You're so easily manipulated.


If you were in a commercial for headphones I wouldn't buy them

You should just spend a ludicrous amount of money (except not really if you use headphones a lot), and get a set of hd800s.

That way you'll have fantastic headphones, as well as a piece of equipment from a sci-fi

There is no way Polt doesn't know. If he pulled some shit against Naniwa it would be so great to see. He's gonna get embarrased here.

yeah, naniwa has the right to come out and say he doesn't care anymore, but in doing that he's kind of asking for polt to go cloaked banshee or proxy marauder or thor drops or something lol

The timing of the announcement is my issue.

He basically stated this because if he loses he has the excuse that he hasn't been practicing and if he wins then everyone will praise him for being so naturally talented.

Just seems to be a very cowardly way out.

I don't think it has anything to do with passion or big picture, just Naniwa being a scaredy cat

Oh for sure, the truth is always worth buying

If Nani really hasn't been practicing I think Polt will do all sorts of troll stuff to get revenge/continue the rivalry thing from MLG

It's a gigantic dick move to stay in a tournament which is winner takes all so there is absolutely no way you can win, instead of retiring officially.

Three one base blink all ins or something in a row is pathetic for a tournament this hype



If he does that then yea... thats stupid.. but its Naniwa... that is his persona and if your surprised at this then you must be really, REALLY new.

I personally dont think he is going to punk out but we will not be seeing him at his best...

for even a 0.00001% chance of winning a hundred grand i would do it every single time. respecting the community is fine and whatever but you don't get a lot of chances at that kind of money in this world. blame the format for letting people qualify so far in advance

SCV rush, it would be fitting at least.

if [event 1: [Naniwa] happens], set [category 1 (Naniwa haters) to : I DON'T LIKE IT], set [category 2 (Naniwa fanboys) to : I LIKE IT], then [repeat over and over], else do nothing.

I know what you are referring to but I just don't know why it is relevant/what "crap they later pulled off lol" means.

again, is it not accurate to say that he made the "announcement" as a reply to a fan in his fan club thread who was actively rumor mongering? it's not like he emailed a press release to ESL...

Just imagine the hilariousness if he actually HAS done a massive amount of practice and goes 3-0, would be the best mind-games since... well, since HotBid's last interview. BUT STILL!
