It's shows he's just a normal human being (with some quirks maybe).

It's his OPINION  | ||

He said some rather derogatory and insulting things about Poland shortly before he was supposed to cast CS:GO at IEM in Katowice. He was subsequently removed from the event. TL:DR: Dumb things were said, consequences followed. | ||

As much as I dislike LoL and it's community this Faker guy is pretty amazing. Him being the best out of a million players is quite comparable to Scarlett  but I don't think the skill levels of the 2 games can be compared as you need totally different skills for LoL. | ||

I actually found what he said, I won't put his words here but I will provide a link for people who missed it (like I did). http://www.esportsheaven.com/news/64245/thorin-from-unfiltered-to-unemployed ^ You think judging statements like these is being overly sensitive? | ||

Also, I don't really believe he did well in karate I've done a fair bit of martial arts, and I've run into plenty of guys like that. They never last. That kind of mindset makes you a toxic presence and no one will work with you. It also just makes you worse because you won't honestly confront the fact that you probably aren't very good. | ||

Then again i have to say that this is not the thread for discussing such things, it's an interview with naniwa, discuss that and not if this is discriminative racist or whatever. it's great content that he provided here nonetheless and it should be appreciated imo | ||

The Nazi's, or the Neo-Nazi's hold no views like: "Oh well, Poland is a shitty country because the have no advanced infrastructure like we do. Oh they are grateful when an event is held in their country, because nothing else is going on, and they wan't to feel like a part of the civilized word." That's the gist of what Thorin said. Nothing more. Nothing less. The Nazis or Neo Nazis believe that they descend from a superior breed of humans, which gives the right to transform their superiority into world domination by any means necessary. The polish people are lesser people to them(and so are other non german people). Thorin didn't even come close to mentioning anything of the sort, and if he did, nobody would be talking about the interview and the whole community would have crucified him on the spot. But I'm pretty sure you're trollin, so whatever. | ||

But I'm pretty sure you're trollin, so whatever. His statements (you missed a few) did come off like he feels superior to polish people. Offending the country can be viewed as offending the people since polish people choose leadership and polish leadership runs the country. Calling him a nazi is obviously an overreaction but he did get "crucified" in a way since he got fired by ESL after saying those things. To stay on topic: I liked the interview in general, Naniwa is obviously much more mannered and reasonable when he isn't in a game he just lost. There is a bit of Jekyll and Hyde in him.. I am a bit confused about his impressions on practice in ST house. At first he was saying that nobody wanted to practice with him but later he said he was very picky about finding practice partners because he was afraid that Koreans would leak his replays to his opponent (like he insinuated with Polt before his game against Mvp). He had a brief moments of that Naniwa that showed up at IEM in the interview but it was way better masked since he was more diplomatic about it. Just goes to show he can handle himself like a normal person when he is not under pressure. And I really do hope he grows up or somehow manages his temper because I feel like he misunderstood his father's words. Not excepting defeat and giving your best isn't the same as making excuses for loses and BMing other players when you lose to them. He will obviously need to work on himself because even if he for example goes to LoL I don't see someone with his mentality do well in a game that requires cooperation with other players in the team. | ||

I'm interested in the content but simply don't have an hour to sink in. :p Can't you just pick some of the most interesting things listed? The time and topics are there so it seems fairly quick and easy to do. | ||
