Thorzain might want to lock his door at night.

Also, someone make a Naniwa "Got Milk?" cheerful.


SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO THIS!

And fighting! I'm soo happy he cleaned up his act and got it together, shows what he can do! He's amazingly talented!

i think this is a very good point,

"Nope, I think he as well as I were hiding builds for the real deal and did not really play our most serious styles."

no one should look into that series too much

South Europeans are strange in that regard :D When I was in Italy I asked for milk at a restaurant they first gave me a tiny box of milk to put in coffee, and I said I wanted a big one they gave me a big glass of WARM milk, WTF???? I just want a big glass of normal cold milk!

I am so puzzled who I want to win, both are Swedish so that doesn't factor... Nani is protoss, but Thorzain is an underdog.. Ahhh I hope Thorzain win, sorry protoss brothers, because Nani will go to Korea and dominate either way, so Thorzain can have this

edit: today is the World Championship Ice Hockey finals at the exact same time as the game!! Sweden - Finland, hate-match, omg which to watch?

Q: Sweden has been doing very well in international events lately, does that come as a surprise? Are you proud of the all-Swedish finals?

I am obviously proud of an all-Swedish final, it is a bit surprising because the support from the community in sweden is so bad for swedish players compared to a lot of other nations like Germany. Player quality wise its not surprising in the least.


Ehm.. lol? I bet he'll take that back whenever/if ever he comes home from korea, after making it to the semifinals in the gsl twice in a row, and beeing celebrated at the airport..

All in all, cool interview though, he's a baller!


I don't see what is wrong with his statement. Swedish fans in general suck at supporting their team/player compared to a lot of other nations. And to be honest I wasn't that impressed by the welcome Jinro got at the air port. It was a nice arrangement but the turnout wasn't anything special.


While there seems to be a fairly vocal, Swedish minority here on TL which holds Sweden in very high regard (perhaps too high as it tends to get fairly embarrassing from time to time), the "jante" law runs deep in most. Not that many Swedes cheer for the home team. I also feel the majority of the Swedes I've met in some SC2-related way hold Korea in much higher regard than Sweden. Personally I feel it's a pretty healthy stance though. In an ideal world people would value high skill and sportsmanship over nationality in every sport. :D I guess it wouldn't do much for the competitive spirit though..

By the way; to cheer Naniwa and Thorzain up, TL could always play the Swedish national anthem before the game! ..or not..I guess it's best that tradition stays out of eSports.


Well said! I completely agree with your philosophy there. Seeing as in a way, we're all our own nations and fight for ourselves, or our teams.
And like you hinted, it doesn't really do much for the competitive spirit. So I don't think Swedes should stick their support for Swedish players beneath their chairs!

I'm very proud of being interested in e-sports, even though it needs to deal with sexism among other pressing issues at the moment. It's wonderful to be interested in something like Starcraft 2 which everybody can play despite of physical conditions and etc. And the fact that Naniwa has been practicing rigorously on his playstyle AND his manners, that makes him shine internationally! By doing so he's becoming a great example for me to introduce others to e-sports. Seeing as sports in general takes out the worst in people. We don't need people to be rude, it's a harsh world enough as it is. (Even though, you can never blame the things you say during the heat of the moment.)

I think Swedes should be proud of their fellow Swedes taking their opportunities to practice and fight in a format that isn't as generally embraced by the public. Sweden is a great gaming nation, as living here grants the population tons of opportunities to 'game on'.

And with those aspects in mind, I say; gogo Swedish gaming and Naniwa HWAITIIIIING!1!

No support from the swedish community? D: Well, he's certainly got mine!

At least we've got a great crowd, according to MC

I just came back from a trip to Spain... near impossible to find milk... and if you tried to get anything else than beer/wine for lunch/dinner, the waiter looked like a questionmark...

I'm averaging 1.5 liters of milk per day, but I did grow up on a milk farm...

I would say it's strange for us too

In France it's same as Italy or Spain i guess. Nobody drinks milk for dinner. Water, soda, wine, beers, champagne sometimes, but i never seen anybody asking for a big fresh milk glass, even children !

It's very common in swedish restaurants and bars?
