You really can't, even if you perfectly soundproofed them, the damn thing would vibrate from all the noise. But they really need white noise generators to deal with commentators being heard.

Players are some of the biggest opponents of white noise generators.

If this incident doesn't prompt tournament organizers to take soundproof issue seriously, I don't know what would. Naniwa or not, it's disappointing that we have to talk about soundproof booths in 2014.







Putting them in other rooms may be the only way.

Well if they oppose it then that is on them. But it would make it near impossible to hear anything distinguishable

Don't they use that at IEM or just play loud music in the headphones?

I doubt it, the headphones are in your ears, the generators may interfere but I doubt it would be noticable

Booing happens all the time in sportevents.


That's the thing. ie. football:
If you dive and get a penalty people will boo.
If you fake an injury to get another player sent off people will boo.
If you brutally foul / injure another player and don't get send off people will boo.
If you don't play the ball back after an injury people will boo.

Basically - if you show no sportsmanship people will boo. Actually booing is one of the nicer things you will experience. Football fans have way worse chants to show their disagreement with your actions (not even mentioning throwing things / laser pointers).

If you went to go see a football match and the team walked off half way through because they didn't like the referee booing would be the least of their worries.

Those are some very informative posts from SirScoots...it brings the whole thing under a new perspective. Really players should be told to expect imperfections and adjust their play based on it. Maybe the real issue is that this isn't communicated to the players very well.

Although also they could try to implement strict rules for the crowd; i.e. no cheering or booing while the game is in progress, like with tennis matches. Not sure if that would work or whether you could really control fans of a certain player from shouting when something important is happening (cheese). So yeah probably not .

In football people start booing, when the other team has the ball at times. We as a community/possible audience should distance ourselfs from football audiences as far as we can. And people blinding players with laser-pointers are not disagreeing with the players actions, they are causing actual injuries to the players and should at least be fined and banned from all stadiums.

Naniwa is a complete joke of a competitor. The issue isn't sound proofing, the issue is him himself. You don't see any of the Korean players storming off the stage like a raging child. For all the praise Nani got for his win-or-nothing attitude and dedication to being the best, he sure has a weak backbone. This goes to show hes never had it in him to be a true champion. I did find it hilarious how he kept tweeting the "xD" face... sure sign that hes raging.

You don't go saying how "you haven't played starcraft in weeks" try to cheese your way to a win against a professional player, and then ragequit like a scrub saying it was the lack of soundproofing that caused you to lose.

When he grows up, he'll look back on this moment and regret it.

There are fans who doesn't care at all about the drama you know. Like they only cheer for Naniwa because they enjoy to watch his game.

I consider myself a pretty big 30 seconds to mars fan and I don't even know the band members name. I don't care, I enjoy their songs a lot and have bought their albums. I just don't care about them outside of the music they produce. And there are starcraft fans who thinks the same way about players. Only watch for their games, don't care about the drama etc.

Lastly I am swedish and I am not a naniwa fan so would be nice if you stop generalizing. A lot of us don't agree with Naniwas actions so. To me the only good thing about Naniwa is that he loses a lot to Leenock in tournament finals : )

10 years from now when people look back on SC2, will they remember Naniwa as one of the best foreigner or the person who has one of the worst sportsmanship. If you're going to retire or stop playing, by all means give your spot up to someone who is willing to play for themselves and the fans. I hope Naniwa retire for good so we don't have to deal with this kind of antic again. First the probe rush, and now the forfeit on the big stage, I feel bad for the fans who came out to watch the matches and the fans who tuned in.

How about we get some random people from the crowd to stand in the booth and bellow into the ears of the players for the duration of the game?

What hurts the scene even more is shoddy production that ruins the game. If anything it's a disgrace for Poland showing that they have no idea how to host a tournament. Thankfully we have good tournaments like Dreamhack that knows what the heck they are doing.


Let alone the shitty crowd. Kudos to NaNi.


Now that I thought about it for a while I´m pretty sure you are trolling... yeah that must be it!


You need to practice thinking a bit more then. I'm not trolling at all. What a classless bunch of troglodytes they are. Booing like that is not how it's supposed to be done. Perhaps in Poland, but not anywhere else.

I would've booed and I am not from poland. He behaved bad towards the tourney, his opponent and the crowd. That is justification enough for me.


You got to love winning more than you hate losing. And judging from how much NaNi hates losing there's no wonder he's the best foreigner (or was). Anything else is irrelevant. Booing like a bunch of enviromentally damaged alcoholics just reinforces the caricature of post-Sovjet countrymen being wrongfully brought up savages. It's saddening to see.



Dude I`m just lost of words.... the lack of any thought.... enjoy your ban!!!! Bye bye


Well, I'm proving a point.

The crowd excuse their shitty behaviour with NaNi being BM when he's really jsut a fierce competitor. Plz enlighten me as to how the crowd acting like shitheads is justified just because NaNi sometimes shows his emotions because he really makes a big deal out of his esporting career?

To put it really bluntly, progamers exist to entertain us. It is the viewership that attracts sponsors who are willing to pay for players' equipment, salaries, flight tickets, and prize money. If they fail to entertain their viewers they will be critised. Naniwa has been acting like a dick for a long time now but people put up with it because he posted results. As soon as he stopped posting results though, people got sick of his antics.

Noone minds a player showing emotion, but if vitriolic and snide comments towards other players and the community are the only thing a player is capable of, people will get tired of that person really quickly.

Naniwa isn't the only person who takes his esports career seriously. Practically all the players at IEM Katowice do. Naniwa is just the only one that consistently behaves unprofessionaly (apart from Idra, but he left the scene a few months ago, in a similarly childish fashion as Naniwa did).


Wrong, progamers do not exist to entertain us. Naniwa, a progamer does not exist to entertain us. Nor do any other progamer. He is his own person with his own hopes and dreams and beliefs and free will, as are all of us. Progaming is job to entertain, there is a difference.

Without viewers, there isn't any progaming, assuming that progaming means making a living off of playing competitive video games. Hence if progamers don't entertain, people don't watch.

Also, being a human being, Naniwa is also expected to adhere to a set of societal norms. One of those is that acting the way he does is not acceptable for a 24-year-old.
