May as well take a quote from some random troll on TL... Exactly i was used to higher quality articles on ESFI. And concerning Naniwa i think its complexiy gaming's loss. The greatest minds are often crazy, you want to be the best team you want wolves not sheep. | ||

Also, just because they name someone does not always add credit either. It just means to have to take it for the rumor it is, that is a lot of times how journalism works. I am not saying it is right, but it is what it is. You said it yourself. This site isn´t a "major, credible" (journalistic) news source. And they don´t try to make it sound like a rumor but like a proven fact. This is indeed one of the worst articles to read, at least this part of it. The rest sounds ok, backed up with information and reliable sources, take it like you want. But the said part is just completely unprofessional. | ||

Without a source who is willing to go on record you have nothing. What that basically means is that ESFI's journalist took a literal dump on Naniwa. For all we know that anonymous source could be the writer. How can he call himself a journalist, A statement like that CANNOT be made without having someone go on record. According to JP Odee and Jason Lake said pretty much the exact same thing. Add to that tournament organizers in Sweden refusing to work with him. Sure it doesn't add credibility to the article but that doesn't make it wrong. If ten thousand people tell you you are fat, chances are that you are fat. | ||

Basically what it does: if enough people tell you you are fat, you tend to believe it, wether you are fat or not.. | ||

"Some guy said Naniwa is a p.o.s." I counter with "I heard from an anonymous source that ESFI is in the pocket of coL and is staffed by terrible writers with no morals who should be ashamed to call themselves journalists." I hope the community really goes to town on them for this as it's not good enough and we shouldn't accept it regardless of what we think about Naniwa. | ||

Can you cite where Complexity and DIgnitas have officially stated that naniwa needs mental help? If they have im wrong but if they havent then you are assuming. Saying pretty much the same thing and saying the same thing are two completely different things and it does make it wrong. Im not arguing whether or not it IS WRONG OR NOT. Hell all the evidence points to them being correct, its just the way they display the information is completely retarded. | ||

Maybe I'll get some flak for this, and I'll preface by saying that I do not know Naniwa personally, but it has been well known since his Warcraft 3 days, by most people who follow "behind the scenes" (i.e. team managers and owners), that Nani is one of the most bad mannered and pain in the ass players to deal with from a management standpoint. You can call it rumor, gossip, slander, whatever you like. Go back and read the dignitas release notice, and now Complexity's. They aren't worded like that by accident. People in the know knew about his "issues" when Starcraft II was still a dream of the BW fanboy, and not much has changed since. | ||

I hope the scene can sooner rather than later stabilise, and i can actually look at a team name and be able to name most if not every player on the roster. Some day. GL HF to all involved though. And i hope to see Naniwa casting more KSL in future >_> | ||

Considering ESFI has Complexity ads on every page of their website I'm not surprised to see them releasing such "unbiased" articles featuring "secret informations"... | ||

It's interesting that they say they are committed to sc2 but have really no top players. its hard to get top players when alot of them are under contract. THey have to wait for contracts to expire before they can pick up some big names. Notice how tho like any foreigner that shows promise they pick up right away? | ||
