I am sure we can discuss the "awesome" final at Blizzcon between NesTea and MVP aswell, but I guess we should just call out Naniwa for doing a thumbs down to NesTea and worker-rushing a game that has absolutely no meaning to play.

Edit: wasn't it SlayerS decission to pull out Coca for that silly reason.
Koreans are to harsh.

It's all "I want to play to show good games, so I will cheese in tournament". So much hypocrasy.

Normally they would have canceled it I believe too, but maybe they thought it would entertain the viewers.

Anyways, wasn't the best idea ever for nani to probe rush

@LorangerChris Stephano 6pooled cloud twice in a row when he was 0-3 in a game that actually mattered. Nobody gave a shit. Haters gonna hate


People tolerate idra because many people love him for his bm and stephano has a huge fan base, nani doesn't have enough support to do this.

So it's ok to do it only if enough people like you? What kind of justification is that

That was in an online tournament not in the fucking GSL against Nestea

He 6 pooled Jinro in GSL, essentially the same. Idra didn't think he could win he did it because he was pissed.

But that was a "I can't win in a straight-up game on this map so I will hope he does 15CC as it's pretty popular on Jungle Basin and if he does that I can win" instead of "I'll amove probes afk"

the thing that considers me is, that if naniwa faced someone else in the last game, so that the game really would have mattered for the outcome of the group... would he have done the same thing? probably not, but if he did, THAT would be really bad.
As it is know though, it obviously doesn't matter at all

@SC2MVP (Team MVP official twitter): What a relief that Complexity transferred Naniwa to Quantic. We almost had to have that kind of player stay in our house for longer. The most disappointing game as an SC2 fan.

What's the most angering is that Nestea practiced hard into the night to practice yesterday, even though it was his birthday.


Yea Quantic must be so proud right now ^^

Do you know what makes a spectator sport? Not respect, honor, or trying your best. Spectators. If people watch, talk about it, get emotional about it, it's a good sport. The next time naniwa plays, people will watch.


So American Idol is the greatest spectator sport ever!

as many have pointed out, literally throwing your probes to nestea without microing them at all is different from cheesing.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Idra had planned to 6 pool on Jungle Basin before the series started because it was an unwinnable map ZvT and it almost worked.

I have every idea what I'm talking about. Idra didn't think he would win with that 6 pool.


There is a difference between not thinking you will win and not trying to win. IdrA didn't like his chances but he picked the strat that he thought would give him the best chance and went for it. Naniwa a-moved his probes and took his hands off the keyboard


he picked 6 pooling precisely because it was a retarded strat, hoping that jinro would never expect it. that doesnt make idra special. it almost paid off and that just shows that doing dumb shit can work sometimes.

I'll just say this,if you were a Naniwa fan and now you are "disappointed" in what he has done,you had no idea what Naniwa was like in the first place.

Well then 2 gates proxy all in is the best choice, since probe rushing clearly says "I don't wan't to play against you KTHXBYE"

I don't get the attitude of the people here. Try to make a real world comparison to main stream sports just to see how wrong Naniwa was. How would you feel if the Green Bay Packers were 0-12 (obviously not true, so can't offend anyone) in the season and obviously had no chance of making the playoffs/superbowl, and then they went on to purposely lose their remaining games by sitting on the sidelines or just screwing around in front of thousands of live spectators and millions of spectators watching on television. Their fans and football fans alike would be absolutely outraged and this would be completely unacceptable. Do you think it's fair for everyone involved with the team or game that they weren't shown a true game like they were promised?


Do you watch the NFL? You actually described what DOSE happen. When a team gos 12-0 or 0-12 they start pulling players to keep them fresh for the playoffs. Also the fans KNOW and UNDERSTAND that the game is meaningless, the ratings show it. On the Sportscenters and related shows all of them understand the game was meaningless, they repeat it over and over, barely skimming it over. Your comparison is very misguided.


The difference is that they do play the game. What Naniwa did was throw the game, he took his hands off the keyboard, there was zero chance of him winning.

some players aren't lucky enough to be born outside of korea and get on a rich non-korean team and get flown to foreign events and play foreigners to get an invite to a korean tournament

I don't think the Koreans are the ones who look bad in this situation...

Coca, Choya, Byun... They all broke rules and exploited systems to their adventage, or at least tried to. We forgave them after a punishment that was quite small.(Which is perfectly fine imho)

Naniwa drone rushes in a meaningless game and people almost want to sue him.

Not everyone has a deep-pocketed team that can send you around winning (relatively) easy international tournaments.

This is perfect example of "double standards" our community uses. You try to convince us Idra even considers 6 pool valid strat. Really?


^what this guy said.

I think it's an overreaction tbh. the games didn't matter anymore . Sure he might have offended the koreans , but I think for our community to react like this and give naniwa shit is uncalled for. I bet if it were an MLG and a player didn't show up for the .. let say 10-12th place match or something , they wouldn't get any flak for it.

Lol fuck them.

"What's the most angering is that Nestea practiced hard into the night to practice yesterday, even though it was his birthday."

uh.... and NaNiwa is supposed to know that it was Nesteas birthday? lol.....

this is like a fucking soap opera.

Soon NaNiwa will probably need a bodyguard to smash some faces.
