Don't see why people are going to whine wether he worker rushes or what ever... If he had 4-gated it's just the same thing but taking a little more time... But you'd still whine if he did that... So whats the point of bothering with the whining people anyway...

Shame that he wasn't more badass and did mentioned 4gate, success with it and gg before Nestea. Still probe rush - badassness 8/10. Naniwa fighting!

People are just hating because it's me who did it.


Naniwa, why do you think people hate on you? It's a fact, they hate on you. But I'd like you to think about the reasons. It's something you do or it's some random hating? It's not random man, think your acts.


There are more then enough similar cases by different players throwing matches that did actually matter and no other time has the community blown up similarly to this time. Who remembers FXOz proxy-2 gating half heartedly game 4 on daybreak in the last GSL Code A finals, whilst being 3 games down. It was pretty obvious that Oz was mentally spent and basically admitted defeat and did some half-assed cheese to just get the series over with. It was a terrible game for the spectators. Nobody ever talked about it, or even remembers it, yet it was for a Code S seed and a whole bunch of money. Was that wrong by Oz? No, i don't think so. Starcraft 2 is primarily a mental game and if you are mentally spent then you will only end up embarassing yourself in a long game. Trying to avoid this is only natural.

So why is this such a big deal then?I think it's fair to say that people just love to hate on NaNi, for whatever stupid reason that may be. Double standards exist in every community i guess.

Nuff said! What was the point of having a match between 2 players who were already out in the first place?

To earn money from the sponsors? To be able to profit from hosting a tournament. To be able to host more tournaments in the future.

I agree, people are making a big deal out of everything that has to do with Naniwa, I am getting pretty tired of the bias..

Well, shut out the haters nani, a lot of people respect you for who you are, and dont get too far down because of a bad day.. Keep on practising - good days will come

None can give you skills, ubermicro, wins or anything. If you are man - you take it!

he could have pretended he cares even if he didn't. That's all. Understandable mindset tho... and also true that all this hate towards Naniwa is a huge biais when judging such behaviour... but well...

You deserve a temp ban for that post. Have you not been following the shitstorm carefully, at all?

I don't understand the comparisons to professional sports. I have seen plenty of games near the end of a season with no playoff implications where a team will play their B team players. No one cares because the games don't matter. I think if Naniwa wanted to forfeit they should have let him. I guess that option wasn't available before the game so he basically forfeited in the game.


B team players playing can be akin to trying out a new build, new unit combinations. It doesn't signify flat out not trying.

I don't think thats true, if nestea could advance by winning against nani I'm pretty sure he would try to crush him.

Naniwa has disrespected Nestea, several times :

during MLG,
during the pre interview of blizzard cup
and now by throwing the game...

taking a game from nestea would have stayed, it should be motivation only to face the zerg god. Hell, anyone would be honored to play him... It reminds me of NASL and Painuser letting Boxer wait forever, and never showed up.

Respect for your opponent, teams, sponsors, fans and viewers, that's all we ask.

its not like it was a BO7...

I have to agree with Idra here, meaningsless matches should not be played - Showmatches should be seperated from real tournament matches...

And the koreans should get off their high horses.. seems like they dont like the fact that Naniwa beat their best players in MLG.

I am personnally completely fine with him forfeiting that game.

However, what I cannot understand is that Naniwa didnt predicted what would happen if he did that. It's so obvious that many people would get very upset about it. He really lacks social skills.
