Even if Naniwa called Nestea bad, who really cares? Naniwa has proved he can put his money where his mouth is, and people should stop bitching. Nestea is the best zerg in the world, or meant to be, Nani beat him and called him bad, who cares? If you're "offended" you need to get out into the real world more, where it's not pink bunnies 24/7

This is the part that makes me wonder:

Starting position is obviously not the only thing NaNiWa is seeing in that replay. He's watching NesTeas starting build order, completely unbeknown to NesTea! Considering he doesn't have any issues pulling up the replay, who even knows what he's doing while he's "going to the bathroom?" He could easily be talking to someone who's already been watching NesTea play for the first minute+ of the game.

The fact that he pulled up the replay is horrid, I mean, why would he do this ? he saw the entire buildorder and didn't let Nestea know and has/could have gotten away with it.

I know you can look at the score screen but maybe he clicked it away or something, this isn't something you usually plan upfront.

It's nothing that you can't learn from the score screen anyway. That's the thing all these hysterical people are not getting.

The build order and the first minute is viewable without opening any replay, Nestea saw Nani's too.. Battle.net feature.
Maybe he wanted to calm down a bit who knows, he did nothing wrong either way.

You can watch the build order without watching the replay in the score screen

All this drama is really going on my nerves-_-

If there is really a problem it's not to us to decide if it should be punished or not, it's to MLG staff

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.

Mandatory "drama is killing esports"


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.

Is it so terrible to say that he thinks other koreans are better ? Have you even watched the interview ? Watch Firebat heros cermony vs savior back in the days and youll see what it was like then. If thumbs down is too offensive Im not sure where were heading lol..

You realise this can be seen from the score screen as well ? Or are you just out to flame Naniwa like the rest of them ?

To OP: can you PLEASE put the correct information in the OP. Post the link of the second post I made in this thread + the fact that the buildorder can be seen from the score screen. That would solve so many problems and slow the momentum of all the trolls running around.

Wow...Now thats some serious meta gaming going on there Who knows what actually happened. But if according to that thread, he got to watch the replay, and see Nestea going hatch first, so he knew he could cannon, and giving him an edge early game, thats HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Quote from the Reddit thread

"Edit 2: NaNiWa had nothing built before they paused again at 1:49. NesTea still didn't have a pool at this point either (he went hatch first.) Immediately after the break NaNiWa proceeds to cannon rush, and takes an early game advantage. Can someone else who was there confirm what happened during the delay?"

TL ♥'s drama.
TL killing ESPORTS?

Joking of course, some of you guys love drama and overreacting too much. Naniwa didn't cheat by looking at a replay, doesn't matter if its a disqualified game or not, weather it gave him an edge or not, doesn't matter. Nani would have cannon rushed based on the scouting info anyway. If anything the "drama" hurt him because his cannon was way later.

He beat Nestea in a fair standard length game. Give credit where credit is due. MVP and Nestea TWICE? Thats really impressive.

And about the thumbs down thing... How can you call that BM? He was clearly doing it because Nestea was cocky before the game. He deserved it I would have done the same. It had zero malice, and the worst thing is you guys think its ok for IdrA to FLIP OFF other players? What the fuck sort out your double standards.

Nani fighting, take the whole thing home (Gonna get smashed by HuK )

So let's see if I have missed anything..
1, Nestea wins over Nani in Blizzcon
2, Naniwa wins in Global invitational over Nestea
3, Nestea Says he's gonna beat Naniwa the MLG-game
4, Naniwa says that MVP was harder to beat then Nestea and that Nesteas ZvP isnt as good as others
5, Naniwa wins game 1, loses game 2
6, Game 3 has trouble, Naniwa thinks that they play on an other Shakaurast then they do, wants a break to go to the bathroom, comes back and they keep playing it
7, Internet explodes and accuses Naniwa of cheating?

I am pretty sure that I have missed something..

Oh dear. Well, apparently (according to Reddit), Sundance is looking into it.


I really don't think it was a big deal and people have generally not liked Naniwa in the past so when he does something like this people just find a way to bash on him and such. Hmm if its true that Naniwa's coach went into the booth to talk to him then yeah I would consider that cheating, but watching the replay and such is not cheating. It's at their disposal so if one player uses it and the other doesn't then its that players fault.

The coach was in there to inform him what Sundance had decided to do lol, Sundance himself joined the coach in the booth like a minute later.

6.5 Nani looks at the replay of the game he left to use the bathroom. People think that its cheating because he can see Nestea's opening.

Is it allowed? If not it's cheating.

And you can see building positions and scouting pattern on overlords which is important for cannon rushing.

You aren't getting it.

Also I think that the casters hyped the rivalry/Nani being BM... too much, i dont know if they actually saw the interview or not, cause they didnt seem to have much information about what Naniwa said.

i dont like how the internet has made apologizing so easy.. takes 30 seconds for him to absolve himself from some pretty childish behaviour, and judging by the time it took for it to get up on twitter i wouldnt be suprised if complexity more or less made him do it. if hes sorry that he has been misunderstood and meant no disrespect to nestea id rather read about a tweet that he told nestea so.
