Plz ESL never allow him to play again in one of your tournaments

Don't think they'll have to and they leave the forfeit option open so I don't think will. Still doubt we'll see Naniwa at an IEM again.

You cannot deny the Naniwa effect when it comes to drawing attention though... he plays one joke of a game in what is suppose to bo5 and then forfeits. And the match ends up having more comments then the Hyun vs Hero game.

That's exactly what they are there for. Entertaining the viewers is their job, playing games is just the way to entertain the players.



Nope it is not. They are there to compete. And the competition itself should be the entertaining thing. Yes every sport needs its personalities but they should not be priority number one.

I'm not gonna defend what Naniwa did, but its this disgusting attitude some people of our comunity can have sometimes that makes me sad. Chill the f out.

The good ones outshine the bad ones though, so I still feel compelled to stick around.

i agree that a lot of these people are being over the top. yelling and screaming profanity about him is unnecessary and meanspirited. but come on. yes, it is just a video game, but he's just creating negativity and disrespecting the time others spend on the event. he brought it on himself

Scandal of this week - Naniwa handling everything related to this in the worst possible way.

Scandal of next week - IEM or CMStorm (I'd say polt, but he's too good a guy) bribed Nani to do this as a way to generate hype for polt.

Not really, but jesus, I can't think of anything else that would have rallied the crowd behind polt so hard, internationally or at the venue. Lots of angry Swedes rallying around the scene's preeminent crybaby, but they'll get over it.

Again:

Obviously he couldn't just forfeit before the tournament.

EG has probably paid him a nice purse of money for him to give as much exposure as possible.

How is that surprising to anyone? They've paid IdrA for years to be as obnoxious as possible (under the guise of being 'an online persona'), obviously they won't waste the potential for that much drama.

That's the end for Naniwa. No tournament should let him play again after this.

To be honest, I don't mind the forfeit per se. But if he was going to forfeit, he could have done so in the past weeks and left the spot open for someone who actually wanted to play.

Can someone sum up the interview with polt? Twitch decided to "fuck you" and stop working TOTALLY. not like 30second buffering for 10second was enough.

I really liked what Polt said in the short interview after the "game". Wish him all the best and hope he wins the whole thing!
