This may be true.... but at least he will make it to Premier....

You on the other hand.... have fun qualifying for challenger over and over again.

+1 for Kane here. At the end it just a video game and how you treat people is what really matters.

So why do all these pros come out of the woodwork to pick a fight with Naniwa? What does that tell us about them?

I'm all for good behavior, but I honestly never thought Naniwa's antics were that bad...I'm glad he's back, mostly because he's a karking good Protoss player. Good for him.

They are jelly of Naniwa and his achievements. They never wanted him to come back, because it reminds people of what they could be as a foreigner.

And what they aren't.

Hahaha. What's even funny was that I actually wrote article about NaNiwa because I thought Zealously was a bit too negative with his depiction, and one guy on reddit accidentally titled my article as the trademarked "Road to BlizzCon". I treated NaNiwa more as a person who made a lot of sacrifices because of his determination to win (more like a misunderstood sociopath).

But even then, I actually wish he would stay retired because of numerous cases of being unprofessional...

Treating people nicely is far less important than succeeding at something, anything, even if it is "just a video game," because the people will forget you and the game will fade into obscurity, but the accomplishment will always remain.

Edit: Also I think it says something about Kane that he passive aggressively insults Naniwa without provocation in his own spotlight thread.

Under an hour, two pages, a spillover onto Twitter, and a grudge between two players already in Challenger.

Damn if the dude doesn't get people's attention.

Welp, I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy this one. Have fun kids. Daily reminder that not even Nani is as evil as Sniper though.

Nani, if you win WCS, I'm dying my hair blue again. Just saying.

NaNiwa (I love how he has undefined in his name) is more accurately a martyr and a pariah. Despite his actions proving that he cares for nobody other than himself, there will always be a few stubborn sycophants of his trying to elevate him beyond being a very good foreigner. He was a good player. He is a shitty person. What is more important now?

https://twitter.com/NaNiwaSC2/status/488768997836734465


And what about the other 6-7 pros mentioned in the article that want to pick a fight with Naniwa? What about Kane soliciting money on twitter to have Nerchio attack Naniwa in real life?

No, sorry. At the end of the day being happy is what matters. I'd rather be an asshole with hundreds of thousands of dollars and the knowledge that I'm one of the best competitors in my area, than bee a poor, bitter nerd who feels the need to rage at people for their precieved lack of "professionalism" out of what I can only assume is jealousy.

Great article. I love what Naniwa does to the starcraft scene.
