It's sad to see him lose his Code S spot, but I suspected some kind of backlash would happen. Nani's statement seemed one of both personal growth and honest sentiment. Kudos! | ||

Why cannot there be a diversity, why not let players that want to play for fans do that and those that do not likewise ? Do we really want a bunch of dishonest actors, it seems that majority (although not overwhelming majority) wants fake, but nicely looking facade. This is exactly the place where market forces would work great. Players that do not attract fans and sponsors would just not have them, there is no reason to force everyone into the same box. Point of the professional scene is in money, so let the market decide. And yes I support tournaments to just not invite players that they do not like, but in transparent manner and with the knowledge that it might bite them in the ass. No game is a pretend game; that is the proper attitude. Especially not a game that is in booths, on a stage, in front of fans (some of them paying), and in front of real commentators, and with real sponsors. The point, though, is never money; money is means. I am especially disappointed that Naniwa would throw a game against Nestea, with whom he has developed a special rivalry with recently. If he can't get excited about showing that, even at 0-3, he is still playing better than Nestea, than it seems Naniwa's motivations are far too narrow, as he has indicated in his statement. So, I hope he takes that to heart. | ||

It reminds me of those who don't turn up to consolation matches in MLG, but atleast he shown up..Hopefully GOM Tv can move on from it and realize, to him, it was nothing and that has now changed and won't happen again | ||

This isn't GOM's fault. I don't think anyone could imagine a scenario in the Blizzard Cup where two players would face each other with 0-3 records. | ||

If he doesn't conform to some of the rules of the big world such as that you show respect to others you'll run into trouble sooner or later. That sooner or later is now for Naniwa. He can either learn from this or he can continue on his path and keep shooting his own leg. Looking at the apology he is taking this the right way. It is nice of course that we have good fairy godmothers such as yourself to nurture him and to tell him that he can act any way he wants and it's okay. Unfortunately the real world doesn't work like that and the sooner he changes his behaviour (this does not mean losing any of his so-called passion or even his way of thinking) at least in the public the better off he is. It is just mind-boggling that some people think you can act in any way you want. You can't. Sometimes you just have to do unpleasant things like play a quick game of SC2 in front of a crowd. It may not feel nice at the moment but if you don't and you step on people's toes then don't be surprised if there are consequences (no, I don't think GOM's decision was optimal). | ||

By the way, there are murderers who just murder because of the sudden difference in temperament. Sometimes, it's not very controllable, but its normal. I know this to be true, because I have a disorder too, but I'm perfectly fine most of the time. | ||

I said run not ruin. It's not upto YOU to make decision for other ppl. They do it themselves just fine. | ||

One of the things I find so interesting about NaNiwa's personality is that he rarely does anything explicitly BM. It always seems more of a case of him just not... knowing how to handle social situations. Which is bad enough, but then when you get thrust into a culture that is HIGHLY concerned with manners and social practices... it's a recipe for disaster. I often wonder if NaNiwa doesn't have asbergers or some sort of mild autism. I hate to speculate, but that's what it reminds me of. People I've met with such conditions are never really intentionally rude or anything, they just sort of don't GET how certain social situations are supposed to be handled, which usually results in others just wondering wtf they're thinking... Anyway, NaNiwa fighting! | ||
