They're a hypocritical society, they can screw over the foreign scene, but GOD FORBID someone is upset after a very disappointing performance. Korean society is about as backwards as they come. Naniwa is still in Nestea's head, good play by him. When the time actually comes and something is on the line, he'll know that at his best he can still win. Koreans take the "sport" seriously? But they'll drop out of a foreign event that BENT OVER BACKWARDS for them? They're full of shit. They also forget who saved their asses from the North in the 50's.. But they'll BITCH about United States Occupation, we spilled blood for a bunch of ungrateful yellow bellies. Ignorant child. Stop spitting hate. The drop out of the NASL was a move the players did not make but the organizations themselves. The organizations believed that they couldn't pay for all their players who would make the LAN event anyways because in the end it would have been mostly Koreans anyways. Your comment about the Korean War not only is ignorant and blasphemous but also you put those veterans who fought during the war to shame. Think for 2 seconds before the next time you turn into a keyboard warrior. | ||

Do I blame him for doing what he did??? Not at all. Can you imagine if you were trying to pass the Bar exam to become a lawyer and you failed it, then they gave you another test that didn't mean a thing.... would you try your hardest? I'd probably just fill out C in every question. Then everyone starts yelling WELL YOU DIDN'T TAKE THAT TEST SERIOUSLY, EVEN THO IT DOESN'T MEAN SHIT!!! YOU SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO BECOME A LAWYER NOW BECAUSE ITS HARD FOR YOU TO CARE ABOUT MEANINGLESS THINGS. Ridiculous. Players don't want to sign autographs after they lose games, you think they want to play meaningless games? Shit lets not stop here let's crucify every single player who didn't play their fucking MLG placement matches after they were eliminated(you know matches that actually meant something in the grand scheme of things)... but oh wait half of them don't even fucking show up. Get off your high horses and stop harping on Naniwa just because its Naniwa. | ||

Some of the most exciting matches I've seen have just been replays from the ladder or custom matches. Yeah, but Naniwa didn't want to play this game. | ||

People are ok with that, but in the other hand they are bitching about what Naniwa did. Bunch of hypocrites. Your analogy is not good either though. Even though Barcelona wasn't full of A-players, their B-Team actually tried to win the game. I don't have an opinion on what happened with Naniwa because I dont watch SC2 though. | ||

My feeling about him didn't change much after this reaction, even if I'm really disappointed. But a professional has to do his job. And a part of his job is to be an ambassador of his team. Another part is to being payed for play a game. Even if you are already eliminated, you have a team, sponsor that count on your image. He failed to do his job, therefore today he was a gamer, and only that. As he stated, he could have done a simple 4 gate all-in. Because he might even have won. This probe rush was also not very respectful of his opponent, without even considering his fans. Finally and I may seem harsh, but Naniwa should really keep for himself comments like "Koreans need to stop making such a big deal out of everything". That is just a stupid sentence. You don't come and talk shit on another culture, even if you don't like/understand it. And I'd add : even more 1) in a game like sc2 2) where you are invited by another country, 3) payed by another country to play in their tournament. End of rant. I may have misinterpreted Naniwa's words. That incident is really not the end of the world, but it is non negligible, and I really hope Nani will understand the real weight his behaviour had this time. You clearly did not read the interview or think rationally about this. NaNiWa could not get motivated to play the game, so he had two options: he could either forfeit or play a mediocre game. He considered this and came to the conclusion that the viewers would feel more disappointed seeing a mediocre game than no game at all. It's up to your own preferences whether you would rather see a mediocre game or none at all, but don't say he didn't even considers the viewers. He was not invited or payed by GOM to play in this tournament; he earned his right to play in it by qualifying. GOM is not an organizer deserving of respect with this Blizzard Cup group stages format, because it forces professional players to make decisions like these (and don't delude yourself that other players feel motivated to do their best when they've lost 0-3 and have no chance of coming back), promotes mediocre games, unfair competition and even matchmaking in the case of a teammate or friend who has lost any chance of advancing playing one who has not. Looking at the facts and considering them rationally, NaNiWa's decision today was not a big deal, but GOM's flawed tournament structure certainly is. But targeting NaNiWa is a much more safe thing to do, and makes good PR with most of the community. Imagine if someone like Wolf or other individual players pointed out the flaws in GOM's tournament structure, oh they would be jumped too if everyone didn't make a collective decision to side against GOM and demand that such a flaw never occur again. | ||

You talk about being horrible at analogies then come up with a horrible one. Football/Soccer/Basketball playing B teamers = Naniwa 4 gating or such Football/Soccer/Basketball not even showing up to the game or leaving the field after a couple minutes = What Naniwa did The second never happens and there would be consequences for doing so. | ||

The amount of PR he has made for Gom is huge, next time he plays everyone will tune in/pay for vods to watch the grudge matches. His new team has also been mentioned loads of time, as well as all sc2 reporting focusing on him for the last few days. That match; best entertainment of the tournament so far. | ||

The B-Team may tried to win the Game, but the Barcelona (as an organization) didnt, if they really wanted to win the game why dont they play with their best formation?...because they are not trying hard enough, because they think they are more important things that Copa del Rey. | ||

How ridiculous would it be for basketball players to just air ball for the last 5 minutes of a championship game because they are down 0-3 in games and losing by 20 points. How ridiculous would it be if a baseball player just swung the bat three times missing on purpose because they were down 0-3 in games and losing in the 9th inning. When one becomes a professional in a sport or actually in any occupation they are given the task of doing what they do and giving it all. NaNiwa clearly didn't and he had his reasons. It's whether you believe that his reasons were a worthy excuse for his actions. His performance wasn't the greatest but he played well. If he was a real professional gamer he would have tried to beat Nestea with his play that day and try to learn something. Does NaNiwa just probe rush on the ladder? No. Does he gain anything from ladder games? Yes. He gains practice. Simply being able to play against Nestea and potentially learning something from him should have been enough of a motivation for a professional player to play out the last game to his fullest potential. Just the night before you saw Liquid Hero struggling but making the most of every situation. He didn't just bow out and bend over but rather played his all. That's why despite Hero's performance people give him respect. Perhaps Naniwa isn't a strong as individual as he should be for a professional at anything. You win sometimes and lose sometimes. He just looks like a bitch when he does something like this while losing and then taunts and yells when he's winning. It's just disappointing to see this happen at this level of play in a game that is suppose to bring eSports to a new level. | ||
