Sooo sad that one of the greatest sc2 players are so close to leave this game. I feel that this is one of the heavier blows to sc2. I really, really hope that he takes some time off and then finds inspiration again.
Naniwa is one of the most important players in the starcraft scene. He is always reaching for the top.
If you do not come back to this scene. I would like to thank you. You are one of the few people how made the scene interesting. Thank you NANIWA!

i believe he's just trolling, ignore him.
@On topic
still a little shock that a pro that's about to reitre to end his career like that. You would think that a pro would at least give it his best shot and end his run on a high note. Or if he knew he was going lose he would give the spot to someone else or tell IEM he thinks he cannot play at his best and give his seed to someone else who can at least give good games.
But if naniwaii wants to end his run like this i guess that just says what kind of person he is. but we all know he'll come back but the chances of someone picking him up just got harder than it already was.
btw does anyone know what hel'll do next, but i don't think naniwai is in school i believe he dropped out? or never went? i'm not sure hopefully someone can clearify it.

It was here where he said Naniwa is the foreigner hope the scene needs, not the one it deserves. 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. You're acting like this happened randomly and out of the blue, not as a result of his own actions. He got most of the shit from people who feel too fucking entitled. Just take a look at that.

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.

I don't think it was worth the boos honestly. Edit: I do think however that it would have been preferable for Naniwa and the audience to just forfeit before coming to the event, and not mid-series. He hadn't practiced for like a month, it was no use trying to find excuses in poor soundproof or whatever, when you've already given up on the game a month ago.

Didnt Polt retire Idra too? We need a Polt taking out the trash meme. There ya go:

Disclaimer: I don't think either of these players were thrash. They were at the top of the foreigner food chain in their respective times and should be respected as contenders for that.

LOL. I'm so disappointed, I feel like an idiot for having cheered for Naniwa...

If he tries to use the strange thing on top of his body, just in the middle of his shulders, he could make something great.
The problem is since july 2010, except wining some games, he didn't show any social skill except his exceptional capacity to pull hate.

DAT Polt meme! LOLLLL
In a more serious note, normaly I wish good luck to all players who retire, but not this time. NaNiwa atitude was SO childish and retarded that can't even be called unprofessional. Is just a shame, pure and simple.
A person with this kind of behavior won't go far in life, whatever he chooses to do. So, my good luck wishes would be not just false, but also a waste of words.

What are you talking about? He is one of the most retarded Players in sc2!!! not more not less! For nearly 4 years he is just a stupid egoistic child that cries every time when he´s losing. wäää wäää wäää the pc is crap...wääää wäää wäää i can hear the crowd wäää wäää wäää
User was warned for this post

EVERYBODY LOOK AT NANIWA!
|
I had a feeling something controversial with Naniwa was about to happen. His twitters, recent news etc it just felt like its all a perfect build up to something like this. If it really wasnt that well sound proofed though, then he had a legitimate reason to be pissed, still, not playing out the series is just being a little biznitch
|
That little laugh and shrug from Polt at the start of the interview after he was congratulated and his expression after it was over said it all about how he felt about that match.

Need more moderation in this thread. You ignorant people do realize Nani does have a legit mental condition and disorder correct? Which is why he seems like a jerk, he's not, he's very direct and hardly ever lies. Reading team liquid these days sometimes disgusts me more than people on reddit. Getting a little annoyed seeing Polt constantly trash on people just for some crowed laughs. IdrA/Nani were the best players in their time for the EU/US scene and deserve respect.

Sound proofing??
LCS plays without a sound booth and just headsets. IEM has headsets and sound proof booths.
He knows he couldn't beat Polt. Why would you throw your chances at 100k just because you lost one game??
|
Is it possible that Naniwa was forced to play the tournament due to contract with Alliance? It would explain him looking like he didn't want to be there, and would also explain his comment "at least I'll get to meet some fun people". It's not like him to travel to tournaments he doesn't want to attend (paid for or not), and I honestly don't believe he wanted to play this one.

Now this is really horrible...Come one NaNi

Actually, he kind of does. Johan Lucchesi certainly doesn't, but Naniwa is another matter. Because Naniwa is (used to be?) a professional player, and he can (could?) only exist as such because he entertains an audience. Otherwise, he'd just be a guy being really good at an RTS.

Kinda sad to see him go out on that note, but I guess it is not too surprising, in a way.

Also naniwa acts like a ten year old and you turn it around on Polt?! An extremely well mannered, well liked, and hard working player? What a joke.
