Terran were doing marine scv all in since day 1, Naniwa just showed the new toss metagame, probe and nothing else rush! trolololol
Koreans as usual have no sense of what sports are all about, it's normal that a person will underperform in a tournament if his previous games were completely shit, see football worldcups, or any other sport you wanna mention, teams will do this shit and so will single players. Plus as Naniwa said, he could've just 4gated or double proxy gate some cheese action and lose anyway, instead he decided to just worker rush same deal same result.
Stop whining moralists, Naniwa deserves to be where he is cause when it counts he plays his A game, the games he played before the Nestea game prove it as he went heads to heads every game.
To the Koreans players who said "disrespectful to who couldnt participate to the tournament", F**K off and practice harder so maybe next time if you don't suck you might be there instead of wasting time minding about other ppl's actions!

What he did is in no way good for starcraft or the GSL. By worker rushing he flat out disrespected his fans.

Should it really be up to the players to always try to do what's "good for starcraft or the GSL"? I can agree that this was probably not good for GOM/GSL, but in an international tournament like this, maybe GOM should have considered not showing games that don't matter in case something like this would happen.
they probably thought that with all the drama and "rivalry" between nani and nestea that the story behind the game was worth showing it..

How he played doesn't change anything. Don't get you panties in a bunch.

Like MC fighting his little heart out against DRG even though he would have gone through either way.
Beyond this, It's silly to argue with fanboys for naniwa, just like it was silly to argue with any other fanboy to see things rationally. But aside from that, there is a standard for professionalism. And it's a standard that in general, koreans take very very seriously. It's something I wish we took as seriously. All the people defending such actions...I don't understand. That doesn't mean anyone should really go out of their way just to badmouth someone ever, but to defend his actions and behavior either shows a lot of willful blindness, or a completely different view on how "serious" and legitimate esports is trying to be. Then maybe the organizers should think about not making the players have to play a match that is totally pointless for the players since it doesn't lead to any advancement for any of the players. That's exactly what it is. Pointless. A fight for nothing. Maybe Naniwa shouldn't agree to those terms then.
And what term that he agreed on did he break???? Can you link me the rule that state you are not alowed to worker rush?

Im gonna clear some things up before im done for today ^^
1. I love South-Korea and the people. (except for the jackasses talking smack about naniwa).
2. I can understand why some naniwa fans who are not as hardcore of a fan as i am can get dissapointed by NaNiwa's decision to just throw that game.
3. But for god sake........ don't jump @ his personality. It was a game that didn't matter since it was pointless. You should know that NaNiwa has a huge winning ego (when there's something to fight for).
He gets in his gaming-mode and does whatever he wants. It has nothing to do with what he's like in real life etc. Because in real life he's not in game-mode where all he cares about is winning. So don't judge the guy so hard. People are being way to hatefull on him as a person here.
You don't actually know him irl. I don't eighter. But i have enough iq to not judge him from behind a monitor.

NaNiwa best Toss in world, Koreans are just hypocrites

I'm talking about the whole playing pointless matches thing. If he feels like he doesn't have to play a pointless match, which he has since stated in the post match interview, he shouldn't agree to play all the matches no matter what the result.

Honestly i dont like Korean culture. For me its full of bullshit hidden behind tradition. It's cool that you don't feel "offended", but he is still dissapointing a lot of people. A lot of other (deserving) pro gamers could be in this high profile tournament instead of Naniwa and a lot of people paid or stayed up late to watch him play, and he's disrespecting every single one of those people. Regardless of if you feel "offended", you would've rather seen him play out his game and it's simply unprofessional not to do this. And good job on shitting on an entire culture in one sentence. But don't worry, I personally don't feel offended by you offending Korean culture, so because one person doesn't it's probably alright.
Honestly I have mixed feelings about this whole match. For one I am a bit disappointed that I didn´t get to see them play, but at the same time if you are a fan of Naniwa you are a fan of his desire to be the best at all costs. He wants to win when it matters ergo he can be very tilted when he loses. If he feels that they won´t play at their best since noone has anything to lose or win then in Naniwas tilted eyes there is no point.
If GOM would have been smart about it they would atleast let them play before the group play. All players agree BO1 is frustrating, then add the frustration of beeing "cheezed" out in all of your games and then be forced to play a showmatch.
I am biased as I am a fan of Naniwa since I think his play at the MLGs with the FF and decision making was flawless. On top of that I fukking hate short cheeze games no matter who played and who won/lost. When anyone(including koreans) cheezes to a fast win I feel disappointed but hey noone is ever complaining about rock scissor paper. Would it have been so much more fullfilling if let´s say Nestea would have 6 pooled Naniwa for the win instead of Naniwa prushing with probes? According to alot of people here that would be fully acceptable and not BM/disrespect although I find it f'ing disgusting.

@oGsMC
After watching today's games I lost all words. Does he know the meaning of the word "pro". The role model for my professional mindset is Mr. WhiteRa. He really loves his fans and never gives up and is nice to everyone. Is there anyone that hates WhiteRa? I hope Naniwa can look at WhiteRa and change his mindset a bit. He doesn't even think about his opponent and in my opinion that sort of behaviour isn't right. If I had 3 wins and 0 losses and was already guaranteed first place while Naniwa was at 0 wins and 3 losses I wonder what he'd think if I just gg'ed out straight away since I'm already 1st and don't want to play him. If he says it doesn't matter because there's no money on the line then I don't think there's anything else I could say except that you are not a pro. After seeing what Naniwa did it makes me think that HerO who was really disappointed in himself after losing is a really amazing person.

I realy cant believe that naniwa did that i know he has some manner problems, but this this is just stupit actually u can clearly say that bronse league players would of had a better chance there cause i mean WHAT .... speechless!

It was a showmatch. Same things happens at MLG - or did with the old format - in groupstages.
