I think MC said it best, a professional gamer should try to give his best in every broadcast match, regardless of his mind set. It's an ideal, but one which can never be fully realized. On the other hand, showmanship and fan service should never be valued higher than the competitive spirit, because that is what really keeps professional starcraft alive. I think it would be even more harmful if someone played only to entertain and not to win. | ||

I think it would be even more harmful if someone played only to entertain and not to win. The job of a pro whatever, be it footballer, baseball player, SC2 player is to COMPETE, not just win. Yes I want to see my favorite teams and/or players win of course. But primarily I want to see them try their damn hardest to win and show some damn heart and passion for the game. If you are only a fan of team or player(s) when they win, and don't watch them when they are losing but at least are trying their hardest, then that's being a bandwagoner, not a true fan. Which is what MC was saying I believe | ||

They're your employers and you owe them some entertaining games. Meaningless in regards to the tournament or not, a lot of people were looking forward to Naniwa vs. Nestea SPECIFICALLY. Nestea himself was looking forward to it to try and redeem himself. Am I wrong to think that every single naniwa fan really wanted him to take a game off nestea at least before he got knocked out of the group? | ||

I mean he sent his probes to Nestea mainbase but he could have try a proxy 2 gates with zealots to show that he was kind of pissed to have loose vs cheesy play (polt, mma) Are you people really that mad that you got robbed a match of proxy 2gate? Like, I'm sure everyone wanted to see a epic grudge match, where naniwa once again shows nestea who's the boss (lol), but there was nothing on the line for either player so expecting it to happen would have been naive. Big whoop. | ||

OH WAIT people paid and stayed up late to watch these games and he basically shit on them..... completely unprofessional and entirely disrespectful to not only the fans but to Nestea as well. Naniwa needs to grow a pair, suck it up, play and stop being such a little baby. | ||

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