To me, the worst part of this is the way that GOM completely sidesteps any responsibility. When naniwa and Hero threw their games, it was due to the flawed format of the tournament. Having a bad tournament-system produces perverse incentives. We saw the result of that. GOM fails to acknowledge their own part in what has happened, and instead puts all blame on one player. That is not the way to do it.


when did hero throw a game ?


Cannon a zerg after spawning pool is done, putting cannons in the middle, not microing your warp prism at all.

Throw is strong, but really playing for no reason. Naniwa just sped it up.

LOL gom ought to think this through, dont just listen to korean netizens voices. Sure what naniwa did was wrong but he didnt deserve the ban. A lot of viewers from EU are gonna drop for GSL if he isnt playing, because even if they hate him, they still want to see europeans in GSL.

this stupid. Don't make players play meaningless matches. It such a big culture difference. In the West, we expect and take into account the emotions of the players and expect our foreign players to be more emotional. In Korea, they're not used to these types of reactions from their native players.


This is really disappointing.

Right when you thought Naniwa's career couldn't hit any more speedbumps. :/

Sad for both Nani and the foreign scene, not taking any sides.

I don't think a punishment should be out of the question, but a BAN for not breaking any official rules isn't appropriate.

There's not playing your heart out and then there's taking a proverbial piss on the people organising a tournament. People who keep trying to compare it to a sports team sending out its b-teamers or saying its the same as cheese are apologists. Anyway, Gom has ruled against it, so it's over.

The only way to respond is to show them that you disagree with them, e-mail them and tweet them. But be polite!

No, this is common for Korea culture. They take respect and pride as much as Japanese. If they don't do this, there is no way they can explain to Korean audiences.

They explain that he did not break any rules and that they will endeavor to make sure situations like this never occur.

You do NOT punish a player who broke no rules because what he did isn't part of their "culture". This is possibly one of the most unprofessional things I have ever heard of a company doing.


Yeah, GOM could do better by setting up a new rule and not punish yet but you have to turn the chess board around.

The most important audience of GOM would be Korean audiences. If GOM does not do anything, an outrage in Korea would be more likely to ruin GOM. They cannot risk it, especially when they want to establish the stronger base there.

This. He broke no rules.

I will not be buying a new GSL ticket for next in protest. Not because it's Naniwa, but because this incredibly unprofessional and bad decision making, blaming someone else for their own lacking format.

This is actually absurd. If he broke a rule I would be behind this. He didn't technically quit he did a stupid strat that has close to a 0% chance of winning but he did nothing wrong by the Rules...

I hope a better tournament than the GSL will come in Korea with clearer rules, because this is utter bullshit.

Start at 18:50.

Makes me sick that everyone is saying that Naniwa is an amateur prize hunter or only in it for the money. It's very clear what his goals are and what he wants out of the game. I understand the difference in culture here but in a culture that prides themselves so very much on respect they need to stop saying such fucking disrespectful things about Naniwa,

Good to hear.

Naniwa is a terrible representative for the foreign scene, he may have done nothing wrong, but he's always doing something else wrong. I hope more tournaments catch onto this.

He did something that other players did, some of them in games that actually did matter in others standing, just in a more blatant way. He broke no rules and gets ban, the only reason their is support is that many hate naniwa. If this is the case where is hero's ban or more deservedly coca?

Won't be paying for gom stream anymore will just stick to restreams so they get none of my money.

I don't know if Naniwa deserves an official punishment, but he definitely deserves a rebuke from Gom, and the disapproval of the sc2 community. A lot of people stayed up to watch his game vs Nestea, and he wasted all of their time. Not only that, he lowered the entertainment value of Gom TVs production, and showed them a lot of disrespect. If he didn't want to play, he should have just forfeited to show his disapproval. GomTV is completely within their rights to do something, I just hope their punishment isn't too harsh.
If all you're offering is Dos Equis, I will stay thirsty thank you very much.
