My only problem is that the punishment doesn't fit the 'crime'. Punishment should be proportional to the offence.

GOM is protecting the professional image of the game.

It wont suffer an embarrasing game just because some kid was having a bad day

who is GOM to define rules of esports? they may have best skill but it doesn't mean they must be the rolemodel for esports. GOM wants GSL to be global tournament, but when someone doesn't exactly fit in their mindset (without breaking any "real" rule) they feel offended because of their personal/cultural background ... and so they find rule that is so general that they can refer to (that rule they applied is really ridiculous)

We can just hope there will be some global body governing SC2 tournament rules in the future


(there are many occasions when player/team doesn't play to win, just to get better seeding in next stage of competition .. they just don't state it that way afterwards .... I don't see any way how to deal with this with some kind of rule and then I am not completely sure if it is really problem)



Who is GOM to define the rules of their own tournament!?

he was refering to GOM as saviour of professional image of the game as whole ....

and in process of doing that GOM disqualified themselves by applying rule that you can broke just by looking at somebody wrong way, if they decide so

sorry for bad english

1) they never gave him the seed in the first place. he was being considered for it. the seeds were officially announced around the same time this was
2)mattered to the fans, which is why sponsors pay naniwa/gsl
3)you at least try to make it look like you care. even a little bit. if i know you hate my guts but you treat me with at least an amount of respect, then i wouldnt care. if you spit on my face and insult me, be prepared for a fight.
4)behaviour which fans like and promotes competition. there is a difference


so this thing naniwa did (and got a pretty severe punishment for) would be totally justified if it promoted competition? You can't be serious... Come... On.

This sets such a dangerous precedent, because it gives GOM the ability to pretty much do whatever the fuck they want without having to justify it with rules. And all this talk about Naniwa respecting Korean culture. It isn't like he gets a fucking brochure when he gets off the plane to say "oh yea, you have to pretend to try in meaningless games". He was in a situation, which he interpreted like he would another (with a Swedish cultural influence, because you know, he is Swedish). Not only did he not break any rules, he actually caused no one harm. Let us pretend that it wasn't Naniwa but some up and coming player. That means he would have had to buy a Korean plane ticket and plan out his next three months (Code S is now two months) only to get kicked out for something so inconsequential and not even break any rules. They would have royally screwed him over.

Punishment without the support of the law is infinitely more disgusting and pathetic than what Naniwa did.

Gom ( and koreans in general ) is acting ridiculous in this one.

He would have deserved a punishment if he refused to play or didnt showed up, because obviously he agreed on tournament system and playing those games no matter what.

But you can not punish a player because of what he did in game. He showed up, he played the game as he promised. He's not under any obligations to play it as Chae or fans wants. It's his game to win/lose or to do some silly thing. If he was a zerg and six pooled, no one would have cared. Does six pooling means/shows you care about game more than that?

What naniwa did was rather silly but punishing him for that in totally nonsense. I really hope this will turn back to them somehow, someway ( ticket sales or whatever )

All of you saying he did nothing wrong: Really? There is a copy of the rule they referred to in the topic.

He broke their rule. He broke their cultural rule. It was blatant and uncalled for. There was zero reason for him to be so disrespectful to the tournament.

Yeah, the tournament shouldn't have had the inconsequential games and with how everyone is reacting I don't think we will see anymore of those in the future. What the players needed and what the community needed to happen was exactly this: "Giving Naniwa a slap on the hand and saying 'No, bad Naniwa'" -iNcontroL

What Naniwa did wasn't only idiotic, it was disrespectful. This was the appropriate response. This wouldn't have happened if he did what 99.9% of people would have done in his situation, which is to 4gate.

Im happy with this decision. Anyone in any other sport would have been punished for this action. There are tons of players that would kill someone to get a chance to play a game on that grand of a stage vs. a player like Nestea. Im a fan of Hero, and it was breaking my heart watching him not play his best. But he still tried. You could see how upset he was, but he handled it like a pro, took his lumps, and still PLAYED the game, because thats what he signed up for. We pay money to watch the tournament, not to watch someone not give a shit. If this happened at a pro sporting event, fans would be outraged. The fact that people support his behaviour is completely mind boggling.

