NaNiwa not invited to Code S - Page 115

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.

wow, im utterly suprised by this...... kobe elbows someone to the face pretty often.. lets revoke his spot in the nba till he earns it back. He made a mistake yes but guess what........ we are still extremely young and because of him future programers know now not to do this because of his irrational behavior and the community. Gomtv is not contributing to the picture as a whole and its obvious that this is for their own pride then anything. I wonder and i know this is far out there but what if it was Nestea who drone rushed? i don't think they would revoke his seed to code s. Sorry but this just leaves a real bad taste in my mouth. I completely look down on what NaNiwa did but I am disgusted at this decision from Gom. They better release some information on why they did this because if this is because he probed rushed.... then it's utterly biased and disgusting to do such an impacting thing on an individual who devotes his life to this over a probe rush. There better be more to it.

If KeSPa would run the tournamnet, NaNiWa would have been banned for the tournamnet after he left his game with 'g'.


HAHA!

didn't watch the game but from reading the reactions I'm saying that he did deserve it.

NaNiwa는 애초에 코드S 시드가 아니었습니다. '만약 어제 그런 행동이 없었다면 시드를 줄 수 있었을지도 모른다'가 맞습니다. 많은 분들이 MLG프로비던스에서 코드S 시드가 나온 것으로 알고 계시지만 없었습니다. #GSL #SC2

Basically saying:
Naniwa wasn't seeded to Code S to begin with; people think he got the seed from MLG Providence but that is not the case. It was more like if he hadn't done what he did, it was likely that he could of received the Code S seed. All they have done is restricting naniwa from receiving the Code S seed (not revoking the code s seed)

So the guys at MLG were wrong? Didn't they announce it right there?

I call BS on that one, he even deleted the english tweets, that were saying his Code S was revoked.

This rule doesn't even apply to this situation.

He did stupid probe rush. Why is that so offensive?
Zerg goes 6 pool. Is that offensive?
Terran goes bunker rush all-in he loses. Is that offensive?
Protoss goes cannon rush. Same thing.
Where is the line? It's impossible to draw one.

And he did this in Blizzard Cup, so as the rule says he should be warned in/disqualified from Blizzard Cup, NOT GSL.
Lawyered.


The line is that 6 probes rush is unwinnable in a pro competition.
Blizzard Cup is a one time thing and GSL has sovereignty over their tournaments.

unfortunately this is shit too. They later invited IDRA (8th at providence) and SEN (not at MLG) to code S instead of all those in front of him. They are freely giving out seeds and denying naniwa because he threw a USELESS match

[/QUOTE]
illr memeber that when MC is prancing around the stage like a ballerina.. that could cause offence to some people right? Especially after a victory. Oh wait thats fine though in GSL pantomine circus.[/QUOTE]

what a ridiculous thing to say, you've CLEARLY missed the point. Fans (like me) pay for GSL, they pay to watch in person, they expect a show. MC prancing around on stage is what people WANT TO SEE, how can you possibly compare this to basically forfeiting/fixing a game, simply because it has no benefit (money or otherwise) for yourself?

I would be absolutely furious if i travelled to the gom studios to watch Naniwa (likely as he's a foreigner) and he did that, in a game everyone expected him to perform in (he's beaten Nestea recently).

MC speaks for everyone in that Whitera is the ultimate professional, and while it is very unlikely many will reach the standards he consistently does, players MUST respect that fans are what keeps e-sports as successful as it is.
Not write me more about balance, or next time i kick you ass

What a clusterfuck.


Yep a clusterfuck indeed. I don't get the whole "get top3 in a MLG for a code S spot" if they are later on just gonna hand out them to some random bad players. Neither Idra or sen deserves a Code S spot for free ( no one does IMO)

So many angry nerds and invalid reasons. Rules are rules, you maintain them to keep your product to the highest quality, for GOM those games are there lively hood. Something people seem not to understand.
Players break your rule you act, they did. Naniwa accepted to play under GOM's terms he broke there rule and is punished for it accordingly. 100% correct call from a business prospective.

Not only this but i also question giving free code S spots for popular players without them having to qualify. At least Naniwa did qualify. He didnt cheat or use any exploit. Korea needs to realize that SC2 is not only theirs like SC1 was and is now a global phenomenon. Things like these do not fly.


Fans need to realize its a Korean Product, the GSL. Even if foreigners can play in it, its their league. They run it and talk to sponsors. As mentioned before, a Korean would have suffered a way harsher penalty than that.


But do you really want another Institution like KeSpa running the whole e-Sports-World of one game?

Do you want a player to get an instant-loss in a very high-profile-game cuz he typed in "pp" instead of "ppp" and paused the game?

Do you want the fake-emotions with ridiculous and embarrassing (okay, sometimes also awesome) ceremonies and ban ppl that show true human emotions, like naniwa did?

Do you want a System that prides itself with being politically correct, fair and does everything to look shiny in the outside, but on the inside, they basically exploit teenagers and young adults and have 100% control over who is allowed to play, who gets how much money etc.?

We need to show GSL right now that this is a direction we won't accept!

I've deinstalled GomTV-player and deleted my Bookmarks for GSL until they revoke their decision. I don't care much for GSL atm anyways, cuz it gets upstaged by far by foreign tournaments, which also often have much better quality streams, free VoD's and a more multicultural playing-field. This was just the last straw for me...

But no, no one here is supporting GOM only because they are Nani haters. Nope. You are all just totally rational...

This sounds really fishy. If Naniwa didn't get the code s seed then who did?
