no. polt did a standard scout with his command center SCV and saw the gate, then built a bunker. completely normal and standard. if there are replays of polt on daedalus in tvp, i bet he scouts the same way

he forfeited because of his own emotional issues most likely. whether naniwa really believes soundproofing was the issue? no one can know that

I don't know man

you have to say though that since he's peak when he won the WCS he's never looked like a top contender. In fact, I would call his games in GSL sloppy

he looked very good in defeat in ro16. even the koreans (san, stardust, jjakjji) called his play "godlike" in their little State of the game Korean version.

Hero leaving first one then another stalker alive with just 1 hit left to kill it. Didn't focus on that 5 stalker vs 5 stalker battle at all.

Naniwa tried a poor cheese, got scouted and GG'd quickly, also saying there was some "soundproofing issues". He then held up the series trying to get something resolved and then forfeited the series and more or less announced his retirement.

Did he forfeit in the middle of the series tho?

Remember when Demuslim and Major forfeited in Shoutcraft America? That was in the middle of the series as well and people didn't rage this much.

They had decent reasons, one was playing a LAN with a high ping and Demu was sick.

People were plenty pissed off with demuslim, reddit threads abound, and plenty of people pretty pissed off that he was complaining about an na scene before getting drunk as fuck the night before

Was it confirmed that he was trashed the night before? I remember there was a picture of him at a bar or something.


No he just went chill out, didn't drink. As he said himself.

Stephano vs BratOk will always be the pinnacle of unsportmanship in my heart, and that's why the proberush or this Nani bollock does not faze me.
At least these were out of annoyance or something like that, BratOk vs Stephano was purely vicious and opportunistic.
And people here were laughing

Fuck that

What are you talking about?

Iirc it was the first ASUS ROG tourney, due to a bad bracket organisation the two players knew that the winner was going to face Hyun while the loser was going to face an eeasier opponent, no downside by losing, so both tried they best to lose.
It was disgusting >_>
