I don't understand why so many posters in this thread think that this game didn't "count for anything" just because it had no bearing on who advances from the group. Advancing in tournaments is not the only thing that pro players are paid to do. This game was a big opportunity:

• for NaNi, Quantic, and the foreign scene to show their stuff, generally
  
• for NaNi to gain even more notoriety through his rivalry with NesTea (imagine what a nice win + ceremony would have done)
  
• for Quantic to get its sponsors in front of thousands of viewers over 25 minutes of gameplay
  
• for NaNi and Quantic to win over new fans, who will increase the worth of player and team
  
• for NaNi and Quantic to impress GOM, who might then invite/welcome NaNi/foreigners/Quantic players to many more huge events in Korea
  
• for NaNi to gain stage experience against a top top pro
  
• for NaNi to better understand NesTea, in case they meet again

I'm sure there's more I'm missing. The point is that it's silly to think that there was nothing on the line here solely because prize money/tournament placing was not in question.

A showmatch? He was gifted a spot into a prestigious tournament because gomtv is nice and basically told them to fuck off. If people aren't gonna tAke the tournament seriously then shouldn't accept the invitation.

you guys have to realize that there are some people out there that only play to win tournaments and money and whos sole purpose is to get better at the game. anything outside of that does not matter to them. do you think naniwa asked to have fans? im pretty sure he barely cares at all for what the community thinks of him because it has no bearing on his main goal. he does not owe the organization (gom) anything, because he joined the tournament to win it period - not to promote the tournament or make it better by playing entertaining matches. he has no obligations to anyone. what he did was disrespectful as a whole, but if you think about the kind of person he is then you will see why it can be justifiable and reasonable

I hope GOM punishes this behavior.
Nani doesn't understand his obligations towards the people / companies that make his "dream" possible.
Last couple weeks he took multiple arrows in his already damaged knee, he completely ruins his career.

Naniwa gained a lot of respect from me, he stood up to the system and that takes a lot of courage, why does GOM make players play when they have already lost.. Its a real kick to their dignity by making them play a game, especially since Naniwa was 0-4.

Also how is what he did any different from MMA 2 rax all inning Leenock on their first match.. if Naniwa robbed the fans of a match, then MMA did the same. People please stop with the double standards, and leave players be..

What bothers me is some people saying he should atleast have 2gate proxy or 4gated... So it doesn't matter if he doesn't care about the game as long as it's a slightly longer game?
