All of this imo, is a symptom of a bigger problem... I cannot help but to think that the pro-gamers are being exploited for the facts that they're all mostly kids in their teenage years, and most of them are incapable of standing up for themselfs. Players aren't even allowed to protest against referees decision? Its time for an e-sports revolutions imo...

I also support the notion that someone should create a players union. This is getting ri-god-damn-diculous.

I think it's time that the players realize that KESPA needs them, not only the other way around. Heck, do they even need KESPA? They should really demostrate against this in some way. Some kind of strike or simply everyone agrees to type "a" in the beginning of the games.

So you're saying that KeSPA is incapable of determining what chat is and is not offensive? Are you kidding? It's not very difficult to determine what is rude or inappropriate...and yes, I'm pretty sure KeSPA knows what "1a2a3a" means, the hotkeys for StarCraft are no different in Korea than they are anywhere else.

You gotta be kidding me. Of course I think that KeSPA knows what "1a2a3a" means. But internet flames develop faster than anything and nobody knows what stupid bullshit will be next. Also, with foreigners coming along you'll have different languages and different offensive slang to check up on.

I'm not defending what happened to GoRush, because I think he had valid reasoning for typing "a" and the opponent should not be distracted by that. I think the Refs decision was poor, especially if you think that the only reason to disqualify someone for chat according to KeSPA is if someone uses anything other than "GG" or "gg" to give up. The game had only just started, which means he wasn't giving up.

Of course, the Ref can still disqualify people for inappropriately asking for a pause (so "sex sex pussyhair" is not a valid request for pause), but to disqualifying someone for accidently typing a, when he had a very valid reason to hit Enter->a in the first placed and just forgot to hit Escape instead of Enter when it's all up to the judge is not only stupid, it's not taking the responsibilty a judge has.

Agreed, he doesn't deserve this shit after becoming one of ACE's first to make the ro36. Certainly everyone has accidentally typed into the chat once in a while by accident just by regular play. How the fuck can a typo change a game in any way? Don't they have anything better to do with their lives then to ruin people's careers?

Anyhow, I didn't really know what sig to put for this site, but now I do. Progaming has survived easily for the last what? 9 years without these ridiculous rules.
