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.

- Comparing people to Hitler
- Posting useless one liners of arguments that have already been repeated ad nauseum. |

Seems to me everyone who justifies Gomtv's actions are just Naniwa haters.
Nope. I'm not friends with him and I had my troubles with him, but I respect him a lot as a player and I see he does practice really hard and puts a lot into the game, yet I do support eSports and I want it to be a profession like any other sports and can understand the punishment.
If you want to be respected, you have to set standards.

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.
He took his hands OFF the keyboard, ZERO EFFORT. For someone who payed to watch that game, I was pretty offended.

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) 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
Just because the match itself had no value does not mean people would not value watching the match.

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 >.< What a sad excuse. THINK ABOUT IT. You think he really cared about the viewers and showing a good game when he did a probe rush? So instead of showing us a bad game, he showed us shit wrapped up in a sack lit on fire aged in a dead whale. He chose not to waste our time with a mediocre game, what is it you don't understand?
More like he was scared he would lose to Nestea after all his shit talk, so he threw the game in the most blatant way possible so he could say "I didn't want to play, so my loss doesn't really count".

Good decision by GOM. It's irrelevant whether that game had any weight on who progressed so the semis. That was a high profile tournament and if there is a game you need to play, you are obliged to play it; a progamer should, by definition, be able to give his best performance no matter how he "feels". Prize-hunter is a fitting image for Naniwa at this point; as soon as he wasn't eligible for higher prize money he gave up and threw the game, without considering the fact that there are up to a hundred thousand people that really wanted to see that game.

Gom did the right thing, map propos to them.

Because all I see is flamebait and a pot calling the kettle black. Go look at choya, byun, and coca. All examples of worse offenses that resulted in really no significant action by Gom minus Choya's ban in the gstl.
What? Byun and Coca are basically banned for an indefinite amount of time. The teams were able to step in and levy the punishment though...and that's worse for them because they aren't allowed to participate in other tournaments as well.

Idra left Korea to win money in all the tournaments and then Nani mvoes to korea to be a pro gamer and they kick Nani and reinvite Idra and they they call Nani the Moneygrabber??? WTF
HAHA the irony

next time all ceremonies will be banned too. This is disrespectful to all of the teammates of the person being BM and his family. This is abusive and should be banned.

Can you show me the rules, please. Because if it is written in the rules than I admit I'm wrong. But I checked a rules of tournament page and there is nothing about it.
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?
Are you aware of logic or not? Don't put into my mouth something I didn't say. And don't try to chase racism where there is none.
Everyone is living in his/her culture. Being truly global means that you have to stand above your culture. A global event in Poland should be organized by people stepping up above polish culture etc. Should I say that GOM should step up above swedish and french culture as well? That would not make any sense.

Naniwa earned his code S spot @ MLG thanks to MLG-GSL exchange program. Thats a fact and koreans are just <insert random inslut here>

Because Naniwa causes shitstorms everywhere he goes. He disrespects players, viewers and tournaments (MLG/GSL/EPS/IEM). He needs to know that he can't act like this.

That seems to be the most logical post i've seen so far.
He did this in a GSL hosted event, therefore their rules still apply.

Gom actually had no jurisdiction over Choya - he was playing on the ladder. GomTV doesn't own the Blizzard ladder unfortunately yet they still banned him. And Boxer owned the shit out of Coca pretty hard w.o needing Gom to intervene - again in the tournament NOT run by GOM. GOM isn't going to interject their asses into ladder/tournaments not EVEN RUN by them.
Um, GOM has 100% jurisdiction to deny people access to their tournaments for whatever reason they want, hence why they can disallow savior from ever participating in anything. That's the funny part you imply that GOM has to run somethign to ban then from GSL, but they don't.

Stay Classy GomTV.

At the end of the day, Gom paid Naniwa $850 for an INVITATIONAL event, and so him not even trying in the highlight match was unforgivable, and this is the only way he can be punished in the circumstances.

SOOOOO happy i didn't that premium ticket!!.. this is so dumb. Punishing a player for probe rushing in a match that didnt matter. I wonder what they would have done if he just 4-gated.
Nothing. Because then Nani would have shown a game. Which was, you know, his job. Why don't people get this? He's a professional. When he agreed to participate in this tournament, he knew the format, and he knew he might have to play meaningless games. So just 4-gate and deal.
4gate = game
Probe rush = game
Why don't people get this? Its the same damn thing. Theres no difference. Well maybe the worker rush is more entertaining.
