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.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Players choose shitty strats to intentionally lose games all the time, the only difference is appearances and how many fans caught on. Naniwa broke no league rules and it's just an overreaction, the true fault is GOM's format

You mean you need rules to determine what's right and what's wrong? That's kinda sad, imo. There are plenty of things in this world that are not illegal to do but completely frowned upon when it's done.

look, there are hundreds of other "pro gamers" who would love a chance to take down NesTea on live tv despite for what circumstance.

Progaming is about two things, being good at starcraft and having exposure. If you don't have exposure, how will people know you're a professional gamer let alone good at this game?

Every pro will tell you marketing is just as important as your high skill in sc2, hence why personalities like Destiny and Catz make the same amount of money as the other top pros..

This I 100% agree with and NaNiWa is one of my least fav players keep in mind.

The sadest thing with this is that a lot of people in here don't realize how incredibly sad this is for Johan (yes he is actually a real person even if online communities tend to forget that). So, so sad for the guy.

Way to overshoot about five million times the correct response GOM...

No more tickets from me anyway, I have lost all my enthusiasm for GSL.

Good thing we really dont need Korea in SC2.

I can understand their decision.
There's a difference between not giving it your all and 7-probe rushing, just as there's difference between saying that your food tasted like shit versus saying that maybe it had too much garlic or some shit.

i agree with some people that this is deserved but not necessarily happy with the situation

you have to think that koreans take SC very seriously and its a HUGE part of their culture. so for Naniwa to do what he did, was probably seen as a major insult to all of the workers of GSL and Gomtv as well to all of the people who love starcraft there

No.

But that has nothing to do with GOM's explicit right to deny him access to their tournament.

According to another thread on TL, Naniwa apparently broke a rule about not offending the enemy or the audience but that's highly subjective, because he never typed anything solidly offensive, he even GGd.

To add on, Naniwa didnt even gg after his games vs FXOLucky

Fine by me, Nani repeatedly seems to showcase a lack of professionalism.

Looking forward to watching the games of whoever replaces him =)


Sen replaces him so it's not that bad.

BTW, it seems that there actually rules against what Naniwa's did, as posted by TBO and CryingPoo in the other thread:

GomTV can deny your participation if you are found unfit to be a gamer.

- 경기중에 과격한 행동으로 상대 게이머나 관중들에게 위협을 가할 때
- During a match, a player shall not offend the opponent or audience with abusive behaviours


If Naniwa is viewed as disrespectful to his opponent and viewer then it would be fit with the second rule, and again they can deny entry as they want from the first place.

So ontop of kicking out a player who did NOT BREAK ANY RULES, or do ANYTHING wrong because their format is complete crap... I just read in the other thread that they have "Sponsor-paid" Code S spots now??

So EG or some other team can just pay GOM to put their player directly in Code S?

Wow.. GOM really doesnt care about putting the best players in the world in Code S, they just want money. Retarded.

Actually, they can deny whoever they want without breaking any rules. A players' participation has nothing to do with if they have broken no rules.

For punishments like this, yes I would say rules are needed.

I can't wait to see him come up from code A and go far in code S and be like: "fuck all you guys!" in every interview.

It will be delicious.

Was considering buying the season ticket but this just made it easy for me to let it go.Though, will keep watching HD GSL through other sources just as this far.

Its pretty sad that people are actually not going to buy next season of GOM because of Naniwa being out, its their organization and their decision to make.

And it is up to the viewers to decide wether they agree with the actions from GOM or not. A bit silly to just say, 'it is their decision, respect it and buy a new ticket'. Not buying a new ticket might not show GOM a lot, at least it gives them an idea how the non-Korean scene things (at least partly) about this situation. Fact remains that Naniwa didn't break any rules of the GOM tournament, and that he has been punished for 'not being professionial', which is of course a stupid decision based on a single game. It is just KESPA all over again, and that is the last thing a StarCraft 2 player wants to see.


But what I don't understand is why the people who DON'T agree with GOM's decision will opt to not watch the entire rest of the season. There are so much content and better players out there. I wouldn't compare KESPA with GOMTV but I'm sure they have similar views on what is considered not being professional and downright disrespectful

I agree. He has good standards. Both of his standards are awesome.

I'd rather support the foreign scene, and let Chae know how stupid his decision was, and how wrong his words were, than view the worlds finest cannon rush or TvT finals.
