Naniwa is one of the most important players in the starcraft scene.


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




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.


Did you even watch Polt's interview? He was very gracious and respectful about the whole situation.

Meh, Naniwa is just a drama queen. I think you are giving him too much atention. He was not prepared for the tournament, he doesn't like playing outside of Korea and has no motivation at all... As soon as he realized that Polt will just crush him, he decided to leave in "style". Just ignore him and focus on the important people... You know, the actual competitors.

given naniwas personality and his history of bm and going on tilt, something like this was in the air after he announced his departure from sc2...

he really should have given his spot to someone else. like.. what was the point of even going to the event? he hadnt practiced for weeks and so had no hopes whatsoever to win any money, he would just leave on a bad note and he would rob fans off of a series. and he would steal the chance of being there from someone else who might actually WANT to be there... so yeah, i really dont get it.

You cant blame him for taking the spot, he earned it. Maybe he thought he would get some motivation by playing on a big stage. Forfeiting and whining leaves a sour taste though.. I can understand him not wanting to play when he knows he is gonna play like shit but then you just suck it up and get it over with, you don't come up with some bullshit excuse and leave.
Hopefully for him he learned something from this..
Maybe it is because I am(was?) a Naniwa fan but the booing seemed like kicking a man when he is down...
If he ever comes back I will still hope he does good, if not I wish him the best luck in whatever he is gonna do.
I would rather eat than see my children starve.

id imagine he dont give a fuck. like when u confront a stranger on what theyre doing wrong, instead of apologizing or acknowledging, the usual reply is "i dont give a fuck/not your business"

Oh for fucks sake. Polt was the epitome of class in his post match interview having to deal with that stupid situation, not to mention the fact that Naniwa basically just called him a cheater. Plus I don't know of a single example of Polt that backs up your assertion. Polt is a classy guy and a great player.

So proxy gate twice and exit with some dignity. Would take like 15 mins with the break included.

Well Naniwa has never been one to just grit his teeth and try to play a game out, even with a strategy like proxy gates. Blizzard Cup 2011 never 4get

I remember Flash vs Naniwa MLG game 7 when naniwa missed the proxies and then the crowd cheered and his probe legit went back a few steps and found the proxy (it made no sense at all...)

Also, in the Code S game where Naniwa faced MVP and MVP was going 2 rax, his build was going to be a greedy expand, but he somehow sensed out that 2 rax. EDIT: P.S in that LR thread, Tod (I think) was confused and went on the forums if he heard the crowd or something. No one cared because he lost so it was irrelevant.

Admittedly, the second one I'm less sure about, but Naniwa has definitely had benefits to sound-issues, he could have easily brought it up at those times instead, but bringing it up when you lose when you've clearly used it yourself is just plain wrong.
Byun, best player in the world!

idra, stephano and now naniwa - all within a year. I honestly believe that these three things are what took so much air out of sails.

No he should never have went and forfeited. He hadn't played in over a month (he said so) so he should have done the good thing and not go at all and have a replacement for him. What he did was stupid. If you have no intention of playing matches why the fuck would you go? If you know you aren't going to do good or even make it past the first round and aren't even practicing then don't go at all.

Not even you can defend this.
When I think of something else, something will go here
