While I understand that there's a need to discuss this matter, this thread has way too many trash posts in it. Please think carefully about what you want to say. Ad hominem attacks on Swedish people in general, calling you fellow Starcraft fans idiots etc etc will be dealt with with harsher punishment from here on out. Keep it civil people. Page 230: Here's some more stuff that'll get you banned! - Conspiracy theory mongering about MLG and GOM - Comparing people to Hitler - Posting useless one liners of arguments that have already been repeated ad nauseum. | ||

But how can they do this to Nani saying his behaviour was unproffessional, when GSL themselves are beeing soooooo fucking unproffessional when they call him "amateur money hunter" So much for the korean culter. Terrible decision, and I have no respect for GSL/Korea atm Oh. Flaming an entire country and culture for the actions taken by one company. Thats going to make you look like the true "proffessional" here. NaniWa was invited to the Blizzard Cup, and was paid to play and provide games. He didn't do so and spat in the face of the fans as a result. Did anyone read the LR after it happened?

If there were betting lines out of these matches it's absolutely unacceptable regarding that as well. I doubt Naniwa researched that so it's morally the same decision. | ||

Oh, come on, you know very well that naniwa is very driven and certainly competitive. Part of the reason why he's so emotional is that he wants to win so badly. I'm guessing you have some experience with naniwa being a bit of a dick in germany, but a lack of passion doesn't really seem to fit the bill. | ||

If i want to watch the best of the best i will wait for MLG...not GSL. I evaded the bigest waste of money i could have possibly made. They won...they wanted a "korean wonderland" and they got it. Good luck with your viewer database. | ||

During a match, a player shall not offend the opponent or audience with abusive behaviours That normally has to include Manner Mules Marine dancing and nearly all ceremonies so i don't think the reasoning is valid | ||

And why dont GOM just tell the players before what happens if they do stuff like that.. AND no im not saying this because im from Sweden... just saying this because i think its just so shitty by GOM.. Yeah, that is western behaviour. If you don't get any profit just go home and do something else more productive. But I think our asian friends don't like it. They prefer to say "yes" or "maybe" when they should clearly say "no". | ||

But after this over reaction and "sponsor seeds" which are incredibly stupid and just a way for more foreign views the GSL just doesnt seem as legit anymore. Mind letting us know which tournaments are more legit than? | ||

And I'm not even going to go into the whole "Was Naniwa right or wrong" debate. 1. The punishment is WAY to harsh. He earned that Code S spot fair and square. Sure, take a away his price money from the Blizzard Cup and give him a warning, but Code S is a totally different event, and should not be affected by this. 2. To make the GSL even more of a farce, they just randomly invites Sen to Code S? What has he done to deserve that? I did not realize that professional Starcraft was a popularity contest, but as of late it sure seems like it is. What about all the players in Korea working their asses off dreaming to play in Code S, and Gom just randomly gives people free invites to foreigner on a whim. At least have the decency to hold some sort of qualifier to that Code S spot if you necessarily have to go and ban people. 3. The "rule" that they are referring to that Naniwa supposedly broke, if the most vague thing I have ever seen, and could be used for banning any player, at any time, should Gom feel like it. This is not a professional way to go about things. If you are going to punish someone, at least give a good fucking reason to do so. Sigh. I don't want to rant any more, but I just thought that GomTV would be more professional than this. They had the perfect opportunity to take the high road, and show everyone that they don't care about pointless drama, but instead they chose to abuse their power and take it down to a lower level than I even thought possible. Good job making professional starcraft a farce. 1. Hardly harsh at all, just because Naniwa fought exceptionally hard to earn Code S does not make his punishment more harsh. Had he been a Korean he probably would have been perma banned. 2. They are trying to promote the global aspect, Sen has done well in the Korea vs World tournament before. 3. They probably wouldn't have enforced that rule if they didn't receive the amount of complaints that they did. | ||

If anything they accommodated and lessen their professionalism by accommodating foreign players who were not as skillful to be in the GSL. | ||
