Well, if he says he was unable to play a serious game, then it's likely true. I can't relate to how he felt at the time, but I'm still disappointed. I wish he could've gotten over his losses and played a proper game vs NesTea. I'm sure that any pro would want to win that game, even if there was no money on the line. There won't be that many chances to fight that man on stage again.

I felt it for Nani. His first game vs LeeNock was almost won, a few mistakes that he didn't kill tech structures and stop expos but overall that was great game. The best control I've ever seen. Then moving on to the next 2 was cheese fest and all-in. He must be damn frustrated. I;m an audience and I was frustrated as well.

So it's ok Nani, work on your game rather than other shits.

Actually, I'm a protoss hater but I do feel sorry for Naniwa. Although his actions were stupid but that was because he was unacquainted with the ways of the world. He could've just done a half-arsed strategy (e.g. 4-gate) and none of this backlash would've happened. However, to him, doing the 4-gate and probe rushing were equivalent things, but to the community, they were poles apart. This is the result of people who don't normally mix much socially being put in the spotlight.

Obviously, his actions were unprofessional, but in reality his real mistake was not knowing what professionalism is. Then to compound it all, people like MC condemn him because it's the easy and "cool" thing to do.

Haters gonna hate.

If you don't want pointless matches, then organise your tournament better. Don't hate on Naniwa for being logical.

Its funny how people would have been happy if he had done a unmotivated 4 gate or cannon rush that obviously was not executed good, but people feel so offended, hurt and cry like babies just because he probe rush. If anything the probe rush just added som excitement to that pointless games. I love it!!

I hope this will only make Naniwa more motivated and not the other way around.

Stay strong Naniwa!

This is ridiculous. Community overreacts --> forces GOM's hand --> Naniwa loses Code S.

GOM's decision is just stupid. I'm gonna continue to support you and found it quite amusing, that you did a probe rush. So you entertained at least me <3

What happened to NaNiWa is unbelievable, how can you get kicked out of GSL for cheesing. It's just built up anger from the Koreans because of his previous GSL game in which he left without a gg.

It wasn't a simple cheese, and you know that.

This whole thing has really been blown out of proportion, and I feel for you Nani.
But hey, at least now you know that you can't trust people not to overreact (well we knew that already), including GOM. So maybe now's the time to change your "bad attitude" (a.k.a. brutal honesty and pragmatism), since this sort of thing can't keep happening without it really getting in the way of your career.

It's still a bit silly, albeit understandable given how the world works.

<3 Fuck GOM. They lost a subscriber in me if the whole ban thing is true. Not giving them any more money.

NaNi fighting! Hope you stay in korea and become the best to roflstomp the fools that banned you.
