The crowd reacting to the proxy wouldn't tell Polt exactly where the proxy is. Usually the crowd reacts as the scouting worker FINDS the proxy. Plus I'm pretty sure that Polt knew Naniwa hadn't played any games recently and was just being safe. Either that, or that's his normal scouting pattern.

Naniwa just picked the best excuse available, and went out like a total disgrace. I'm sorry. His defenders can suck it. So many pro gamers would kill for that spot.

So I actually didn't even see the beginning of the game. Polt's scouting SCV is shift queue'd straight from his depot to his natural, probably to build a CC. There is no fucking way you can expect me to believe he reacted to the crowd.

Polt scouts that way almost every game anyways, if you go look at some of his other recent tournament games, he scouts there the vast majority of the time.

Yeah... hell, if you look at when Polt built his Depo, there's a chance that he saw the probe then! Naniwa did walk awfully close to the ramp. Then saw the probe never went in.

Naniwa - Started his career by playing pretty good, whining like a bitch, trying to earn redemption. Ended his career 4 years later the exact same way, minus the playing pretty good in the last moments. I guess if that's what you want in a pro player, that's nice... but some people assume that people who are 24 will not act 14.

I can't tell you not to miss him. But this exit certainly can make me wonder why on earth you would. If you want that in a pro, sign me up for a contract and I can cry and proxy every tournament you send me to.

NaNiwa maybe has done his last shitstorm but at least he didn't offend his fans.

If you are going to wail on an athlete being selfish, then read up on some boxer and footballer bios, it's this attitude that enables them to perform, with the nice guys being the rare exceptions. Being an unsportsmanlike PoS is a whole different matter. I already noticed something was off about him when he walked out, went straight to his booth, not even looking at Polt even though he must have known there were still map vetos to do and the IEM had to repeatedly gesture him to come back out. He showed no sign of determination, even the placement of that gateway was just begging to be scouted. I believe he is in a difficult place mentally because he has to let go of 3-4 years of his life without having attained the success he aimed for when setting out not to mention the majority of the community treating him like filth.

Considering his fans love him even if (and worse BECAUSE) he insults anybody for no reason ("a true personality" right ?), yeah...i guess he didn't offend his fans....and then?

Since it is Naniwa, I wouldn't even be sure he wanted it to end like this. Like his proxy is so ridiculously close and the pylon may even be visible just from the edge of the main base. And the comment sounded pretty prepared, given that Polt did not scout it fast after "the crowd revealed it", but he had no better comment up his sleeve and just went with it.

Since he had no chance to win anyways without practice and since he just wanted to go as a jerk. I mean, 12hours before that he posted about playing LoL instead of training. I think he really wanted to step down with a huge outcry.
Just a theory, but yeah, Naniwa has always wanted to create drama and at least we know now that he took the tiniest possible disturbtion to throw everything. Even if he is right with the soundproofing issue, everyone else would have just gone with a different strategy to begin with.

Well, he did today. Maybe not directly, but I would assume his fans want to see him play? He went there without any interest to play, then decided to insult Pol by not acknowleding his scouting and after he just gave up.

You're acting like this happened randomly and out of the blue, not as a result of his own actions.

Didnt Polt retire Idra too? We need a Polt taking out the trash meme. No, seriously though, I hope the guy comes back for his sake. Could you imagine someone like him trying to make it in regular society? Besides, hes so weird its hilarious. Do you really expect someone as strange as him to act normal? Theres no goddamn way.

Naniwa is so narcistic and selfish. His character brought great attention and very unique drama as well as almost unified hatred from the pro player community (as far as i can tell). I am kind of glad he is out but what a great ride this has been.
