EPTIt is the same in Soccer World Championships. After a team is on 6-0 and secured first position in its group, you can watch a horrible B-Team 90 minutes long.
I like Naniwa's way more.

So this game was "pointless," but CoCa plays in another tournament throws a game to Byun and gets his Code S spot taken away. That is unfair to CoCa if Naniwa has nothing happen to him because he says it was "pointless" while CoCa was "wanting one more game for practice." | ||

Wasn't there a prizepool in the tournament where coca lost that one game on purpose? And gom didn't take him his code s spot, slayers did it, don't know how gom would have reacted. | ||

You do know that Nani's match versus Nestea held no significane while CoCa's did? Don't speak about things you don't know anything about. | ||

Coca's game was at worst equivalent to Naniwa's. If the community is going to be harsh on players, at least be consistent. | ||

Despite being from a very small country (which means almost no "free" supporters), everything he does causes massive amounts of attention. And in the online world, attention is king. Even if you are just slightly into Starcraft for sure you will know who Naniwa and Quantic gaming is by now, every move he makes causes a stir. No one cares if others BM, do thumbs down or rushes in a game but when Naniwa does it the world almost stops. So I salute you Naniwa, I don't think anyone would have been able to generate this amount of attention and I definitely think this is a great thing for your esports career. | ||

People should be annoyed at the organizers instead. They're the ones who decided not to have a loser's bracket. | ||

Naniwa also showed some disrespect to Nestea, who was prepared to play, and to Gom. But calls for Naniwa's head are more than a little overblown imo. Besides, it's good to have a polarizing figure like Naniwa in the scene. It makes following SC2 much more interesting. | ||

Pretty sure coca lost and that's what was the biggest problem http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=285580 Coca had won the first game in the series, and he was also winning the second but then Byun asked him to leave and Coca did. Byun won the third game and advanced to the next round. | ||
