Gorush made a mistake, what are you gonna do? You have to enforce your rules so people will take it seriously.

GoRush didn't really break the rules so much if you interpret the rule reasonably (game 2). Furthermore, the problem is that the rule itself sucks.

Yeah, imagine the uproar if the referee hadn't disqualified GoRush for typing a. Progamers, knowing that they can now type a and get away with it, would all start typing a. It would be anarchy.

The rule says don't type anything other than gg GG or pp/ppp. If you want to take this progaming thing to the next level, you gotta hold everyone to the same standard, so there's gonna be rules like this. And since it's still new, people are gonna fumble, test the waters, whatever.

You can't just understand this from your own "sitting at home playing" angle. It doesn't matter to you, but pros get paid to be pros. You don't wanna make a mistake in the game, so don't make a mistake pregame. It's not that hard to not press enter.

How about not having a stupid rule to enforce in the first place or at least not have the penalty a full disqualification.

They kinda already did following the rule change when Pure and a few other guys typed something else. They let it pass and ppl kept doing it.

Since the rules are made to avoid another backho/firefist so ppl know what to do, this is a coaching issue now. Make sure your players know the rules, practice the right maps, etc.

I'm not sure how "only being allowed to type "gg", "GG", "pp", and "ppp" help at all to avoid another preemptive gg controversy.

If you think it does, then I have to question your thinking capabilities.

I dunno who you talking to, but here's your answer.

It's not suppose to "avoid" it, it's suppose to have the rule in place so the refs know how to call it when it happens.

Simple, if you preemptively gg, you lose. If you ziziyO you lose by forfeit.

I love these people who come here specifically to argue against anti-KeSPA sentiment, and then try to figure out an argument after that.

Nice work shutting him down koreasilver ^^

Oh my god, here's the answer in baby talk. I suggest you listen up cus this is remedial.

backho/firefist problem is not preemptive gg itself, it's having no rule in place to give a fair and balanced call for a situation that isn't your standard GG.

solution? standardize the GG. allow no other texting.

Any nub can be anti-establishment. I suggest you use ur brain a bit.

they should impliment like a two strike rule.. first time you type something you get a warning, 2nd time its disqualify.. that would weed out the mistake typings i think.

The fuck are you talking about. Progamers have been typing "gg", "GG", "ㅈㅈ", "ㅎㅎ", "지지", "zizi" and many more followed by the "요" or yO or y0 if they chose to.

The issue was that our favourite dumbass gg'ed before his opponent when he was clearly winning. It has always been common etiquette for the loser to type out first. The controversy was over backho typing out first, not over him saying "zizi y0".

Making a rule that players may only say "gg" or "GG" for typing out does not address the main issue of the backho/firefist controversy at all.

I suggest you read this over about five times, because it seems like your mental capabilities are rather suspect.
