It was very obvious, at least to me, that Naniwa was bitching and whining so he could pull off a pre-planned cannon rush on Shakura's Plateau.

There should be an asterisk forever associated with this win.

*Won after choosing the map and delaying the game multiple times for an unfair advantage".



I'm getting fed up of reading this thread...

Nani has won with Nestea TWICE, and he won with MVP too... You don't like your old idols loosing? Go cry somewhere else.

Regardless of what you think of the game in question, there really needs to be a rule that players can't communicate with anyone except tournament officials during pauses.

Jokes aside, Naniwa won. However, there should be absolutely no justification for a coach entering hsi player's booth mid-game; even without proof, that is a behaviour so inconvenient, so inherently prone to cheating that at least a formal warning and/or excuses should be issued.

I agree on this of course but the question then is whether the staff allowed the other person to enter the booth (which I assume is the case) or if the person just barged in. You cannot really fault Nani for it if MLG staff allowed it, then it is their responsibility in my opinion. Does not mean it is not a bad decision though

MLG definitely dropped the ball big time if they allowed Naniwa to watch the replay of an unfinished game to know what his opponent's BO was going to be in the regame. Of course it gives an advantage to know that your opponent is going hatch first to make Naniwa go forge first instead of Nexus first, which he often does instead.
I guarantee you that experienced officials from Korea such as those employed by KESPA would have never allowed this situation to take place, and if it did take place - chances are Naniwa would have gotten an instaloss. Also, a manager should not have really been allowed to speak to Naniwa without a ref present.
But what can you do? The MLG refs are probably pretty inexperienced with StarCraft in general, so it's to be expected.

Wait what? Did he really get to do that, any text that can confirm it?

If he did then I would defiantly call it cheating =/

If this is indeed true then I have lost all respect for Naniwa. As hard as it may sound this is cheating and should be punished with a loss, considering that he also flamed the tournament and admins before while it was clearly his own fault for loading the wrong map...

can someone explain why the game where Naniwa didn't do anything for a minute was restarted at all? Didn't watched it but from what I read I have the impression he was at his computer when the game started? So anyone can just start the game now and look at the screen doing nothing and then have the game restarted?

Wow a zerg, Nestea of all zergs going hatch first, on a huge map ? Hmmm, to realize that you must be a cheater because zergs never go hatch first.

Yes, it is MLG responsibility that they allowed the coach of Nani into his booth, and then they let the game to be resumed, instead of restarted. I guess MLG decided this is better than the other option, probably because they were in rush etc.

so he starts the game, then decided to not do anything to get his wishes? I mean if he just stood up and went to the toilets, that would be sort of fine (and probably would not have risked anything more than a technical foul). He started the game knowing that he would not do anything to force this situation (without telling Nestea probably), even without anything which happened after this, it's just a unfair thing to do.

Good to see Naniwa hasn't changed one bit since his WC3 days. He never matured, it was just that Odee managed to whip him in to place while he was in Dignitas.

He was there to relay a msg from MLG/Sundance., according to people on the scene.

Very sneaky indeed, mlg involved in the big james bond plot of cheating a win over nestea??? /sarcasm hardcore

Some people need to chill, in a major way.
