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 not is anyone else complaining. Being highly critical and straight up bashing the whole IEM finals is quite stupid so hold your horses fan boys.


According to Kennigit's tweet, other players are laughing at him.

They should fine him if possible. The game is bigger than any player, and he will soon be forgotten. Good riddance.

I liked Naniwa, i wanted him to be successful, i cheered him on and celebrated his victories

I work a normal job, i have no passion for it, like all the jobs i've had i do it because they hired me and pay me more than anyone else at the moment. Motivation is a constant struggle. When i've had issues in my personal life it has made motivation for my job almost non-existent. When everything is going well motivation is much easier. I get a kick from doing a good job, i get a kick from positive feedback, i get a kick from knowing my work mates appreciate me being there and helping make their day better

If you cant find the motivation to be excellent at something, especially something as awesome as starcraft - to feel the warm fuzzys of having tens of thousands of fans on your twitter, to feel the elation of the roar of the crowd happy to see you succeed...no matter the state of the game if you cant find motivation to be a pro-starcraft player i think its a safe assumption something else is going on behind the scenes

I think some compassion and understand is needed for the dude - i hope he can get his sh!t together and find a way to still pursue excellence in some form

still - just like idra, you dont play the game anymore you are dead to me, unfollowed, wishing Nani the best in the future
Life's too short to be a p***y mate

Get off his case guys. Its naniwa. Seriously surprised?
This is the same reason why so many hate him and so many love him.
Its easy to be and spectator and talk.
Good luck nani. Smile.

How about you read the thread OP, then? Why are you even posting in the thread if you don't know what everyone is complaining about?


Freedom of speech?


You'll excuse me if I discard your opinion as uninformed then.


Man, you ask me a non-serious question, I answer the same

Yeah that's right:D And he also played that infamous game against Idra (Idra left 200/200 vs 200/200)? Or was it TaeJa can't remember..

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.


I don't think Naniwa cares, you know

SC2 is not his thing at the moment.

Naniwa pulled a NASL and quit mid tournament.

SC2 fans are going to develop a complex over all this abandonment.

So long naniwhine - crowned GM of BM. You will not be missed. Don't let the door hit you on the way out! And as for all you foolish fanboys, what say you now...? King of the North? No, I think Queen of the Unemployment line.

Hahaha, it seems that they are already mid-way. I've seen some highly up-voted comments on reddit claiming that "Naniwa may not be mentally health, it may be serious, and we should feel compassion toward him"

Oh gosh... :D

I truly think that even though Naniwa bitches quite often and seems to be a real dick somtimes, we shouldn't threat the only foreigner to perform well, like this. He is a bad loser but a good winner. Sadly we only see one side of the coin.

i really love the reaction of the crowd, naniwa should have vacated the spot a month ago and deserves every amount of spite that now goes his way, no doubt he managed to multiply it once again!

If Naniwa would have shown some effort he would have gotten the same treatment.
This crowd is fair and Naniwa is a pubescent, whiner.

That is the last thing I'll say about Naniwa's action at this tournament.
Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not. 파이팅! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ"

If it's true Naniwa said he took the spot to take advantage of the hotel, that's pretty dishonest. He's shown quite a bit of disregard for fans/his fans. I don't know why people are defending him. That's not to say he's unforgivable--that goes too far, but right now, he's wronged the audience and there's no point making excuses.


I don't understand people like you. You think that you deserve something, because of what exactly? Because you seat in the front of computer watching? Who are you?

Naniwa earned whatever he had. He wanted to win and only to win. There is only one God in tournaments like that. It's the competition. Naniwa was giving all to the competition. What the hell gave you???


He certainly gave his all today.


Your memory is one-day long or what?

Pathetic crybabies in the audience need to eat today, so they will trash whoever doesn't deliver them food. It's hilarious to see people hoarding like sheep.


From one fan to another, are you actually defending Naniwa's actions today (or the last week)?


He has rights to do whatever he likes and I'm laughing at everybody who thinks differently. That's because he earned what he had. You guys earned nothing.

I don't know what happened today or in the last month with Naniwa, but I'm definitively not going to jump on the same wagon as all the people who are so fast to judge Naniwa and to take away his spot from IEM and his contributions to SC2 competitions. What the heck? If the audience is so important then why they don't choose the players for the tournaments themselves? Guys, listen to yourself. Do you hear the ridiculousness?


I was a fan until last week because of the contributions you talk about. He's played stunningly awesome games against a wide array of top opponents and made me scream and shout and jump with glee, but I can't support the kind of unsportsmanlike bullshit Naniwa pulled today. That makes me really sad, but it's how I - and a lot of others - feel. Naniwa is not above criticism because he has done well in the past.


wtf... you never, never, NEVER were a fan of naniwa. every true fan knows, that naniwa does not give any stinking shit about "sportsmanship" or stuff like that.
