We swear that calling Naniwa a pro-gamer is overrating him. No you're not. He's a professional gamer whether you like it or not. He is very good, if not the best, at SC2, so you can't really argue whether or not he's a pro-gamer no matter how much you might dislike him. | ||

He doesn't have the professionalism and integrity to be called one | ||

At least he's not a fake like most of these retards. professional also means he has a responsibility to those who pay him. aka fans->sponsors/tournaments | ||

Just seeing this community in a blaze of unrational emotion like this will hurt e-sport. Sit down, rexal, stop hating and think how can we solve this, make things better, instead of raging and hating. This is more drama than when Rory in Gilmore Girls was dating that heroes dude, forgot his name. Srysly | ||

And Mr. Chae publicly calling Naniwa an amateur money-grubber makes e-sports oh-so-professional? This whole awful situation is a testament to the fact that SC2 is indeed a joke if we apply the standards of actual professional sports to it. Both on the player side, and the tournament organisation side. Well, actually, players do retarded shit in a lot of sports, while tournament organisers usually at least maintain a proper public image. | ||

This kind of emotion over an obvious throw of a game means a lot of people actually care about the integrity of this game. Being on a televised matched is privilege (money match or not, people are sacrificing their time to watch you play a videogame) but Naniwa acted entitled. It was an obvious throw (a cheese game has a chance of winning) and you dont mess with respect on the korean turf. (kind of how americans freak out about nudity but it is fine in most of Europe). | ||

Last time I checked, this was a TOURNAMENT right? Where you try to WIN? If it was mathematically impossible for you to win, then why the hell would you continue play? Giving esports a bad name is when a bunch of cry babies have nothing to do but create useless drama out of nothing. That's what will kill esports. | ||

If the players doesn't even have the integrity to respect the sport itself, what good is the sport? | ||
