If it was a Korean losing three times to cheese there would be the same comments but more along the lines of: LOLOLOL STUPID FOREIGNERS CAN'T BEAT US IN REAL GAMES They talk about professionalism while showing none themselves on this issue. Uh, you do Koreans have nothing but the upmost respect for foreigners.... who also show respect. Koreans WORSHIPPED Guillame Patry. They also respect Huk and recognize him as one of the best (if not the best) Protoss players. | ||

Code A GSL August (0-2). And yet another tournament... Code A October (0-2). And Code A November (0-2). MLG Dallas (24-2) MLG Providence - 2nd TSL 3 - 2nd Blizzcon EU invitational - 2nd Homestory cup 2 & 3 - 2nd/2nd And as far as being "worhty" of being in this tournament; yes, the results said 0-3 before the Nestea match, but those were hard earned wins for his opponents, EVEN when they were completely unscouted build order win cheeses. | ||

But what makes this special is where it happened. I'm sure there are a lot of people who poke fun at the pope, I do it sometimes when the opportunity presents it self  but there is a time and a place and you certainly DON'T want to do something like that whilst you are in the middle of the Sistine Chapel around people who would get offended by even the smallest off hand joke.I know in MLG there have been games where people have decided the outcome with an actual coin flip, but this didn't happen at MLG, this happened in Korea during an important match It is okay to be angry but it is even more important to use your darn brain. I'm still a fan of Naniwa, but fan support isn't going to get him out of what hes got himself into | ||

This is really, really getting out of hand. He didn't probe rush, he intentionally threw his workers away . He took his hands off the keyboard and let them die, he didn't micro them or try to win at all. He lost on purpose. You keep trying to make it seem like his thought process was, "Well I'm desperate to win at least one game, so I'll try this and see if it works" when it was more along the lines of "I don't give a shit about this, just gonna a-move my drones and let them die so I can get this over with." | ||

He probably was frustrated about the previous matches and tired. It's pretty obvious that after you lost 3 games and basically all hope and you're still forced to play a game you CAN get quite frustrated.

Thats not at all what I'm trying to say. What he did was nothing else than just forfeiting. And yea it kinda was a dick move but what the heck, people do it all the time with 6 pools, proxy 2gates and everything. Or they simply just forfeit. Naniwa now took his workers to do that and suddenly he is the worst progamer ever. At least he played WITHIN THE RULES, unlike other pro players who got their pitchforks up against him. | ||

I don't think he deserves the self righteous bullshit of the people here, but hes deserves every bit of fury hes getting from the Korean community. | ||

The games weren't being televised in the biggest Esports country in the world. He was supporting his team mate. They weren't the center of attention. Proxy 2 gates or something.

I don't consider a games with 5 rax of one base, proxy-stuff, rushed 2-port-banshee and whatever to be good, yet the same guys are gfiving these games. It's just formal bullshit just as whenever a player leaves the team it's the same boring "didn't fit our style, great man, good luck in future" and how every new team is "an experience to broaden my skill as a player and an oppertunity to become better". I don't think calling out the GSL curse in a live interview is just formal stuff. I can't think of any korean players with Naniwa's attitude or anything approaching it. The closest would be some of the top GSL players pulling wacky builds in matches they don't care about, like in the World Championships when Cella tweeted asking the fans what builds they wanted his players to use. They still play out the games and go for it, though. What Naniwa did is just foreign - so to speak - to the entire Korean mentality of SC. | ||

NaNiwa didn't murder anyone. He just pulled his probes. Just waiting for some moron to say: "omg Sweden is such a bad country with evil people they are so bad mannered yada yada yada". Like a fucking witch hunt. | ||

ok, to me naniwa didn't let anyone down but nestea, so if someone should be mad it's him. Since i think he was looking for revenge. Don't really understand why fans and other gamers have a problem with it. | ||
