SCII: Naniwa 2-0 Genius

by hattivatti • 18 Apr 2012, 10:53 • Journals
SwedenNaniwa just won his first match of the second group stage at GSL Code S against Korea, Republic ofGenius, after winning both matches of the previous group. He showed solid judgment and decision making and simply outplayed Genius. I think he might be on to something this season.


Unfortunately you need the GOMplayer to view the stream, but here's a link anyway.

E: Reasons it's a fairly big deal so far:
- He's the only foreigner in the tournament, after CanadaHuK even dropped into Code B.
- He was denied his Code S spot that he got from the GSL/MLG exchangement program after he probe rushed NesTea in a game that didn't matter.

+++UPDATE+++
Naniwa 1:0 Virus on Ohana

that probe rush was so epic :D back then

Gotta love NaNiwa! I'm so happy that a guy who causes some controversy and has a "so fuck?" attitude is doing well. I get so bored of people who are all nicey nicey in SC2.

Also, nothing unfortunate about the game being on GOM's player, quick DL and free to watch in LQ.

I understand why people may dislike him, but at least he's playing to win at all costs, unlike Stephano, who's all about the money, or IdrA who's only playing the game to whine how all other races but Zerg should be ashamed of their race.

you calling him racist?
Parent

TaloN 18 Apr 2012, 16:01
Who said anything about racism? Naniwa's personality shifts to arrogance whenever he plays competitively. He does things that could potentially piss off the community, such as the probe rush against nestea?

Only has to beat SuperNova next

I think its more of a big deal that before this season Naniwas GSL stats were 1-11 or something

Foreigners doing poorly in GSL is nothing new, really.
Parent

TOMOYO 18 Apr 2012, 12:55
most likely because of the gap between foreigners and korean'style.
Look at ganzi'stream now he's in coL. He's getting raped, cannot even into GM league since 2 weeks.
Parent

hattivatti 18 Apr 2012, 12:58
What does Ganzi being in coL have to do with anything?
Parent
▼
TOMOYO 18 Apr 2012, 13:06
the difference of style between koreans and foreigners, as u said not a lot of foreigners are performing in gsl, that's mainly because despite a skill difference the gamestyle is completely different.
Therefor i was pointing ganzi's case
Parent

hattivatti 18 Apr 2012, 13:07
Sure but for all I know he's still playing in Korea. Being in a new, foreign, team doesn't justify a skill drop.

wtf are u talking about? he wasnt in gm because the leagues were locked and gm is opened yesterday. and hes there now 0o

getting raped by cheesers from time to time isnt that big deal is it? he made it to IPL 4 out of openbracket which was full of koreans..pretty good success no matter what
Parent

TOMOYO 18 Apr 2012, 13:57
oh that i didn't know about lock, been watching his stream and especialy lately, he's getting raped by zergs most of the time, and that was not cheesy

Just pull a CatsPajamas and go with Stuart Saw. Has a nice superhero ring to it, like Peter Parker or Bruce Banner.
