Of course it matters, they will be living together... Naniwa is tough to get along with and no matter how good he is at sc2, he's probably not a guy you'd want share a space with. At least that's the impression I get.
You know him personally? and you know that he is tough to get along with? Hes had a rough past thats no reason to pass judgement on someone you dont even know personally. Honestly if it were me running a team house i would for sure give him a shot, skill>past behaviour up to a certain point and i dont think he has come anywhere near crossing that line.

Being a progamer relies on sponsors. Sure you can win competitions and earn money that way but who pays for all the flights and hotels? And if you don't win?
Of course manners matter and if you want to be an internaitonal gamer, you should shape up. After all, why do you think TLO is getting major sponsorships even though he has yet to win anything major recently? (No offense)
If you screwed up in the past, then you got to live with it. Be nice to TLO and its up to TLO to forgive and forget. Its not up to you to cry wolf and say how TLO doesn't like you to the press.
I liked Naniwa even though I know he used to BM and 4gate. I still like him, but I think calling TLO out for not liking you cuz YOU BM is a dick move.

Who did he accuse and of what?
All he said was that he had heard that TLO didn't like him and that he can understand that. How is that accusing him of anything? At least it isn't to me.

He does indeed seem to lack tact.

Aww, I would live in a pro gaming house with you, Naniwa. You wouldn't improve very much though.

TLO doesn't to be living with a potentially volatile personality. it doesn't matter what type of talent Naniwa has. when you are living with someone, you want to have at least tolerable personalities within the group and Naniwa is considered too much of a risk.

I don't know him personally but TLO does and it seems like he doesn't want him in the house. So I guess there's some reasoning behind that.

well not sure being in a team house with naniwa will help that much =p
sjow apparently went 0-10 against naniwa when he was warming up for his 1st round dh match against huk
and that - dh spoiler -
+ Show Spoiler +probably put sjow on tilt and he lost 1st game very very quickly due to some uncharacteristic blunder.

You also read a transcribed verion...

Maybe it's just me but I feel like if you're a serious progamer who cares about improving as much as possible, then you can't not want Naniwa training with you in your house. He might be bm, but he's the most skilled player that the Sweden house could possibly have, so I don't think his personality should matter that much. It's like even if you dislike IdrA or Naniwa's personality, how could you not jump at the possibility of training with them all day since they're so good?
But yeah, I can definitely see why it would suck to have someone living with you whose personality clashes with yours, but I still don't think it should matter that much if your whole livelihood pretty much depends on your sc2 skill level.

Glad to see that he has great teammates who are standing up for him. I mean, they are 3 teammates from Sweden and they cut the best one out before even giving him a chance. That would be like if you are a group of friends and one of the guys in the group doesn't like something with another guy in the group, so the whole group cut one of the guys off. How nice is that?
-_-

Seems like a few people need to lay off Nani. I really don't care about how he was BM 5 years ago playing a game I didn't follow (and I'm sure most people who call him out didn't even watch WC3.) The dude was like 15.. I'm sure you guys were snotty little 15 year olds too back then, but you guys aren't
"e-famous" so you got away with it.
I can't believe there ins't more interest in a player who has shown more raw talent in the past couple months than more of the players we see in every tournament. Nani Fighting!!

I consider him the best Swede ATM. GL bro.

Naniwa have had a pretty dark past. But in the last couple of months he's actually gotten himself together. Would be weird if TLO haven't noticed this. I think there's also something else.
'Pretty dark past' makes it seem like Naniwa's a reformed mass murderer or something...
|
Even though I love Naniwa's gameplay and don't mind his personality, his PR skills really indeed are terrible.
My fav was the short interview with him at MLG

Everyone can knock on Naniwa all they want, but I'll give credit where it's due. He had a bad reputation in the past and has definitely cleaned up. Sure he's not a perfect role model and does in fact lack some tact when it comes to interviews, but he definitely seems to be improving his public image as well as his tournament performances. Here's to hoping he keeps this trend up.
|
Naniwa probably was going thru puberty n teeny mood swings, but seems to have pulled it together and is on path to becoming a Maniwa
Good luck

He doesn't act very clever in interviews, but one thing is overlooked so far:
He wants to compete in Korea!
