why has noone seen this coming? i would have thought everyone has seen it coming, after the fact of nani bm'ing so hard at MLG and putting coL in a very awkward position

Hahaha, who/what did he BM? :D


I don't know. Major League Gaming, probably the best SC2 tournament in the world, or at least outside Korea. Nestea, one of the most respected players in Korea and the world?


I may have missed if he flamed MLG tournament, but he certainly didnt flame or BM nestea. Its just you people who want a reason to hate him. He said several times after the interview about winning MLG invitational, that he did not disrespect any of the other players etc etc.


You have no idea what you're talking about. Did you watch MLG Providence? Obviously not or you would know that he did, indeed, BM NesTea and the tournament itself. Please stop posting for a bit.

I find it funny that people choose to rabidly, zealously defend Nani and cast a bunch of down on JLake's statements, even when given Nani's history. People see what they want to see I suppose.


What a bullshit post...

It's okay when MC does his bullshit ceremonies, or when MMA does a kamehameha at IdrA?

It seems that YOU have no idea what YOU'RE talking about. Nestea told Naniwa BEFORE the game PERSONALLY that he would CRUSH him. It was all friendly shit Naniwa did to him and he even stated after that he respected him alot, Nestea mentioned Naniwa in a interview afterwards.

I find it funny that people choose to rabidly, zealously flame Nani and cast a bunch of down on his behaviour, even when he's getting better in terms of personality. People see what they want to see I suppose.

Please stop posting for a bit.

Sigh... I'm not gonna refer to Nani's incident in particular, but I always like to address this issue.

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...

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.


White-ra is too mannered to do a thumbs-down. Instead he did an upside-down thumbs-up.


WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH LOOOOOOOOOOOL. I laughed so hard because its so true.

Wasn't expecting this at all, but it seems reasonable enough. Naniwa's statement felt personal and made sense.

Do people realize Nestea was trash talking about Naniwa before their MLG Providence match and said he would crush him, to which Naniwa simply gave a thumbs-down after beating him? Come on now, let's not ignore that. No need to randomly bash Naniwa.

For people who don't know, it really sucks to be in a foreign country without knowing the language by yourself. Best of luck to Naniwa.

His statement makes a lot of sense. Best of luck to him. The happier he can be in Korea - the better of a player he will become, so I think it all works out for the best.

This felt weird, but I guess it makes sense for him, all though he "recently" switched to coL. Also his statement was very good I must say. Not the usual "sadly we parted ways but will continue to cheer for eachother .... " etc. Honest and well spoken, gratts and GL to QxG and NaNi! ^^

Nani is a winner and people like him aren't people-pleasers. That's when a bunch of losers come in with their hate for "bm", which Nani and anyone relevant doesn't give a shit about.

Nani is my #1 pick for the first foreigner to win GSL.

I do think he has goodreasons to switch teams, being a lone representive of your team in korea is kind of silly imo.
I think Jinro is way to loyal, but right now I would understand him switching teams too, with all those swedes merging at Quantic/Startale house.
And Startale house looks really good now. A shame i can't take them seriously with this logo :S
The spirits move me.

Listening Slasher's show right now.

Jason lake apparently said something along the lines of this being entirely Complexity's decision rather than a mutual agreement because they just couldn't deal with Naniwa anymore.

Seems that it's mainly Swedes and other Euros that are trying to defend Naniwa. It's amazing how some people in this thread can't see the difference in what MC did with the suit compared to how Naniwa acted during MLG and other events.

complexity released a statement saying this was not a mutual trade..this was wholly complexity's decision, but they're glad naniwa has worked something good out with quantic..fits with sase etc.

edit: mutual being between naniwa and col. of course
