This news is about as unsurprising as the prediction that Naniwa was going to make a scene at IEM (though the magnitude, less so).

Outside of gaming, exactly what does Naniwa do? Does he have some other sort of employment?

Naniwa and all time the same story.
All other fault but Naniwa is an Angel.
He is a princess and nothing more.
The other think is he say he dont want to play sc2 anymore.
Why you need a clan if you dont play the game?
this makes absolut no sense.
He is the master of weasel words.

Aah, the situation was handled very poorly by all three parties, that’s for sure. If IEM and Alliance insisted on Naniwa going to the finals then it’s Naniwa’s responsibility to put on a good show or at least make sure not to offend the viewers, which he did in a very, very childish manner. Ultimately though, if they had the viewers at mind then they’d either let Naniwa forfeit his spot or Naniwa would openly break his obligation to go (if there was any) stating it’s better for the viewers and he’d suffer the consequences in good faith that IEM and Alliance understand.

i would ofcourse not want to go to waste my time playing a tournament in a game i dont even practice anymore as it was a huge waste of time but as i said i was forced to because of SPONSOR Things, and ironically enough i got kicked out of the team for going there and doing what i did when i didnt even wanna go or play sc2 in the first place funnily enough. but whatever im not sad and i dont really care anymore about that, im sure that if i practice 2 weeks in the future i can make the comeback as the best foreign player at any time if i feel like it.

its a bit funny tho that ppl think other people deserve the spot ( Yes i wanted to give it away cuz i didnt wanna play the tour ) but i won it fair and square by going top2 at newyork, if other people wouldve "deserved it" then they could learn to qualify to tournaments by their own skill


so what he did was bad, but i dont know if he desrves to be kicked off of alliance/eg.


He broke like every rule of the blizzard WCS rules so he should be punished sure.
But the "there will be consequences" is : WTF ? The guy wants to quit. And threatened him ? I mean, i really don't like Naniwa. I REALLY DON'T. But this is fucked up to threaten a guy... If you want to fire him. Fire him. The guy said he didn't want to do that job anymore. So you break contract. You don't force him.

But Naniwa is bad publicity (like iDra was. Strangly i like iDra) but you deal with it. Maybe alliance wasn't prepared enough to absorb the shitstorm Naniwa could create.

Naniwa is a really good player. A bad sportmanship and e-sport representative. But you don't kick a guy after threateing him to do something. This is bad management. But we only have one part of the story...

He was asked to do his job, and he didn't. Of course you tell him to do it, and fire him when he behaves like a spoiled child.


But they shouldn't have let him go there. They should have fired him before. Or maybe they didn't have official reasons at that moment. But you know the guy, he's going to do shitty things so you don't send him and you part ways. Safer for your sponsors that way too. That's what i was trying to say.

You can and you should.

If my boss asks me to do something that I don't want to do, I wouldn't make a complete mess of what is asked.

There is an acceptable level of performance, using my own example, I don't want to negotiate price with Chinese factory because my Mandarin isn't great, but I certainly would at least make some sort of progress instead of calling the factory and slam.them with a stupid price and expect I will be fine.


Well if my boss tells me to do something that i don't want to. If i have reason to not wanting to do it, i'll take to my boss and see what we can do.
You're not a soldier and this is not orders.

You go to your manager and say something along the lines :
" I want to quit, so do not send me there ".
" You are obliged to do so because contract ".
" So you want me to go, play bad, be mad, lose, and make sponsors not happy with you because of this ?"

If you are a good manager you say : "Ok give me your resignation". And parts ways

If you are a good manager you say: "No, i want you to go, be professional and put your personal feelings aside for the company that paid your living for the last months, when you already slacked around. Give your best one more time, represent yourself, our team and our sponsors in the most dignified way and then go out of scene with a decent ending."

Seriously, you make it sound as if asking (or commanding) him to play a last decent bo5 set is some kind of slave work... wtf?

He is a bit of a dick in the way he goes about saying/doing things but there's something refreshing about how brutally honest and transparent Naniwa is, somewhat similar to the way Idra was/is. Atleast you know you he isn't ever going to suck up to anyone and I liked the way he always had a ton of respect for the players (Koreans) who were better than him. He really is leagues ahead of any other foreigner protoss and the comment he made about coming back and being the best foreigner in 2 weeks is pretty true imo - in the same way Garry Kasparov could still spank most of the top chess grandmasters in the world years after retiring.

Naniwa will be back after he realises that right now sc2 is what he is good at, he just treats it like a game right now rather than a job but soon he will realise its a much better job than most of the things that will be available to him, and far better paid.

Well. I wouldn't buy any products too. This is not Rude (well it kind of is :p :p) but if i don't like something/someone, why would i give them money ?

You can and you should.

If my boss asks me to do something that I don't want to do, I wouldn't make a complete mess of what is asked.

