Here's my analogy, which may resonate with a lot of students out there: you have to take the final exam for a class, which is going to take valuable time and a lot of handwriting. You probably won't get an A, unless you score like a 103 or higher, but you won't drop to a C unless you do terribad. But you have to do it anyways. Or look no further than the Colts. Arguably one of the best NFL teams out there. Lost Peyton Manning, their star quarterback. Now, they're actually 0 for however-many games-they've-played. But it's not like they aren't trying, right? They go out there every week and try their damndest. And their fans know that and they cheer their damndest as well. From a fan's perspective, I was looking forward to seeing a rematch of Naniwa vs. Nestea. | ||

Naniwa signed a contract and is getting paid by his team and sponsors to go out there and represent them. Giving up like that is like a american football team kneeing every play, a football player kicking it into their own goal, a pitcher balling it every single time. what he did was incredibly selfish and inconsiderate of everyone around him. But for me, its not that big of a deal, his team should just discipline him. | ||

Thing is, I think there would most likely be no fuzz at all about this if it was a Korean pro doing what Naniwa did. | ||

I understand why its not such a big deal but lets just imagine for a second that esports was much larger than it currently is like other sports, one team throws a match because they cant win anymore... no its not acceptable how about for people who paid to see these matches should they get their money back because one of the players didn't think the match mattered? Typical unprofessional naniwa. | ||

Fact is what Naniwa did was the opposite one should expect out of a professional player. It doesn't matter if Naniwa is a foreigner he is a part of the Korean scene in a Korean tournament and Koreans do not like this type of behavior AT ALL. There would be serious consequences if this happened in BW and in order for GOM to remain their air of professionalism and integrity they must punish Naniwa. | ||

Voted completely justified. Honestly, worker rushing is a valid strategy... just nobody does it anymore since it doesn't work lol | ||

In this particular case I think it was bad mannered but nothing more, He's just very inmature & a sore looser. But thats the winning personality... | ||

I voted unacceptable but am not going to rage at Naniwa, he's obviously an amazing player. But if you want to make eSports into a genuine, legitimate professionallly played 'sport' you have to have professional standards. Could you imagine anything like that happening in the traditional sports, where the league/tournament stakes have already been decided? No, the team/player would be fined. Why? Because part of being a professional sportsman is to perform the sport despite their being no financial incentive in order to entertain your supporters/followers who support you (both morally and financially). That said I still love his game so all the best to Naniwa. | ||
