The Russian stream was breaking the rules by considerable margin of 2 minutes and that's what matters. In fact, they should be punished in some way for that.

Thanks. I was wondering if this apparently pro-Russian fan from Ukraine was presenting the facts correctly or not, so thanks for clarifications. Btw. by standard Twitch delay you mean a few seconds? Anyway, the conclusions are the same.


I find it can range from anything to 10-50 seconds usually.

oooh. Naniwa. Didnt miss him at all. He is a garbage person and thats it. U have to accept it.
He cannot control himself. He is not 5 years old.
And I disagree with Stichu. If Naniwa was more stable and could control himself he could have reached in Sc2 much more.
I dont wanna overlook his character because of his SC2 achievments.
The best thing we could is just ignore him.

It can't be denied that he will bring some viewers back. Others want to see him win, other want to see him lose.

He's a dirty protoss and a toxic attitude player so I consider myself as anti-fan. Ragequit vs. Polt to "retirement" and losing to Thorzain in TSL3 finals put smile on my face. Anyway, WCS is going to be entertaining this year!

Nani is posting in here, and he is not permed. So he must be behaving a lot better here than the average community I suppose?

There are no mods on twitter. Read what I said, if he'd put only 10% of his attitude in TL posts he'd be fucking permed.

You know if you have a irrelevant guy that acts dumb, noone cares or hates (see Lillekannin). But Nani a) is a ridiculously good player and b) knows exactly what his attitude does for him and the game. I hate on him so hard because he's doing this shit all the time over and over again - on fucking purpose. If he was just another douche where you could say "well that guy is pretty dumb no need to rage or care", but he's an intelligent guy. He is sharp about the game and about who to bash in what situation, and in contrary to (e.g.) Idra, he's not at all depending on his mindset when going into series.

Naniwa is a guy that uses the fact that there is no mechanic in esports to punish his behaviour in a smart way to keep the attention sticking to him. That is all. That wouldn't be possible if he'd be a good player, but there's a difference between beating the majority of a meh foreign scene and being totally irrelevant in Korea. Nani would be totally irrelevant in Korea now, even with half a year of training down there.

Don't worry, he's bound to get boo'd into retirement again soon enough


Let's hope. Just one week until Nerchio gives him a lesson in Swarm Host and we'll see how he handles that.


You do know that if you had said that about any other player you would have been banned or at the very least warned. Naniwa bring controversy and is one of very, very few interesting people to watch in Sc2. The scene has been stale for a long ass time and we need some colorful characters.

The scene doesnt need a rager of his caliber. He is an absolutely terrible person, who blames pretty much everything else than himself for losses. There is a reason why so many people dislike him greatly.

Hmm, I think you're both a bit paranoid about this. NaNiwa is an ass for sure but to think he created all the drama he has in his career on purpose? No way. He is now a little bit of course.

You missed the "or" part. Though Nerchio never accused ESL's PCs or soundproofing for his losses afaik.

Meh, I think that most of what I did and why a lot of people don't like me was really blown up out of proportion. It's true that I was always balance whining but it's my opinion about the game. Sure there was some soft insults from time to time which were probably quite unnecessary but that weren't the end of the world either. Being on the other side of insults or whines from other players I actually have more fun instead of being butthurt, thinking to myself "Did you really say that?".
I think you guys(or progamers) are really too sensitive from time to time, especially those that do the same behing curtains.

Out of curiosity, would you ever try to get an opponent disqualified from a tournament if he BM'ed you?

Of course not, considering what I did in the past that would be hypocrisy. And as I said in my post, I don't really take any insult towards me too personal inside the game and I think nobody really should unless it's something really bad.


firecake bad :D ?
Zest fanboy.
