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?
I think he's saying he feels bad about it so he's not going to try to qualify into Code A next season as an additional, self imposed punishment.
Anyway props for releasing the statement. It wouldn't surprise if Nani really didn't realize he was doing something so dumb, so hopefully like he said he'll think more next time.

Lovely statement.
Impressed by both Quantic Gaming and NaNiWa.
Hang in there man, we believe in you!
|
with the elongated code s seasons gom acted a bit harsh for what was ultimately their mistake.
|
Naniwa should remember where this game came from and how much people would fight for just a chance to play “meaningless game” against a top korean.
As many of the old school Broodwar fans remember the tornys didn't used to be about the money or to advance in a bracket, it was for the honor to play against the best and give it all you've got.
|
Can we lock the 1000 threads about this now?
|
Quantic seems like an awesome organisation and I would sincerely like to work for you.
|
It's really a cultural gap. Not even IdrA would dare to do what Naniwa has done, while IN Korea. IdrA spent years in Korea to understand Korean culture (perhaps respect, status quo... etc) and then to get some respects from the Koreans. Naniwa has yet to do that.
|
Even though I have gone on and on about how I believe that Naniwa was the one in the wrong in this situation, that doesn't mean I hate Naniwa. I'm sure this will be a great learning experience for him and that he'll be able to come back stronger. I've seen many of his interviews and I believe he has the dedication to not give up despite this setback.

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..
because GOM didn't do anything wrong and have nothing to apologize for? don't like the format? don't accept the invitation and play in their tournament.

Hope to see Naniwa in Code S soon.

sorry, what exactly did naniwa do? i havent watched much sc2 in a while (fucking skyrim -_-)
During a televised match Naniwa sent his starting probes to falcon punch nesteas hatchery. It didnt work.

Mature response, I like it. Hopefully everything goes well in the future.
|
I hope he means it and this isn't just his team covering his ass. If so, great and hopefully this doesn't happen again in the future so we can watch entertaining games no matter the position.
|
If that statement from Nani is genuine I really feel sorry for what happened to him and I'll root for him again. Somehow it seems like damage control from Quantic. Although if Nani truely thinks this I hope Gom gives him an code a/s seed for GSL February.
Nani/Quantic fighting.

is the a link the to games on youtube? i wanna see this!

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.
No matter whether Quantic thinks Naniwa is innocent or not, they'd be fools to not make a public apology after GOM has taken action.
|
Those are Nani words, i know the way he talks ^^ So, we had an apology, now please unban him.

IMHO- They should do a show match Naniwa vs Nestea bo7 for lets say 500$. Then Quantic would be truly trying to put this behind (+we would get to watch a really good series)
|
That's a pretty good statement.
I also respect Quantic Gaming for standing behind and supporting their player through this, thumbs up.
