What kinda annoys me is that whenever Nani loses, he creates some sort of drama that everyone talks about. It looks like a good method to distract from not too great play.

If this is in Germany, they got some sick brothels over there, and they dont care about some "I love esports". Give the social guy some slack, Im sure he is a hell of a guy. If its something that scares the living shit out of not only girls, its the handshake denial..

This is making way to much sense here.

I do my best


You still haven't apologised for making me spell like a caveman before.

Anyways, I think there should be manner rules similar to what Kespa had/has and just about every major spectator sport. Esports has enough prejuduce regarding immature juveniles to deal with as it is, we don't need any more.

ROFL

yeah sportmanship is a douchy thing now!

naniwa is a douche so you're a douche if you don't expect him to be a douche!

the circle is complete, now bitter naniwa fanboys can go round and round and never encounter the real world.


Yes. NarutO is totally the bitter one here and you aptly made your point about how he calls everyone a douche.

You obviously are way more in touch with the real world, it's easy to see because unlike NarutO you don't get all up in arms over a forum post...

Seriously, he was just calmly stating his opinion.


Calm down guys. All naruto did, was to give an insight why it might have not been the best thing to go over as the winner and offer a handshake. He is right. It can be misinterpreted a lot, just like we are doing here. If we were able to hear what those guys actually said during the handshake, it might clear things up. The bottom line though is, in front of a camera you are expected to shake hands, no matter who goes over first, otherwise people will start a discussion.

All i want to add is, Naniwa just shake his hand and get over it. No matter if its bm or not from him, suck it up and spare yourself the stupid discussions.

but when offered a handshake you take it.
If you're insincere about it, just give him a limp floppy one instead of a firm solid one.


Yep. It is one of those things that you just have to force yourself to do even if you not really want it.

From morrows twitter

Seemed like Vortix just wanted to gloat to naniwa perhaps.


Yeah, because Vortix knows Swedish 'customs'. Vortix was simply trying to be polite/respectable and Naniwa just went full asshat.


Give me a break, knowing the history between the two players? Do you really believe that?

Does the history matter? Shaking hands is being polite ... no matter what.

At least over here in the states, when we're playing sports we act like men, and win or lose--we shake hands with our opponent..


I didn't say it was mannered, all I said that I think it was just as bad mannered by VortiX especially because you know Naniwa. If you want to show some respect, respect that he's not calm/happy after the loss. Cannot be that hard to understand is nothing but player bashing

So you're saying Vortix is bm because he should understand that Naniwa is too childish to shake his opponents hand. That's dumb.


yes, it's dumb. i think it was good job from vortix calling nani on his bullshit before game, in game and after game.
conspired against by a confederacy of dunces.

Nani actually uses a lot of his own builds, but he relies on hiding them for ages for them to do the business, i.e his build he unveiled at Dreamhack

It's still better if the loser is the one extended the handshake. If you do it as a winner it can be seen as an offensive GG if that makes any sense. I mean imagine you just lost and are really pissed and want to cool off for a moment and your opponent runs over to you with a big grin does that seem friendly ? For me it wouldn't seem like that.


Sorry, but being that upset after a loss is pretty unprofessional in my opinion. I'm not saying your wrong, it's probably just a cultural thing.


That has nothing to do with culture . You watch any sports this is very common in US Sports as well. You don't need to be be superfriendly to the person you just lost to if you don't want to. As long as you don't act like an idiot afterwards cooling down for a while is fine.

Reported - read my post


and reported for what?

laughing at your totally laughable implication that him refusing to shake a hand was just as bad as going there to shake a hand after a game?

hahahaha you guys are priceless.


For ignorance, stupidity and aggressive tone. See MorroW's tweet. I don't know where you are from, but in EVERY sports, loser do approach / initiate the handshake. A winner doing it, is bad sportsmanship JUST AS MUCH as denying it. I bet you won't last very long with <250 posts already acting like the biggest douche ever.

Actually, that's wrong, in the US from HS - college both teams/players shake hands no matter what.



Not only that, in EVERY SINGLE GSL match the winner goes to shake the loser's hand in his booth.

It's standard SC2 good-manner for the winner of the match to offer a handshake. Never been required, but it's a sign of respect to your opponent. You don't have to think NaNiwa's a piece of crap for refusing to shake hands, but saying Vortix was BM is pretty silly.

That's not true at all. In tennis, basketball, fencing, debating, etc. I've always had both sides approach each other. We have several examples from the SC2 scene like Mvp going to console MKP. Just think about MLG games, the winner often went to the loser's booth to thank him for the games. It's supposed to be mutual. It's nothing like an offensive gg as the game is already finalized.


Yep, 100% agree.

So I can think of so many times when the winner approaches the losing player in all kinds of sports and especially often in our Sc2 eSports.

Then again, maybe grubby is a terribly bad mannered guy who had just vile intentions when he went to shake Nerchio's hand at ... some Dreamhack or so I think (there was this GIF thread on reddit).

And in MLG that happens all the time and never ever did anyone consider it insulting. Just now to defend Naniwa...

initiating a handshake is NOTHING like an offensive GG.

Offensive GG = i win, you lost, get out, you are just wasting our time now.

Initiating a handshake = thanks for the games and I respect your play.


They arent comparable at all.

Refusing a handshake, no matter who initiated just makes you seem like a tantrum throwing child. Which is what he has proven to be

And we have seen pro players give other pro player space. I cannot remember who the opponent was, but someone wanted to shake hands with HerO but saw he was devastated by the loss, I think crying. So he left the booth again. You know Naniwa is rage / on tilt after that. Just give him his space. If he wants to shake hands, he'll do, otherwise just move on?
