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. | ||

True, but it's not like the b-teamers aren't trying to at least show an entertaining game, even if the team is not playing to the best of its ability by sending its best. What Naniwa did is kind of like a sports team forfeiting a game by passing the ball to the enemy whole game or leaving the goal unguarded.. | ||

And even so CoCa got the worst punishment of the two so shouldn't even be complaining. Wasn't there? The TL news post said Coca threw the game because of Code A, but I haven't checked other sources myself. Coca was punished by his team, though, not by Gom. Gom took issue with the profanity in the chat, apparently, and to be fair they may well have punished him if the team hadn't, but no way to know in what way. | ||

Can't say I've ever spent a penny on any of the GSL subscriptions before now, but I definitely won't be anytime soon either. I really hope they reconsider this. It's absolutely horrendous. How did he violate this rule? Like he said, if he'd 4-gated no one would've cared. It was a pointless game.Give me a break, with all the high-level sc2 being played nowadays it just isn't important. Exactly what i've been trying to say they can't force him to do certain strategy. He chose to do 6 probe rush and that was his free will of choice to do for that game. There is no rule where GomTV says you have to play a certain strategy or can/can't play certain strats | ||

2. Naniwa was an asshole who disrespected his opponent, the league and its place within the community, by throwing a match on the largest stage sc2 has to offer. Therefore 3 Naniwa has no right to play in GSL Good job GOM for enforcing a level of professionalism in what you are trying to make a legitimate sport. However, i must say that perhaps it would just be best to cancel irrelevant matches in the future so this issue does not come up. I know the people want to see them anyways, but it only takes one player not valuing his fans to start all kinds of problems. IMO MC had it right, lets look to White-ra for an example of how things should be done in e-sports. It just as much about winning as making GG for your fans. | ||

So there are two possiblities: 1. Either they are doing this without basis in any of their rules, which makes it an very harsh punishment considering they can do this completely on their whims, basing it on their subjective opinion of a players behaviour. 2. The rule has been translated wrong or can be enterpreted differently in Korean. Which means they are using a rule which is not clear for a foreigner to throw out a punishment noone can expect for their actions, which is also not justifiable IMO. http://www.gomtv.net/2011gslsponsors3/news/64582 Quoting this to get people to talk about, didnt see any replies after it was posted. I think this is an excellent post. If the rule they say they are basing it on doesnt exist/is findable on their site this all seems very weird to me. | ||

Can they even deduce? Can they be 100% sure of it? What if hero just played badly? However, we are 100% sure that Naniwa threw the game. So bad luck to him, but this world is about keeping up appearances. So all those "keep up appearances are disgusting" people, please stop as i'm pretty sure thats what we all do everyday in our lives. If not, there will always be more conflict, thank you. | ||

A lot of people here were arguing that a football team sending their B team to a match that has no value is the same as naniwa a-moving his probes into his opponents base. The reality is that doing a standard all-in like a 4gate / well known 2 base timing would be equal to sending the B-team and the probe a-move is the same as the players being fielded just standing still for the duration of the match. | ||

GSL and other big tournaments is only out there, because sponsors are willing to put some money in it. The sponsors care for the audience - and the audience do not approve Naniwa throwing games on purpose, just cause of his selfish thinking. His selfish thinking actually was, that he didn't think he would be able to give his absolute best, so he would rather not play at all instead of disappointing his fans and audience even more. I don't think Koreans bothered to translate his interview, where he explained it. | ||

Losing on purpose, which a 1 handed unmicroed properush is, is not the same as giving not 100%, that would be playing and outmicroing a proxygate or 4 gate or other cheesy/fast strategy... Even a 2 gate with all probes pulled would be ok WHEN microed. What is not ok, is to try to lose asap. It's totally ok to punish that.. | ||
