He is a person. A complicated one. He has given too much to the community already (or the community has taken it?) Enjoy your break. | ||

I think its <1% that Naniwa planned for this to happen, I think, deep down, he knew he couldn't beat Polt and he found a quick way out. When was the bracket release? When Naniwa drew Polt.... thats when, subconsciously, he started looking for a way out. His behaviour then manifested his "way out". The proxy in the first game is also an indicator of wanting to quit and get it over quick. Naniwa knows winning is the only thing keeping him in SC2, and he wants out. Yup. That's a good analysis. Yet people will hate him because it fits them. Naniwa is egocentric and the crowd is egocentric. Real world is not beautiful. | ||

Anyway, I will copy what I wrote before to answer the second part of your message: Naniwa 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? Yeah he has rights to do whatever he wants, does not mean people have to like it. If he came in today, not prepared to win, to even try to win, then why even come today? He has said that he hasn't been playing lately, so why even come to the IEM World Championship unprepared? Forfeit that spot even though he earned that spot at IEM New York. His accomplishments do not matter. What he has done in the past for SC2 does not matter other than the fact that he qualified for this event through IEM New York. He doesn't owe anyone anything, but he just wasted everyone's time. He disappointed a lot of the fans that came to see him and the ones who were excited to see the best foreigner play against one of the best Koreans. Naniwa does deserve the boos that he got at the venue. While he has had a great career in SC2, it's unfortunate that this had to happen. Especially considering that this may be the end of his career. | ||

Like it or not, people desperately want to see him above anyone else, him going away is a big loss for SC2. Yes, but really many root for him mostly because he's been one of the best foreigners. His personal has always been secondary to the fact that he has some big wins and was a threat to top Koreans. If Naniwa leaves, it creates a space for a new foreign hope. .... but ya, some foreigner will need to keep up. Nani was literally only non KR in IEM bracket. | ||

I was willing to look past much of the stuff Naniwa pulled because his mindset and singular devotion to becoming a champion was inspiring, but there is a limit to what I can shrug off. Naniwa may not give much of a shit about sportsmanship (although he on several occasions claimed that he had learned to), but I do. I do not have to think like Naniwa to be a fan of him. no, i can not decide if you were a fan of naniwa or not. in my opinion "beeing a true fan" just means more than "i liked his playstyle / skill / effort". | ||

Alternatively, Polt could have proxied and Naniwa would have been alerted - my point is that the conditions were still fair. Naniwa greatly disrespects the foreign community and his Korean competitors with his arrogance. Imho, GTFO Naniwa. Wasn't a soundproofing issue. Polt scouts that way frequently. | ||

1) Players have a right to forfeit. 2) All players are competing under the same circumstances - the same environment. 3) Nani has lost the little face he had left but found a substantial beergut to compensate. 4) Making a mountain out of a molehill is never wise. 5) When in doubt blame others for your own failings. 6) If a black sheep bleats in a lonely paddock and no one hears him, does he exist? 7) IEM Katowice and HoTS are super!!! | ||

I don't blame soundproofing for him losing a game to polt with a completely amateur strategy and execution, and I really do hope we don't see any more Naniwa. He just does not seem happy to be part of the community or really care if he gets a chance to play on stage. Starcraft 2 isn't in a place where we can support obnoxious bad boys anymore. | ||
