I saw a worker rush from a certain bw protoss and everybody thought he was a genius for winning it. Obviously done with more style and flair than naniwa's but this has been done before + Show Spoiler +
I know Naniwa lost but when you send all your workers at the start of the game generally you are SUPPOSED to lose.

this must be why all the BW guys tell me that BW competitions are better, with less cheese. In BW the worker rush is only 66% as strong since you start with less workers.

Also in BW people don't randomly decide to throw a game no matter how dramatic it would be. Throwing a game like this in Proleague = insta-paycut.


How can you possibly think that comparison is fair? Proleague is designed to not have any games be meaningless.


if a team is locked into last place then all of their remaining games will be meaningless

sponsors wouldn't look kindly on throwing games. Let's not say throwing games, as that is more related to the betting scandal, etc. this is more of a case of "not giving a fuck" and putting 0 effort, and using a strat not likely to win at all. You could proxy 2 gate or 4 gate or whatever with same attitude yet those have a chance at winning. 12 drone rush can win as well, or worker rushing a terran and trying to stop barracks/supply depots from building, but no one is expected to win pvz with a probe rush ever.

so that's a pretty big deal; if you're a professional being sponsored by a company, you are expected to represent that sponsorship and act according to the code of conduct a professional would be--regardless of whether it's an ESPORT or golf or 0-15 detroit lions or whatever the fuck it is.

that's what being a professional is, if you're sponsored by something other than your own money.
