Quantic Gaming made a short documentary on their Protoss player Johan "Naniwa" Lucchesi. Naniwa talks on his time at the StarTale house, the events at the BlizzardCup and the lessons learned from it.

In December 2011, Naniwa's story following his game against NesTea at the GomTV Blizzard Cup was one of the most extensively discussed topics in the eSports world as after scoring three losses in a row in his group the Swedish Protoss did a 7-probe rush in a match without meaning to the tournament. His actions quickly led to heated disputes within the community, with the drama escalating even further as Naniwa had his Code S spot revoked.

One month after the incident, Naniwa sat in front of Quantic's camera for a 5-minute documentary to share what changed for him since that day.

- "Now I want to play for the fans, too. I want to play for the foreign scene, I guess, in general. That's what kind of change for me personally. It changed the way I think."
