If Naniwa actually shows that he means what he wrote I will have a lot more respect for him than I did even before all of this happened.

I personally lost all respect for NaNiwa, before i considered him one of the best foreigners (when the games matter, ThorZain vs NaNi, Huk vs NaNi MLG etc.) i just don't understand how he can travel multiple countries away, lose a few games and decide to possibly ruin his "pro-gamer" image permanently by losing his temper and not properly finishing what he signed up to finish. Sure most will get over it but for some this seems like it will be a deal-breaker and will no longer support Nani. I personally am one of those, i just don't see how another player may act like this in a tournament that shouldn't be as much about money as it is about fame and glory. To me it kind of feels like he walked into the tourney hoping to win didn't get his way in beginning and decided, f*** this i can't win anymore anyway. he even said the games meant nothing so what was the point in playing a he felt was meaningless. It seems to me if you just want money to play and don't care about reputation as a pro gamer then just stay in easy local tournaments and get your money there. This however won't stop me from watching eSports or GSL tournaments. Formats always change but players image is a much more permanent thing.

Edit: After all is said in done I am glad to see that apologies were made and people can now continue on with their lives and wait for the next big eSports scandal.

That apology wasn't written by NaNiwa, Quantic PR wrote it up for him.

As I am Swedish myself, some of the wordings in the text and the order of the words sounds very typical for a Swede. My guess is that Quantic asked Naniwa for some words and then Quantic rephrased some of it a bit to look and sound better and with less errors.
I can no longer rest under the tree of wisdom, since you have axed down the roots feeding it.

Will be interesting to see how this affects Naniwa in the future. We know he is an emotional guy. Will this give him a need for revenge to prove the koreans wrong, or will he instead focus his play on the western tournaments this season, as he is not bound by weekly GSL matches anymore.


95% swedish maybe

I don't understand, are you implying that the people that doubt his apology are actually Naniwa fans and not his haters?



No, I am pointing out there are people defending him that are saying his apology is not real/sincere/or needed. They're trying to talk for him.. -_-
Wut?

Naniwa certainly didn't write that, but I hope he at least agrees with the core message.

Glad to see Naniwa might understand what it is to be a pro player now. I wish him luck and hope that he understands that even if a player has one bad game or a series of them their fans still support them.

As nice as the apology is, I find it exceedingly difficult to believe it was written by Naniwa himself.

Hey Quantic Gaming,

Organize a bo5 or bo7 showmatch pitting Naniwa against Nestea. Put up a $1000 prize pool, have of the prize pool goes to the winner while the other half goes to the winner's choice of charity.

This would give the fans the "rival match" that was "stolen" from them and it would be good PR. This would also help mend the relationship between Naniwa/Quantic and the e-sport community.

That's quite a lovely idea. Would love to see that.

yah... it sure hasn't seemed like 95% I doubt im part of a 5%. I really hope he learns and continues improving and either is given a 2nd chance next season or earns his shot to get back there asap. Dude works hard and as long as he learns to be professional and respectful to a certain degree he deserves to go far.

This is why more pro's ought to do vlogs, eh Tyler? That's the ONLY way we can believe that Naniwa is actually saying those things! /s
