Annoying that he wants a game where he can actually do something without the audience revealing his strat?

Wow really...

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.


Didn't see much competitive spirit from Naniwa either.

What do you expect? A pat on the back after he shits on the game, takes a spot at one of the biggest tournaments of the year with apparently no intention of even trying, and then forfeiting while taking up main stage time?

Honeslty, better see a forfeit than 2 more useless games.

EXACTLY. If Naniwa isn't putting his heart into it, then there's no point in playing. I don't know why everyone is so angry. This is to be expected, considering he already has plans for retiring.

He's giving up a chance at 100000$, how is that anything but stupid?

He has no chance, why even try?


He didn't lose yet. That makes him have a chance.

I can't help but feel a pretty sour taste after this forfeit, definitely made me sad to see it go this way.
I hope this doesn't end up creating more drama then it should.
I hope he doesn't retire, aswell :3

I've defended this kid for two years, ever since I was a quantic fan. Sase and Naniwa was my favorite bromance of all time.

I have no patience for anything of this kind though. Fuck Naniwa and his childish attitude, I've had enough and it's clear the rest of this community has too.

he is part of an entertainment industry and he owes his success to the fans. if not the fans, at LEAST the sponsors and tournament organizers, whom he also disrespected here by bringing down the class of the event

that was disgusting , i hope [A] ban him for his lack of sportmanship , you know there is a crowd (big one at that) , and you go for a risky opening like that , then you fail and blame everyone else , lame and sad , he should learn from the [A] Dota team , which said that in lan its very risky and thats why they go less for level1 rosh , the crowd can give it away in so many ways .. you shouldnt even try it.... not that im implying that polt DID know because of the yells... but whatever , in both cases i blame nani for this

Losing passion and considering retirement because of Swarmhosts is one thing. I get that.

This? Nothing. I don't have a shed of compassion for a dick move like that. He fucked over his fans, the tournament, the next player waiting in line who could have taken his spot and probably even himself considering he's going to regret this. Too bad.

I wouldn't care if he had forfeited form the start and gave his spot to Hasu too, but this really leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

What if, by any chance, they are yelling into each other's ears all game?


What is hilarious about the tweet from Kennegit is that, even if the casters are ignoring the no practice and retire thing, IEM for sure knew. And after their long rant on the 100k winner takes all deal trying to get more eyeballs, more viewers, more interest in their show basically trying to do ANYTHING to get more eyes on it then it's so obvious they kept Naniwa cause they know that SOMETHING would happen.
They should have given the spot to open bracket, but hey, that's not hype is it?

Name a sport in which the fans wouldn't crucify a player for whining like a bitch on Twitter and ragequitting the first match of the most important tournament of the year so far five minutes in.
