Come on people can't you see this is just fkin hilarious?
Any community needs people like Naniwa and Idra otherwise everything would just be boring.

Would MLG be the same without Idra ragequitting? HELL NO
Is Naniwa pissing off Koreans a great thing? Ofc it is

Now all Koreans will want to beat him in Code S, that's gonna be great.

I don't see the point of this interview. It restates everything everyone already knows.

Naniwa isn't even worth the attention anymore.

Once he gets bounced from Code S, he won't get back in. And I hope other tournaments have learned that he won't put on good games if he has lost and not invite him.

Yes, because this situation completely sheds light on internal business that happened between naniwa and complexity. /sarcasm

OMFG ROFLOLCOPTER! Burn the heretic!

No. The game didn't matter so why care at all? Why play it in the first place?
Naniwa for president!

That's the truth right there.

SC2 community is easily the most biased community i have ever been a part of.

Yeah, just like a rapist who got out of jail decides to go rape again gets a more severe punishment than a first time offender. Such an unfair system!


No. It's more like a rapist gets out of jail and helps a woman pick up some groceries and gets arrested for sexual assault.


Here's a comparison for you:
It's a person asked to do his work without salary. I'm sure everyone here would keep on working, not saying a word and show their best performance despite not getting payed.
Personally I'd spit in my employers face and walk out of there.


Well personally I would (and have) stayed without the pay and still done an exemplary job. But that's just because I'm a fucking exceptional employee.

Not sure the analogy fits entirely though.

He understands nothing, really, he can't even recognize his mistakes, this kid has no pride, no honour, no respect for us and his opponent.

Very lame by NaniWa, I'm sorry but I feel there is a kind of respect towards the other progamers and not this kind of shananigans..

I agree with Nani that since he wouldn't have been absolutely playing to win anyway that no one is being robbed of an epic game. It was still disrespectful but he's not a monkey in a zoo, he doesn't have to dance for your amusement. He's made it clear that he plays to win and once he can't win it doesn't matter.


NO.

The correct thing to do in such situation is to play a cool game. Do a mothership rush, hallucination rush or something that would say, "the result of the game does not affect our status in the tournament, however as professional gamers we would bring the entertainment to our fans, teams and paid viewers."

He has to dance for our amusement, in the game. Him winning money is not what I look forward to from being his fan. I look forward to his games.



I do not understand where this expectation that every SC2 player has to be an entertainer is coming from. A professional player be it football or SC2 should play to win. It is not his job to go out and entertain, it is his job to win. If him winning isnt what you look forward to then Naniwa isnt the guy you should root for.


The job of a pro whatever, be it footballer, baseball player, SC2 player is to COMPETE, not just win. Yes I want to see my favorite teams and/or players win of course. But primarily I want to see them try their damn hardest to win and show some damn heart and passion for the game.
If you are only a fan of team or player(s) when they win, and don't watch them when they are losing but at least are trying their hardest, then that's being a bandwagoner, not a true fan.

Even if there's nothing at stake, it's still a broadcasted game and his fans are going to watch it. Saying his fans would not be pleased if he tried half hearted is plain stupid, i'm pretty sure most people turn on the gomtv player to see good game between good players, regardless of the stakes.

You're frustrated because you lost ? That's fine, I would be too. But I don't say "screw it" when I still have things to do. Naniwa just wants to do the things that benefits himself, not thinking for a second of the viewers, the fans, the tourney and so on. No wonder so many people are calling him unprofessional. He's just extremely selfish and doesn't seem to care. Such a child.

And how sad is that some people blame the system and not naniwa. The system is what it is, you don't enter it thinking you're not going to apply by the rules set by it. It was not up to naniwa to say "hey the system is stupid and this game doesn't matter, so i'm not going to play it". At least try something that have some chances of success.

And who cares if it was done before at DH, it's still bad.
When you play the game of drones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground. Huge IMLosirA fan.

Terrible comparison. Clearly you're not interested in the job anymore. Apparently Naniwa still wants to compete in Korea (hint: the GSL).

I'm sorry for naniwa, not because of the backlash but because he's obviously unaware of the ways of the world. Like he said, if he had put on a "fake" show, like a 4-gate, none of this backlash would've happened. Doing a 4-gate and probe rushing are equivalent things to him, but not to the community.

I guess u must be new or something.
Naniwa has said numerous times that he plays to win.
If there's nothing to win he doesn't play.
I can still remember him leaving a showmatch with morrow because there was no prizemoney involved.

Whether you like it or not, he plays the game for himself, not for his fans or w/e.
You can flame him for it but he couldn't care less.
