Dunno if I've seen all the interviews, but what he said kind of made sense. Nestea is being treated as the best zerg in the world, and Naniwa disagrees and thinks there are better Korean zergs. Did he actually call Nestea bad? Didn't he just say Nestea ain't that good?


He said that there are better ZvPers than NesTea, and no he didn't call him bad just that there are better _ZvPers_......

There's a lot of drama around all this naniwa/nestea thing. Looks like naniwa isn't as bad as many people claim he is though. I lost some of my respect for him first but maybe it was just miscommunication. Discuss.

I don't believe this for one second. If he truly thought it was a miscommunication why didn't he clarify before the match to Nestea, who was already insulted? Why did he stack it with a BM thumbs down? Again, doesn't fly.

All of these claims about Naniwa viewing a replay are simply allegations by an unidentified Anonymous third party, complete rumors. Until someone has actual evidence of him doing it, it's bullshit. Naniwa deserved all the wins he got.

I don't understand what he did wrong. Are people mad because he looked at the spawn location from the previous game (which wasn't the same as game 2 anyways), or what is it exactly?

He does explain why he thumbs down NesTea in his tweets.

Why didn't he clarify before the match? I find it very convenient he's attempting to explain himself AFTER the clan got involved. I think he's just backtracking/damage control.

This claim of cheating is retarded. The OP doesn't realize that build orders can be seen on the score screen anyway so there would be no particular advantage to watching the replay.

Obiously cheating, but also MLGs fault for letting the situation happen. And it might not be the deciding factor.

i actually have no problem if Naniwa did say those words to be honest. I mean everyone consider NesTea and MVP to be gods of sc2 but Naniwa smashes them both times, totally deserved to say it now then

If you send your scouting probe out at a specific time you will see lings coming your way if you spawn cross on Shakuras. This can give you significant information before you even reach the opponents base. If you don't know whether it's cross-spawns, you can miss the lings. The admins told Naniwa that the map was cross-only, so he adapted his play and scouting to it.
Such flammable little insects!

It's not obviously cheating..
He went to the bathroom after being refused to go before the games started, viewing the replay gave him nothing that he didn't know from the score screen (and isn't against the rules), an MLG admin told him it was cross only therefore the pause and the confusion. I see nothing wrong.
The "BM" thumbs down is seriously not anything you can even discuss.. Players do this all the time and it's fun and laughs, why is it different now?

Bah, this sucks so much. : /

I'm curious as to why people are saying watching the replay gives you no information. If that's true, why would he do it?
Did you ever say Yes to a single joy?

Of coure Naniwa, the best mannered player. Same situation on Blizz Invitational in Poland. And presence of your coach in ur booth during the game..

He's acting like a celebrity, not like a esport player. Even Jaedong is more modest.
