I just think it sucks that he doesn't stick with a team through the contract when they stuck with him even through the hard times. Not often you find a team willing to do that for you.
Yeah Quantic seemed really great with nani.. really sad to see him go tbh.
He was fairly BM with his ggs in his games in WCS and TSL though from what I can tell, so he might've left as he didn't want them to deal with it. I'm totally on thin ice though. Just speculating, as none seems to have any real info.

For tournaments, sure all kind of publicity that a player brings, good or bad, is good. For a team, no. It is important for teams to develop a fanbase and for fans to like their players. Also the statement about antifans watching games more than fans sounds like bullshit to me anyways.

Didn't DRG need a seed to get into Code S? It's been a long time, but if I remember correctly, he won a seed through an MLG. Not that DRG doesn't deserve Code S, but discounting Naniwa's achievements in Code S because of a seed is pretty lame. You might be thinking about MC... No It was DRG who never made it past the qualifiers. He got invited into it. MC got knocked out and got back with the MLG seed. I think this is a good example of great players not being able to pass the qualifiers. Just because NaniWa didn't go through the qualifiers to get in doesn't mean he sucks. Especially since he's been the only foreigner in code S the last 2 seasons. Huk used to stay in Code S but not in the new format. When the format changed, Huk got knocked out of Code S. So really, the only foreigner to survive the new format is NaniWa. That should be a feat in itself.
DRG did get through the qualifier. It did take him a while though. His first Code A appearance was stopped by JYP in R16. He got a Code S seed from MLG after that.

I for one don't watch matches for the sole reason of wanting to see players I don't like lose. I agree with the poster you quoted and think Naniwa is far from top 4 valuewise. I rank InControl the most valueable player in SC2, only trumphed by the likes of Day9 in overall value in the entire sc2 scene. Only way for a player to compete with that kind of value, without the charisma and social skills they posses is to be the best player in sc2 or at least be the best of their race. Naniwa is neither...

I dunno. InControl and Idra have / have had a lot of "antifans", but they seem very important in EG.
Thank you guys for not saying 'haters'.

My point was that what players say is often exaggerated to bring drama and more fans, and besides what the players think often doesn't matter that much in the end.
