you were the only foreign hope as a protoss player, that alone makes u legendary.

come back if u like lotv whenever u feel like it and dont let u influence by ppl who will never like u whatever u do. they will never understand what i means to be dedicated and what it means to ultimately strive for a win and how disappointing a loss vs whomever can be if u are completely passionate about the game (because without that determination u cant be as successful as u were and thus on the other hand will be extremely down or angry after a win and that is TOTALLY normal in my opinion). they dont deserve ur attention as long as u have dedicated fans who understand and support u.

i also like ur attitude to do everything u can to win. fuck those idiotic 'gl hf' - 'lets not attack for the first 15 mins so we can build 20 bases before the first unit' - 'lets be friendly before and after the game because koreans always look friendly and only talk bad behind ur back what is much more respectful'... these attitudes are just hypocritical and ppl who show they emotions will always create diversity because ppl cant handle true emotions. especially those koreans rather live behind their fake image and hide behind it. they are like robots and its pittyful. go ur way and do what u wanna do man. fuck everyone else.

and just start rekkin again in whatever u do next.
peace

In fairness to Naniwa, when he was playing hard it was always great to watch and he drew in the viewers.

I was really angry with what he did at IEM but you can't deny he was top 3 foreigner

I really think you should not come back if you don't change your persona. You are way too toxic and disrespectful. Damn, I wanted to punch you in the face when you said Polt won the game because the lack of soundproof, that's such a terrible insult to the most mannered Polt. And the last drama with Kane, wtf with you. SC2 is better without such a toxic person.

Toxic is such a bullshit word for not being able to articulate why you want him gone. He added a lot to the scene and without players like him the sc2 scene is a lot more boring to follow. You can't say with a straight face sc2 would have been better without him regardless if you like him or not. I'm not saying all he did was for the better but he was an asset to the foreign scene for a long time, asshole or not.

it is undeniable that the game has become (more) boring since the departures of stephano and naniwa, hate or love them, and the game in general is actually meh, and i understand that playing something you dont find funny is difficult,
i hope they find something else in life they enjoy to do.

i know i'm so negative , everything i said is imho

Around 35-40 out of 110 ish posts are from new accounts (sub 100 posts), wishing he'd return.

That's around 30%. I'm not sure I'd be so alarmist and knee jerk reactionary with the 'it's not close to half... wtf are you talking about?' comment, given it's actually fairly close to that.

I hate bad manners and such more than anyone else, but I do miss cheering for Naniwa.

Anyway, I was hoping he'd have more to say that hasn't already been said. Not sure why he keeps making these posts. Everyone has moved on already, and if he's not coming back to SC2 then it's of little consequence.

And therein lies the problem with non Korean pros. Too many view SC2 not as a job but something fun to do. If you want to be on the top and deserve it it's a job.

Many of us work 12+ hours / day in the non gaming world. You want to excel at anything you have to have drive and passion. At times your passion will wane; that is where, as adults, your drive pushes you through till your passion can be rekindled. Hopefully your time away will allow you to grow up and not be such a petulant child.

Its really sad that you are actually almost closing the door to pro starcraft...
You have played some many awesome games and tournaments. Its truly a loss to sc2 that you actually are implying there are no future for you.
(as for the people who still are angry and upset beyond comprehension because of Katowiche... wow... then I can understand your decision. I forget from time to time that there are so many with a mentality of a small petty child just searching for a reason to hate and dislike... I mean... just watch the chat in avilos stream and behold the absolute bottom of human life and dignity. If these kind of people are around you, we all understand you.)

However, if we decide to ignore the obvious haters/retards you have MANY fans. We wish you ALL well and we hope that you will feel good with what you do in the future. Of course we want you back. But first of all. We want you to feel good.
