For one when you guys say NaNiwa didn't break any rules, he broke the social rules. As NaNi stated he wasn't really aware of anyone else and just cared about winning/being the best, however when you are being a guest in someones culture, tournament, business things change.

Also for those of you speculating if it was NaNiwa or not (who wrote it) you don't know him, I don't know him, no one here knows him, you do not know what NaNiwa sounds like so don't pretend you do.

I like what I read from Naniwa, I just hope he means it because he could really grow from this if he does. Again, I feel like revoking his code S was too harsh and I wouldnt have done that BUT I'm okay with the decision (nothing we can do about it now.) I want to say that Naniwa took the high road on this and will be back better than ever. Hope this doesn't demotivate him as hes been one of the role models when it comes to dedication and work ethic.

GOMTV is being sillly with its descision. comon. ITS A GAME WTF. thank go we are not like the koreans and take that whole gaming thing so seriously.

You can think that way, since you're not living in Korea and training because you're not good. This isn't just a game. People play this for a living. To say it's a game would be saying that baseball is just a game and when people are unsportsmanlike in that, then it's ok; it's just a game. Naniwa had spent time in Korea before so he knows how serious it is and how much Koreans take pride in it. He should have showed more class.

GOMTV statement on Naniwa Incident

Interestingly enough they make things up, making me lose all respect for them. Naniwa earned a spot in Code S yet now they claim he didn't? Even the official website says he earned a code S spot.

http://www.majorleaguegaming.com/news/naniwas-ascension/

"Naniwa [..] earned a seat in Code S."


This is the part about GOMs announcement i don't like, they basically just said "yeah, we changed our format which in turn made it so that Nani's confirmed code S spot wasn't valid" without mention ANYTHING up until now.
We make signature, then defense it.

Just read goms answer and got even more pissed. They refuse to say that they did anything wrong and that it was even a punishment at all. Bullshit. Own up to the fact that gom got pissed (understandable) and that nani got punished and its all good. Also do NOT bring up bullshit about a format change that supposedly happend now that no one in the community knew about. Even mlg said nani got a code s spot!

If NaNiwa has the quality and skill to compete in Code S, then he would easily(?) win the final in Code A and earn Code S during Jan GSL. Hope to see new NaNiwa in GSL


I'm sorry but that's just not true. Just because you are capable of competing in Code S doesn't mean you will easily be able to get through Code A in your first, 2nd, or even 3rd try.

There are a lot of good players their that are capable of Code S, but the fact is you need to win mutliple games against some of the best and it isn't necessarily easy...

The statement is a good start. Maybe actually being punished in a real sort of way like this is what it takes to change somebody like him.

QxG sure is in an akward situation. They put out a negative statement about Naniwa before they knew they would get him. They get him on their team a very short time later and within days of joining the team he creates this huge drama and makes them look like idiots b/c of their tweets hyping the game.

Ouch.

GOMTV have released a statement on the Incident. Posted earlier but buried under the comments -_-


I don't see a reciprocal apology, or even an acknowledgement of their flawed format, in that statement. If anything that GOM statement sounds even more like a canned answer than Quantic's repsonse.

ROFL apologise... FOR WHAT?!

You remind me of a kid I knew who hated losing, and wouldn't ever acknowledge that he, and he alone was wrong. He would often say: "I'm sorry, but YOU WERE WRONG TOOOO!!!! I was wrong BUT YOU WERE WRONGER!!! I'VE APOLOGISED NOW IT'S YOUR TURN BITCH!"

The format... is perfectly fine, get the fuck over it. There's only one wrong guy in this whole story, and he apparently issued an apology, so it's okay for now.

It's good to see you taking this so maturely when you basically got screwed by Gom's unprofessional-ness. I look forward to watching your games in the future

I have to say I'm very impressed by Naniwa's apology. I'm sure Quantic had some pull in the crafting of such an apology, but it's very mature and big of him to step up and say "ya know what? I fucked up, and I'm sorry".

I'm also really glad he's made the realization that there's entertainment in watching such a phenomenal contender, and that he's now playing for his fans, his team, and the reputation of eSports in general.

I've never liked Naniwa much because of his attitude, but this is a HUGE step in the right direction for him and I'm very very happy to see this from him. Good on you, Naniwa. I hope you continue to be an awesome player, with great entertainment value!!!

NANIWA HWAITING!
