He probably blamed the crowd, its happened before a few times during large crowds, cheese getting crowd sensed, he was already angry at the game obviously and wasn't having fun and was just doing this tournament because he felt some obligation. His forfeiting, he probably was going to probe rush or do that, I would rather see what he did instead. Anyway Naniwa's pretty much retired, its interesting to compare Stephano with Naniwa, Stephano hated the game too but he broke ties with his fans in a respectful and happy way, its just a shame Naniwa might not get that chance. | ||

Can´t believe there are still tournaments who can´t fix this problems :/ embarrassing... It is right on the front page news. Polt also used the same scouting pattern at IEM Cologne. It's a pretty normal thing for him. Plus it is reasonable that Polt would expect some proxy bullshit from a guy who hadn't practiced in a month or so. Good riddance to Naniwa. People say he's still better than IdrA when it comes to BM, but IdrA at least took some time to produce some content for the community (taking part in shows, writing articles, etc.). Nani's always been just a douchebag. | ||

He is a perfectionist, there was something he didn't like. He chose not to tolerate it. It was his choice to make and he earned that spot. I understand the hate, but I am not going to take any part in it. Best of luck Nani in whatever you choose to do. You will be missed. | ||

Others would've been so grateful for this chance. The booing was well deserved. I don't understand this line of reasoning. He earned the slot. He...earned the slot. Earned it. I totally understand his falling out (I went through it to!) with SC2; and I'm glad that Naniwa has the balls to act according to his own impulses instead of holding on to something that he hates because others demand or expect it of him. It's not a good riddance, it's a heartfelt goodbye to someone who is very often misunderstood. And... He earned the slot. He earned the slot, didn't want to play but went anyway. Who cares if he earned it, he didn't deserve it as he has barely played in a month and was probably going to find a way to end the series fast no matter what. If soundproofing is such an issue, where are the other pros lining up to defend him? All of that is besides the point...Doesn't matter how much or how little he played... The concept of debating whether or not "someone deserves "it" is pointless. He earned that slot. How else is he there? It's not the open bracket, he got there because he won before... What he did in the tourney...in the end a loss is a loss. Why try to hide that he wants to leave and just get it over with? The point is that he isn't acting beneath the lense of "what would everyone who is watching me want?" Because that actually doesn't matter in the slightest. I don't know if you've noticed...but Naniwa does not play for anyone but himself. He played to win. And now he doesn't feel like trying anymore. Would a genuine loss to Polt make you feel better? It's like 30 more minutes of time dude. It doesn't matter in the slightest. And the booths? Who knows, it might be a genuine complaint...Naniwa for one doesn't give a shit. Polt used the exact same SCV scouting path he used in IEM Cologne. The odds of a soundproofing issue tipping him off are slim to none. That's fine...Like I said (or didn't say) I didn't actually watch the games...I don't watch anything SC2 related anymore. But the point I'm trying to make, I guess, is that anyone who is complaining about missed opportunity and that Naniwa's a "waste of space," or "disgrace," A. Doesn't understand how seeding works. B. Doesn't understand Naniwa. He has ALWAYS played for nobody but himself. What the fuck guys, don't expect him to start catering to the demands of the audience. At least he has the balls to do what he means to do and do it immediately instead of holding on and slowly dying (ahem)... Who knows, he might come back. He might not. But I think the whines that it wasn't sportsmanlike are unwarranted. I mean, if you want to make a huff about that, okay...but just like Naniwa...it's just not worth the effort. | ||

People really should stop kicking him while he's down. Would playing two absolutely meaningless maps really make you feel any different? What's sickening is that a lot of the people who are saying these horrible things about Naniwa were surely going "HURR DURR KING IN THE NORTH" while he was winning. | ||

It would not be the first time players can hear the crowd / casters, especially if it gets realy loud. | ||

I hope ESL bans him. Oh ya, to the swede fans defending him. I think his actions is more of an insult to YOU than ESL or other viewers. You cheer him on to play sc2, not walk away like that. Just think about it. | ||
