He also seemed quite humble, especially towards the end. | ||

HOWEVER, I see two problems with naniwa preventing him from being recognized as a player.....like how Idra, Jinro and White-ra are being recognized. First of all, from what i read, he has a pretty bad record. I'm not saying that means he's still a terrible person, I mean, he was what? 16? Being kicked out of your house and school, making a living playing computer games? Ouch. It's fair to say that he was still a kid, and everything he did CAN be forgived........if you can clean up his image and prove to everyone that he has changed. I mean, look at him and Idra. They are both well-known for BM, but the reception of these two players are completely different. Idra BMs, but everyone knows, besides that he's very professional and serious about the game. But Naniwa's problem is on a different level, being late for matches and just completely misses them shows everyone u don't care. That's different from just trash talks. But yeah, I still hope he can put his shit together, he should if he wants to realize his full potential as an awesome player. On the other hand......from his interviews here and in MLG, I just felt this troubled young man who lacks some social skills. You can see his excitement and passion about the game, look at the moment when he beated kiwi in MLG final game......that's not an "it's ok" reaction, that's a "FUCK YEAH" reaction. It's just that he doesn't really know how to express them with words. Poor Nani  | ||

I'm really sad for him not having a chance to join this european progaming house,because skillwise he definetely deserved it. Also if some of you talk about professionalism, the manager of this european house (afaik TLO?) has to consider Nani, because like I said skillwise he is a MUST. I can't follow the PR-argumentation aswell, because like someone said "any PR is good PR". Also I think no one will like the european progaming house less, because of Nani who has a bm past. Personally I would love to see Nani having a chance to live there and prove that he isn't that bm anymore. Btw I also think some european players are rly bm towards him nowadays. Can't remember who he faced but in one BDL match his opponent provoked him so bad and Nani just blocked him instead of trashtalking back. Best wishes to Nani!! | ||

I can only try to imagine how hard it is to get kicked out of home and school and when gaming is the "only thing" left you take your bad mood into the game.

Adults know that actions have consequences. If Nani has changed he will understand that he is now suffering the consequences of his own actions. Just because he's been acting more nice lately and won MLG Dallas doesn't mean his past is erased. That will happen gradually over time. | ||

Naniwa was in another teamhouse a couple of months ago with Cloud and maybe s1 else, and menaged to get himself kicked form the league he competed in and went to that house to be able to do so. He left then simply, and if i remember CLoud's words correctly he didnt even say anything, or clean up the mess after himself. Would you want him in ur house after incidents like that, cuz he won an MLG, and havent called anyone a waste of oxygen in a major league in the past month? | ||

I'm not saying they should be obligated to invite him, but come on, at least try to give people a second chance. | ||

He answered what impression he had about the situation, I don't see what's wrong with that. And I do remember Cloud talking about Nani leaving and what you wrote is true, but you left out the part where Cloud spoke well of Naniwa. I'm not saying they should be obligated to invite him, but come on, at least try to give people a second chance. Huh, i wonder how i missed that then, i stand corrected Though my other 2 points stand imo, by healthy attitude i mean professionalism. Saying TLO does not like him created drama, antagonizes him, in my opinion. He got asked an unconfortable question, the kind that you ought to dodge a bit | ||

It'd be nice to hear if TLO has anything to say about it though, cuz this is just speculations and it's awfully one sided. Either way they invited Maven to the house, who on air appearantly hadn't heard that there was a tournament called MLG, and thought WhiteRa had only played MC once.. it's the kind of stuff that's been a head liner on TL.. For anyone even slightly interested in the starcraft community it's almost impossible to miss. Imo it'd be better for PR to invite Naniwa instead. It might be something personal though, so what do I know. | ||

Naniwa also made some comments after being banned from ESL, that TLO got special treatment and dident get penelty points when he missed a deadline, and that he got to play more games then everybody else in the qualifier. That might be one of the reasons TLO doesnt like him... I dunno. | ||

Anyway, I hope Naniwa will keep on playing and keep on winning and go to korea. | ||
