Pretty epic PR release from Quantic. Did they steal EG's PR guy? :D


With that being said, I really like their stance on the situation...


We want to make it clear that we do not condone NaNiwa’s actions during his match against NesTea.

Quantic doing a great job supporting Naniwa, while still showing great diplomacy about the issue.

I think what he said last time was better. it does sound like him and i don't think a proplayer is more then a guy trying to get money and play the game you like.. all this respect and so on is to much..
haha funny huh? keep joking.

Good statement by both Quantic and IM.

Best solution: Gom lets their current decision stand and invites Nani into the 2nd season of 2012.

Which I'm guessing is the solution they've decided on behind the scenes also.

I feel so bad for Naniwa.
I hope this won't affect his play in the future!

I am glad that quantic and naniwa aren't taking any "Professionalism is a korean value", or "things weren't properly understood or fair"

However, time will tell whether or not that statement is indicative of any actual realization.

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.


Don't make Greece look worse than it already does in the international community. It's clearly not a game when people are dedicating their careers to it.

I hope that the apology reflects NaNiWa's thoughts and is not simply an expertly crafted apology letter from a publicist. That said I think it's time to move on...

Naniwa didnt do anything wrong. This statement just represents what he needs to say to appease the community. He has nothing to appologize for. imo, people are just getting their panties bunched up for nothing.

We understand that GOMTV’s decision to revoke NaNiwa’s Code S spot for the next GSL season was not one that was made lightly. He has decided against participating in the coming GSL season as a statement of his sincere regret and in the hopes that he may have a future opportunity to compete in GSL against the world’s best.

I don't exactly understand this. So they revoked his Code S spot and he decided against participating in the next GSL Season? Does it mean that he will participate in neither Up/Down / Code A or are they saying that both NaNiwa and GOM decided against him playing in Code S next season?




They mean he won't try qualifying for Code A.

I really like this statement. I disagree with what Naniwa did but you can see he clearly knows that what he did was very unprofessional and is doing what he can to show people this. I'll admit reading this makes me feel bad for Naniwa, but the one thing people need to understand is that you need to take responsibility for your actions and sometimes that includes taking a punishment that you and others may feel is too harsh. I fully believe that this statement is Naniwa doing exactly that, taking responsibility even though he may be devastated by what has transpired.

+1 points to Naniwa, you're okay in my book

I'll just let this be the end of my participation in this debate. Naniwa has gotten his punishment, have given his apology and it's all up to him to live up to it. If he can do it, he'll win people over eventually. If he can't we'll have more of these threads in the future.

Pretty good statement. If it was more promt I'm sure alot of this drama could have been easily avoided . Or if GOM wasn't so rushed to make a descision and actually heard what Quantic and Nani had to say.

Regardless whats done is done.


I wasn't aware that an apology suddenly fixes everything and removes any need for punishment. He may have apologized for it, but it doesn't suddenly make GOM's decision seem rushed...

Just like the previous unprofessional remarks made at MLG, can suddenly be made better because he apologized for it? That statement was probably written by some PR expert, and it is just a statement posted online. Even if it was written by someone else, I would take it more seriously if it was Naniwa verbally apologizing, rather than just a statement.

A well thought out statement. Hopefully, this will put the issue at rest now.

Progamers are people too. This should become a movie! "beneath the machine there lies a beating heart"
Im glad that his team is standing by him instead of dumping him like most other teams would.

Well, pretty much a statement as expected. 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. And hopefully with a straight, believable story of whether naniwa was 1) banned 2) had his qualification revoked as a consequence of his game against nestea 3) had his qualification revoked earlier as part of the overhaul of the system (though they didn't inform anyone, not even naniwa, of the changes) or 4) was never actually qualified.
