"I really hope that what I’ve done won’t damage eSports" Naniwa is hurting E-SPORTS!

More on topic, that was a well written apology. I still stand by Naniwa and will continue to cheer for him.
really?

I hope that Naniwa really learns about this experience, he's a awesome player, but he need to grow up as a man. Anyway, good luck him, and I can't wait to see him in the next tournament !

Damage control from Quantic. I don't blame Naniwa for forfeiting a pointless game, but next time he can just proxy 2gate or something.
That is not dead which can eternal lie...

Hopefully Naniwa did learn something from this incident, there's a level of professionalism that one has to uphold when being labeled as one. I love the fact that Naniwa only cares about winning tournaments above everything, but he did make the incorrect decision, and he is suffering the punishment. I'm glad he's taking it like a man though, good on him. Hopefully he'll be able to make it to code S later on in 2012.

THIS is how you do an official statement.

Thank you Naniwa and Quantic.
We make signature, then defense it.

Geeze, I can't shake the feeling that the Nani quote wasn't actually typed up by Nani himself but by some PR guy on the team. If you look at the grammar, sentence formations, etc. here and in every other interview or public statement Nani's made in the past, it's a completely different way of speaking.


I think it's pretty obvious some helped him phrase that, and told him what issues he should address as this is an official statement but I still believe it's real

When your own team doesn't condone your actions and makes formal apology is anyone still going to argue Naniwa is completely innocent?
I don't get why people are still making threads or posting in others and arguing that Naniwa didn't do anything wrong.
I truly hope Naniwa competes in prelims in the upcoming season instead of forfeiting completely and we can all put this behind us.


I think both Quantic and Naniwa understand that nothing good will come out of them arguing this further. GOMTV is to big and GSL to important to risk getting permbanned. They of course now that it was a childish thing of him to do so the best way to go is to just make an apologie and move on.

I think Quantic as well as the fans still belive though that GOMTV acted wrong and very rude and that they probably owe Naniwa an apologie of there own.


That's pretty much it. This a generous bone thrown solely to satisfy the hate train. Pretty soon another controversy will open up in esports land and this will all be forgotten.

I've still made up my mind not to support GOM for the next few months though, and no amount of reciprocation from them will solve that. They left me, as a consumer, with a very sour taste in my mouth about their product and what it stands for.

someone else did, just my opinion.


And what a worthless opinion it is.

Even if he didn't write it, he stands by its contents. So what difference would it make?

It looks like it was simply edited, not written by someone else.

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.

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.

These are some really wise and mature words, I sincerely hope that he indeed feels this way, because that would make me respect him (which I already do, mind you!) SO much more - Showing that you're able to improve beyond improving your game, to become a better, cooler person makes him pretty badass.
Are you ready, guys? Put ya gunz on!

It's a valuable lesson, I hope it will teach him something and that he can avoid things like that in the future. Best of luck.

I respect the team, but have lost any respect to Naniwa or his cut & paste apology. 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.


Gom didn't man up & take the blame & you're not criticizing that.. They didn't even apologize to the fans for the horrible tournament format that allowed this to happen - Naniwa did man up & apologize. If you read his statement you can see he's genuinely confused about this situation.

Silly bias is silly..

Wow, in the past 24 hours NaNiwa has grown up!


Theres a strong statement I can say, but it's definitely not growing up. More like having his personality carved out of him.



Events like this are exactly the kind of kick that can make a person grow up. Or at least mature a lot. Let's hope that's what happened

sorry, what exactly did naniwa do? i havent watched much sc2 in a while (fucking skyrim -_-)

He did a worker rush in a game against Nestea when they were both 0-3 in the group and neither had any chance of qualifing further..
