lol. I hope people use the sound of the crowd booing in spoof-videos from now on. Like when someone wins the tourney, they can overlay the audio from that video on top (if it's a protoss ;D)

I'll say this.

I've been a fan of Naniwa for three straight years, ever since he won that MLG going undefeated and not losing a single map until the final. There's no doubt that he, along with Stephano, have been the best foreigners over that period. He's been the only foreigner at several events. He was the only one qualifying for Blizzcon, albeit barely. He was the only one qualifying for this IEM. Nani made it clear very early that he wasn't here for the fans or the audience. He was here because he wanted to be the best. He did all of this for himself, not for you or for me. Let me say it again. HE MADE IT CLEAR VERY EARLY IN HIS CAREER. Now that he's probably retiring, everyone jumps on him and insults him, calls him a kid for being selfish. Did you guys start watching SC2 in 2014?

This wasn't a nice way of going out, but it was the nani-way. Also, about the soundproofing. Impossible to know if it had anything to do with what Polt did in the game, but clearly Naniwa heard the crowd/casters and assumed Polt could too.

Goodbye Naniwa, good luck.


Started watching SC2 during the beta.

Watched Broodwar before that. Never watched War3, so Naniwa didn't exist to me until SC2.

Trust me, the crowd had NOTHING to do with Polt finding his proxy. Usually, it is the player whose proxy is discovered who realizes "Oh fuck, I've been scouted. Do I reveal that I know, and try another strategy, or do I try and make the strategy work as if I didn't know I was scouted?" That is how it's done. Crowd sounds don't command your SCVs to find enemy buildings. They respond to events: Building is discovered - crowd goes wild.


Very true. good pros scout regardless of what the crowd shouts. Good point

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.


Because its a non issue.
Naniwa used that soundproof thing as a cheap excuse to not play...

Watch the vod, you can see Polt scout before there were any cheering or anything,Even with perfect soundproof he would have scoutet it.

Then Kennigit did a twitter post, where he asked other players and the LoL dudes, they all said they had no issues.

It looks like Polt saw the probe moving close to his ramp and then he scouted.

While I don't condone Nani's way of going about this, I really think people need to chill a little. None of you know him personally or what he might be going through. Just let bygones be bygones. I'm sure he already feels like he's being punished one way or another.

NaNiwa has such a great history of being vocal about ESL's setups this is such a great ending.

I can't do anything but shrug. Never was to interested in the drama sorounding Naniwa or Sc2 in general. He seems a bit troubled and I can't imagin acting like this helped him. Should have forfeited his spot to someone who wanted to play. Seems like a stunt, unless he was the only player at the tournament ahving issues with it.

Yeah holy pot-kettle syndrome. What Naniwa did was scummy- and not the first bad thing he's done- but Stephano isn't exactly the paragon of virtue LOL.

except he already has a reputation for BM and poor professionalism. The soundproofing excuse is a weak one because other players would've also said something about it if there was a problem. If he never wanted to be there in the first place, he should've forfeited his spot before the tournament started. What he did was just plain selfish.

We have multiple brackets generated in advance. Relax . (Kennigit) I just simply do not understand how it can be the time to play can be 22nd at 9:30 pm PST / midnight the 23rd at the same time. (GGzerg)