I think the punishment is very fit for what he did.


EXCEPT NOT, first of all, when the NFL season comes to an end, when the MLS season comes to an end, when the NBA season comes to an end, and even when the NHL season comes to an end the teams play half assed. They put out their benched players, this has been said many times. Last year, when Allen Iverson refused to play on the Memphis Grizzlies basketball team, he didn't get kicked out without payment or contractual agreement, he received his money, had a disagreement and when the contract ended, he left. The league didn't say, "oh well you aren't being very professional so you don't get any money," instead they kept their noses out of it, which was the correct decision. In the NHL, goalies don't always try at the end of the season if they have no chance. In the NFL benched players, especially the QB will be played if the team hs NO shot at getting into the playoffs. MLS and soccer in general this happens all the time where some big ego player won't try because he hates his team or something happened. GOM has overstepped their bounds by kicking him without a defined reason that isn't an insult. Mr. Chae has overstepped his bounds by lowering himself to less than Nani by simply insulting Nani . I don't watch GOM because its too late at night for me, but i'll be sure to not watch them for a while forsure. This is not how a league reacts and THEY need to grow the fuck up.


that is a pretty good parallel. iverson refuses to play and loses the contract he otherwise would have had. naniwa refuses to play and loses a code s seed he would have had.
gomtv did NOT announce code s seeds before this. naniwa was merely being considered for it, but got taken out of the equation because of his behaviour. he can still compete in the gsl and win it if he is good enough.
so many people misunderstanding what gom is doing.. lol

Kespa would have revoked Naniwa's licence. GomTv is extremely easy-going, problem is most spoiled child on the forums don't realize how fait GomTV was.


With Kespa this wouldn't happend, sad but true.

I don't get it. He played the game, he didn't gg right away without doing anything... so where do you draw the line? If he had cannon rushed, would that be ok? What if he did a 3-gate zealot rush? Or what if he built up to 10 probes and then attacked with all of them... would that be ok?

Where do you draw the line?

behaviour which fans like and promotes competition. dont take random quotes out of context. but yeah if it did (except it does the extreme opposite) then it can probably be justified. also he didnt get a severe punishment. he just didnt get a code s seed that gomtv was previously CONSIDERING him for. he can still play the preliminaries and get in if he is good enough.

agreed. I don't know if they have a walk-over choise. But if they don't these games are going to happend in the future. Even if the games are 3 minutes or 20 minutes, the player who wants to leave will not preform anyways so, i don't see the big deal. Especially in games that doesn't matter such as this.

for naniwa's case it doesnt matter where you draw the line. it's 100% obvious from his actions in game, his physical demeanor while playing this game out, and the post game interview that he threw this match and wasnt sorry he did it.
we dont need to consider ifs because this is a clear cut case in and of itself...

Seriously for those deriding Naniwa. Who the fuck are you? So what you paid a ticket, that makes Naniwa or any player your puppet? How does that somehow make them lose their agency. They have to put up a show for you because you put money down?? He threw a game. That's his damn decision. His to make, not a bunch of spectators. Are we going to institute now, you must make this many buildings before we call it a legit game?

There's now a rule, you have to play, you have to dance, you have to fight???? That's damn players domain. He doesn't have to do shit for anyone, as long as he's not breaking any rules. He got to where he is because of his efforts and its his damn choice where he directs those efforts. Not you and certianly not an institution.

Can you imagine if this happened in any other professional sport? I see American NFL football teams with literally no chance of making playoffs go out and play their hardest and show great games trying to upset teams every week. At a finer granularity, I've never seen a football team down 30+ points in the fourth quarter just stop playing. That goes for any sport.
There's no rule in the NFL saying a football team can't just go out and blatantly throw the game for an entire quarter. Yet to do it would be a ridiculous disgrace to the league and certainly would cause an upset and punishment.
Thinking of it like that, GOM's decision makes a lot more sense. For a sport to be taken seriously players need to have a competitors attitude, and want to win at every opportunity.

Do a strategy that involves a % higher then 0% to win i guess.
