EPTI see a lot more similarities with Idra than the article though. Both have a difficult personality (in public), anger problems and deeply polarize(d) the community. Difference is only that Naniwa usually bashes his opponents only when losing, while Idra was a jerk both in winning and losing.

He puts in the work. It is a shame that Naniwa and Idra had to be such "divas" of eSports. If they could control their "jackass" behavior they could have been Stephano class type players. It is such a shame that their hard work is off-set by their unwillingness to be professional when it is mandatory. | ||

I find this funny because Stephano was a real diva himself, just in a different way | ||

See the difference? Why did Stephano have a "spoiled work ethic". He got the job done, don't know what else he should have done. It's rather that a lot of Koreans have a spoiled workethic. They'd be even better if they treated topplayers like other countries treat their topsportsman. | ||

Naniwa either looses to any fantastic player and get a new chance at Dreamhack soon...or he makes it to the final and creates the defining starcraft2 tournament for a long time to come................ | ||
