This thread has fairly attracted some fucking bullshit, some of the most ridiculous posts I have ever seen.

'Do your job Nani, get off your lazy ass' - Directed at a player famous for grinding and grinding and practicing his ass off. Retarded.

Best of luck to Nani, if he can recover his passion and return that'd be great, if not well he's given a hell of a lot of excitement to many people, from his fans to those who rally against him it adds interest to the business end of tournaments he's played in.

Eh, they actually practiced together a bit, and there was no real beef between them. If anything, this just puts more pressure on those slender canadian shoulders.

Two ro8 in the hardest version of Code Se and imo the undisputed foreigner hope...

Time for some dramatic conclusions I guess:

RIP sc2 since nobody will care now that there is nobody (non-korean) fighting at Naniwa's level or even close...

GG blizz and yeah..... Let's all just watch Rollplay instead I guess.

. . . .

What a stupid generalization wrapped inside a stupid post. Seriously don't ever try to make "dramatic conclusions" again you are REALLY bad at it.

This thread is equal parts "I don't even care good riddance" and "Wow SC2 is stupid now I'm not even going to watch anymore now that he's gone."

Your post is a good response to both I feel.

True that, Naniwa is something of a beacon to fanboys and those who dislike him alike, they'll see it from miles away and come to make their sacred pilgrimage

He was a fantastic player and deserves respect for that at least. One of the very few that could go toe to toe with the Koreans.

Never mind the fact that he got rolled in his WCS Europe Ro32 group. It's laughable that he blames Blizzard when Protoss are doing the best of all the races right now, and also because he's made so much money off their game. If you don't want to play the game, don't play it. You don't have to whine about it like some girl whose prom date just left her.

He was barely prepared for that group and he's not whining about balance. The main problem is he's getting bogged down in long SH games and it isn't fun. Even watching those games drains my passion. I can't imagine laddering as much as he does and having to face that shit for hours a day.

Did Naniwa say WHY he doesnt like the game anymore ? Was it just swarmhosts as I know he has complained about them (as have many others) ?

I get that he did not prepare for WCS, I readily admit he is better than what he showed there. But if that is the case, I don't want to see him take up a spot at Katowice. Give it to someone who is truly there to go balls to the wall and try to win.

And also about Swarm Hosts, really now, immortal all ins have been around since 2010, haven't seen any zerg retire because of them. If it's just not liking the game in general and having no reason to believe Blizzard are willing to reconsider certain aspects, I completely understand and echo that sentiment.

There go the foreigner hope

I'm supper sad about it, but on the other hand it's better to choose this way then slowly burn out like other foreigner stars.

I just hope that Nani coming to Katowice with no stress to perform good will allow him do actually do good.
Go Nani!


WHOA WHOA WHOA.

You can't compare the two because the stressful part of an immortal all in doesn't take 30+ grueling minutes.

Never really liked the guy, or the idea that "the last foreigner has gone from a tournament, noone cares about it anymore"

But hey - this news sucks for his fans and those who believed in point #2 above.

I hope he enjoys whatever he chooses to do with his time other than SC2.
