Liquipedia was simply updated with the information at hand. At first it seemed Nani indeed withdrew, so Liquipedia was updated accordingly. When new information became available, Liquipedia was updated. I guess it's not 100% clear what's going on but I think we should just believe the latest info at all times. So for now, he's back in

funny thing: dont see any lag in the next game and because naniwa comes crawling back proves his first reaction (ragequit from the tournament) was total bs

One crossed wire, one wayward pinch of potassium chlorate, one errant twitch...and kablooie!

Update:

Liquipedia says:

* NaNiwa was reported to have forfeited after his first game, due to technical issues[7], but was later announced to still being in the tournament.[8]

WTF, someone is trolling us lol

An older pro really ought to sit down with Naniwa and explain to him that the SC2 scene isn't that big. Upset too many tournaments and you'll damage your own career, regardless of skill. Groups for today look good

Just watched white-ra destroy Strelok, that was crazy :D

Wrong. Pro should not be silent if playing conditions are not optimal.

Sure they should. It's called be professional and providing the entertainment that the fans want and sponsors expect.

To what degree? What if a tournament forced them to play one race, without a chair, on the KR server on Steppes of War while lagging.
The pros shouldn't say anything because they're doing what the fans and sponsors want right?
Fuck no, SC2 is about the players more than anyone else.


Wrong. So wrong. Sc2 is about the fans. Like every other entertainment industry whether it be NBA, UFC, to Sony Entertainment.

This situation is so odd. Did they report him quitting when he in fact didn't?

How is it odd?

He probably raged and wanted to quit, then he calmed down and asked if he can continue/was convinced by someone to continue.

He must have quit, got talked to by someone from either Quantic or IEM, and changed his mind.

Fuck no, SC2 is about the players more than anyone else.

Lag is not the end of the world. It's more like playing football in the rain.

And it's not about the players more than anyone else. It's a symbiotic relationship between players, fans, casters and sponsors. Without all of them none of this is possible.

Without players, there is no scene
Without sponsors, there is still a scene, it's not funded
Without casters, there is still a scene, it's not casted
Without fans, there is still a scene, it's not popular

Without the players, you can have nothing else.

You french are the same when stephano loses so don't laugh at others.

how can you even compare Stephano and Naniwa's professionalism, I don't think Stephano ever misbehaved or annoyed the hell out of the admins of a tournament.

if so that´s another blunder of IEM... I usually like those big events but if they screw up they need to feel the heat (just like MLG did when they fucked up - next time everything worked out pretty well after all the shit they reveived)
in the age of "Person, Woman, Man, Camera, TV" leadership.

you are pretty much bashing every single NA players because I got the 1st seed from NA/SA qualfier.


Don't mind the Swedish Naniwa fanboys, it's not their fault that their national hero is an immature manboy.
