If what you want out of an esport is players acting like babies and quitting when it gets to hard for them mid-match, then that's your prerogative. Some of us want to watch matches between players who actually want to play the game.

no its really not. talks about balance and naniwa's complaints on it. Then it was posted that if he doesn't have the passion to play, then don't play. Then you bring up that he qualified fairly and has the right to do whatever.
No one questioned the fairness of his qualification. You are the only one that brought his qualification up...

And thats higher than what IEM usually gets on a Friday? Yeah i think its ok. It will hit over 100k this weekend.
Well it certainly will now...the more controversial something is the more likely people are going to tune in and even if it already is over and done with that event has created controversy.

That has nothing to do with the fairness of his qualification! Holy shit. He said don't play IEM if you are just gonna show up and cheese and quit after losing the first game. Thats what that means. Not, you didn't qualify fairly! My god.

You realize that you are the source of this whole argument right?
By answering my comment that with it is right but it doesn't make it right you started the whole thing that it necessarily didn't mean that he qualified or earned his spot there rightfully so?

What? I never questioned his right to play the tournament. I just stated that it would be fair/moraly right to forfeit his spot if he never intented to take it serious.

except you are interpreting things that aren't there... I said sure, Naniwa is allowed to do that, but he's an ass for doing it and it wasted the spot. Not once was his qualification even brought up, let alone questioned until you mentioned it... Thats just not part of what I or anyone else said.

But if anything the viewership has stabilised and is even on the rise a little bit. The game right now is as good as it ever has been. Not sure what is supposed to be wrong with this community and you certainly haven't elaborated that point.

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? 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. Yeah except we know that Nani has it wrong. Not one other player has complained and everyone asked at the tournament has said it's not an issue. Every time sound proofing actually is an issue the players complain straight away. Both your posts come off as blindly trying to defend Naniwa when there is no need. Naniwa doesn't owe the community anything and i have no problem with him leaving but his actions at this tournament deserve criticism. Frankly he has all but disappeared from the scene anyway and it has hardly missed him. Good luck to him in his future endeavors. The game is as good as it's ever been? 40k viewers for one of the biggest tourneys of the year? Multiple progamers complaining about the same imbalanced units? The community asking the dev team to try to re-work major components of the game? You avin a giggle m8yroo? I'm sure they aren't boring people but it's how the majority come across to people - you don't see any of them having the same kind of story lines/drama/whatever as you do with NA players. Sure some of the attention that the NA players bring is not in a positive light, but it's still better than nothing and if you don't undertsand that point then I guess I'm barking at the wrong tree here.
First of all when i said the game is as good as it's ever been i was talking about the quality of the matches. As for the viewers what does IEM normally get for its early rounds? Overall viewership has stabilised and is starting to rise a little bit, i clearly wasn't referring to just this tournament.
People have been asking the dev team to rework major parts of the game since before the game even released. How is that supposed to show specifically that the game is worse now than ever?
As to your last point there is a difference between calling them boring people and saying they don't bring in the viewers. Foreigners bring more viewers because everyone wants to see someone besides Koreans do well, not necessarily because they're more interesting people.

Ok Naniwa might be a whining bitch true, he has been this way at times and this is not new. But to everyone complaining about him having a spot, thinking he cheesed his way into it etc come on! Naniwa has consistently been one of the best foreigners in SC2 and have TONS of legit wins against top koreans, the only one that's had more success against Koreans is Stephano, who can ever dispute this?, claiming otherwise is stupid and only goes to shos your own lack of objectivity. Should he have offered his spot to someone else? Probably yes, but it was his right to try.
