EPTThis is just another line on a long rap sheet for this kid.
Here is hoping Major can learn from this to become a more mature.

I made a comment about a friend wanting to play sc2 competitively and asked a progamer if he could live off 600 bucks a month and he said barely. Shrugz and I guess I was sorta correct since technically he's between jobs  That's gotta suck so much. You're at the top 1% of your field and still make less than social welfare pays every unemployed person? Jesus... | ||

When Major/Terran/Princess strikes that optimal balance of professionalism and skill he is going to be the next big thing imo. Looking at this situation with SJ and Major with the limited information we have available there are only a few conclusions which can be drawn. Either Major has recently commited some terrible act which would force SJ to terminate and we are not fully informed about it. Or, Major is aware that he is too large a talent to be benched by a team not having the resources to send him to domestic tournaments never mind Korea. Honestly if a team cant even send one representative to a large tournament like MLG then they are not a legitimate professional team unless there are some extenuating circumstances. the big difference is that greg is a smart guy with a temper. juan is a dumb obnoxious kid. juan has been around the scene for years, if he hasn't grown up yet then i think it's safe to say that he's never going to grow up. | ||

You don't see FXO sending a lot of players to MLG (just qxc and moonan at Raleigh), EG didn't send Axslav/Strifecro for whatever reason, while only the top Dignitas players get the opportunity to represent. Really, MLG makes 0 economic sense unless you have a pool play spot (or can get there). FXO has to fly their players from Asia which a lot pricier than from America. Strifecro was at the Kingston booth at PAX that weekend but idk where Axslav was. I don't think Dignitas usually sends many players either. Major, DDE, and Vibe have all done well enough in the past MLGs that group play/championship bracket is very possible, which would give some ROI, and they all live in the Americas, so it is relatively cheap to get there. I'm not a Major supporter, especially after the SEA thing, but something seems to be up with Sixjax as well. | ||

He's only just turned 18 ffs. Most people are still immature at that age. You should have seen players like iNcontroL and Artosis at around that age. Fuck Day9 wrote about himself masturbating everywhere. People make mistakes when they're young. It's part of growing up. | ||

if sjg can't even send their players to a local lan, and don't even communicate to their players about it, than whats the point of him staying. | ||

Not to mention has horrible grammar.. didn't even take the time to make an official statement, not realizing that the whole community would be reading it.

Some times ago, Naniwa was just another "little kid with some talents" and everyone was bashing him and tell that no team will ever pick him up. Now he is one of the Foreigner only hope against Korean  One or two good results are the only thing that prevent him to go from the "little prick who is hurting esport" to the "I always say that Major had the potential to win !" Hope he make it to the Korea, and GL major Theres a difference. Naniwa was a kid who matured with age. Princess is... I dont think it even needs to be said. Just read up on what hes done, and keeps doing. On September 05 2011 00:07 TheHova wrote: Yeah, it's almost as if he's speaking a second language...

It's crazy how people demand the whole world to master english when they barely know other languages even exist (particularly US folk). He could have made a little more effort in punctuation and capitals at least., but the point still stands. | ||

I hope he does well in the GSL and proves people wrong. Since he doesn't know what he did wrong, sixjax should probably give a list in public. | ||

Just because you can manage to speak it fine, doesn't mean everyone can. People do have different learning capacities you know? It would be very ignorant to think otherwise. As for your other statement, doesn't even make sense, Naniwa has had 3more years to mature. He's 21 not 18. Big difference. | ||
