Don't worry, somehow, someway, drama will appear.

Given all of his past behavior people still point to this event as if it was an isolated incident that can be explained away by the OTHER party's bad BM. how long is that going to last until people realize he's an incredibly talented douche as opposed to just incredibly talented.


No one is arguing that he's a nice person.

Even as a fan of Naniwa, we all know he's hard to manage in a team, have high demands, and sometimes act really unprofessional in a stressful situation.

Nonetheless, if complexity really feels there's a need, then they could have chosen to say it STRAIGHT UP.

Or they could remain silent, and it would still be reasonable and fine.

What I don't get is.....why did they take the half-ass approach by hinting negative shit here and there, but refuse to say anything in particular?

I mean, if they have said "Naniwa was a douche on our team and we just can't handle him anymore." Me and a lot of others would be fine with it, because its probably true.

I can't ditch the feeling they ditched him because they felt they'd be better off without the trouble.

Naniwa beat 3 players at MLG to get second. The system let him get that far. I'd bet a lot of money if he had to go through that open bracket like Leenock did, he would have never came close to that place.

He beat Nestea in the most controversial series ever, Huk who hasn't won a PvP in ages and DRG. Then got stomped by Leenock.

I don't know why he gets so much hype. Can't wait to see his GSL performance.


Yeah it's not like Huk beat HerO right before he played Naniwa

I have no qualms with wanting to win so badly, but don't bite the hand that feeds you. You can't go all out on just trying to become a better gamer, although it should be your biggest priority

it doesnt really matter to me, it seems we don't have strong meaning in teams like teamleagues with great storyline and things like that, even in GSTL its not so hyped, wish teams could get mean as much as did in broodwar, where you have epic matches like SKT x KT, even people who not played bw, like me, know how awesome it is

I figured it out! Dexington is really Naniwa in disguise. He's making up fake (and obviously dumb) arguments so that people will argue against him out of their natural urge to call out idiocy, therefore encouraging fan support for who he really is!

On another note (a surprisingly on-topic one), I think Naniwa is really good and I hope he does well in GSL. I think I could imagine him in a semi final honestly.

I thought Nani didn't really like the lax practice schedule of StarTale.

Naniwa has showed before that he can take the long way. He beat the two koreans whos conisidered by many to be the best. Why do you hate on that?

Loved the interview, really got a insider about NaniWa! But you should also give thanks to your norwegian fans aswell! I know there are many!
This is where we begin. Show your true self, Battosai.
