If you don't remember, Foxer stands for Fake-Boxer, a.k.a. MVP.MarineKing. I guess he has "fallen off" a bit since WoL days, so maybe you calling him an "obscure player" kinda fit. But, like I said, unless you're "sarcastic" on the "name dropping"-comment, you have just proved me right. P.S. at this point saying you're sarcastic just makes you look like dim-witted liar, sorry you can't win. You play Zerg :\ P.S. What was the point that he proved right in the first place :D | ||

They also get articles about them because of their results, their showman behavior, a memorable moment of the year, a recovery after an accident (ok this one is uncommon in eSports), etc. | ||

Him qualifying for WCS is a huge storyline and the idea that he shouldn't be written about unless they write an article for everyone is absurd. You don't have to agree or condone with his behavior to understand this. Obviously plenty of people care about him. I for one thing think he was way over the line for his comment about Kane. However try telling a sports newspaper they shouldn't write about Zlatan. It makes no sense. Both Zlatan and Naniwa are some of the very best to have played the game. | ||

With all the talk of professionalism and old player name dropping in this thread, I felt compelled to search out this clip. Not that I'm trying to draw parallels, but I hope for more lols like what I had from this video and this thread. | ||

Oh, man... This is embarassing. The cringe is real. Seems like Kane will do anything to not have to get rekt by Naniwa in WCS. | ||

Is the SC2 scene weird to the point where a player can have the most unprofessional possible behavior and still have an article only about him? As Kane said, how about making an article about Nerchio or about all the respectful, professional, non-drama mongering pro gamers out there (instead of calling them some random "qualifier hero")? Agreed. If TL wants suggestions, I met a really nice, respectful opponent on gold league the other day who would make a great subject. He is just as relevant the current batch of non-naniwa foreigner pros, so why not. | ||

I guess I'm just angry at him getting more exposure than he would get if he had the behavior of a Snute or of a Scarlett then. edit : I guess I'm also angry at all the NaNifans coming back to praise him and excuse every mistake he makes by accusing Swarm Hosts/Terran/soundproofing/whatever (and insulting his opponents too). | ||
