And he knew that was a possibility beforehand and agreed to it, then shit all over GOM and everyone watching. Really embarrassing and childish, although I kind of expect it from Naniwa at this point.

The fact that the match shouldn't have been played is completely tangental. It has absolutely no bearing on whether or not somebody should show common decency and a smidge of professionalism in what is a basically a show match everybody wants to see.
Also, everybody saying people are only mad because it is Naniwa, he hasn't earned anything but disdain for his actions. He has been a terribly unprofessional player in tournaments and on teams.
If he wants people to stop blaming him just b/c it's him, then maybe he should stop doing stupid shit?

I don't think it's such a big deal really... I wanna see Naniwa play his best. So I don't mind him leaving. It's not fun to see a player that u cheer for have nothing to win in a set of games. Boring to watch almost

He broke as much of a rule as Coya or Coca did, the Koreans seem to like the phrase "think, before you act". Personally, I don't really care whether they punish Naniwa because it wasn't a good thing morally what he did. Gom already showed that they are applying double standards regarding whether to punish players or not, so in that regard they are in no position to preach to the players.

Nothing to gain. I sure as hell wouldnt work an extra hour if I wasn't getting paid for it, and Naniwa seems to see it that way too. He's a pro gamer, nothing more, nothing less.

lol what naniwa did has nothing to do with cojones or ballsy? If he got his shit together and played an entertaining game for the fans then I would call him a progamer. Wouldnt be surprised about another announcement soon that Startale players refuse to practise with him and he whines again. what an idiot.

This isn't the same at all, Coca was letting a friend through by throwing a game and GOM didn't force him to leave, his team, SlayerS did. Naniwa's game had no effect on anything, and he also already played an extremely impressive game vs Leenock.

A bit funny that no one flamed Hero for going Nexus first in PvP, the chance of succeding with it is about equal to naniwas 7 probe rush I'd say : D

Big Difference between streaming and tournament. On a stream u know that they have nothing to win from the start

Naniwa should not be punished, as he didn't break any explicit rules. I would actually agree with a punishment if the tournament life of another player would have been on the line. But this game was inconsequential for all involved. Naniwa was just too honest about it. Give him a warning and then move on, this is no time for tournament bans or similar measures. I have seen unsportsmanlike behavior a lot in the years I have followed e-sports, much of which did go unpunished, this is one of the more harmless examples.
|
He should have done that 4-gate. Probe rushing is just like ff 10 secs in the game. I dislike his behavior, but I don't really care too much.
|
lol really shitty that he did that. I mean obviously we all knew it was for nothing at least in that tourney. But if he really wanted to not play he should have did something that at least made it looked like he cared. I actually did care about the results of the match since they have been building a little rivalry it seems.
But I do see why he thought him just doing probe rush was ok i guess....

It was a shitty game, yeah, but faaaar more interesting than any half-assed 4gate. This was real and a quite powerful statement that you can't treat professionals any way you want. It doesn't work this way in any other business and shouldn't either in SC2-competition.
|
Naniwa is such a cop out with his reponses to these questions. Poor excuse. I really feel bad for QxG buying this guy's contract out.
|
Holy shit people overreact. What he did was (possibly) offensive to Nestea, and there's nothing else wrong with it.
