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. | ||

The entire world thought it was, and GOM had plenty of time to refute it which they didn't then. The MLG/GSL exchange was still in effect as far as I know ( 4 Koreans invited ), and by consideration, the Code S seed should still stand. The key point is that they don't think he deserves it any more. I will agree with them on that. Sympathies to Naniwa on losing the Code S spot, but he sure did something that can't be overlooked easily. If I was GOM i wouldnt feel the need to apologise to you because you didnt understand that naniwa didnt get seeded. I didnt have any problems understanding this because I read the media relevant at the time, GOMTV does not have to explain itself to you or anyone else who didnt care to check their facts.. | ||

If he never had a code s spot, there was no need for an announcement to be made either via twitter or the stream of the blizzcup tonight that he was losing that spot. If you want to argue stupid semantics and say he was never 'awarded' the spot from his Providence performance, then be my guest. But the reality was that GOM, in light of that performance, with or without the exchange program being in force, had assigned a slot to Naniwa. And in a knee-jerk reaction they've removed him from that slot. Call it whatever you like, it is what it is. | ||

Please, don't just make things up. Thanks. Byun? CoCa? Rain? Choya? While Byun and CoCa are technically punished by their teams, GomTV would've stepped in anyway if the matters went unresolved. | ||

Better yet, the Western world should completely withdraw from GOM. Show them they can't arbitrarily ban our players by making them sink to the bottom of the sea. But it won't happen, sadly. | ||

You don't have to apologize for me kid and I'm most likely older than 99% on this forum. I have to assume you think it's ok for Gom to use different standards depending on who they're dealing with then? As for the racial issue I've lived in SKorea and know what I'm talking about. Disgusting! | ||

Then mlg would have to tell the gsl they cant do that Interesting. He probably could yes. Althought I don't think this would be a good thing to do... :S | ||

If even players that lost some games could regain a spot on the brackets someway like MLG then they'd play they fully potential. I'd never watch a game pointless as this last naniwa vs nestea. By the way i did not! So, u wanna players and spectators to watch fully and get them both excited? Change the format to a format that makes sense to Esports, and not a joke 1 game only lol GOM IS JUST LOL I fell for it, dont fall for it too. thats a fake twitter. | ||

Thats just a cultural gap and different interpretations of actions, if you want to be fair about stuff like that, you'd have to very clearly define what "disrespectful" means, cuz what Nani did was in no way disrespectful towards anyone for me personally, but I get why Koreans are very upset about it if you take into account cultural differences and the way eSports is perceived in Korea. I personally think ceremonies are distasteful, but throwing a game is disrespectful however you want to color it. | ||

Its not a sign of respect, youre demanded to to this otherwise: consequences. We dont need bowing-down-robots, we need individuals and naniwa is one aswell as idra. We need players to play the game first and foremost and Naniwa failed at the first hurdle Players are players and not the entertainment-machines organisations want them to be (to earn money) | ||

I so wanted my GOM TV pass for next year. Now im not so sure anymore. This could have been handled much much better by GOM. A nice reaction would be that all foreigners leave korea and no korean is invited to any international tournament next year. Wont happen though. edit: everything under the assumption that naniwa didnt know what he did, and that GOM didnt even gave naniwa a chance to apologise. please don't speak, lmao | ||

In Korea every game is played to the fullest. Even if you aren't "trying your hardest" "at least you tried." We just forgot that GOM gets to determine what amount of effort a player has give in a game that has seriously no implications at all. | ||

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. . Aww now I really want to see that Day[9] would have made it into an awesome spectacle. Can't believe people are taking this seriously anyway and to people putting words into the mouths of Koreans it is kind of disrespectful. I bet less than 0.001% of Koreans even care at all about that game. | ||

Banned from EPS, no gg @ GSL, joke tournament @ MLG and there were others aswell. After all those indicidents one thing i would be thinking is that i can't fuck up again and do something stupid but no Naniwa doesn't think like this at all, he's still a child. True, someone had to do something about his behavior sooner or later. | ||

You obviously have no clue what youre talking about - start by reading more threads than 1-3 of them. Cheers On a side note: GomTv police state with Mr. Chae as its Overlord for the win? | ||
