eh, i thought i cared before, but i just wanted to watch a good game between Naniwa and Nestea really

nothing was at stake, choice was entirely Naniwa's. GGs

A proper rematch is not a Bo1 played after both players have lost several games in a row. I want a proper rematch too, but I don't think there's any way I could have gotten it here under these circumstances.

I agree with naniwa and also the post morrow did, why play it out? I guess someone that does not understand anything about the game could enjoy it, but not really. Like he said if he had just done a 4 gate and lost that way no one would care. It would just take 5 minutes more. He should have the option to forfeit the game.

Also koreans blow everything out of porportion this is nothing new.

Ofcourse I would also have loved to see a real game, but the circumstances were not there for a real game, wich is sad. Because you could have won atleast two of the previous games at some points, just bad luck or whatever it was. You are still my favourite player nani, keep it up!

Naniwa has an amazing ability to put himself in the center of attention. Hopefully it won't affect him too much. Good luck nani

I still don't get what the fuss is all about, nothing would have changed regardless of the outcome, and once you're tilted that hard you really wouldn't be able to play at your best if you tried.

Wow, very fast reactions from WaxAngel and Hot_Bid, great job! It's still really tough to make a solid opinion given there are a lot of valid reasons being discussed from both sides. However, I hope people will be open-minded and at least listen to his reasoning as well as many others defending NaNi's decision.

Nevertheless, it's awesome to get such a fast and formal response from Naniwa.

What a joke. This is supposed to be professional Starcraft 2.


You are absolutely right. professional gamers are infallible.
This was a mistake on Naniwa's part. Thus, Naniwa is fallible.
THUS... Naniwa is not a progamer.

Man is honest about his actions and thats what I like about him. He is who he is and he isn't denying that.

People are always overdoing it when it comes to Naniwa. The probe rush was at least funnier than a 4 gate.

I don't understand how one person can disrespect every organization he plays for, jump teams like he's changing underpants, and constantly whine about how he's not getting any respect. I tried to stay positive about Naniwa after he was sold from Complexity, but this just takes the cake.

In the span of a month he has been sold from a team, complained about a tournament he nearly won, and shit all over anyone who paid for the Blizzard cup. I tried to be supportive of him, but I seriously can't do it anymore. His attitude towards everything is a joke and it's become blatantly obvious that he cares for nothing other than him self. This is not the kind of person foreigners need representing themselves on the grandest stage in Starcraft 2 scene.

If I could do it again i would just 4 gate and then people wouldnt have complained
I think this is everything that needs to be said to be honest.

A meaningless game is meaningless. But a probe rush fire up the community better than failed 4gate.

This match should have not happened. They skip these in the up/down matches.

Still Naniwa's fan.

It's actually a big deal if you know anything about respect and if you're brought up with correct values.

Whether or not it would've been half-hearted or not, throwing a game shouldn't be condoned.

That's all I have to say on the issue.

I dont think he should have done it but I do agree that the koreans need to calm down before they start blowing up their twitters.
