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.

All these people ranting "no more GSL for me" or "ban GSL" etc. I bet most of you will resubscribe or secretly watch GSL.

I'm really against what Naniwa did, but this seems pretty harsh considering he didn't actually break a rule. I guess GOM is really trying to send a message though and I can understand why, but technically this shouldn't be punished, I think public pressure to have his team reprimand him in some way would've been a bit more appropriate.

*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?

"Mr.Chae has announced that they made Code S seeds for a professional minded pro-gamer not for an amateur prize money hunter. It is official that Naniwa is given a punishment"


Oh yeah and probe rushing is simple cheese it's not something he can be banned for unless you want to start banning 6 pools it doesn't matter if he could have won with it or not.


cheesing involves you trying to win. playing with your hands off the keyboard does not entitle you to be trying to win

GOM HAS NO RIGHT TO TAKE AWAY A CODE S SPOT THAT DOESNT EXIST FROM A PLAYER THAT THEY WERE CONSIDERING GIVING ONE TO AFTER HE SHIT ON THEIR PREVIOUS TOURNAMENT!

How dare they do such a thing, what a bunch of hypocrits, theyre a tyrannical force of racism trying to show their ethnic dominance. Mr Chae is making up rules cause he hates Swedish people! They have to give Naniwa a code S spot because I said so! They have no right to make decisions about their own tournament! Its all because of BO1 series that this happened! They obviously dont know the new strategy where you rush with your probes and play with one hand! Just because people pay hard earned money to watch these tournaments, and take time to support these players doesnt mean the players should be expected to be respectful to the sport or to their money!

Come on people. This is ridiculous. Get a grip. Someone messed up big, and their punishment is not getting a gift that the person they just spit on was going to give them. Being outraged by that is completely unreasonable.

This dude is like 1-12 in the gsl. The only ridiculous thing was that he was even going to be in code s this upcoming season in the first place.

Mr. Chae should've just said that it was an act of throwing the game, not the whole offending the player or audience thing. The rule is already vague as it is, why make the punishment even more vague...

Before people keep bashing GOM, the new twitter update by Ethan states that Naniwa was merely being considered for the Code S spot (along with Sen/Idra I'm guessing) and that he missed his opportunity. Shouldn't we be thanking GOM for considering Naniwa in the first place?


lol isnt that a lie. Didnt Naniwa win the Code S for being the highest ranked player not in code S. Just like DRG,MMA and MC did before him?


No

MLG thought he did.

http://www.majorleaguegaming.com/news/naniwas-ascension/

Ultimately he dropped the following four games, and despite not being crowned champion, Naniwa has presented one of the most captivating weeks imaginable, both in and out of the game. In the last week, Naniwa has rage quit of of a GSL match, flown half-way around the world, defeated the two most successful Korean Starcraft 2 players back-to-back, sparked a rivalry with Nestea, been the center of controversy in a rematch against Nestea, let a National Championship slip through his fingers and earned a seat in Code S.

naniwa deserved this and gom is acting professional, it will prevent this from happening again because after all gom tv wants to look professional to potential sponsors and fans, probe rushing is not professional.

Didn't Naniwa get banned from ESL aswell? Or was that someone else?

Luckily it's pretty easy to watch SC2 and not follow GSL at all. I've managed to do so this whole year and I will for the next as well.

Naniwa hasn't been in his best form recently anyway so this is not the end of the world by any means.
