Pretty pathetic that soundproofing isn't something that's been addressed in years.


There is no soundproofing issue. NaNi's trying to stir shit up on his way out, nothing more.


With ESL history of not-so-perfect tournament conditions I would not rule out a sound issue. It would not be the first time players can hear the crowd / casters, especially if it gets realy loud.




Naniwa was in the booth and heard the crowd.

So he says.
If the LoL players aren't having issues, there's no reason sc2 players should have issues.

LoL players are used to playing on open stages with big screens behind them, which at least once resulted in a player cheating. Dont really think their opinion is relevant to be honest.
A game where the first thing you do is scout with a “worker”. Does that make any sense? Who scouts with a “worker”? That’s like sending out the janitor to perform recon, what general would do that? Retarded game.

These "xD"s that he throws around make it all seem so moronic.
I don't particularly like you.

It's hard to tell the exact reasoning but it seems that he has exited the pro scene in a less than ideal way.

NaNiwa is worse than Idra.

no he is not.
Idra wouldn't have GG'd and left without further comment, leaving everybody puzzled

idra would have played the whole series. maybe he would've ragequitted most of the games, but he at least knows what it means to be a proffessional on the most basic level.

No defense of Nani's actions today. He left the SC2 community making sure no one will welcome him back should he ever change his mind.

Bye nani. Your antics aren't funny or endearning. They just waste all of our time. You had some great games and showed some great skill, but I won't miss you now.

He's very direct and goes about things inappropriately but would he lie about it?

Remember that time he blamed his bad performance on PC performance issues, while no one else at the tournament had problems with the same gear? That's just how naniwa is. He's a crybaby.

Haha, really?


Ontopic: Just reading the op, this doesnt seem very positive for Naniwa. I can fully understand his frustration, thinking the cabin isnt soundproof, but i think there are two sides. Suppose the organization guy doesnt agree with him. Would you change the set up of both booths mid-series for a reason you don't agree with? I sure wouldn't. If Naniwa's right, which we don't know (or i dont at least), the organization should take responsibility, whatever consequences that may have. I don't think forfeiting like this is a solution to anything.

If there really were soundproofing problems AND the admin failed to do anything about it, he should've used that to his advantage instead of being an unprofessional crybaby and forfeiting the series.

Lets be rational. We need more data to reach a conclusion there is a sound proof issue. Perhaps an opinion from not biased source aka other players. Nani wrote on twitter day before IEM that he doesnt play the game cause hes burned out. This means he was not properly prepared for the tournament and had no chance winning anything given all koreans play 12 hours a day everyday. He knew he had no chance winning any money in winner takes all tourny. In fact i think he knew very well he had no chance. Now, he has accused other tournaments of sound proof issues which were proven to be false. That throws this claim under the "to be proven box". Given the circumstances I don't believe him and I think he was just looking for a way out. All the fan boys need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. That said, the Katowice Arena is really big and there are a lot of people there. There is a possibility that he heard yelling crowd when the LOL game ended on the stage close by. Who knows, we don't know as there is no conclusive evidence to support his claim neither is anyone else complaining. Being highly critical and straight up bashing the whole IEM finals is quite stupid so hold your horses fan boys.
