I guess beating MVP and Nestea while getting ro8 in GSL is just something anyone can do I guess?

It appears that Naniwa just does these controversial kinds of things on purpose, just to keep himself relevant within the scene... Negative publicity is publicity nonetheless....

Exactly what I was saying in my post on the other page. The Naniwa as of late, 2014 have been utterly miserable and I wont let that overshadow what he have done before that.

All of that is besides the point...Doesn't matter how much or how little he played... The concept of debating whether or not "someone deserves "it" is pointless. He earned that slot. How else is he there? It's not the open bracket, he got there because he won before...
What he did in the tourney...in the end a loss is a loss. Why try to hide that he wants to leave and just get it over with? The point is that he isn't acting beneath the lense of "what would everyone who is watching me want?" Because that actually doesn't matter in the slightest.
I don't know if you've noticed...but Naniwa does not play for anyone but himself. He played to win.
And now he doesn't feel like trying anymore. Would a genuine loss to Polt make you feel better? It's like 30 more minutes of time dude. It doesn't matter in the slightest.
And the booths? Who knows, it might be a genuine complaint...Naniwa for one doesn't give a shit.

Wow, this reminds me of Zidane during the world cup...

Good to see this thread doesn't get that much attention. People grow tired of his shit over the years. But hey, at least he took a free hotel room, wasted a spot and everybodys time. A great day for him.
Sad kid, go away. Thanks.

Polt used the exact same SCV scouting path he used in IEM Cologne. The odds of a soundproofing issue tipping him off are slim to none.

WTF IEM is really not soundproof? Can´t believe there are still tournaments who can´t fix this problems :/ embarrassing...

At least Zidane did this for a reason, not because he was a crybaby.

I've always tried to see stuff like this from Naniwa's point of view. All his other stuff I've always been able to understand (exepct the probe pull incident, didn't like that). This is just too far though, he hasn't played a ladder game in over a month, hence the proxy strat (exactly the same 'over as quickly as possible BS we saw in his WCS group) and he actually blames the soundproofing? If you're going to do that don't announce to the world you're done with SC2 before the tournament.
All I can say is I'm completely indifferent to him leaving SC2. Many other pros have left/retired which I have been pretty torn up about, but with Naniwa I really just don't care.

Honestly I hope this post doesn't get me banned because I love TL but seriously he is acting like an ungrateful pissant. Even if you felt like things were being heard giving polt an edge then alwel just play out the series for the people. Don't be such a douche and atleast play it out for the fans..... people did come to see good games played......
Honestly if he treats the rest of his life like this i'm sure his life will fall apart because he seems to have no drive , honor , or respect for anything or anyone....

these kind of players are backstabbing the esports industry. sponsors must stop contracting them, and tournaments must stop inviting them.

Tarnishing decades of a distinguished career in the most important tournament in the world because someone called your mother a whore is kind of a cry baby attitude. Kick the shit into the guy when you're off the pitch

I'd say it's pretty analogous, in that both cases involved wild overreactions to minor bad things.

So appropriate right before NaniWAHWAHs exit from SC2
I'll be happy to see players like this gone.
Sucks to see people actually blaming IEM for this.
