I get the feeling that we really shouldn't be martyring the incident, especially after the apologies of Naniwa, Quantic, and all the negative reactions from the fans. I think the ESPORTS community would benefit more if we just let it end with those apologies, instead of encouraging people to emulate Naniwa's actions, which he himself admitted were wrong.
Apologies that didn't even come till a few days after the whole thing erupted....
Just stop it with this whole esports crap, minor drama like this keeps things fresh and attracts more people to the scene giving it a weight of legitimacy, like that soccer(football) team walking off after some drunken fan tried to attack their goalie and he got ejected for defending himself.

People need to stop thinking about ESPORTS and more about whats right and wrong, I'd welcome an article into the incident as its obviously something that should be talked about in a logical, thought out way (read: not 20000 page thread with racism, whining and more general abuse). Sweeping such an oversight by GOM (and a harsh reaction based on no real rules) reminds me of something that might occur in Stalinist Russia or Mao China, giving GOM a free ride shouldn't be what comes out of this incident.
GOM didn't make any mistakes. Naniwa act stupidely. They need no rules to revoke invitations from THEIR tournaments.
It would be hilarious if a league has a rule that states something like "behaviour which destroys our show will not be tolerated". You will always find something which is not in the rules one to one.
The fact is that Naniwas behaviour was not acceptable. So GOM reacted and gave him a punishment which he deserved. If it was too harsh is another story.

Nice artwork! Would indeed be a shame to not make it available.

Woo another xmas pressie for my backgrounds folder. Thank you 
|
sick dude. I love those wallpapers
|
Wallpapered ! No idea why i love this picture but it will be on the desk for a few days.
|
wow thats a sick picture! I think i'll use it as a background for my phone!
|
Awesome stuff ... very dynamic pose and setup. Did you use a real photo reference of Naniwa to trace the vector?
|
Someone I have never met said something that does not concern me at all and will have absolutely no impact on my life. I must rage over the intertubes.
|
That is so sick, wallpaper worthy!
*edit* I would buy that as a shirt.

I'm sure someone can do something better/more creative, but here's a quick 1920x1080 that I made for myself:

Right. I forgot that GOM TV was a Country and not a corporation. Companies do not have to enforce free speech, equal rights, etc, etc - they only have to enforce what their contracts bind them to. If they are incorrect in their assessment of the situation, then Naniwa can/should sue. As it is, they are within their legal rights as a corporation, and if Naniwa wants to compete in GSL then he can/should apologize (which he did). Did he have to apologize? No. Just like he doesn't have to compete in GSL. There, the logical explanation. For the sake of eSports  . OT: Nice art OP, but I don't agree with the message. He's not an oppressed people throwing Molotov cocktails at the fascist regime.
If GOM want to be taken seriously as a sporting organisation they need to enforce their rules, not rules the make up whenever something they don't like occurs. That was my point. GOM did do something wrong when they decided to arbitrarily punish based on nothing. The only reason that GOM isn't receiving more criticism is because of the masses of zealous GOMites who can see no wrong in the organisation.
Also my point about Facist countries was probably not a good example but was merely meant to point out a lack of accountability.
