EPTNaNiwa not invited to Code S - Page 135
| Forum Index > Closed |
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. | ||

Rules are rules, no matter how good you are, if you can't abide to them, you should get booted right out of the competition. Thanks for letting us know that probe rushing is not allowed in gom's rule book.... oh wait. Good thing hero building cannons at the watch tower is not in the rule book. | ||

And that of course is just so fucking funny! When the discussion get going you end up with people on both sides that simply get more caught up by the discussion then by what actually happend. | ||

This is a excerpt from his interview. "So if you suffer a bad loss in the groups early on, do you think you can bounce back? It doesn't matter to me in other games if I win or lose the previous match, I just treat each match like it's the same thing, and give it my best. " Also, comparing a ling rush vs a probe rush is moronic. A game can't be won off a probe rush. So now nani is banned from GSL for 1 month. I say good job to Gom. They have a certain set of standards. I hope nani learns from this and trains even harder to become the the GSL champion in the GSL after. | ||

Probe rushing has never been a competitive strategy. If MC does a throat slash after a game, it's just some light-hearted fun, but the Nestea vs Naniwa game basically didn't happen, I'm disappointed in him for not trying to show a good game not because I think he BMd nestea. Whilst I think GOM was in a difficult decision, I personally think that he did need punishing. Maybe losing his code S spot completely is a bit harsh, maybe not paying him at all for Blizzard cup would have been more appropriate. But he agreed beforehand to play all those games, and he didn't really play that last one, HuK never got punished for trying too hard in that all-star game. I completely sympathise with that situation, especially when Jinro vs Fruitdealer opened with a reall game with them both trying hard. But it's not the same situation. Actually, I apologise. I think I've changed my mind a bit; if this had happened at Dreamhack everyone would just have lol'd and Day[9] would have made some great jokes and TotalBiscuit would probably have satirically cast it as a super exciting match or something. So I think you're kinda right on the culture thing. Putting this one in context Naniwa should certainly have known better, and he was still completely wrong to do it. But I do think possibly a fine or something would have been better than losing his code S spot. Apparently many in korea were calling for 3-6 month ban which is ridiculous. | ||

However, my main problem is the nature of the other Code S invites; where they are just inviting popular players with no concrete reasons behind them. Everyone knew Nani earned his spot from MLG, but the other invites are just for popular players who GOM favour. Naniwa got 2nd at MLG Providence and was going to be invited based on that. How is that differenct from Idra/Sen getting invited for 1st at IEM Guangzhou/3rd at Blizzcon. | ||

It's all too easy to get caught up in drama and make everything into hyperbole. Just because we aren't noisy and outraged, doesn't mean we're not here. This is well said. With all of the drama in the last few months, its easy to forget that there are plenty of level-headed people out there not losing sleep over issues like this. | ||

If it was a Korean, the punishment would've been way harsher, probably banned for 2-3 seasons and no entry allowed to other GomTV tournaments. All NaNiwa got was a denial of direct Code S spot; he can still participate in the Code A qualifiers if he wants to. And yet the evidence has shown us that there is no punishment for Koreans who actually shirk the rules, let alone someone who does nothing wrong and decides to probe rush. Please, don't just make things up. Thanks. | ||

Including Thumbs down, Dancing outside the booth, Waving his finger at the camera.. and many more. *Ban Bomber for having such a BM game against MC in some MLG (dont remember which). Putting down tons of command centers in the middle of the map, doing an "orange" with 10+ CC Scans and dropping mules so many times over. *Ban NesTea since in the Blizzcon finals he so obviously threw his game away and was just trolling around. *Ban Coca for match-fixing. He didnt get disqualified as far as I know - he simply left the spot because of decisions in their team. I can assume GOM would've cared, but so far had theyve said anything? ..more examples? His team pressured him to forfeiting his spot and has disallowed him from participating in GSL in the nearest future untill they see fit to do otherwise. This was done before GOMTV could actually intervene. | ||

All I feel I'm reading is rumour and confusion =/ Thread won't slow down for long enough for facts to properly come out though, freaking drama generators! D= Naniwa was a favourite to be invited into code S. He showed bad attitude. Mr. Chae now says he will not be invited into Code S due to this. | ||

Imagine this would happen in any kind of sport. One basketball team just sitting in the corner of the field for example, because the game was not an important one. Fans would be going nuts because of bad sportsmanship, and the league would definitely draw their consequences. This is not "the Koreans imposing their will on other cultures", this is a normal consequence for bad sportsmanship. | ||
