So you mean that tournaments have no blame in not managing to make a lag free environment. Lets not cut the grass for the football players next so they cant play their game and see what happends, this might be a smaller scale than big football tournaments but its still the same principle.



It's more like quitting the football game because it started raining. You can't control bnet .20.

So fun to read people hating Naniwa when it's IEM's fault. They cannot provide fair play conditions and force him to play under lag. No wonder he is pissed. This is what they have said in State of the game many times. Filter out the bad tournaments.

Hahahahaha, oh wow... well, at least, he didn't threaten to beat an admin as he did when he played WC3. Naniwa will never change and will never learn. He may be a gamer, but he will never be a pro.

give it a few minutes, then there will be another "HUGE NANI SCANDAL" thread with 100 pages on here... I can't understand Nani's decision this time, but even so, don't make such a huge deal about it, please

If I was in Naniwa's position (a possible favorite to win 6k in an international SC2 tournament) there is no chance in hell I would quit just because the first match was ruined by lag.

Doesn't he realize how many noob gamers would give everything in order to be in his position? He is shitting right on their heads right now. Disgusting!


Thats because you care more about the money than being the best, thats not the case with Naniwa as he has stated several times.

I really liked Cologne.

And I really liked IEM Hannover, the one where Moon placed second and the one with the awesome tiebreaker between Socke, Squirtle and Sjow.

The crowd for the finals was sooooo awesome


Oh, yeah, right, that was last year, too. :D

Totally forgot it, but it sure was a good and exciting tournament.

I find it funny how people bash a player for not putting up with major technical difficulties.
I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds.

Naniwa does his best to steal the "suicide toss" nickname from MC by bringing it to a whole next level.

Never seen someone who trains so hard to win to autodestruct right after.
Is there a tournament he hasn't dissed somehow?

So what should Naniwa do? continue to play in unplayable conditions? At least he has the balls to stand up for himself

Pathetic from Naniwa...

Everyone will have the same issues as him and yet he still tries to look like the victim. the money Quantic wasted on him flying to Kiev to do this... pathetic

So i just got here. Did they force players to play with lag? If they did, i agree with naniwa. Or did they let them pause and wait? If so, then bad naniwa.


They paused multiple times throughout the series, didn't help.
