I know, I think it was deserved, but just imagine how hard it could be to endure it.

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


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.

Well yes the optimal solution would have been to have someone else entirely there, but since Nani went he might as well play out two more halfhearted games as a show of respect and appreciation to the organizers.

You cant blame him for taking the spot, he earned it. Maybe he thought he would get some motivatioeiting 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.


"But the booing seemed like a man when he is down".

If saying the truth (ie Ninawa is the pledge of esport) is booing someone like a man whe he's down, then yes, i'm guilty as charge. And I feel no shame if it's about Ninawa.

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"


No, people who pull amateur shit like this are already on tilt and definitely give a fuck. He most certainly cares, otherwise he wouldn't have quit in the middle of a match.

I also don't think it matters how "hard" it is to hear boos. He made his bed, he has to lie in it.

He's just upset at the state of the game right now (swarm hosts for example), that is the reason. not his fault, and he's not the only one who thinks the game is in a bad place right now

He's 100% correct though - casters/people act like Nani has something to prove to them and has some obligation. He's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. People give him shit yet ironically enough stop watching tournaments once he's been eliminated because they're already bored.

The scene (call it dead if you want, w/e) is slowly losing the players that help make it interesting and bringing people back. As cool as it is to see Koreans play well, they're (for the most part) pretty boring people who don't bring in stream numbers. Hope to see Nani back in the future but I don't blame him if he leaves, who would honestly still want to play given the current situation of the game and how odd the community is?

I havent liked naniwa at times but really thats bullshit. How do events still occur with no soundproofing? How dont tournament organizers understand just how important this is?

Oh come on. He didn't leave the game and forfeit the series because he thinks swarmhosts are imbalanced. And what is this obsession with the idea that Naniwa is what makes the scene interesting. I can't stand it. I just really can not fathom how people continue to defend him after this. And lol at him calling the community disgusting. I just don't know what he expects when he pulls shit like this. Apparently a standing ovation.

Not a single other player has complained. Which pretty much sounds like any other tournament Naniwa attends

ReDeYe and Kennigit checked the soundproofing, and none of the other players had any issues (someone tweeted that the players were even laughing about the complaint because it was absurd).

It sounds like a fishy situation as per anything related to Nani - he claims Polt could hear the casters as well, but I'm assuming neither Polt nor anyone else came forward and wanted to complain about it.

Maybe Nani has it wrong? Who knows. But if they could hear casters and no one wanted to come forward and just act like everything is OK then we have a problem here boys and girls.

All of you guys are saying you don't give a shit about him and that he's bad for the scene.
Thread is at 27 pages and clearly he's interesting enough for you to post about him and share your opinion.
Throughout his career he created a ton of things for us to talk about and discuss.

Yeah, those Swarm Hosts really ruined his scouted proxy cheese vs T.
