Nestea, reacts to it in the game (paused) with "...", prompting Naniwa to go "relax there, sound problem" Nestea overreacts and he gets up from his gamer cube and walks to Naniwa personally to confront him, overreacting to it stating "You want fight?" naniwa, doesnt back down and gets up and confronts him, giving each other small shoves, causing the players to come aboard and have them break up including the coach of IM and GomTV personnel NesTea, and Naniwa is redeemed DQ'ed by Mr. Chae for manner and Polt/Leenock/MMA advances, causing servers to crash on TL over the discussio and bearing the first scar of SC2 ... >_>....most likely not happen but I want Naniwa and NEstea to have one hell of a bo1 match :D Damn I remember reading this yesterday... It was kinda close! | ||

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. i work for a betting company and we take these things into consideration. you will likely find that fulham with something to play for will be favourites against manchester united with nothing to play for. were not stupid | ||

You won't get 100% effort from them, but you were expecting 50% effort. If you get 0% effort, ofc it is not right. | ||

I as a viewer don't want to watch meaningless games. I mean, even if my favourite player wins and it's a good match, I always have the feeling that the opponent doesn't play serious (well, why should he?). Naniwa just made it obvious and gets hated so much for it? I don't know how things like this are handled in elsewhere, but in soccer you can often see a team that has to play a meaningless match to bring their reserve team. This is equal to not giving a fuck about weither that game is lost or not. And it still is professional. Naniwa doesn't have this option, so he cheeses (even though he knows it's unwinnable). I sadly didn't see the game, but keep in mind that Naniwa could've just left instantly. Probe rushing was maybe actually done for the viewers and I read that a lot of people were amused by it. I have to agree with IdrA here: 'dont have meaningless matches if you want players to take them seriously.' And to what I read about the reactions: I can't believe what people wrote here and there. Choya for example or Nazgul... I don't think they were very respectful themselves. And that sugar-coats it strongly. At last, to all those 'this was disrespectful to those who stayed up to watch these games'-guys: I stayed up the whole weekend to watch these really, really dissapointing WCG-Finals. Still, I don't think Mvp should have played worse to make these matches interesting for the viewers. Do you? No? Then live with the fact that you can't expect good games just because you watch them. | ||

I can't say I agree with the guy's action, but neither do I actually view it as a particularly big deal. First of all there were NO results that the match could have influenced. Yeah he was petulant, but the people shitting on him as a person and indeed as a player are going overboard. At least here though he is due some criticism, I felt the vitriol that resulted from MLG Providence was entirely 100% ridiculous, but here yeah sure go nuts. Personally I really hate these bo1 group stages, surely there is time to extend them out til at least bo3? NASL can be criticised for many things, but as far as the actual match format went, bo5 single elimination into bo7 finals, I felt they had it entirely on the money. Bo1 is just too random a format for me to really enjoy, there are a lot of build order losses, stupid all-ins and making one mistake in one engagement can have you really struggling to qualify. | ||

I'm pretty sure Naniwa is living up (and surpassing) the expectations that fans have of him. He's the new bad boy of esports. Did he throw a temper tantrum? If he paused the game and demanded something, or shit talked the producers or players, I'd agree with you. He didn't, he kept his anger entirely inward, like a Real Man. Forfeiting a match that is meaningless is hardly throwing a temper tantrum. | ||

He signed up for a tournament to play at least 4 games. So what if it was a meaningless game? If you are a PROFESSIONAL, you play those 4 games to the best of your abilities. For a guy who is looking play GSL, this is really unimpressive. He could have lost in a hundred different ways without causing this ruckuss. And yes, when people PAY TO WATCH YOU PLAY THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO EXPECT YOUR BEST! | ||

Who set these "expectations"? A competitor, baesline, should have to 1. Practice 2. Attempt to win NOTHING ELSE. NOTHING. Naniwa had 0% chance to win Blizzard Cup, the tourney was over for him and nestea. If there is "more" that a player is being forced to do by their team per contract, it's the teams obligation to deal with that issue, and not the "communities" job to fucking bitch and moan about it and rage at Naniwa. | ||

I imagine the contracts probably do have alot more than just those 2 things. They probably do have stuff about respect and representation of the team itself. | ||
