How are people seriously blaming Naniwa? IEM has let him, and the fans down. If its not up to standard, why should he sabotage his play due to their failure?

Because nobody can control Bnet 0.2. It's not IEM's fault that Blizzard won't implement LAN and it is Nani's fault that he won't be proffesional enough to play for his fans despite his 'new leaf' he promised after he quit in AoL, just like he did now.

Because they did not have balls to do it?

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

Making a thread will be easy and of course people are going to reply. It's sad.

Yeah, I know, but I think it's pretty straightforward this time around. IEM screwed up badly with their internet, and all players got affected. Nani, being as emotional as he is, took it hardest personally and decided to make an example by refusing to play under conditions inapropriate for his profession. I can respect and understand this gesture, even though I think it's quite clearly an overreaction.

That is all, now can we skip making a massive thread about it? :/

Sorry, but inviting a "star" like Naniwa means nothing. He is doing your tournament a favor. Imagine if MMA just left because the conditions were bad, would you blame him?


the problem is guys like MMA knows what respect is, for a tournament, fans, viewers etc, you're example is sad.


Naniwa is a contender not an entertainer. Be happy that almost everyone will continue to play even under horrible conditions but don't blame Naniwa.

Okay, well if they are being made to play with obvious lag, fair enough that he doesn't want to play.

I lost all the respect i had for that guy... what a whiny kid.


Yeah, how dare he request proper conditions to play his profession? Bring the torches!


Are you kidding me ?
Quantic payed his ticket to Kiev and IEM invited him, then he withdraw from a tournament because of " technical problems " ( which can be solved anyways... )

He is just an immature kid. Probably he left because he is pissed that he lost against Strelok.


He is mad cause he lost to Strelok in a matchup he shouldn't lose and now he would have to play with a handicap for the rest of the tournament. And probably White Ra and Strelok would qualify anyway even if he plays from 0-1.
Mess with the best, die like the rest.

You have very valid points there, good Sir! I would like to add that by coming to the tournament Naniwa basically denied someone else's chance to get in. I bet that someone is really happy to see Naniwa waste the whole thing like that. :p

Naniwa has some serious growing up to do.

It's called being a Professional. He's paid to play the game, not take his ball(Keyboard) and go home because things aren't going his way. He shouldn't be rewarded for child-like behavior.

So does Strelok get 2-0 now that White-Ra and TITAN also do?

Personally I think that SHOULD be what happens in these situations, but I have never seen a tournament actually do this when a team/player stopped participating in the middle of a group stage.

Even though conditions are the same for both sides. Why should Nani play ?

That's because it's dangerous and greatly increases injury risk?

Not the best comparison :p


Yeah and one missplaced Forcefield on your Ramp due to lag breaks your neck in Sc2.
So it works for me

WTF naniwa??
you could at least have forfeited before losing to strelok or after advancing from group play, now you are unrightfully taking the win from strelok.

To be honest other players should leave the tournament, too, since the conditions are unacceptable. The Nani foamers will never get why but at least they bring a sort of entertainment to the threads.
"Just stay and play for the fans" When people wants their 'idol' to play in horrible conditions , they are not a real fan, they are selfish and care little about the player they pretend to be a fan of tbh.

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.

this^


It's more like playing football with one leg because you had a limb cut off.
