Nani probes poster. It deserves a t-shirt.

Wax for Nestea Naniwa you could have used that gif from LR thread and write "watch yourself"

LOL @ art, hahaha. The bo1 format was stupid but now it's finally bo3 (would be better with bo5 but oh well).
Looking forward to some GGs

EDIT: huge props to creator of article layout too. those liquipedia etc. link under GSL logo are awesome.

Geat poster!

Really thought Stephany would make it out, but with so many good players it's hard to predict.
I hope Naniwa get's a good chans to calm down, get his practice on and come back in a while. Better than ever! And with a stronger mindset. He seems like a protoss version of Idra in his mindset sometimes.
Scrap station was the best map in SC2 history!

Good read, I dont understand Fionns disappointment in what Naniwa did though. I would have though that people who usually are thinkers would understand.

Awesome picture as well

And judging from Naniwas PvP back in the 4gate days and his current micro, an early timing push from him would seem lethal. Hopefully we'll see some varied play from him in the future.

Also, Yay, Bo5. More games of the BossToss vs Leenock can only be a good thing.

I completely understand that clearly this was a super shitty thing to do. Naniwa was out of line and his frustration and cockiness clearly got to him. But what exactly is the issue here? Naniwa did something childish and immature because he was upset? All this means is that eSports are no different than every other sport on the planet. Zidan headbutted an opposing player. Ron Artest beat the shit out of a bunch of fans. Tie Domi sprayed water at a fan then broke his nose. These are professional players under stress expected to perform well and when they don't, they get frustrated and make insanely stupid decisions.

Now, is Naniwa wrong for what he did? Of course he is. He was essentially saying "Fuck this tournament I don't even care any more". Which is immature and childish. But do I think everyone needs to take it easy and relax? Yes. Naniwa is human. Although according to his StarCraft II play almost seems like an android. But that's neither here nor there. The point is, Naniwa made a stupid decision on a game that, as he made clear "didn't mean anything" and was trying to prove a point that didn't need to be made. Naniwa and Nestea will lick their wounds, shake hands and forget all about this soon. And so should you.

I have to say, i prefered seeing a probe rush then watching 2 hardly motivated guys slugging it out in a 20 minute boring game full of mistakes. That would have been only a waste of my time

If GSL bans Naniwa (or fines him) for this, I'm done with the GSL.