There is an acceptable level of performance, using my own example, I don't want to negotiate price with Chinese factory because my Mandarin isn't great, but I certainly would at least make some sort of progress instead of calling the factory and slam.them with a stupid price and expect I will be fine.


Well if my boss tells me to do something that i don't want to. If i have reason to not wanting to do it, i'll take to my boss and see what we can do.
You're not a soldier and this is not orders.

You go to your manager and say something along the lines :
" I want to quit, so do not send me there ".
" You are obliged to do so because contract ".
" So you want me to go, play bad, be mad, lose, and make sponsors not happy with you because of this ?"

If you are a good manager you say : "Ok give me your resignation". And parts ways

Quoted for the truth


If you are a good manager you say: "No, i want you to go, be professional and put your personal feelings aside for the company that paid your living for the last months, when you already slacked around. Give your best one more time, represent yourself, our team and our sponsors in the most dignified way and then go out of scene with a decent ending."

Seriously, you make it sound as if asking (or commanding) him to play a last decent bo5 set is some kind of slave work... wtf?

I think that any manager involved in esports after all these years that doesn't take into account "NaNiwa factor" in such situations is a manager that is not very good at what he does.

I don't understand how anyone can like Naniwa. He's such a brat. EG wants you to play at a tournament, you go play at a tournament. That's your job as a professional player.

Also, why would EG keep him if he won't play anymore. Good riddance I say.
Parting: Well, even I can make better maps than these.

So many haters of Nani... You can't really argue with his results. He is arguably the best foreigner, if not 'one of the best' foreigners who was able to consistently post decent results against Koreans. All his accomplishments, he got it through undeniable hard work. I for one will be sad to see him go. He's always been an entertaining player for me personally, especially with all the dramas he seem to attract.

i would ofcourse not want to go to waste my time playing a tournament in a game i dont even practice anymore as it was a huge waste of time but as i said i was forced to because of SPONSOR Things, and ironically enough i got kicked out of the team for going there and doing what i did when i didnt even wanna go or play sc2 in the first place funnily enough. but whatever im not sad and i dont really care anymore about that, im sure that if i practice 2 weeks in the future i can make the comeback as the best foreign player at any time if i feel like it.

its a bit funny tho that ppl think other people deserve the spot ( Yes i wanted to give it away cuz i didnt wanna play the tour ) but i won it fair and square by going top2 at newyork, if other people wouldve "deserved it" then they could learn to qualify to tournaments by their own skill


so what he did was bad, but i dont know if he desrves to be kicked off of alliance/eg.


He broke like every rule of the blizzard WCS rules so he should be punished sure.
But the "there will be consequences" is : WTF ? The guy wants to quit. And threatened him ? I mean, i really don't like Naniwa. I REALLY DON'T. But this is fucked up to threaten a guy... If you want to fire him. Fire him. The guy said he didn't want to do that job anymore. So you break contract. You don't force him.

But Naniwa is bad publicity (like iDra was. Strangly i like iDra) but you deal with it. Maybe alliance wasn't prepared enough to absorb the shitstorm Naniwa could create.

Naniwa is a really good player. A bad sportmanship and e-sport representative. But you don't kick a guy after threateing him to do something. This is bad management. But we only have one part of the story...

He was asked to do his job, and he didn't. Of course you tell him to do it, and fire him when he behaves like a spoiled child.


But they shouldn't have let him go there. They should have fired him before. Or maybe they didn't have official reasons at that moment. But you know the guy, he's going to do shitty things so you don't send him and you part ways. Safer for your sponsors that way too. That's what i was trying to say.

Not a single team or sponsor will want him given his poor behavior that he has exhibited, so I don't understand why he feels he alone will make his comeback a reality...
Naniwa never had a problem getting sponsors as far as I know, no matter the controversy in his wake.

I think EG.eu loses an asset, but maybe they will pick him up for LoL. I think teamsports would do him some good. He is a good kid.


Ahahahahahahahahahah.... *breath*.... ahahahahahahahahahhahahah..

Wew... Thanks for that!!

yes, you are not a solder, but it doesn't mean if you have to do it or there are occasions you have to listen to what you need to do, and when you are doing what you are told to do, you don't do such a messy job.

you are expected to have a reasonable performance even if you are "forced" to do it.
you are still an employee.


I think i get what you want to say. It's true sometime you don't have a choice. Even sometime when you are fired and you still have to do some work (in my country, you can't really be fired and not come back the day after. You still have some month to do).

But as a company you need to assert if the last month of work will endanger you or something. Like if i was to get fired, my company would have to make sure i don't attend meetings where i could to some bad things. Because even if i'm to get fired i still can do some bad thing (if i'm unprofessional).
So in that case they should have told him to just do online cups or something. But in this line of work you have to get exposure so i'm not sure what they could have done.
[/i]
honestly, most other industry or company would not have this kind of issue because it would spoil one's reputation so bad that no company would accept him.
