Nice overreaction by you forum guys.

How can you blame him?
He is pissed off and have no motivation to play after getting cheesed out of the tournament.

That last match means literally nothing for both of the players and shouldn't even have been played. It's a stupid format.


There are other people's interests to consider rather than Nani's you know...

People want E-sports to be seen as a real sport, if you want that same treatment, you better play the game like its a real sport, throwing games is highly frowned upon in any physical sport. Even if the game meant nothing.

you would get penalized in any sport for doing something like that. i agree


No you wouldn't.

A worker rush is a perfectly valid strat.


You trolling or just genuinely not getting it? Open your eyes and take a look around the thread at what everyone else is saying. It's not about whether or not worker rushing is a "valid ladder strat" or whether Naniwa was "mad at being all inned". Those are shitty excuses and make you look stupid.

Why did they even play that game anyway if it was a throwaway game? Not really hard to understand nanis decision tbh


Fan Service. If that game wasn't played, people would be complaining anyways.

Its pretty normal that games that dont matter arent played. They didnt do it back in the old GSL up and down match system either, why are they doing it now?


Lets put it this way. The indianapolis colts are 0-13 this season. They have an almost 0% chance of winning their next 3 games (last one could happen) and have absolutely nothing to play for at all. If anything they have something to gain by losing (drafting andrew luck). Yet they are required and EXPECTED to play as hard as they can to win. And they will. Because they are a professional team.

Yes I can understand why Nani did what he did. But it is extremely unprofessional of him. I had been quite impressed by his play in this tournament and wasn't turned off by his BM at MLG, I thought that was okay.

This? I hope he loses all his Code S games and goes straight to Code B now, he deserves it.

Yeah, I gotta agree there. If there was any hint of throwing such a game there would be outcry. There should be the same here. I'm sure Naniwa won a lot of antifans tonight. I'm one of them.

If there were betting lines out of these matches it's absolutely unacceptable regarding that as well. I doubt Naniwa researched that so it's morally the same decision.



Deal with it. Stop trying to rev up all this drama.

Don't know why people are this mad about it. He was 0-3 and tilting then had to play a showmatch just after he was eliminated from the tournament.

It is far beyond most people at TL to understand human emotion.

We want PROFESSIONALISM in ESPORTS, fuck how the players feel. -_-

Wow. Naniwa makes me sick. Between him and Idra I'm sure many Koreans believe most western pros are BM.

Honestly I think this is a bigger deal than the Coca/Byun thing, this happened during a live GSL broadcast. I hope Naniwa gets punished by somebody. Way to represent your new team that is paying you to live in a foreign country playing videogames professionally.



No it's not, you can't even compare it.


Yeah WTH...
This did not benefit Naniwa AT ALL... (AFAIK)
He someone paid him to do it then it is worse than coca-byun
However he just thought it is a useless match so he threw it

Not sure what games you were watching, but what Naniwa did is pretty justified given what just happened to him. Any other protoss would have lost instantly against those two terran builds yet Naniwa managed to make them entertaining, pretty sure only he could have done that. I can completely understand Naniwa getting tilted by constant cheese and what appears to be clear pvt imbalance and just deciding, fuck today, let's go out with a bang. He doesn't deserve any criticism for what happened, these types of actions create storylines, develops character perception and makes starcraft a hell of a lot more interesting.


I agree with Comus.

It would be also valid to say that GOM doesnt have any respect for the players/fans/ect when they decide to run an eventh with bo1.

Naniwa has one thing going for him - he has personality and creates drama, and if there's one thing that attracts viewers like moths to a flame, it's personality and drama (hence the reason IdrA has so many fans and anti-fans).

That doesn't mean he did the right thing.

Ok so everybody who would have done the same thing as him should be qualified as someone who "has personality and creates drama" ?
