We are all humans, we have emotions, and we all make mistakes...it's what we do afterward that shows who we really are. Lesson learned and time to move on.

That doesn't explain what happened though, I'm genuinely curious what the fuss is all about.

I'm sorry to ask but what exactly did he do? Six pool, drone rush, etc.? I don't fault him too much although I am glad he apologized and I am always a fan. But I think that the method he used to throw the game is relevant. Any strat he did that had any possibility of beating Nightend is technically not a throw.

he kept talking about random stuff during the game while making pretty much nothing but speedbanes and suiciding them into buildings and impossible/nonsensical engagments while building hatcheries everywhere etc

it was quite clear what he was doing

No need for apologies, you did nothing wrong it's the DH regulations that are at fault, you shouldn't have someone who is alrdy eliminated decide someone else's fate, since you were alrdy out of the tournament there is no reason for you to play

For those asking about the drama:

At Dreamhack, he played against NightEnd for the chance to advance past the group stages. Ret lost the first game and at the start of the second game he paused to ask the admins about his chances of advancement. The pause went on for a few minutes while they decided. Ret learned, but didn't tell anyone (e.g. viewers, casters, NightEnd), that having lost the first game, NaNiwa was going to advance no matter what. He then went ling/baneling all-in and made some questionable decisions with continuously throwing his units against forcefields instead of possibly more useful things, e.g. killing the third base. After losing all his units, and when it was clear that NightEnd had held the all-in, Ret expanded 5 times and continuously made only lings and banelings.

During this entire time nobody really knew that this game meant absolutely nothing because Dreamhack's tie-break rules meant that NaNiwa was advancing no matter what. Apollo had erroneously announced that if NightEnd won the 2nd game then he would advance instead of NaNiwa.
Even during difficult times, when I sat down to play the game, there were times where it felt like god has descended down and played [for me].

Hey everyone.

I've had time to cool my emotions and talk to a lot of people about what happened between me and nightend, and I realize that what I did was very wrong. I disappointed the people watching the stream, my fans, nightends fans, Dreamhack, the casters, ESPORTS itself. My actions are detrimental to our lovely sport, and if other people would have the same kind of attitude, then nobody would even bother to watch SC2.

I have recently gone through a lot of stuff, changes in my life and even though it's no excuse I am not ashamed to admit that I have probably been through one of the most emotional weeks of my life. All I really wanted was to play good starcraft as a way to escape from everything that has been going on in my head. There was nothing I wanted more than to advance to the ro12, and after failing that mission after losing game 1, I literally broke down. I sat there in my chair almost crying, and sadness took over me completely. Because of that I didn't bring what I should have brought to the 2nd game of the BO3 series. I want to apologize. I really feel bad about what happened, and even though I can't change what happened I can promise you it will never happen again. In 10 years of playing SC1/SC2 tournaments I have never thrown a game or acted like I did against nightend. But it is what it is, it happened and I can't change it. I can only ask for forgiveness and move forward after this and I'll try my best to do a better job at competing. To my team, my peers, and the people watching, I'm sorry.

I also hate the fact that im taking attention away from all the great sc2 games, so please cheer for the remaining players.


To be honest I was a bit angry about how you decided to handle the situation, but the only thing i myself would ask of u when doing something like that is that you realize the wrong doing and apologies. Since you done that I don’t have anything to be angry about anymore.

I hope you remember that there are people like me that don’t only watch you because of your wins. I like to watch your games because I know you will always provide entraining good games no matter where you play or who you play. I wish you luck in the future and you should always remember that you have allot of support not because of your wins but because of who you are as a player, and let me tell you that you’re great one. So no more shit like this from you I hope

I disagree!
Your games were awesome, a lot of other games were awesome too...
Honestly? A few hours after what happened, I coudlnt even remember what happened anymore.
It was not that HUGE like you might be thinking.

You still got my support, man!
Life will treat you right when you allow yourself to be on your best shape.
Go for it!
What are you tinkering about?

Aww Ret, everyone can feel overwhelmed, this stuff happens. You've made your intention to improve and avoid this sort of scenario clear, so I'll forgive ya! Good luck in the future Ret, this is a small hiccup that we'll all learn from!
