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. | ||

Link me this rule. This is i think the 5th time i've asked you to link me this rule. | ||

I dont mind this, dunno if its cause of this episode, or if naniwa just had it coming after several awkward outcries <.< Remember chill get out? The MLG joke tournament? The lack of gg in gsl vs fxo.lucky -> even though this is seen as mandetory and now this. u might disagree, but something had to be done. if nothing else this might inspire naniwa to learn a bit of "politics". No. It has been accepted in useless games since ever. | ||

He was, however, going be one of 2 foreigners invited for Code S. Now, GOM has 'uninvited' him. As it stands, Naniwa can still qualify for Code A like everyone else (*cough* Jinro *cough*) THIS IS CORRECT. Naniwa was not confirmed for Code S spot. | ||

It's the NFL teams job to play games, when it comes down to borderline playoff time NFL teams will take off their 1st string players and place in their 3rd, effectively forfeiting their chances at any serious game (assuming they have won their playoff spot) because their 3rd strings are that much worse than their 1st string. It's exactly what naniwa did, stop being narrow minded. naniwa wouldn't have risked injury by playing that game. and this comparison isn't fair anyway. I'd say putting in 3rd strings is comparable to trying to win with a weak strategy, say 4 gate, for which it has been repeatedly said naniwa wouldn't have gotten any shit. what naniwa did is comparable to not putting any players on the field at all. handing the other team the ball and laying down. | ||

I think it's very unprofessional of GOM to be 'culturally offended', yet don't giving a fuck about Naniwas cultural background. Calling Naniwa unprofessional, but having vague as shit rules, plays obviously into this as well That being said, Naniwa should have learned the lesson the day he got disqualified from ESL Pro Series for penalty points. Anyhow I'm disappointed because I like watching protoss, especially a foreigner protoss versus koreans  You fail to realize why the soccer teams do it. They do it to give their best players rest and success in the further rounds of the tournament. Equal to that if you want to compare is, if Naniwa would have played a strategy like 4 gate to not give away his best strategies and yet he would have played a game and even leave the impression he is actually trying to win. The right comparison towards soccer would be, enter the field, do nothing but stand there. | ||

Decision taken overnight. - See first point. * Mr. Chae then proceeds to slander Naniwa officially. - unofficial translation off something he said on a live broadcast. * Sen and IdrA are given FREE Code S seeds. - Yes, "sponsor" invites. Did anyone complain about foreigner Code A seeds before? Somewhat unrelated. Meaning, the outcome in Blizzard Cup have no impact on "regular" GSL seasons. And oh, so now we trust unofficial twitterposts but not "unofficial" translations? Good job altering the facts to fit your argument. | ||

It's exactly what naniwa did, stop being narrow minded. no, that's not exactly what naniwa did what naniwa did was let nestea sack him 4 times in a row a more appropriate analogy, would be if naniwa played a 3rd string strategy, like a basic 4gate, a cannon rush, or something insanely greedy like double expanding before forge playing at half power != not playing why do so few people understand this | ||

Isn't it great when players are grinded down to a shell of a human being and their only responses can be "I will try my best to win!" they should start banning people who give different answers because clearly they are bad mannered and out of line! | ||

"neither of us had anything at stake and wouldnt play our best. sorry fans that expected more" He may have said sorry, but the former statement and the context of the sorry in the latter statement aren't very indicative of it. You do realize how silly you just made yourself ? You quoted random guy who pretends to be Naniwa. If you would spend at least 5 minutes into that you would see that it is not Naniwa's twitter. | ||

If he was Korean, we certainly wouldn't have multiple threads over it let alone one thread with over 100 pages in less than a few hours. and this is foreign website dedicated to covering BW/SC2 so it shouldn't be surprising that news like this about a foreigner who was most likely going to be in Code S is a big deal | ||
