I'd say it's pretty obvious that this is just him being forced to act in a specific way, he still doesn't give a shit he just has to pretend he does like all the other pros, hallelulja for being professional! Maybe next tournament he can really go the distance and say "I'll try my best and try to win!" when he's asked how he'll do.

quantic has really good and levelheaded management, hopefully nani can stay with them, that way his PR would definetly improve, as long as he does not anything impulsive again.
|
good statement and very professional by both Quantic and Naniwa...in a bit this will all be forgotten just hang in there Naniwa!
|
Its actually quite amazing to see how the differing SC communities react (reddit and TL)
TL is more supportive of GOM and reddit is more supportive of Naniwa.
Just an interesting observation

The defeat of today paves the path to victory tomorrow.

Fair play to Naniwa for coming out with this statement. I hope it is all genuine and that he learns his lessons, takes his punishment like a man, and by the February season of GSL this will all be long forgotten. Good luck for the future Naniwa

Being an adult and a professional means being able to control yourself, which is something he has failed to show he is capable of time and time again. Also, i dislike the asking to reconsider for a second chance. He openly disrespected GOM during a tournament that was meant to celebrate a great year of StarCraft. It's only a month, he can and should wait. I don't understand where everyone gets this sense of entitlement from. You mess up, you accept your punishment, and you learn from it for next time.
The statement isnt necessarily cut and paste. Are you assuming that someone else wrote it because of how well written it is? That's kind of obnoxious.
Also, maybe he honestly didn't realize how disrespectful his actions were to ANOTHER CULTURE. Ignorance is not an excuse, and so I think his penalty is just. Hopefully we'll see him learn from his mistake and understand Korean culture better.

Those sound nothing like something Naniwa would say, but I'm glad Quantic and "Naniwa" gave the community a statement. Hopefully now people can stop giving a shit, like I did! I'm much happier for it.
|
its nice to see both sides having a very grown up way to discuss and settle things off. e-Sports has really matured today!
|
Really good statement from Quantic, and it _seems_ shit just got real for Naniwa. Hopefully this will make him grow and understand for real, who knows...
Gl to all parties in the future!

I hope tomorrow we see GOM being similar upfront about their responsibility for what took place. Bad tournament formats results in perverse incentives, and GOM should own up to that. Yeah these are my thoughts as well. Naniwa's statement is really generous and respectful of GOM. I hope GOM has the sense to reciprocate.
it doesn't change the fact that, if the format was bad, that the player could abstain from the tourney. Players should not only ever consider the best case scenario, and suddenly lose interest if things turn a turn for the worse.
That said, Naniwa was sincere in his apology, he stated that all games are important, and that's huge.

A very good apology. I hope that his actions in the future reflect the mindset exhibited within this statement.
|
I support you, Naniwa! You didn't do anything wrong.

Not just Korean culture. This is a lesson for all of us. No matter what country we visit for SC2 or otherwise, we must abide by and respect all cultures and learn what the particulars and subtleties are.
Whether it be Sweden, Korea, France, any location. The responsibility is ours to learn the target location culture.

Naniwa just won back some cred in my eyes.
Well said, broski. Here's to hoping that mindset sticks, because it's exactly what will carry him to ever higher levels of pro-gaming stardom.
They aren't asking that GOM lets him back into the code S spot, they're asking that they not be jaded to the notion of him getting one in the future. Very fair, and GOM has said that they aren't going to be that harsh.

Chin up, Nani. Glad to see some professionalism, and I'll keep rooting for you as always.
|
Handled in the best possible manner.
Thank you.
Good luck in the future Nani, Quantic and GOMTV.
