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.


Naniwa neither entertained nor did he competed. He QQ-ed and forfeited, taking a spot for someone else who would at least try to win in the process.

The worst part of all is that we all wanted to have fun and see nice games, and all he gave us, the casters, the admins, Polt is a sour taste in our mouths.

But whatever, NOW IT IS TIME FOR HEROOOOOOOOOOOOOO

You cant force a player to play maybe he had a bad day, maybe he didnt sleep well and there was to many noice. All my respect for Naniwa you must be brave to forfeit in such an event.

forfeiting was fine IMO. it's very sad that his spot didn't go to another player, but i think it's clear that naniwa was in the booth trying to make it work and it just didn't work. you're right, if he felt it was time to go, forfeiting was the right thing to do

It really isn't fine, every other player hasn't had an issue so far. It's too much of a coincidence with his recent announcement. Just looks like he wanted an excuse.

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?


He didn't 'take a spot', he earned the spot, if someone else wanted the spot, perhaps they should of actually qualified for it?

Months and months ago.


Perhaps you don't understand how qualifying for this tournament works, perhaps you should go study up about it.

He qualified for it, it was his spot, that's all their is too it. Perhaps if HyuN wouldn't be dumb enough to play the same build all the time (and not scout), we would of had someone else here instead.

Months and months ago. If he had a shred of class he would have realized, "Hey I don't even like this game and I'm not even going to try at this tournament guess I shouldn't go".


Exactly. He didn't decide to make a half-assed attempt when he entered the booth. He came in Katowice without any will to actually compete and do his best. In fact, he is in that mindset for at least a month. It would be better if he canceled (like he often did in the past) so they could give the spot to someone who finished in 3rd-4th place yesterday (not sure if it was Hasuobs or someone else).

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.


I get where he's coming from, though. Nobody should blame the people who are disappointed or booing him here but you can tell a few people are actually happy that this happened because of the prime opportunity to shit on him one last time, and that did annoy me.

i'd rather spend some more time enjoying everybody hating on Naniwa, even his fans. finally almost everyone sees what this guy is really like. people that followed the EU war3 scene many years ago knew from the start.

His forfeit is hurting the competition which is the entertainment in your POV. Just saying Forfeit before the tourney would have been much better and nobody would have blamed him or gave him much shit.

holy subtle troll


This guy isn't actually a troll he's just a really bad poster with weird ideas. He likes to defend protoss against whiners which is good and then cry about terran in his next post.

Troll or not he has a point that you can agree with or not.
If I was Naniwa I would have done pretty much something similar (probably I would have been way smarter that this, but heh).
Probably that makes me a bad person, but I guess that my reason would be bashed by anyone here...

In any case, like Naniwa pointed out
ive given my life and soul to starcraft 3 years and then the second i dont like it at the moment i get so much flak, LOL this communtiy <3

Not really defending him, but sometimes this community feels too self entitled.
