It's nice to see the people who don't even like the game leaving IMO. This was like the hero vs. villain match, Polt is always smiling and has good manner even when losing. Naniwa has always been rude an ungrateful. This is a fitting end for his SC2 career. It's pure karma pay back that his rage quit gave the nice guy a free win.

Different and you know it.

Also Stephano seems to be joking here.

If he put his building a little more out of the way polt wouldn't have seen it... he just barely saw the edge.

Never was a fan of Naniwa, but he was one of the better foreigners. Unfortunately for everyone will only remember him for pulling these punk moves. Pretty much wastes his whole time as a programer if all he is remembered by is being a punk.

Stephano sounds like a punk there too. No need to kick a guy while he is down

I'm just so devastated that at least for a little while until he inevitably decides to once again grace tournaments with his presence, we're not going to have to sit and wait 30 minutes in the middle of a bo3 because Naniwa's computer was the only one that was lagging, or there was something wrong with the map that made him unhappy after the game began, or the booth was uncomfortable, had sound-proofing issues or some other unbearable defect that only and only he noticed, or because JYP touched him, or because someone looked at him funny in the restroom 10 minutes ago.

I don't know if the SC2 scene can survive his absence.

Is the a VOD of the winners interview with Polt that followed this? Interested to hear if he can vouch for the sound thing or if it was just a good scout.

pretty sure Polt would have scouted that way regardless, the crowd wasn't the reason he found the gate. still, that doesn't mean that naniwa's complaint wasn't legit. did polt win because crowd noise? absolutely not. was naniwa right to whine about the booths? who knows, any of the players that were in those booths today could tell us.

Yeah I absolutely agree it's not possible to say he wouldn't have scouted it otherwise unless he honestly wasn't going to and did get a hint from the crowd. You can't take anything away from Polt in this scenario.

It definitely wasn't respectful and sportsmanlike for Naniwa to instantly assume Polt only scouted it because of something he thinks happened though. He has no way of knowing if that was the case at all and even if he did somehow know for sure, it's pretty bad manner to type a cheeky comment like that. It wasn't necessary at all.

This is why i'm not sad about him retiring.

A career filled with drama, controversy and disappointment ends in a series filled with drama, controversy and disappointment. How fitting.

Pretty much a microcosm of Naniwa's whole career. Pretty hilarious incident and a reminder that he is not really someone who should be missed at this point.

But... I loved hating him...

It can't be the end!

I still love how utterly creepy and stone cold he was in the MLG he won a few years back. What a wonderful villain.

If the players could indeed hear the crowd, I think he has a point. Might not been a good way to deal with it, but still. I wouldn't like to play in that situation.

He must have known about the soundproofing issue before he started the 2-gate rush (probably before the game even started). This means that he chose to use a strat that would be unlikely to work for a known reason, but he did it anyway. My guess is that he went through with it because he wanted a way to justify his loss with an outside factor (to himself or fans), or he just felt like complaining about something.

If he didn't practice at all in the last month, there was no way he was winning the series no matter what, this way was quick and he could at least pretend that it was someone elses fault.

So it has been 22 pages and nobody came to check the soundproofing issue ?

It really is the corner of the problem there.


As for Naniwa, while he clearly was a good(great?) player, that kind of behaviour just never pays off for me. It's pointless to be this good and this jerky.

None of the other pros complaining and laughing at him is probably a good sign that there's no issue.

Difficult to tell if he is a genuine arse or just an unhappy kid. I hope he will continue playing though as he is one of the best foreigner out there.


Why are the two mutually exclusive? He's been a genuine arse the entire time he's been on the scene, even if he is unhappy now that doesn't really excuse past or current behavior.

I meant as a light or even more serious depression that has probably gone on for a long time. He's had this awkward, "me against the world" and negative view on everything for a long time. I think he needs help, not a crucifixion.

I predicted Naniwa to no show yesterday or to just cheese to get out quickly, but haha this is even better
