in the same tournament.

NaNiWa HWAITING!

ThorZain's great and all that, hell he kicked some of the best players' asses, but judging from Naniwa's performance the last few months, he's in waaay over his head. I do, however, expect to see some of the best PvTs we've seen all year. Hyperhyped!
