The legend of Weinernaw continues to grow.

 

[Crimsonlink]

Dang so much happened! Missed pretty much all of it. Catching the rest now though. Dear and his PvP isn't the best but Hero might fall.

Hope Life vs Rouge still happens.

 

[-COOLIO-]

Where is our money, btw?

i forfeit.

 

[demosthenes]

i forfeit.

:lol

 

[SamuraiX-]

i forfeit.

lmfao

It's entertainment, and failure to entertain is pretty lame. Especially if there's a price for admittance (couldn't tell from IEM site). Have your team management speak to the organizers, but you still put on the show. Imagine if NBA players refused to play every time Kobe gets a call in his favor.

Is Scarlett the only Western hope these days? I enjoy her games and my daughters love seeing women playing the game.

on the other hand (in response to the quoted tweet), i cant imagine any sport where players wouldn't be boo'd for forfeiting like that.

people pay money to go to these things.

 

[Wunder]

holy shit that was GOLDEN

 

[Double]

i forfeit.

Boooooo!

 

[Haunted]

That attitude the fans at #IEM showed towards @NaNiwaSC2 was disgusting. Every player deserves respect. Booing should not be tolerated.

Their attitude was great.

But then Naniwa forfeited the game. The fans are not at fault.

The only non-Korean and the only female hope.

Stephano retired, Naniwa washed up, Snute, Hasu, Nerchio and Mana are a tier below what it takes to compete with the Koreans.

 

[demosthenes]

We still have Captain America, Polt.

A pity. We actually just bought some Razer Abyssus for work and they have HuK's face on them, amusingly.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Yay!

 

[Haunted]

We still have Captain America, Polt.

The two best US players to ever play the game.

Ryoo Kyung Hyun and Choi Seong Hun.

OH

MY

GOD

LOL

 

[Wunder]

Hahahahahah

 

[calder]

This HerO/Dear PvP looks great, I saw some flashes of really cool play with the hallucinated oracle.

Sadly I'm at work so it's muted and my screen is half hidden so it could be actually awful.

 

[calder]

OH

MY

GOD

LOL

I... I don't get it. What.

 

[BriareosGAF]

I... I don't get it. What.

TwitchPlaysPokemon-alike, the chat channel was controlling Naniwa, then it crashed and that's the explanation for forfeit... maybe... lol?

I... I don't get it. What.

ESL has announced plans to replace Alliance’s Johan “NaNiwa” Lucchesi with an account powered by Twitch Plays Protoss (TPP) at the IEM World Championship in Katowice, Poland.

Nah whole game was pretty good. Nice mindgames with the Oracle too, yep.

 

[J2d]

Will anybody even support him anymore if he doesn't decide to retire after this?

Always, but I don't see him coming back.

 

[Paches]

Just getting caught up on the drama. Sounds about par for the course for Naniwa.

[zargle]

sOs v. Oz hasnt started yet, but when it does, if you are so inclined to watch both streams at once for that PvPvPvP this is helpful: http://multitwitch.tv/esltv_sc2/Nathanias

 

[BriareosGAF]

Why didn't you bring the observer?!

 

[calder]

Daaamn that hold.


God I need like two people to go to a meeting or something so I can listen.

 

[kasane]

HEROOOOOOOOOO

NO

 

[Crimsonlink]

Oh man Dear proved me wrong lol.

Poor HerO, but there is still a herO in the tournament lol.

Go Taeja and jjakji!

Polt has got this. Maru just beat Dear so Polt can too!

 

[Syf]

I'm so glad HerO's out lol.

 

[Crimsonlink]

sOs looks to take it vs Oz but dang Taeja vs Stardust is major hype!

 

[kasane]

stardust next level selfie

 

[DerZuhälter]

Dat Idra GG timing.

 

[Zen]

So many quick ggs this tournament thus far. Not great fun for the spectator.

Really surprising to me given how much is on the line. You'd think they wouldn't give up so easily.

 

[Zen]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TAEJA D:

 

[Syf]

WTF taeja :/

 

[Majine]

Wat.

 

[Zen]

What the fuck
Seriously....

 

[kasane]

COME THE FUCK ON

 

[-COOLIO-]

"i was going to say someone else, but im not sure if its appropriate yet; i think it's too soon."

loool

 

[Majine]

Matchfixing!

 

[kasane]

Naniwa is pregnant thats why hes having mood swings

 

[Aaron]

Ouch. Taeja, how is the soundproofing in your booth?

 

[Zen]

People have mentioned that lately Taeja had been leaving games very early against Protoss. It is like he is becoming Idra, he does not even want to try.

 

[DerZuhälter]

Even Geoff would have delivered better games today than some of the participants.

 

[Zen]

This is really a massive disservice to the scene and the huge crowd in attendance who clearly are passionate about the game.

 

[kasane]

Protoss ruining terran real lives
