EPTIt's ok Nani, It doesn't matter if you fail once in a while. To me you'll always be the only Swede in SC2 with the eyes of a tiger.

NOTE: The words above were taken directly from NaNi through dictation, but were reviewed by an editor for grammer so long as those updates didn't change the meaning or the message as it was meant to be delivered. The final copy was proofed by NaNi before publication. I chuckled to myself over this one. Great statement by NaNiWa though, I had assumed one of the factors he took into account was the special build he prepared to use against NesTea, and I can understand why he wouldn't want to reveal that in a match that didn't count. I think NaNiWa has taken this very maturely, and it has been handled rather immaturely by the community as a whole in return. Good luck in 2012 Naniwa! | ||

GOM has a reputation to uphold which they worked extremely hard to get, and I don't see why they should allow someone to pretty much spit in there face, and the viewers who paid for season tickets/steaming. | ||

I don't understand everyone's criticism of the tournament format... Group stages have been around seemingly forever, and several progamers (including Huk I believe) have expressed that it is their favourite type of tournament play, as it generally negates the occasional occurence of tournament favourites knocking each other out in the early rounds. It's not like GOMTV came up with this brand new, never-before-seen tournament format that just failed miserably... in that sense I'm not sure why GOMTV would have to apologize. Please let me know if I am missing something... the whole 'group stage format causes useless games' has never seemed to be an issue before this incident, it was assumed that players would act professionally in each match. Is it because there was no prize difference between 4th and 5th place? Is it becaues it's BO1 (it's not like this is new either)? Maybe it has been an issue and I've just never heard of it. On a side note, the apology is very well done if it is sincere. | ||

I dont see where it should be Naniwas fault for not playing those games with all his heart. There were other Tournaments where something like this already happened without the players being punished for it, and it should be clear that a player with a broken mindset after losing so many games doesnt play with all his effort in a "meaningless" game, and meaningless it was. In my opinion its clearly a tournaments fault when there are games where the results doesnt effect the outcome of the tournament. I also cant see why they make so much noise about this after the games were played, it should´ve been possible to message Naniwa between the games to say him what would happen if he goes on with it. | ||

I think Naniwa already knows that 95% of the western audience has his back on this issue. Is it important whether he wrote it alone or got help by someone who does PR for a living? He's a gamer and not a professional writer. I'd consider asking for help for such an important statement as a smart move as this will probably translated to korean and stuff -_-. So better iron out any possible points of misunderstanding before releasing it. What's important is that he'll act towards this apology and that's something only time can tell. Stop bashing him for no reason please -_- (not directed to legio but all the other posters who still flame him in this thread :/) | ||

All for a game that matters nothing, yes it matters not one single bit. You do not gain anything from winning that game since you cannot use your original strategy because that would be a waste. Had he used a strategy he would have won a live televised grudge match against the #2 GSL ranked player with everyone in Korea watching and 100,000+ people around the world. Nani who says all he cares about is proving himself wouldn't agree with you. He had a chance to play NesTea live in the GSL and prove himself in the game he is passionate about. Who gives a fuck if there was no money involved? You're missing the point. | ||
