Dear OP,
You take the quote absolutely out of context. Please don't do that again.

Maybe the statement was a bit harsh but Naniwa is totally right about this one. You could even see ingame what he was thinking when he sent around a probe to all far away expansions.

stop calling people idiots and stop calling their actions idiotic. just say that maybe it would have worked better if he didn't do it or something like that. i would expect this from naniwa, he has a past with poor attitudes as far as i can understand. you can have an attitude without having a poor attitude and i just think that people who have poor attitudes are hurting esports.

You probably never saw him during wc3 lol

By the way, Nani is right, pulling drones was really an idiotic move and usually you don't expect stuff like that from a 3 times gsl champion

its actually not out of context at all and he said just that, people are just trying to defend nani


It is out of context. He was clearly talking about him pulling the drones making him seem like an idiot instead of a genius.

It is out of context. I am by no means a huge Naniwa fan since he did do some pretty stupid things in the past but I have to defend him here. His wording is just poor. He certainly is talking about this particular situation in the game where Nestea made a mistake (or something stupid, did not see the game actually), which was idiotic. Idiots do idiotic things. Therefore Nestea is an idiot. There is no way that he means it as Nestea is an idiot in general.

I think this might be a case of not haveing english as your mother language. Nani can be abit BM sometimes i guess, but i really doubt he actually thinks Nestea is an idiot.

A side note: why does people go on about jet lag, Naniwa probobly arrived in the US the same time as Nestea (he lives in Korea aswell)

(- NesTea probably suffering from jetlag, because of his tight schedule in code S not allowing him to fly in sooner)
=> NesTea is an idiot

Sorry, but I've given students 0 points in math exams for conclusions that have been better than this one, and I mean this seriously.


If you can say NesTea is jetlagged than you should also say that NaNiwa was jetlagged since he also came on the same plane with the korean players.

In my experience people in Europe are much more blunt than is typical for Americans. I don't think he means this as an insult or a challenge. Moreover, it could be just a translation error. If you watch the video and take thte video in context, it seems much more acceptable.

Poor choice of words, but it's not like English is Naniwa's first language, and he was pretty clearly talking about the decision. Seems like a storm in a teacup really.

Out of context.

Naniwa explains that he was afraid of a hidden Expansion, when he saw all the drones come out of the base, when he canceled his building Nexus. He said (talking about Nestea's expansion, after the interviewer asked about the drone transfer twice):

I blocked it and thought he'd do some smart shit, like building a Hatchery far away, and then transferring it. I thought he was that genius, but apparently he was just a idiot. (interviewer laughs) what he did made no sense, (interviewer "yeah that was a little bit confusing") so I made just two canons and had the much better economy.

Either way, Idra get's away with saying worse shit than this every day so I don't see how this warrants a thread.

it's pretty obvious that
1) he's talking about nestea's decision
2) he's not very good at expressing himself in English
