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 Spoiled brat? Wow. He has been the top foreigner for a long time, and has shown a lot of dedication. Just because he is taking a break doesn't undo all the hard work he has done. Also, saying an injured player shouldn't get paid is completely asinine. People have to pay bills, dude. | ||

As far as I understood he more or less dropped everything to pursue gaming. Fortunately for us Swedes, the doors don't really close even if you don't attend high school. I imagine if Naniwa wants to, he'll be more than capable of getting an education. | ||

Some people do, yes. On the other hand, we don't have any numbers to work with because nobody releases such information. How "big" is esports actually? | ||

Well, even in the sports world, players just taking time off for non-injury reasons are generally not accepted. Lamar Odom's weird stint with the Dallas Mavericks being a prime example with people trashing him left and right. To a lesser extend Royce White's conflicts over his mental issues weren't accepted either. Oh, I remember the flareup over Barry Sanders retiring too. He was still under contract and still a great player with no injury concerns. People just couldn't accept that being on a crappy team just wore on him so much that he'd rather quit than stay with the Lions lol. Then again, if Naniwa's not even on a team at the moment (I'm not up to date), then he's free to not join a team and not play. That's pretty common in the sports world (bunch of players never even bother announcing a retirement when they can't find a new team). | ||

People who are injured while at work, aka, whole playing sports, should get paid. Anything less is not ok. Do you think people will play harder if they know if they get injured they won't get a dime? Why would they risk that? You might want to think a little more before you type stuff like that. | ||

He only wanted to be the best and show his fans what they deserve. And when he failed, he was coming back stronger. And imagine this session of streaming if he gets to play 5 hours of swarm host turtling? Hell, i bet, he will leave the game instead of wasting time of viewers and himself. And that's worst feeling in game, when you know how to deal with it, but you just don't want to. | ||
