Polt always scouts... Nani lost to himself 
|
I'm not even a Naniwa fan but I feel bad for him. Look at this mess over the past couple of days - I hope someone from Alliance at least attempted to reach out to him.
|
As the only guy to represent the foreign players in this tournament, he sure knows how to send out an image.
I would rather not have him around.
|
Wonder if blizzard will do something about this or just let it go
|
Can't say I'm sad to see Naniwa go, this is such a childish move and completely unprofessional. How old is Naniwa in real life?
|
I dont get these exaggerated reactions. Sure he acted somehow pussy-like, but he wasnt rude or something, it was his good right to forfeit his match.
He should do something he likes in his life. Atm he has this incredible negative attitude and vibe. Give your life another direction, do something you like and witch makes you happy.

Goodbye nani. Its been real watching you make an ass of yourself.

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.
Now that Naniwa is gone, the only people you'll be supporting are Koreans. You literally won't see another foreigner in a big tournament anymore.

Well he sure knows how to go out with a bang.

The way he went about it was inappropriate, but if he could hear the crowd then he has a legitimate reason to be upset if then also the admin wouldn't hear his side of it. Well...what did he do that was inappropriate then? Leaving a tourny that has no legitimacy is the correct call, as is arguing with the admin about the problems. Mentioning it on live isnt really that much of an issue either, because it at the very least ensures the crowd knows exactly whats going on, right away. It's also obviously him venting in frustration, which is again fair, if his claim is true.

god, the only guy who can make something up about why he lost and people actually believe it. -_-

Yes, but he knew he had lost interest going into the tournament. I'm a die hard Naniwa fan, but if the guy doesn't want to play, then don't fucking play. But don't show up and do this shit. Should have left the spot to Hasuobs if he wasn't even going to try.

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. You don't decide whether or not I am or was a fan of someone, nor do you get to decide who is a "true fan" and who isn't. 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".
So what does it mean to be a fan, exactly?

Nani....keeping it real. Lol, lost a lot of respect for him. But all is well, we still ahve Polt

Did Scarlett die or something?!
Also, the people we cheered for in BW were all Korean, and that never mattered to anyone.
Yes, foreigners did compete, and Guillaume won the first OSL, but foreigners simply could not compete at that level (or chose not to) for the vast majority of BW's professional lifetime. (BW isn't dead to me, as long as we have people like Sonic, and Sayle!)
Seriously, the last time a non-korean played in Proleague was like, 2004. That did not matter.

Soundproofing issues or not he's a quitter and super egocentric. He could have easily forfeited his invitation to IEM prior to the event and allowed someone else to fill in his spot. I don't buy the shit about "well he earned his right to be in the tournament so he can do whatever he wants". Give me a f**king break. It should be an honor to play in an event on a scale as large as this and if you are going into the tournament with piss poor shit attitude then he should have never attended to begin with.

Geeeez teenliquid -_-
Sad Naniwa couldn't get through his issues. He was the only foreigner I ever felt had the capability to beat or dominate any player when he was on his A game. He pioneered many strategies, made wins out of absolute losses (often after completely wasting an army or something), and was really something special. He always stood out and above a player like stephano for me, no matter what the balance issues were, when his A game was up he was amazing.
Sad his childishness plagued his career, but I feel a lot of foreign pros sacrifice a lot of growing up, getting caught up in the game, practicing, and the attention that comes with it.
Anyways, he has plenty of time to try to grow up now if he feels like it, and he showed a lot of great games.
also: inb4 hearthstone transition XD

shouldn't have done it. with that said, i understand the frustration.

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! No, I don't think it was a good reaction, cause it just gave too much attention to Naniwa ATM. 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? I agree it was Naniwa's right to keep the spot, no doubt. 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.
Fairly certain that this all started before the release of brackets.

Duh you have to scream "Naniwa kun please notice meeee" in a tsundere voice in hope you grab his attention. Then hide your face if he sees you, update your status on facebook that he might like you.
