He provides entertainment and competition, and there will still be strong foreign players without him. because that is was what i implied. nice. i get it if hes burnt out and doesnt want to play anymore. but only he knows what he wants so well just have to follow his lead. | ||

I see a lot of people saying "Well no one tells us the monetary situations of esports teams so how are we supposed to know?" which is true but then people try to make points with assumptions on financial situations that they know nothing about, so I can kind of see TB's frustration with that. Sure, I can understand that as well, and of course there are some completely unrealistic assumptions. But when there is no information to go on at all (except some rumors about the top paid players), of course all people can do is speculate. This shouldn't come as a surprise. | ||

What is it with foreigners reaching peak form then losing all motivation? So strange | ||

The fact the industry is still in it's infancy (calm down BW folks) in terms on foreign teams, etc, it seems doubtful a standard has been set for the financials of an esports team. One team might pay 2x what the other team does, but no one wants to share information like that because teams don't want to get embarrassed by not having enough to match some other teams salary. As you said, it's pure speculation, but it's fun to guess  | ||

Hearthstone? :D It's like calling him to play in team with Loda and Forest and win TI5. On March 13 2014 06:14 Musicus wrote: I hope this means 1 more slot in the open bracket. No hopes for you.

But here people keep saying it's cause of the turtle fest of the Swarm host. Really? I mean, may not be the truth, is just speculation. But. Really? If that is the case, it's simply silly of Naniwa. Has he forgotten that Terran has had Siege Tanks that do the exact same thing, maybe even better for years? Well despite this I wish him luck for the upcoming IEM and I hope he may return sometime soon. | ||

As you said, it's pure speculation, but it's fun to guess I was actually going to mention that in my first post, but since that was pure speculation as well I decided to leave it out. But yes, looking at the scene from the outside you get the feeling that not even everyone in the scene knows what everyone else is doing. And as I said, this isn't only the money, there are a lot of things going on that you have no way to know about unless you're part of it. Which is why I feel it's kind of strange to criticize people for not knowing. On topic: This sucks. Although maybe not such a surprise after seeing his games in WCS EU. It certainly didn't look like he was having a good day. But even though Naniwa is a polarizing figure, he's still one of the foreigners who can take multiple games of Koreans on a good day. Personally I hope he comes back. | ||

I really hope he finds his motivation, and that Blizzard ACTS. It's not that Zerg in any way is overpowered in my opinion, but Swarm Hosts are simply a very stupid and boring unit, forcing hour-long games whether you like it or not. I really hope this gives Blizzard a wakeup call when one of the very few foreigners even take breaks from the game to avoid playing against swarm hosts. _wake up_ | ||

Naniwas drive and motivation was always his strongest charm, he wanted to win, he wanted to be the best and he put that ahead of everything. It seems how the SH functions and effects the game makes Naniwa lose his drive, my guess would be that the options he finds that makes it the most likely for him to win is not fun for him and he cant find any viable options. This is just guesswork though, hope he makes a comeback. Maybe win at Katowice Anyway I'll always cheer for Nani, hoping for a blazing comeback, all he needs is the spark that ignites it all. | ||
