Wait, are we seriously defending 40k total viewers for the years largest tourney at 3PM EST now?


Again how does that compare with how IEM normal rates on day one? You're also trying to make out like the viewership of that one day is the only thing that matters. There are more tournaments than just IEM. Since when is this the years largest tourney as well, could you be any more obvious with your intentions.

In a very personal opinion, Im very sad that naniwa is no longer playing SC2 is the only one apart from idra that make this game really entertaining to watch, I guess he needs time to relax and be away from all this pussy fuckers called "community" with a few exception of course, I wish he didn't care about what other people think... and also if he is not enjoying the game anymore there's no reason for him to play, I hardly ever play SC2 anymore so I understand that, but booing him in the event today was terrible G_G...
In the end, I really like him as a player with his personality include. I do no justify his behaviour because I can DEAL WITH IT NO PROBLEM, unlike many of you whining pussies, so all in all goodbye naniwa and a big fuck you to all you stupid people. -with few eceptions as well-

I'm normally a Naniwa hater, but if after all previous incidents they still can't use soundproof booths then he does have the right to be upset. Was there any confirmation that players could hear the crowd?

Naniwa sacrificed himself so that SC2 community would finally take soundproof issue seriously.

No other players complained, and the LoL players also had no issue.
Apparently San could hear the crowd

The scouting SCV was queued to the proxy so soundproofing was irrelevant to the situation.

It was a non issue to everyone else as well.

Really, guys?
Say what you will but there is a logical consistency in him going out with a bang.

We all know he's an immature idiot. But he's our immature idiot. And a very lovable immature idiot. We love him for his skill and for his unpredictable behavior. If we spend 3 years giving this boy attention and cheering him on (regardless of his behavior), we better not act surprised when he acts precisely in the way we've encouraged him to act. This game is nothing without personality. Nothing at all.

Zinedine Zedane made his exit from the football-scene by head-butting Materazzi in the world cup final (his last ever official match). Let's all just think about that for a moment.

I say: cheers to Nani, thank you for the music, and let's hope there's someone else out there who can catch our attention like you did.

Correction, some people loved him for it. Others did not think that was behavior that should be idolized and encouraged.

despite his personality he was one of the best foreigners to ever grace the scene. getting to gsl ro8 twice is nothing to scoff at, it requires skill, determination and fortitude.

i wish him well for the future and hope he get his issues sort out. the way he just bow out like that its just sad and depressing.

Some people prefer vanilla, others prefer color.

Some people prefer people who act like adults and behave professionally. If that's vanilla then sign me up. You can keep the "colorful" ones who pull stunts like this. The scene isn't as hurt by his departure as some people would like to believe.

I hope that Naniwa sponsor's drop him like a bad habit. If your retiring and not going to play anymore, then no need for sponsorship. He has had a piss poor attitude for awhile now. Good riddance, King of the North my ass, more like King of the douchebags.

What a silly thing to say. I don't expect viewership to increase. I expect it to stay roughly the same. Believe it or not most people watch the game because they like the game not because they are obsessed with one player.
