I think you're blowing this out of proportion. People just state why they don't like Naniwa. And being BM is a pretty valid reason to not like a player. You're allowed to vocalize that. Just like people can say Alive has no personality or you know x player is bad, etc. I think that the fact that you are a big Naniwa fan is making you think it should be banworthy but it generally isn't, within certain boundaries.

Idra is BM and everyone seemed to love him for it? Not saying you did, and frankly I disliked him for it because his BM was more about ego and hubris and less about desire to win. And I can back that up with him ragequitting games without even trying to come back from a small defecit. Where as Naniwa will fight to the bitter end if he thinks there's any chance of him coming back to win. I for one think your perception of "Naniwa's BM" is just his eccentric personality shining through in his desire to win and everything else falling to the wayside. Where in today's matches did you see him being BM even in the slightest tho? Cause I was there and saw nothing of the sort.

Obviously I remember him saying some dumb comments about losing to Targa or some other EU zerg in EU Premier league one of the seasons ago. That was the last time I remember..... what did he do today to justify you bashing him in THIS thread that has to do with THIS tournament??


And you saying my huge amount of support for Naniwa makes me biased in this discussion is pretty ironic considering your huge amount of hate for him.

I think that it's ok to vocalize dislike to something what happened during the tournament, but it is NOT ok to keep expressing the disliking about things not related to the tournament for the sake of hurt feelings, because the player under question gets high in the tournament. I find this practice unhealthy to say the least. In case of Naniwa, it really gets ridiculous.

Naniwa is such a fascinating player, and personality. Sometimes I really can't stand him, the comments he makes can be down right terrible and disrespectful, although some of them are absolutely hilarious. (JYP touched me, PP...gumiho walking around like a retard, omg how'd i lose to tefel, worst player in the world). But on the other hand I always admired his competitiveness, drive and determination to succeed, which seems levels above most foreigners, and for that I don't mind seeing him do well.

who cares about us? apparently you do...

look, i don't want to start an argument or hostility with you, but why do you think it's your right to tell people what they can discuss? you don't like reading it, fine. i don't always like reading people talk about how they hate seeing koreans in every tournament, hate WCS format, or how much they love their favorite players, or when people start talking about dragonball Z. but this is a community of people with interests, ideas and opinions, people can choose to talk about what they want, and i respect that. if a mod comes in here and says "this thread is not for discussing X, Y or Z" then that changes things. but otherwise, you really have no place to say what we discuss

i was posting about how i don't like naniwa's personality because i saw other people discussing it and wanted to share my thoughts as well. it's not because i hate naniwa personally and want him to feel bad, it's because i wanted to socialize with other sc2 fans about an issue a lot of us have opinions about. there's no conspiracy to "whine" or bash anyone, but topics come up and they are discussed

sorry you feel so offended by it, but that's how communities work.

Dude Naniwa saw me before the games trying to get his attention but just kinda ignored me, I understood it tho completely. Kaelaris said even he doesn't try to talk to him before his games. Afterward he won and after he saw me in the front row jumping up and down going crazy he was super nice backstage shook my hand, took a picture, but most of all we had a brief conversation about his mindset during the games. It was an amazing experience, he's an eccentric guy.... he is also kindof shy and doesn't get off on the attention and just loves the game and loves to win. He doesn't like distractions either. (These are just my assumptions based on what I saw and what I've heard about him.... I don't know him that well)



(I'm way more excited and elated here than my face might show here.... okay... fine... I was trying to look cool with my hero next to me)

Great guy. I love the guy, not him personally cause I don't know him personally, but I love his play and I love the person I met today. He's a nice dude and I appreciate him greatly. Thanks so much for all your hard work and your passion for the game Naniwa, you reflect the same passion fans like myself have for it as well.


OH AND BTW he then went on to take pictures with EVERYONE I saw standing there swarming him for a picture.... I can't say if he got to every single person out of the upwards of 30+ people if that's what someones complaints are idk.? All I can speak on is what I saw. And what I saw was a mildly shy, keeps to himself sort of guy who likes to focus before games and doesn't really enjoy crowds or too much attention afterwards. If you can't deal with that and get over it then don't cheer for him, who needs you? Naniwa sure as hell won't mind, cheering for him or against him makes no difference to him he just wants to win.
