good rules, i hate ceremonies, they are pros after all its about time they started acting professional

ITS AN ENTERTAINMENT business. Professional means jack shit you don't watch tv to see professionals if you wanted that watch the news. You don't watch a sport for professional behavior you watch for good plays and ENTERTAINMENT.


So there is no entertainment in Nadal vs Federer for instance? You don't get much more professional and entertaining than that (or money/tv-coverage).

Seems like a weird decision to make about the ceremonies. Who is getting offended here? Why did they do this, this is only gonna get them less viewers.

At least this only counts for PL.

Maybe someting was lost in the translation. "Offensive" is broad, and I'm not really sure if FBH antics count.

I was wondering that too.

Much's heart - not offensive
go.go building CC's in people's bases/Best building nexii in go.go's bases - borderline, a grey area like FBH antics
Typing EZ in pylons and sharing vision - I'd consider that offensive

So say I was Best and I just beat Flash in the PL and I type EZ in pylons. Do I get fined/punished/whatevered?

Do you also find it offensive when people beat you on iccup and keep making units even though they already won? Just curious

I believe they'll deduct points from your team's PL score... they did it before, but i cant remember for what offense.

You guys are over reacting. I'm nearly positive they are only referring to offensive, as in race/religion/belief ect.

It would be so pimp if Savior beat FBH and did some real payback regardless the new ruling that him getting punished by KeSPA would make it even more pimp.

The problem is that it is extremely unprobable that Savior will not win a game against anybody in the 15 next year.

How is that comparable at all. (this is rhetorical please for the love of god don't reply)

hint: Try to find the motives for these 2 completely different scenarios and see how wrong you are.

The whole Samsung team brought about this knee jerk reaction from Kespa, because of their way over the top displays in the recent Pro League Finals. The ceremonies will of course continue, but Kespa is reminding the teams and players that they don't appreciate some of the antics.

The checking of equipment rule probably came from the noticeable tendency of players to pause the game when they are caught off guard by an opponent's tactic, and then say they have an equipment problem to give themselves a moment to think things over. Kespa should have some guts and start penalizing players when it looks like an obvious play for time.

Maybe this ceremony thing is just meant as a precaution in case someone decides to come up with a particulary offensive ceremony and the PL is held responsible.

Aside from FBH, how is TT flexing his manly body and Stork running around shirtless considered to be over the top? Those are pretty valid non-bm ceremonies imo.

I imagine stork running around shirtless would be something pretty terrible to behold. Girls make up a high % of the fanbase they probably want to keep them.

Glad I hardly ever watch proleague lol.

Everyone's standards are different, but to me the performances taken as a whole in that instant seemed petty, since they rolled an obviously inferior team with back to back displays that lost all semblance of being special. In the end I'm fine with Samsung taking up gymnastics, since it will be one of them that kills all the physical display nonsense when they break something.

Offensive - Something that offends.
From a judging, non-emotional standpoint, how is striping and jumping into the water offensive?

Your arguing with yourself at this point so I'll end it here.
