I think the biggest thing that people seem to forget is that for a lot of Asian cultures things like honor are true values.

I shall pee on Naniwa if I ever see him.

The difference between idra's 6 pool and naniwa's probe rush is that idra actually micro'd and tried to win.

naniwa wasnt trying.

Sorry, but naniwa is a god damn moron. Not just for this, but the fact that he did it after he comes off just less than a month of like 5 controversial things. It's so fucking stupid to put yourself into a position like this and have any more shit on your record. I can't believe people are still defending him when he has a long, long history of this kind of stuff and this wasn't just a "1 time" or even "few time" thing. He really needs to learn to control himself and just suck it up for the same of his career.

Ok,so it took a game(that ment nothing) of him worker rushing Nestea for people to realize Naniwa is a selfish player that only cares about if he wins,everything else comes second.
Well guess what man,that is who he is.He wasn't a different person 3 months ago,he forfeited games before this,he refused to play games that mean nothing to him.
This is who he is and it is nothing new.
If anyone is to blame here its GOM or who ever is in charge of the game scheduling,to have forced them to play this game in the first place,because I'm pretty sure that Naniwa wanted to forfeit the game and they told him he must play his game out.
It's their own fault that this happened if the don't like it,but hey,at least now they know.

This was an INVITATIONAL for champions. It's an event match as much as it is a competition. This is for the fans who want to see matches seen between their favorite players. If GOM knew naniwa was gonna be a dick to the fans and their organization they would never have invited him.

then there's no point in having the mlg/gsl cooperation if they can chose who they want from mlg instead of the placings to matter. and personally i don't care at all about matches that hold no worth, loses all the excitement, so couldn't care less if nani threw the game or not.

Koreans taking things too personal when they can be the most backstabbing and untrusty people. Like Stephano said, that he didnt trust them with replays.

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.

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.


Well Idra did forfeit the 2nd game vs Nerchio on TL open. He didnt get this hate at all. Btw im not saying what Naniwa did was a good thing

Yeah, your entire post falls apart right there since that just doesn't work.


Explain to me how that doesn't work, aren't we trying to legitimatize Starcraft 2 as mainstream and eventually a real sport. It's absolutely ludicrous if you think actions like this are acceptable in any competitive format no matter what it be.

I think it's a tad bit hypocritical of Choya since he is one of very few who have actually been banned from GSL in the past for cheating the system

Yes but hes Korean so he gets a free pass. Thats how it works in the community. Naniwa is on the same level on savior judging by most comments. I think its sad that the korean players get as much support as they do from within our community when there is none from their side.

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.

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

Sheesh... The Koreans are overreacting. It wouldn't be such a huge problem if a Korean had done it. They're starting a Naniwa "witch" hunt... and making themselves look bad. Don't take it personally, you guys.

If you don't care about E-sports or SC2 as a professional sport, that's perfectly fine. But then don't fucking play in a tournament that's partially funded by viewer fees because the tournament is no longer just a tournament but a spectator sport.

If Naniwa wants to do whatever the fuck he wants and disregard any obligations to other people then don't partake in events funded/ran/organized by those other people. You can't just only take without giving anything in return.

Really? Which Korean has done it? I mean it has to have happened before right for you to make that kind of conjecture.

So everytime people decide it's not worth the effort and nerves they should be punished to death like savior? Because I know many games where people just did stupid shit and left the game early because they were sick and tired.

Yes, "throwing away games" is bad, but it's happening more often than you people seem to realize and it's not THAT bad.

If you think 6 pool on a map that's so easy to wall of is the best chance you have you're delusional. He would have left instantly if there had been a wall there.

Stephano said he doesn't really trust sharing his relays with koreans, since he trust them, and doesn't want them to figure him out, or something to that effect


Totally not even applicable to this situation

Stephano not trusting Koreans means that they're backstabbing and "untrusty" people? That's just how Stephano is. He didn't want to take the chance and that's perfectly fine. I don't see how that somehow proves that Koreans are untrustworthy.
