Isn't coca out of code S for throwing meaningless game in an online tournament?

byun is also sitting out of gsl for it

it wasnt a meaningless game, it was for coda a/s seed

wrong. there was no deal for that tournament, nothing was on the line.

Eh, there is a code A seed and a 150$ pricepool.

Mr. Chae posted himself saying there was nothing on the line as they hadn't worked out a new deal.

It wasn't? I seem to remember it being after the announcement of the Code A spot. But ok then. Still 150$.

It was not even the finals of an 150$ online tournament, sounds pretty meaningless for me. He is out of the GSL for that.

This is the first time I have actually felt like the Korean community don't deserve any respect at all.

If it was a Korean losing three times to cheese there would be the same comments but more along the lines of:

LOLOLOL STUPID FOREIGNERS CAN'T BEAT US IN REAL GAMES

They talk about professionalism while showing none themselves on this issue.


Uh, you do Koreans have nothing but the upmost respect for foreigners.... who also show respect.

Koreans WORSHIPPED Guillame Patry. They also respect Huk and recognize him as one of the best (if not the best) Protoss players.

Those players should get better and qualify.


They didn't qualify because they lacked the finances/opportunities to participate in all the tournaments Naniwa has. This is backed up by Naniwa's mediocre record in Korea, showing that Naniwa isn't worthy of a tournament that's supposed to have the best 10 players in the world.

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2011_MLG_Global_Invitational

You look like you're desperately trying to justify your overreaction. Just chill. Nobody will judge you, I mean you didn't worker rush, did you?


Great! One tournament where he doesn't win!

Now let me cite another tournament. It's called the Blizzard Cup (0-4). Oh wait, let me cite another tournament. Code A GSL August (0-2). And yet another tournament... Code A October (0-2). And Code A November (0-2).


MLG Dallas (24-2)
MLG Providence - 2nd
TSL 3 - 2nd
Blizzcon EU invitational - 2nd
Homestory cup 2 & 3 - 2nd/2nd

And as far as being "worhty" of being in this tournament; yes, the results said 0-3 before the Nestea match, but those were hard earned wins for his opponents, EVEN when they were completely unscouted build order win cheeses.

To be fair its not just the swedish fans, its all the naniwa fanatics, however I imagine that if Naniwa stabbed Nestea on stream the response would look something like this:

After Naniwa stabs Nestea right before a deciding game, a Defensive Naniwa Fan wrote:

Come on guys, I know it was a little extreme, but I think its a legitimate strategy, I mean by making sure Nestea can no longer compete he guarantees himself a spot in the finals. Also, there is nothing in the rules that says that you *can't* brutally eviscerate your opponent to make sure you get a spot in the finals. This is just Naniwa exploring other avenues of play. The Koreans are just upset because he is a foreigner and he made sure Nestea won't win. Get over it, Naniwa FIGHTING!


also, blame GOMTV for not making the booths more secure

You can find numerous other instances of Pro gamers doing something equally as dumb or stupid...

But what makes this special is where it happened.

I'm sure there are a lot of people who poke fun at the pope, I do it sometimes when the opportunity presents it self but there is a time and a place and you certainly DON'T want to do something like that whilst you are in the middle of the Sistine Chapel around people who would get offended by even the smallest off hand joke.

I know in MLG there have been games where people have decided the outcome with an actual coin flip, but this didn't happen at MLG, this happened in Korea during an important match

It is okay to be angry but it is even more important to use your darn brain.

I'm still a fan of Naniwa, but fan support isn't going to get him out of what hes got himself into

Sry, throwing a game like that is match fixing.

He could've just said "I forfeit". Oh wait, he couldn't.

Take it as the joke it is. Naniwa doesn't deserve all the shit he gets every day, and we don't know his reasoning behind that either. He probably was frustrated about the previous matches and tired.

He didn't probe rush, he intentionally threw his workers away . He took his hands off the keyboard and let them die, he didn't micro them or try to win at all. He lost on purpose. You keep trying to make it seem like his thought process was, "Well I'm desperate to win at least one game, so I'll try this and see if it works" when it was more along the lines of "I don't give a shit about this, just gonna a-move my drones and let them die so I can get this over with."

It's pretty obvious that after you lost 3 games and basically all hope and you're still forced to play a game you CAN get quite frustrated.

Thats not at all what I'm trying to say.

What he did was nothing else than just forfeiting. And yea it kinda was a dick move but what the heck, people do it all the time with 6 pools, proxy 2gates and everything. Or they simply just forfeit. Naniwa now took his workers to do that and suddenly he is the worst progamer ever.

At least he played WITHIN THE RULES, unlike other pro players who got their pitchforks up against him.

I don't think he deserves the self righteous bullshit of the people here, but hes deserves every bit of fury hes getting from the Korean community.

The match meant nothing to either of the players - much like someone forfeiting a 7-8th place game at MLG or something of that ilk.

Something IdrA has done at pretty much every MLG but has never received criticism for.


The games weren't being televised in the biggest Esports country in the world. He was supporting his team mate. They weren't the center of attention.

Proxy 2 gates or something. What he did was just disrespectful to the tournament.

I think - for some reason - a lot of people are failing to note something about the Korean mentality.

What is the one line THEY ALL SAY in interviews? 'I hope to give good games'.

I don't consider a games with 5 rax of one base, proxy-stuff, rushed 2-port-banshee and whatever to be good, yet the same guys are gfiving these games.
It's just formal bullshit just as whenever a player leaves the team it's the same boring "didn't fit our style, great man, good luck in future" and how every new team is "an experience to broaden my skill as a player and an oppertunity to become better".


I don't think calling out the GSL curse in a live interview is just formal stuff.

I can't think of any korean players with Naniwa's attitude or anything approaching it. The closest would be some of the top GSL players pulling wacky builds in matches they don't care about, like in the World Championships when Cella tweeted asking the fans what builds they wanted his players to use. They still play out the games and go for it, though.

What Naniwa did is just foreign - so to speak - to the entire Korean mentality of SC.
I'm not bad at Starcraft; I just think winning's rude.

This is HILLARIOUS! You all know it and love it! I dont think you should compare him with Zlatan. Zlatan is a cheater with no manner, no values, greedy, selfish, stupid son of a bitch.

Oh my god. Im just gonna leave this discussion now because this is getting way out of hand. Way to many people here that take this too serious and overreact like drama-queens as usual.

NaNiwa didn't murder anyone. He just pulled his probes.

Just waiting for some moron to say: "omg Sweden is such a bad country with evil people they are so bad mannered yada yada yada".

Like a fucking witch hunt.

No he's definitely mad in Korean.


ok, to me naniwa didn't let anyone down but nestea, so if someone should be mad it's him. Since i think he was looking for revenge. Don't really understand why fans and other gamers have a problem with it.
