Morrow could do the same and say: "Im not apart of it, even though I live in sweden already, TLO must not like me" OR - You just have a case of four friends who want to live together and train together because they have a really good chemistry.. Haven't you ever done something with a couple of your friends because you felt like doing it, even though you have 20 friends in total? Because you only chose to watch a movie or whatever with 2 out of your 20 friends, dosn't mean that you hate the other 18 and don't want anything to do with them.. | ||

It might as well just be that TLO and the three others do really well together and they found an appartment for 4 persons and they would like to live together..

Yeah I think the problem is that many of us start to think of progamers just as progamers, and not as much as people.

But after this and other interviews of him, I am more than ready to give him a second chance. (Oh, and by the way, I did hear the original interview in Swedish, but the translation is also pretty accurate. Though the first question is more like: "have you seen all the games", not "any".) Somebody wrote something about "Adults know that actions have consequences" and I think Naniwa has realized just this. I mean, from what I've read he has had a somewhat "troubled past" and my impression of the TLO/player house thing is that he can understand that it still affects his reputation, but also regrets past mistakes. Sure, calling out TLO might not have been the most tactful thing to do in an interview, but he also said that it was just what he had heard. Seems like he is lately trying to improve not only his playing skills, but also his behaviour and trying to be a better person. If he keeps doing that, then he is indeed worthy of respect. Personally, I hope and believe that he will. I might be wrong, but I hope not... | ||

But in the end, I wouldn't respect MC the way I do if it wasn't for that he had the skills to back up his claims and behavior. He's the best so it's okay for him to be honest about it. Eh, anyway..can't really force them to live together with the guy. Gotta be some other reasons than just bad PR though. the difference is: MC is actually a reeeeaaaally cool dude, if you have heard him drunk blabbering on i think jinros stream. or if you have seen his rap and dance from his bw days. he acts tough in public, but he is a stable person. and believe me, in such a competitive environment as a teamhouse, you dont want to have someone that might POSSIBLY cause problems. it can throw everyone off their game if they have to deal with stupid crap. i totally respect tlos decision, i would have done the same. P.S.: I thought the interview was really nice and i dont fault naniwa for stating, politely, that he doesnt know why he wasnt invited, but that he understands the decision. And regarding something that was also said in the thread: there is only room for so many "nice guys" and goofballs in a sport. TLO took that spot. other players will have to find their own niches to market themselves (look at idra, mc). Naniwa will find his place, but that he has to deal with his sometimes erratic personality is neither unfair nor stupid. esports is not only skill, but also marketability. its a mix between entertainment and competition and both parts have to be present in a player for him to make it big | ||
