Amazing interview and I really really hope that NaNiwa decides to return to SC2, but of course it's all his own choice. I don't really enjoy moba games, but of course I'll also show my support if he decides to play them kind of games as well.

I also have a question to NaNiwa: please update your blog on tv6.se for us Swedes!

Hi Johan!

Thanks for all your fantastic showings in SC2. I am really a big fan.

I have never played league but always thought about it as I have some friends who play. Can't you stream a bit of league just to help us fans with our transition to . I think there are a lot of us who would be interested in you streaming league. I think this is the perfect opportunity to go try out another e-sport scene.

All the best!

Even after such a disastrous end the guy is still being so arrogant...

"ironically enough i got kicked out of the team for going there and doing what i did when i didnt even wanna go or play sc2"

Ironically? Those are the sponsors/teams that PAY you to go out and play those games. They dont pay you to mess around, they pay cause they expect something in return. If I hadnt showed up at work tonight what do you think would happen to me? What you are doing is a job, not a hobby. You can't have it all. If you want to just play and mess around and have all the freedom you want to do whatever you like to, then dont call yourself a progamer please. Dont ask for salaries, sponsors, interviews, etc... the irony is that you want the benefits but dont accept the duties. There is no irony in your team kicking you out, just plain realism.

The irony is also you saying "when i didnt wanna go or play sc2". We dont care about that mate. I repeat: we dont care. It is not relevant, at all. Many people "dont want" to do their job and do it anyway because of a contract, because they gave their word and will stick to it, because they have no choice and need the money to eat. If you want to act as a totally selfish guy who doesnt care about anything it is fine by me but then do it in your room, not as the representant of a team.

You have (had) an amazing job that many people envy but you treat this job and the people in this industry with pure disdain and condescendance. No surprise you get the kick-back at some point. You can keep finding excuses but the truth is, you put this on yourself.

the rest of what you said, i think pretty much speaks for itself and describes the character well:

"i dont really care anymore about that, im sure that if i practice 2 weeks in the future i can make the comeback as the best foreign player at any time if i feel like it."
"if other people wouldve "deserved it" then they could learn to qualify to tournaments by their own skill"

You speaking about skill when you won't even play the games in the world championship is... awkard, to say the least. Dishonest also comes to mind.

The irony is that he didn't want to play, but they forced him to go anyway, ultimately resulting in him being removed from the team and no longer being able to play for Alliance. Incidentally, you have no idea what's in his contract. Does it say that he has to go and play in every single tournament for which he qualifies? Players don't go to tournaments all the time; where's the backlash on them?

He's shown respect for tons of players and people plenty of times; stop exaggerating to try to further insult him. You clearly don't like Naniwa, so why are you posting this in his fan club? Go bash him somewhere else.

I dont need to know what the contractual terms are to understand that if you are under contract with a team that pays you to play starcraft and maintain a good image, then you must do that (or atleast try your best).

By the way you don't know what is in his contract either. You accuse me of speculating while you do the same thing.
You say that Alliance "forced" Naniwa to play, refering to Naniwa's tweets. But Alliance said otherwise. Word against word.
Also this is not even relevant.

He's shown disrespect for tons of players and people plenty of times; You are the one exaggerating when you say i insulted him. I used no insult. If people are harsh to Naniwa, ask yourself the right questions.

As for posting here, well, im going to post what i want where i want, thank you. The "i dont give a fuck" kind of attitude. Naniwa style.

Also funny that you guys are horrified of the 'circlejerk' against naniwa but wont let me speak my mind about naniwa because i post in his "fan club". Sounds like a circlejerk to me.

You could call it a circlejerk but that's a pretty derogatory term. The thing is, his fanclub is supposed to be a place where he can feel welcomed and where people can basically talk about that they appreciate him. A safe haven of sorts. Yes, it can be called a circlejerk, no-one denies that. But that doesn't matter here since that's the reason we (well, except you and some other people) are here. So, if you want to discuss his arrogance, bad manners or whatever, create a thread in the SC2 forum or on reddit. Those discussions are not meant to be here. Thank you.

Being on a team doesn't mean playing in every single tournament no matter what. Idra had a bad image for a very long time on EG before finally being released. Where has Alliance said that they didn't force him to play?

You said that he treats the job and people with pure disdain and condescension. That's an exaggeration. Calling him arrogant, selfish and dishonest isn't insulting him? Ok.

Well these fanclubs are places for anyone who likes and wants to support a player, to talk about what they like about him and give him support. So bashing that player is off-topic in this thread and there for has no place here.

But I do think that you should be able to post what you post, but you need another thread. Why not start a anti-fan club thread and post all your thoughts there?

Wouldn't it be nice for all of you who doesn't like Naniwa and likes to post about it here, to have your own thread where you could discuss what you believe to be his shortcomings? I might check in from time to time to see how the progress is going. I have high hopes for you guys.

But I hope you can agree that your are off topic and will refrain from going off topic again.

Ooh the irony...
KaptenCulpa... i like your style! Just the right amount of mockery i guess i deserved

You are right this is not the right thread to do this. How could it be when people refuse to acknowledge the evidence, that he treated everyone on the scene with pure disdain and condescension. Fans die hard. Hence, i was wrong to post this in here. But it was just too tempting, and 12 hours work nightshifts are pretty long.

Altough, with the amounts of fucks Naniwa has given to this community, i doubt i will be the last one posting stuff like this here. Nevertheless, good luck regulating this thread!

Noone is ever going to listen to you when you hop into a fanclub and start posting shit. What did you expect? If you want to complain about NaNiwa, just make a thread on the general boards about how much you dislike him. I'm sure you'd get a shitload of people backing you up there.

In this thread, you're not welcome and nobody will give a shit what you say because we all love NaNiwa.

Great interview with Thorin.

Always refreshing to hear the pure thoughts of Naniwa (no bullshit, just truth and as objective analysis as possible)!

No other pro gamers dares to be as honest, reflect, analyse and talk about themselves as much either, there's no comparison... He has a special kind of confidence that nobody is close to.
