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.

Pro-gamer as an occupation is not a job where you just play games between other pro players. Corporations sponsor us because the existence of fans make e-sports a product that we are trying to create. But I believe the behaviour from Naniwa yesterday was such a behaviour that betrayed and looked down on the fans. I hope he thinks about what he did and do not play a game like that again."
From MC MC is pretty much spot on. He cares about his fans, his job and has RESPECT for other people. I hope NaNi will learn from his mistakes, he will earn his respect back if he trains hard, acts respectful towards GOM and works his way through Code A again.
Mc is completly off...
" I have heard that he threw away the game because it doesn't benefit himself"
Thats just not true.. Did you read the interviews etc?? Nani didnt want to play because he felt like he couldnt give his all and show his best match and didnt want to do some half asses games just because he has to.
Soo sad for nani >.<

But the people who are glad that it happened are just plain pathetic. I hope you get warned for your ignorance. Naniwa brought shame on the foreign scene as a whole with his decision. Am I alone in feeling embarrassed as a foreigner?
no. right clicking a drone with all ur probes...not what i wanted to see when i was cheering for naniwa

if im a player and lets say bomber lands mules during battles and i feel offended, does that mean bomber is banned?
if im a player and lets say MC taunts or gives me a thumbs down and i feel offended, does that mean MC is banned?
what a joke.
Wait so idra had a legit beef all along with being insulted by terrans and their abusive play?

The problem is, you can't build a viewer sport business on only people that care about seeing high quality play. You think everyone watching soccer or hockey care about high quality play? Nah, they want to see their team/country fight it out, and probably have a brew.
If GOM and Starcraft 2 is gonna get big, they gonna have to stop with these nonsensical posh decisions, and start thinking about what the majority of the viewers want.

Wow, that's seriously way too harsh.
It's a shame that Naniwa did that in the first place... and it's their tournaments, they can do what they want, and I know that... but seriously, for a single offense, revoking is seed, using THAT rule that have nothing to do about it?

Oh and the irony in GOM even using the word "amateur" when they were the ones who stored passwords in plain text documents having thousends of users worry about their credit card information.

The argument that the korean culture is like this is fine, if they are living by their own rules. 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.
I dont know if you just didnt watch Blizzard Cup or you are jus chosing to ignore the fact that Naniwa did play really good 3 matches that he lost Why 99% of people ignore that fact and just keep shitting on Naniwa for stupid and pointless game against Nestea ? I could even bet if that game was vs lets say Polt - no one would say anything about this. Its just this stupid shit that some people build around Nestea some sort of zealous religion. Nestea is just another player of many out there. Deal with that fact and stop treating him like holly cow.

And yes. It is their culture and their country and their company and their tournament. But if they pretend to be "global" that mean that they should step up and stand above their culture to truly represent global SC2 community and pro players. A decision based "because we are in south korea and we are koreans" mean that they failed to do so.
Also calling it Korean Star League is not an insult. It just points out where - in my opinion - problem is located. It's not an insult and in fact Korean Starcraft League would still be superior to any other. But it will show us - non-koreans - that we are outsiders, both as spectators and players (obviously I'm the former, not the latter).
Are you aware that by saying that they should stand above their culture to be global, you are implying that their culture is somehow below the rest of the world?

Did you read all the GomTV rules then ?

Completely disgraceful move by GOM.
They never should have forced the player to play matchest that doesn't matter in the first place, it's like forcing someone to play the third game in a best of 3 when they've already lost the first two.

Except it does fly. Naniwa got what he deserved. He was unprofessional and disrespectful. Punishment is completely justified.

GSL is a business, naniwa is paid to play the tournament and is expected to act like a professional sportsman, especially important if he is to be playing professionally in korea.
People pay to watch GSL, the maps and games were determined beforehand. Even if the game was pointless, so many people wanted to see Naniwa vs Nestea as its just a great matchup, especially with the rivalry. Then naniwa throws it and disappoints everyone who paid for the season pass, despite nani getting guaranteed prize money from the tourney.
At the very least you owe it to your fans to play the game, even if you have no motivation for doing so. Everyone arguing otherwise needs to shove away their internet pitchforks and think about it from GSL's point of view. Few people are defending naniwa; most are upset with GSL's ridiculous, ambiguous, and over the top reaction. ridiculous - was in their rule ambiguous - correct in term of their rules but historical analogies set by brood war time and past incidents have established a pretty clear definite of what proper conducts are for progamers. over the top - same as ridiculous
Point #1 - Link me please, to the rule that says "worker rushing is suspendable."
Point #2 - basically the definition of ambiguous. That's completely open to interpretation, which is what makes it a stupid rule.
Point #3 - wp.

If GSL wants to be international they need to stop with forcing that silly Korean honor and political correctness upon foreign players, let Naniwa be Naniwa please.
This isn't "Korean honor". It's called sportsmanship I'm sure you agree because you are a faithful customer to the e-sports and you want it to grow.

i hope nani goes to each gsl matches from now on with a sign saying "yes i probe rushed, and i fk you gom"

Well, Naniwa had it coming for outrageous bad sportsmanship like that. Consequences...I respect GOM for their decision
