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. | ||

GSL brand themselves as "GOMTV Global Starcraft II League" not Korean Starleague, so in a sense they should have an more understanding towards foreigners not having the same outlook on the world as them, and not being forced to submit to their culture, cause I haven't seen Koreans being forced to submit to the American culture at MLG or the Swedish at Dreamhack? My take on it. | ||

On the English rules page it states: Displaying violent behaviors to threaten the opposing player or the audience. Right below the: Sending chat messages other than ‘GG’, ‘gg’, ‘ㅎㅎ’,'ㅈㅈ' to declare the loss during the game. I don't know Korean but on an older Korean rules page it seems to be equal to the rule that has been used: 경기중에 과격한 행동으로 상대 게이머나 관중들에게 위협을 가할 때 Now this exact sentence is still on the korean BlizzardCup rules page. I don't know how "Displaying violent behaviors to threaten the opposing player or the audience." suddenly became translated to "During a match, a player shall not offend the opponent or audience with abusive behaviours". As there is a very significant difference between the two, perhaps there have been some mistranslation, the one about violent behaviours is from the English Gom site. I also posted this on reddit but it hasn't got any attention. /CC | ||

you cant force people to play games . if they throw games is just lose for them nothing more . Rly naniwa put a lot of effort in qualifying for blizzard cup and whatever he wants to do with his hard work is his right . if he wanna throw away all games FINE HE ALREDY WORKED HARD ENOUGH TO GET THOSE GAMES IS HIS RIGHT TO DO WHATEVER HE WANTS TO WITH THEM . Is like buying a car and the state will force you only to drive " no you cant set on fire your car you cant do anything else then just drive it " . rly ? GOD WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU " FORCE PLAYERS TO PLAY " lets go back to comunism . User was temp banned for this post. | ||

And it's not a "Korean culture" thing. It's a professional thing where employees are expected to fulfill more than just personal obligations. It's absolutely false when people say he had nothing on the line in the match against Nestea. He had nothing on the line in terms of advancement in the Blizzard Cup, but he still had obligations: to himself, to his fans, to his opponent, and to the tournament organizers. By failing to fulfill these obligations, he showed that he lacked professionalism. And the GSL was designed to be a professional tournament. If Naniwa doesn't want to be weighed down by these obligations then don't be a pro-gamer. Stick to amateur leagues and tournaments. This entire debacle could have been avoided if Naniwa just spent an entire 30 minutes (if even that), playing a game against Nestea. The bottomline is that Naniwa chose to be selfish. That's the difference between Naniwa's scenario and all the other flawed analogies people are making (eg: sports team sending B-team lineups). Welcome to the real world where you can't always do what only you want to do. It's time to grow up. I'm sorry Naniwa had to learn it the hard way, but in the long run, he'll learn from this (if he's as smart as I believe him to be). | ||

If Naniwa said "fuck you nestea" or "fuck all audience" , got into fight with someone from audience or programer yeah I could get it. But just doing an unwinnable strategy just because he didn't feel like playing? There is no punishment for that as far as I can see. | ||

GOM can deny whoever they want. Code S is a privelage, not a right. You fuck up then you lose it. Naniwa threw a game which he himself agreed to play. He in turn made himself look bad in addition to making GOM look bad for having him in the tournament. You throw a game, you're punished. It's how the world should be. | ||

At the very least it's likely that Nani is going to start playing by the book instead of being a "bad boy". | ||

If they wouldn´t punish him like this would the be "unprofessional" or just down to earth and self critical? | ||

You'd know just from reading it that it is impossible to apply it to providence since there are no championship pools, This is actually a pretty good point lol, I don't remember now but did any posts regarding a korean being invited through the program made? Also, naniwa got money even though he didn't advance right? If he did, he should've played the game because it was scheduled and only by an agreement of gom and him they could not broadcast the game. Not playing even though you agreed gives gom the "right" to back off on any agreements they had with naniwa. | ||

ya this is true, but if it's all about 1) abusive strategies or 2) offending the crowd / audience, then bitbybit should be executed | ||

It has to do with honor and respect and bestowing those upon both your opponent and the tournament you're playing in. Naniwa is incredibly selfish and outwardly neurotic and it's no surprise to me that he got Code S revoked. Hopefully this will teach him to not be a brat and to respect both his opponents AND those who run the tournaments in which he's allowed to play. When you're in an Eastern-world country, honor and respect towards practically everyone comes before yourself; the well-being of the group is much more important than the well-being of the self. It's Sociology 101. If Naniwa pulled his MLG shenanigans in Korea, he would've been banned from GSL. We tolerate selfishness in America even when it disrespects others - in Korea, not so much. | ||
