Maybe, maybe not, but it sure is a convenient excuse to kick him off if he isn't playing starcraft 2 anymore. Food for thought ;D
|
If he isnt playing anymore there wouldnt be much of a point for him to stay in a team anyway, no?
Seems reasonable to me.
|
okay, but i can name 5 people at the top of my head that dont deserve to be on EG anymore if you are saying playing/practice is the issue

He sure as hell deserves it. I was always a fan of Naniwa but he is just too "uninformed" (to put it lightly) to see why he needs to be at that tournament.
|
He sure does deserve to be kicked. Saying you don't want to go to your job + *I didn't practice for something I qualified for* is the biggest piss poor excuse ever.

but those guys are either smart, sexy or likeable in general. put a monster drink in their hand and people will be like, damn, i wanna drink it, too.
naniwa is just a good starcraft player, as long as he practices.

Smart idea getting kicked off, this way he doesn't have post-retirement streaming hours to make up.

Machine is no longer on EG, he was a house manager and then quit to go back to school.
iNcontroL is on EG the way Rotterdam is on ROOT.
Thorzain is actually likable and will one day be the first EG-sponsored doctor.
Stephano is caught in some sort of endless feedback loop of constantly needing more streaming hours, fortunately he has found a way to fill those hours with the fewest amount of games possible.

Hes under contract and hes representing the company. What he done was embarrassing to the event holders and the sponsors. He could have at least went out in a professional manner and not looking like a child, its time he grew up.
I dont feel sorry for this guy one bit, nor should anyone else tbh and with luck hes career in SC2 and E-Sports is finished,, then he can get a real job, perhaps serving burgers at MacDonalds as i don't think going what of i have seen of him that he has ether the temperament or intelligence to work with other people reliably. Saying that his customer facing skills are appalling so he probably couldnt even do that.
Dont feel sorry for him one bit, good riddance !!!

As much as i liked Naniwa as a player, this is just not professional at all.
|
For a dude who apparently left the game and scene he sure is lingering around a long time...

Incontrol has value to EG that's worth far more than just his skill as a player. Others as well.
Players(employees) are ultimately accountable to the company. If they provide ROI, then they're kept. If they're negative, but could provide future value, then they could still be kept. If they're actively lowering the value of the company(naniwa's actions), then the asset needs to be cut loose.
Naniwa could've tried hard, dropped out without winning a map and it would've have been that big of a deal. Putting in zero effort and then his actions afterwards doesn't just hurt his value as a player, it hurts the team he's on and the sponsors.

You get sponsored to play a game. You stop playing it. You stop getting sponsored. Makes sense to me. What's wrong Naniwa?

I think what he meant was that while he does a lot of stuff for EG in terms of his marketing power, Rotti is part of Root as just as a friend thing and that Rotti's branding is reserved solely for Rotti (ie, when he gets jobs he gets them as Kevin, not as an employee of ROOT) so you dont see him pushing Root sponsor stuff.

Responsibility: a useful skill toi have.

It's understandable if he didn't want to go. But if he really didn't care, why make those excuses when his proxy was found? Losing would have suit him just fine, since he would just get to be out early. There was no reason to create drama and cause a delay to the tournament if he didn't even want to be there in the first place.
