Many would argue both. Especially the first one in my eyes. I haven't been around long enought to truely say anything about the second, but I do think this article was super unneccissary.

Oh c'mon. It's just fun humor on one of the most controversial SC2 players of all time. Plus, it helps to inform people that Naniwa is back from retirement.

And the Starcraft/E-sports scene has always been a sucker for player/team drama. People like seeing rage, insults, IRL fights between two scrawny players, etc.
Not really. You are talking about the group of people that translate a traffic accident as entertainment in their empty lives, and lack the empathy to do nothing else but laugh.

eSport is not built on drama, but the games themselves. If not, it lacks quality in itself. Players should be treated with some respect, not targeted as fun humor.

Woah buddy, there's no need to incite people to run Naniwa over with a car, that's stepping wayyy over the boundaries.

I agree its not build on drama, but the drama will attract more attention. When rivalries and grudges occur, the games become more entertaining.

Dana White understands how the drama can bring in more viewers; he signed Brock Lesnar for that very reason. Of course, the fighter/player has to have the skills necessary to enter the octagon/sit behind the screen.

I enjoy watching Naniwa because he is a beast at this game, but also because I want to see someone stomp him.

Is drama necessary to garner more attention? No. Will drama garner more attention? Yes.

I am not saying Starcraft 2 needs players like Naniwa and Idra, but when we do have these kinds of characters it makes the games more enjoyable.

To Naniwa, I wish you the best of luck, and I truly hope you make it to Premier league. I also hope that you get floor stomped in the Challenger league.

You are the only player that I will cheer and jeer. Keep on doing what you are doing. I am glad you are back.

I have to respectfully disagree Guitars. This article is absolutely necessary. In fact, I was waiting for someone to do a write-up on his return.

Why do I feel its necessary? Because its Naniwa! I was hoping for a more polarized article totally bashing him, but instead we got a slightly unbiased piece that successfully shows Naniwa from two angles.

@Dracolich70, when Dana White signed Brock Lesnar, UFC wasn't in desperate times. It was prospering quite well.

The audience loves having a bad guy to hate, which is why WWE is so popular. Everyone knows its fake, but millions across the globe still loves watching it. Its a formula that has worked before, and works in esports.

Avilo is definitely the NA version of Naniwa. Of course, avilo is even more "amazing" considering his level of skills. Has avilo ever qualified in anything yet??
