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. | ||

thank you gom. And to add this is what i think naniwa was thinking: Naniwa wouldnt even be able to bring an entertaining match. His mind was set on forfeit before the match and he forfeited. He saw that the match would not help him towards his goals in any way so he ignored the match and set his mind on the next challenge. | ||

Listen up: Naniwa is a professional gamer, being in tournaments like the GSL is his JOB. For those of you who have never had a real job let me give you a tip: if you go around disrespecting the business's customers, not showing up for the work and generally having a bad attitude, then when you get called into the boss's office say 'I don't see any rules I broke in the employee handbook!' you will be laughed out of the building and you will get fired I assure you. The ban is completely in keeping with any type of pro-gaming scene that wants to be professional in the least. well said it blows my mind that the argument is basically "he should be allowed to ignore what he said he would do and throw it in the face of everyone watching if he doesn't want to play" 'wah mommy I don't wanna!!!!' grow up | ||

In the meanwhile I just want to say I am extremely sorry to hear what GOMTV has decided to do and that after being a super loyal customer ( I purchased every single season as premium ticket ) I will stop buying GSL tickets and watching GOMTV all together after the BlizzardCUP is over. This behavior is absolutely unacceptable and the "rule" seems to be applied completely randomly. Also, how on earth can Choya say "I can't believe that bastard is a progamer" when he was ladder cheating few seasons ago ? I think what he has done is way worse than Naniwa's game. If there is one thing that I hate is people being not coherent and GOMTV has just proofed right here right now how not coherent they are. I can't even express how unprofessional their behavior has been and I will be a sad fan because I do love watching Tastless and Artosis casting games. I guess this is a good occasion to be a premium supporter of MLG, they have done great and I still want to support esports but I am done with GOM. | ||

Imho this shows that naniwa is on the same level as idra when it comes to mental state and he really needs to change it up if he wants to be the best. The best never gives up and always shows his best and if things don't turn up the way he expected he would try to end on a strong note. The best player don't need to walk the championship road in order to challenge himself. The best player is the player who takes losses hard cause WINNING is so important. He doesn't want to be number one, he only wants to WIN. Too many players have the mentality of being number one instead of winning when its the later that will make you number one. | ||

If he can't show respect for the money fans paid to see these matches, in the format they were set out, he doesn't deserve his invited spot. I always stayed up late to watch GSL, but that will now change. The anti-GOM reactions have prompted me to show my support by buying a ticket. This was a player's blatant disregard and complete flouting for the rules coming back to bite him in the butt. Nothing more, nothing less. It's also absurd that the format should be "bad" now, and no one pointed this out before. If someone had pointed this out, people probably would have found a justification for this format such as "hey these are the best players in the world and GOM's going to give us more matches, including the Naniwa v Nestea centerpiece." The people using sports comparisons to support Nani are way off base. If you paid money for a season ticket and watched a game where a team sat down on the field because the match "didn't matter" would you think it was "funny?" If anyone thinks that refusing to buy a GSL ticket because of this action alone will help them prove a point, they can try thinking about what would happen if they did nothing and showed that any match, any anticipated event, could be flouted by an angry player in a bad condition. Athletes don't do this, and if E-sports is going to be anything but a fetish-y footnote in the internet age section of a history book, actions like this are necessary. I have a feeling that no one that's supporting Nani right now actually bought a ticket. I hope Mr. Chae reads this (I know he has posted on these forums before) and understands that some people support him, with our wallets as well as our words. Great first post!  I agree with the sentiment, in fact, there are very few forum veterans that seem to be posting in favour of Nani, and that's probably because people that actually compete in tournaments know they themselves wouldn't act like Naniwa did. | ||

If GOM punished all disrespectful behavior then OK, it would be stupid , but at least they would not be hypocrites. But of course their tournament and they can do what they want, and I will do what I want and never watch or pay for any GOM product, it is easy as that. Idra didn't forfeit his matches in the GSL, he forfeited them in some other tournament. None of Gom's business. Naniwa did it in the GSL, Gom's business. | ||
