Good riddance. I used to be indifferent to Naniwa despite all the hate he received but now I just don't even like the guy anymore. He's been a total asshat one too many times for me.

Nani realizing he hates what the game has become and is going out the best way he can - by stirring up more drama and re-stating the issue that soundproofing still is not up to standards.

He's very direct and goes about things inappropriately but would he lie about it? I'm not so sure. I think he heard the crowd and figured if he could hear it then Polt would as well.

Is he allowed to forfeit his place for someone else? Serious question.

The typical passive-aggressive Naniwa style.

THE KID IN THE NORTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's unfortunate really. That seed could have gone to the third place finisher of IEM New York. Hell, even a third player could have qualified from the Open Bracket if it really was short notice.

On the one hand, it was a dick move for Naniwa to throw it like this and waste that seed but on the other hand, I agree with everything he's said about the game's design and balance.

Anyone remember Polt's interview at MLG last year? When he said Nani is such a BM player and he deserved the thumbsdown? This was poetic...
