How dare people expect someone who gets paid to play in tournaments to actually play all their games. People have way too high of standards nowadays. Geesh. | ||

Game should never have even been played it ment nothing and was just wasting their and everyone elses time. They are show monkeys this is their living. Why show off your strats/waste time. | ||

There's professionalism and there's faking interest. If it were me and I knew that the game was entirely pointless, I would: - see if my opponent wanted to do some trolling fun. - end the game as fast as possible so people could see the later rounds sooner. Nobody wants to sit around and watch a possibly long game that means nothing over watching later rounds in the tournament. I would put forward that he did everyone a favour. | ||

Obviously we don't expect players to use some secret build they have been saving, but at least treat it like a ladder match Why do you immediately ask me? This is the stupidest response possible and you don't even care. You don't understand and yet you immediately reply begging me for help. Have some fucking self-respect. | ||

Sure he can hide his strat, but at least try to play a standard game/show a good game for the fans. | ||

For group stages Bo3 with round robin is akin to playing out a day of MLG through the night. The fact that "BO1 have always been used in Korea" doesn't automatically make it a good format. | ||

Also no matter the result there would have been complaints of, this person didn't try hard enough, or this game meant nothing they weren't trying. Very similar to the MC results last night. No matter what would have happened it would have been ridiculous arguments and theories. No theories now. I may not like his decision...but I at least respect it for what it was. | ||

It would have been like 8 more minutes or whatever... but - he may had a "realistic" chance to win - he would have put up a decent fight - no shitstorm. This just shows that he stops thinking, when getting emotional, which for me translates to "unprofessionalism". | ||

Team A and Team B cannot move on to the tournament. Would "The people who bought HD pass" be expecting Team A to just blowing themselves up with rockets and killing their own team mate because they want the game to end shortly? (as they think it is pointless?) Or if Football Team A starts shooting their own goal? Or if bowling starts hitting pins on another lane? Oh and also let's not forget this is supposed to be a big grudged match and been hyped for a while? And it is broadcasted show? Who cares lulz | ||

I've a hard time believing you think that's true. I can assure I understand, but you aren't making any sense and appear to just be playing a devils advocate because you dislike the huge overreaction that is obviously happening here. | ||

Such people don't constitute a significant enough part of the community to justify this huge reaction. Sorry Tyler, but I totally disagree. Relate it to any other sport. I live in Toronto so lets use the Leafs as an example. I pay money to go see a Leafs game after they have been disqualified from playoff contention, as is the team they are playing against. I put my time and money into seeing them play their best. They get on the ice, win the first faceoff, shoot the puck in their own net, skate off the ice, and have a press release stating "the game doesnt matter anyway". Am I supposed to be okay with that? Should the league be responsible for that happening because they dont selectively cancel games that "dont matter"? When you are a professional, you dont only represent yourself. If you dont care, then stop being a pro, because other peoples time and money, are the only thing keeping you in the spot youre in. You need to show them respect, because without them, you dont have a job. | ||

It sure is outraging when a player probe rushes a meaningless game. But it's not when a team refuses to practice with a fellow member and downright let him find his own practice partners? This has gone WAAAY to far. There is like 1313213213 things that players has done that is worse than Nani's probe rush, and this is not limited to foreigners only. Naniwa does not deserve this kind of hate, especially for showing us some of the best matches of today. Im certain that if another player had done this, he would not even get half of the hate Nani is getting, which is just downright disturbing since he probably doesn't even understand why he gets all this hate. I'm not hating on him, but for E-sports this is definitely not good. It didn't mention that team MVP refuse to train with Naniwa, just that they weren't always practicing within the team house, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. As Naniwa stated, this was not the kind of atmosphere he would like to be in, hence the switch. It didn't seem like they disrespected him. | ||
