lol Nani 1-12 in TLPD. And people were calling him best toss after Providence(cough tasteless)
To me this makes his decision to throw the game even worse. He does have something to gain, namely to show that can actually win a game in GSL. Honestly, he is on his way to becoming a laughing stock, as he pretty much has the worst record in GSL history (I cannot even think of anyone that comes close).

Damn right!

Exactly. if anyone here is serious about esports and they actaully want to help it grow, they must do everything in their power to prevent such immature displays in the future.
Nazgul was correct to write on this tread that his attitude by Naniwa was a middle finger to Gom, the fans, his opponents and everyone who made that possible.
I am not saying here that we should condemn Naniwa for it, after all a lot of pros came to his defence, it just shows that they do not understand how sports work.

Also even if the foreign community dosent care, its clear that the koreans do. If he intends on staying in korea i wouldnt really call it the greatest of ideas to alienate thoes who he could have ended up training for matches with in the future. While i can agree it was bad to have a match that really dosent matter take place, throwing it is just a even worse idea since no one will end up taking you serious. I really wonder if hes going to be staying at the startale house long term after this incident...
I just hope koreans make a group of death in code s and picks him for the last spot and see how he does then.

I have lost all respect to naniwa for disrespecting EVERYONE by just throwing the game......

Man, Jason Lake must be so proud of himself right now. He really realized what a liability Naniwa truly was

MMA! MMA! so happy mma got 1st! WOOT!

Oh come on... You really think people would care if he would have won Vs. Nestea?
I can see it now without exaggeration: "It was a meaningless match, Nestea was probably holding back because he has Code S coming up in a few weeks
Best part would be that it is true. Even if they had a "real" game, Naniwa would have not played his best, and Nestea probably would have messed about.

Consenting to play mediocre games because of a lack of motivation and then do nothing in an effort to make sure that the cause of that lack of motivation is dealt with is also disrespecting to the fans. That's what most players do when faced with a situation like this, and in the case of the Koreans they then have the gall to claim otherwise and bad-mouth NaNiWa for making the decision to forfeit and let the tournament move on to actual pro play.
GOM is giving everyone the biggest finger of all, making a format that forces distraught players who have lost to keep playing for nothing, and promotes mediocre play, unfair competition and even matchmaking in the case of a teammate or friend who has no chance to advance playing one that has.

You know... I have given Naniwa many chances to get back on my good side. But he just did something to me that's unacceptable. Don't get me wrong I agree that the match was pointless, but it wasn't pointless for the tournament organizers and spectators. The tournament is a tournament of champions, so it's really a tournament of show matches, and frankly I would have to say that the vast majority of people were looking forward to Nestea trying to get revenge against Nanaiwa. He should have shown respect to Nestea and GomTV to actually play the match because he was invited to play in the tournament to play the matches.
edit; Also, look at what MC said in his tweet in the other thread. I think that is the best thing that has been said so far.

Naniwa owns, sorry. He played an amazing game vs Leenock, didn't win but I've never seen such good ff+storms. Also created like a dozen threads full of drama. MMA can't do that. Nestea can't do that. Only Naniwa.

haha I didn't see the match but you can imagine the crowd: 'and this is the rematch everyone has been waiting for and.........................Naniwa throws it'

But they didn't and probably never will.

It doesn't seem like naniwa's character to throw games away, just recently he was saying how he would work so hard and give it his all, all the time. What happened to old naniwa?

yes because they're not drama queens and care about their public perception.

How does creating a shitstorm qualify as a talent? I think Naniwa would probably be a lot happier if posts about him were all "hard luck Naniwa", "you'll do better next time", "good luck in Code S Nani!" rather than "Naniwa doesn't count as a pro", "Nani just made an anti-fan", "Should GOM or StarTale take action against him?!"
Not saying whether what he did was good or bad, just that even he won't agree with you about being amazing BECAUSE the LR thread became a clusterfuck over what he did.

because both were out of the tournament the game didnt matter. why do they even have the game in the first place?
its kinda silly because both players have no reason to fight their hardest or show potential secret builds
he probably wasnt allowed to give walkover so he just did whatever ended the game the quickest
do you guys really wanna watch 2 guys play a casual game during GSL blizzard cup where neither of them cares about winning?
im not saying what naniwa did was right or wrong, or manner or bad manner. im just saying i think the system should allow for walkovers if they players request it if the game has no meaning If players should be able to just forfeit games that mean nothing then what exactly are they paied for? Not trying to be a smartass, it's a genuine question, I read that the players in Blizz cup got like $900 for the group stage, should they get all that money if they don't play the games to the best of their ability? If not what are they paied to do?
