How does make him an asshole?

I agree that he went out in a shitty way, but if I were in his stead, I certainly wouldn't give up on my salary for attendance out of charity. He probably made more money this weekend than Hasu makes in a year.

And let's not delude ourselves thinking for a second that Hasuobs would have had any higher chance of taking a map from Polt than an apathetic Naniwa who forfeits after game one.

Just tuned in, but if soundproofing is an issue, that kind of sucks.

Horrible way to stay down though.. what a surprise (not).

I totally understand his falling out (I went through it to!) with SC2; and I'm glad that Naniwa has the balls to act according to his own impulses instead of holding on to something that he hates because others demand or expect it of him.

It's not a good riddance, it's a heartfelt goodbye to someone who is very often misunderstood. And...

Hasu has always been his little buddy anyway. Naniwa makes the decisions in that twosome.

Well I was hoping the no training was a ruse, but expected he would do a grand naniwa exit. But yeah sad ESL didn't let 3 through the open bracket, but guess it would have been to unfair.

I hope we don´t see him ever again. It´s not the first time he acts like "that".

He earned the slot, didn't want to play but went anyway. Who cares if he earned it, he didn't deserve it as he has barely played in a month and was probably going to find a way to end the series fast no matter what. If soundproofing is such an issue, where are the other pros lining up to defend him?

Hmm.. considering that he hasn't played in a month and threw the tournament like that, imo it would be appropriate to not give out the last months sallary and kick him.

Hasuobs is older than Naniwa + there is no twosome, what are you talking about?

Naniwa got what he asked for, I won't miss him playing SC

The perfect Naniwaesque exit. ^^ Retires exactly in the manner one would expect from him.

Someone forgot to put on their big boy pants this morning.. He knew he couldn't handle Polt and acted like the child he is over it.

Naniwa's behaviour has pretty much always been more than debatable. However, he showed a complete lack of respect to both his opponent and the public.

It was known that he was about to take a break from SC2, that he hadn't been playing SC2 for weeks and that he wasn't prepared for this tournament, but leaving right in the middle of the series with close to no explanation is a big middle finger to all the people who were still kinda supporting him.

Naniwa was a formidable player, probably the best foreigner out there if he had kept on playing seriously, and his frankness could be respected, despite whining a lot and being quite BM. But now that he showed he didn't respect anyone anymore, neither the viewers, nor the other players, nor the IEM staff, I wonder who's gonna keep supporting him anymore.

Anyway, farewell Naniwa, it's your right to stop playing if you don't like the game anymore. Still, you could have left without giving the middle finger to everybody.

It is obvious he didn't practice at all and when you get fucked because you can clearly her the audience is a shame.

I'm going to miss Naniwa he have clearly just been miserable in 2014 and I wont let that overshadow what he have done fort he foreign scene in his career.
