I'm thinking that they are gonna agree with the masses and then what seems like a neutral stance followed by the pillar saying what we should/shouldn't do and how we should/shouldn't act as fans. lol Ha ha I hope so! Make sure you tell everyone to watch. If they hit 40k they're going to play a drunken 2v2! And rip apart Naniwa. HILARIOUS. Recipe for success. | ||

Don't like him; don't watch. Don't give him your time. Right now your on his time considering this is a thread about him. ._. This has the opposite effect. | ||

Everyone knew Idra threw that game when it happened. He simply gave up. This was discussed on SotG, and nobody even tried to dispute this fact. So yeah, if you're outraged about Nani doing this, and weren't feeling the same back when Idra did it, then welcome to the land of hypocrisy, please enjoy your stay. There're thousand and thousand of stuffs happens behind the scene in esports, some might even more disgusting than this, but since we don't know, we don't care. Same as Idra's cases, his games are not televised, so it doesn't actually matter for anybody. But when a match is televised, a lot of people are depending on it: the audiences hope to watch a good game, the players hope to have a good performance, the organizers hope the match event to go well so that they can pull more audiences and advertisers, the advertisers hope the person/event they sponsor to be successful. Naniwa's kind of action only benefit for him, but not for anybody. Now tell me, do you see the respect, professionalism, role model out of Naniwa? Stop trying to defend Naniwa, he's not gonna be your BFF. | ||

It's just like those saying "it would have been ok to throw the game if he had only faked it by doing a weird build". If a professional football player were to decide not to participate in a single practice session, the coach would get angry. If the player were to decide not to participate in a public skirmish, the fans would be upset, and the coach would be outraged. If the player were to decide not to participate in a major game, everyone would be outraged. Nobody cares if the game was important or not. The team, and the sponsors of the team: EVERYTHING THAT IS BACKING THE PLAYER wants the player to play and give their team the best reputation possible. To blatantly disregard all of your immediate support, and to inflict harm on them in multiple ways, is not acceptable. Televised events are what everyone sees. It's where people see who is sponsoring NaNiWa. It's where people see that NaNiWa is proudly wearing a QxG jersey because they are supporting his efforts in that tournament, and supporting him as a professional athlete. He is playing games on a contract. He does not have the liberty to throw away games. To throw away games is to throw away your right as a professional gamer. It's basic common sense. As a professional, you have a standard to uphold. If you do not uphold that standard, you do not meet the requirements to be a professional. NaNiWa disrespected too many people in his forfeit on national television, that is why the Koreans are upset, and that is why you should be upset. If you take this game lightly, and say "it's just a game" then you are not a supporter of professional eSports. There is a conduct code to uphold, and there is professionalism to sustain. If you can not accept that, then you simply just do not support professional eSports. | ||

This has the opposite effect. People fork out money to watch him play games. Proper games. He DOES owe his fans something. If he wants to act like a princess, then fine, give the money back and leave the scene. If you're going to accept money from sponsors and fans to play SC2 then you do owe people something. | ||

That said I can still understand the Korean mindset of players entertaining the viewers out of respect to the production and their opponent; and the fans themselves. I just think it sucks that Naniwa is getting the brunt of abuse and attention for something that most players are "guilty" of, just on a very slightly more subtle level. | ||

No, you see his logic makes perfect sense. He didn't want to disappoint fans so he disappointed fans. Oh wait. | ||

This has the opposite effect. The more attention and negative press he gets here the more likely something will be done to ensure this never happens again. And to my fellow Leaf fan, I agree with you wholeheatedly about our legendary Captain Mats. The same could be said about a lot of players we have had, Steve Thomas comes to mind at times, don't get me started on Lindros, Robert Reichel or Khristich(god he was a flop). I always respected guy like Gary Valk and Tie Domi who gave their all, every night, regardless of what it cost them, and I respect that in SC2 players as well. Class can't be bought, you dont see Boxer crying because he got knocked to GSL Code A Quallies, he just soldiers on, keeps playing, and above all, smiles and respects EVERY opponent he plays no matter what(except for Yell0w  ). | ||

The vocal minority is being very vocal and it's causing what seems to be an overreaction, particularly from the Korean scene. The only difference between Naniwa suiciding his probes and countless other players just cheesing their way out of pointless matches is that Naniwa's approach shows the farce of false competitiveness for what it really is. That said I can still understand the Korean mindset of players entertaining the viewers out of respect to the production and their opponent; and the fans themselves.

Subtlety goes a long way. | ||

Someone should put stuff like this in the topic so we could atleast avoid false arguments. Stuff like this has happened before in sport and in esport Your point? From the article: The direct consequence of the game was that from Euro 1984 and World Cup 1986 onward, the final pair of group matches in international tournaments always start at the same time.[7] People hated that, lol thats why rules were changed. | ||

I've already said that needs to be said. I'm not going to continue to repeat myself, but know this. Just because you bought a ticket to watch your team play doesn't mean everyone's going to come out and play. You have every right to boo the product you see; however anything else is over-excessive. | ||
