This is way overblown. It may be disrespectful to Nestea, but I doubt it hurts Tea's feelings.

LOL I got to the part where there's nothing to do in America or Europe, only South Korea. I hope he's referring only to starcraft. Still, I'm not hinging my happiness on Nani's remarks, and I doubt most pros are either.

Then you should watch the entire segment and not just take what the OP said as fact.

This thread should get locked and the OP warned for starting useless drama by taking a sentence and completely twisting it out of context.

Artosis's hype is really starting to have some really negative effects on the community. Well it's been having bad effects for awhile but man this is just sad.

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.


Naniwa comes from Korea as well ffs... I'd be sad to have you as a teacher.

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)


using 'x is an idiot' as shorthand for 'x did something dumb' is common among native speakers

Please place this in context, he was talking about the decision of pulling drones on Taldarim...

Who cares, its his opinion. Don't get so butthurt, he probably just said it instinctively.

More accurate/telling quote.

Q: Do you think Nestea is still the top Zerg in korea?
Naniwa: No, check/drg/leenock/lucky are all better vs P

Its true too Nestea has been looking downright awful lately how many excuses are you allowed to make before hes not #1 anymore?

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.

reading comprehension

IT: When he sent drones, your probe saw it obviously, and ... you lost minerals to nexus cancel and built cannons..
Nani: ....I thought that he would do some smart shit like building a hatchery far away and just transferring it, I thought he was that genius but apparently he is just an idiot, what he did made no sense...

Is that out of context?

Aren't they talking about the specific situation? About Nestea pulling drones and delaying the expo.

Remember english isn't his first language. My guess is that he meant that specific decision wasn't that great.

It was obviously a joke when taken in the context it was used in. It's the same situation as if I were playing basketball with someone I knew was pretty good at it and he put up an airball, and I were to say "I thought you were pretty good at this game, but apparently you suck". It's hyperbole for comedic effect.

Jesus fucking christ, you people are oversensitive.

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.


That is exactly what I am talking about, the way you word things. What does respect really mean? respect is shown by the way you put words next to each other in a sentence.

@OP .Sure his words might have been abit harsh, but are your retarded? You can't just pull something out of context like that.. and quite frankly, Nestea actually fucked up pretty badly that game....
In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.

Naniwa is very talented but he is really immature that's why I will never be a fan of him. Skill is not all that matters.
