As a pro you have a responsibility to conduct yourself accordingly and professionally. This looks like a kid throwing a little whiney tantrum...what about all the fans that stayed up to watch him play? PAID to watch him play? And he just throws the game. This is terrible for E-sports in general and should be severely punished. | ||

Now would it be great to see Naniwa and Nestea playout a long intense game backed by rigorous training and a heartfelt desire to win? Absolutely, but that was never going to happen under those circumstances. He gave his best when the competition mattered and I think that's all he really owed the fans. Play to win, not for show. This isn't professional wrestling. The game is fun to watch because the players have something to play for and when that drive isn't there you just don't get good games as Naniwa stated. | ||

So why not just go to GOM and NesTea and tell them you want to forfeit? Why pull off this stunt? In SC2 terms: Naniwa has some really poor decision making. | ||

This is terrible for E-sports in general and should be severely punished. Completely agree, looks like tournaments are going to have to make players sign some sort of contract telling them that they will play to their fullest no matter what. Because people pay to watch these events and such, this is going to be necessary. | ||

I haven't seen him whining. Did you even watch the matches or read the interview? On December 14 2011 04:20 mordk wrote: So why not just go to GOM and NesTea and tell them you want to forfeit?

So you would be ok if all the NBA team that dosen't have a chance to qualify for the playoffs just forfeit their games? That would make quite a short season wouldn't you think? | ||

Maybe in the future, there will be an enhanced sportsmanship clause. Also, for the people who say why compete when there's nothing to compete for: you never know who is watching. A potential new sponsor likes you and is interested in your play, a Korean team may be interested in your play and keep you in mind when they're looking to recruit talented foreigners, Other tournaments, investors looking to grow esports, etc | ||

I wish he'd stop digging his hole deeper. Get on with your career, earn money playing games and keep yourself to yourself. | ||

It would be disappointing no doubt, but the expectation as a viewer going to those games is entirely different and generally speaking the amount of spectators drops off at that point because less people care. I mean yeah it would have been okay for him to just half ass it and give a mediocre game but I'm really not that upset about not being given that privilege. | ||

This stuff tilts me so hard. He has the dream job...I would kill to be in his position..Doing what you love and making a decent living at it. And being a whiney bitch int he process is just a huge LOLOL to me. If nani wins the next 2 GSL titles I wouldn't give him any legit credit...and this probably stands true to a lot of other fans as well. | ||
