For all the championing complexity did of Naniwa ( especially when undeserved hate was thrown his way) while he was briefly on the team I respected them because it couldn't have been easy. Complexity stood by him however and he performed better for them than most teams could dream of and against opponents that meant something. This though, this thinly veiled "oh we're so fucking glad to be rid of him" I do not respect. If complexity is indeed sending players to Korea and Naniwa misrepresented that then you find a classy way to contradict him and you don't add on a comment about how you were definitely looking to get rid of him to whomever you could regardless of how he feels about it. I'm failing to see any excellence, professionalism, dedication or loyalty in how you are choosing to handle this situation. From this point on I don't see myself supporting complexity, some of the players who wear the colmvp jersey yes but the company and team itself have lost my interest, my money and my support. You are professionals, you know how to PR better than this and you should really be being the bigger person here. * * paraphrased from reddit post I made in response over there* | ||

When a player does a Kamehameha, or does a funny throat slash then proceeds to high-five the crowd when winning, or does a murloc dance, it's just a silly ceremony for the fans. It's for the fan's enjoyment. When a player openly bashes someone, flips the middle finger at someone, etc, that's just to cause anger, basically BM. It's extremely different situations, in extremely different contexts. The latter just shows how little most foreigner players know of showmanship in comparison to their korean counterparts, probably because the korean scene as a whole is so experienced at being public, again in comparison to the foreigners. NO. Kamehameha at someones booth, isn't that just as bad as doing thumbs down? MC pounded on DRGs booth in the GSTL. IdrA already said he was playing along with MC when he flipped his finger. If you take the finger flipping so seriously then perhaps you should do the same with the throat slash. Lemme act like you for a sec here... OMG MC DID THROAT SLASH TO IDRA? HE WANTS TO KILL HIM IRL WTF. Given how socially awkward Naniwa is you can't expect his "ceremony" to look super natural as all the koreans do in their ceremonies. First everybody thinks Naniwa is boring and bland. He does something funny, gets flamed! That's the SC2 community for you... look at what Losira does at the start. That's basically what Naniwa did to Nestea... | ||

Something that Col., objectively, could not do? Yall just can't even consider a non epeen drama filled scenario can you ? >_> Erm, how could coL objectively not do that? They have a partnership with MVP which would offer some of the best possible practice partners. I wouldn't agree at all with your "objective" assessment. | ||

I think the most funny thing about this "OMG Naniwa BM'd Nestea!!!!! is that during the Korea vs World event, White-ra thumbs-down MC. And NOONE said anything about that. | ||

HE also was the one to tell Nestea false information!! And like we all know there is no bigger Nestea fanboy than Artosis. | ||

Teams do this all the time, it's the easiest way to let loose a player without delving too deep or making an issue of it. "He doesn't share our core values" , "His goals no longer line up with our own" etc. | ||

I don't think either thumbs down or kamehameha is bad, which is why I SPECIFICALLY STATED I'M NOT REFERRING TO THE NANI INCIDENT, please learn how to read. -I think MC's throat slash is totally fine, it was to rouse the audience, nothing more, please don't put words in my mouth (or rather, my posts), meanwhile, I think Idra's flipoffs, particularly the Huk one, are just bad. -I think MC booth pounding was pretty bad and overly BM, not his usual, funny ceremony. Fuck I'm having real trouble quoting lol | ||

I forgot to mention, what is the count now at with Nani's team switching in comparison to Major? I bet he is closing the gap between them.  | ||

I wouldn't agree at all with your "objective" assessment. He said he was lonely.... trimaster would fulfill half of the equation by speaking english (although I'm pretty sure they aren't close the way nani and sase are) But Trimaster is objectively not on the level of naniwa I didn't mean Korean practice partners (players practice with guys on other teams all the time that's not the issue)I meant other high level players who you can also communicate and connect with, and objectively Col. Doesn't have those kind of players. Naniwa is a Code S level Protoss, no one on Col. is close. Sase on the other hand is. | ||
