Naniwa is the last true personality left in the foreign sc community... suddenly the game seems quite a bit more boring (and its already reached a level of dullness)

I've been very sad about Nani quitting, but I already went through all the emotions on the night after his WCS games. I pretty much felt this was going to happen then. Now there's just emptiness, and a quiet wondering if I'll ever feel the same about watching SC2 again.

my team gave me a great contract, its not about money for those who wonder. i am taking a break untill i get motivation back but if that doesnt happen then ofcourse i wont continue. i just dont like the game anymore and i feel like blizzard will take a super long time to fix it. i am tired of complaining about it so instead i just choose this instead



Not the best at reading comprehension are you?


My comprehension is based on " i just dont like the game anymore and i feel like blizzard will take a super long time to fix it".
What does he expect Blizzard to fix ? It's obvious he wasn't talking about the design since it would require the whole redevelopment and the earliest could happen is LotV. The only thing he could talk was a balance "super long time to fix".

I'm not 100%, but when the problem was free units from blord-infestor, zerg could still play without em. I'm not sure if the situation with SH is exactly the same, but simply removing it is perhaps the fix in mind. But with the meta so SH dominated(not quite sure tho, haven't cathed all too much of the latest esports) it could probably spawn some issues. So then follows the question; what could be done instead? While blords and infestors are still around, they are not ruining the game quite as much as they used to do. So how could blizzard recreate this elimination of injustice?
Now this is something quite complicated and the majority of us probably don't want them to rush to some random solution, but they can't of course wait too long either. And who knows if they even have ackowledged the problem yet, although with Naniwa's break it should definately reach their ears.
So, in the end I think Naniwa is right with that it'll take some time

I always hated his constant childish bitching a fighting and his seeming lack of concern for his image as a professional player, but this is bad for the foreign scene. I wonder what will happen with IEM WC, is he still going to play?

Well thats good, atleast.
All IEM needs is a foreign star dropping out before the event even starts, especially with the whole 100k to first place risk...

So only robot Koreans and mainstream foreigners are left in Starcraft sadly.

No person with personality is left now. Maybe MC, Jeadong or Parting can be called personalitys now.
But they are so different. MC is just a troll.

So just because they can't speak proper english you don't consider them personalities? Pretty thick man.

I understand perfectly how sports contracts work. I can't abide these spoiled brats who sign for millions and coast along with minimal effort. Even if injured a player should NOT be paid IMO, all the more motivation for them to rehab and get back in shape.

But Nani doesn't have an injury excuse. He's just raking in his teams money. No streaming, likely to get bounced in first round of IEM. I'm sure his team feels as though they've gotten their moneys worth. /sarcasm


This is the most retarded writing I can remember reading in quite some time. If injured sports players didn't get payed, the result would not be "more motivation for them to rehab."

Instead you'd see far more boring sporting events, because everyone would be trying not to get injured instead of play their hardest. Jadeveon Clowney, arguably the best college football player we have seen in awhile, had a monster season two years ago. His statistics this past season dropped considerably, and many people think one of the reasons for that is he kept himself from going 100% to avoid injury and jeopardize his first NFL payday.

See the NFL Pro Bowl (or don't cuz it's unbearably boring), that is what a field full of players who have nothing to gain by doing anything other than avoiding injury looks like.

Also, see Adrian Peterson and Robert Griffin III of the NFL, who, despite still getting paid while they had torn ACLs, worked their asses off to return to the game in unprecedented time (a matter of months when usually that type of injury requires a year or more).

The vast majority of professional sports players aren't even topping a million dollars a year, though the superstars might get upwards of 20. And there isn't a single professional athlete, millionaire or not, who is "coasting along with minimal effort." First of all, you can't develop and maintain a body to compete at that level while "coasting." Then you have to consider the amount of time spent on the mental aspects, learning the intricacies of your game, studying your opponents' tendencies...I think you just have no idea what you're talking about.
