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. | ||

He wasn't allowed to forfeit so he acted like a kid who was upset that his parent said no. His interview makes it even worse gom have to put their foot down and show that they are in control and won't accept that kind of behavior Naniwa didn't get that ban because his strat wasn't acceptable, he got it because he tried to ruin the match | ||

That isn't match throwing unless you're saying that their B Team is a bunch of random people who don't play soccer. Their B Team is on their team in the first place because the team counts on them to play well for them when they are needed to play well. They haven't earned a spot on the A Team, but they are competent players and are paid by the sports team to play the game professionally. IT IS SIMPLY NOT MATCH THROWING. You can compare this in individual eSports leagues with, when you're playing a bo7 and you're up 3-0, and you use a silly strategy that usually only works in ladder. You're resting your mind while showing an entertaining game, while not giving away any big strategies you might be keeping for a much more pinnacle game. In a team eSports league, you see all the time in IPL and even GSTL sometimes (and other leagues ofc, but these include Korean teams) teams putting forth B Teamers to either start or get some practice in. That is because they feel confident in their B Teamers, but even more confidence in ther A Teamers to win after their B Teamers might lose. IPL, B Teamers have 5-0'd the best foreign teams time and time again. This leads me back again, if a football team sends in their B Team, no matter what the case, they aren't throwing the match. They are playing a legitimate game with specific intentions that are understandable and respectable. Even though a team might feel offended that the other team has enough confidence to not play them seriously, (eSports example: NesTea vs HuK), they played them fairly regardless. A real game was played in which both teams were trying, in some shape or form, to win. The B Teamers don't try to lose for the team they try to win, and although the team might not need the win, they are shooting for it nonetheless, even if they aren't trying their absolute hardest because the match isn't super important. I've seen plenty of NBA games where the entire starting lineup gets like 5 minutes of playing time, and then is sat for the rest of the game so they can play their best in the playoffs, and the team STILL WINS!!!! The B team is also playing for something... they play for a spot in the A team if they do realy well....Not sure why you are even trying to compare soccer/basket to starcraft 2.... | ||

But i don't know, isn't there something with the Code B qualifiers and the Korean ladder? If so you could put this under "match fixing"... But well, i don't think the ladder should be involved in any of GOM's decisions/tournaments anyway (aside from some special events  ). | ||

You know this and are pretending like you done. | ||

I don't think that players should be required to play half-assed matches just for our "entertainment". In my opinion, the entertainment in following players like Naniwa is their extreme focus and dedication towards one goal; tournament victories. | ||

I'm also pretty sure he was tilting by then. Besides, I've seen dumber strategies used in GSL. Did you notice a little Nexus-first game between Hero and MC in this very same tournament? Double standards, yo. You have missed the point again. Considering you never got it in the 1st place, i shouldn't have bothered to explain it to you. People can do dumb strats but still try to win. The audience can deduce their intention. If they wanted to win, then they certainly must have thought their dumb strat could have worked. Naniwa didn't want to win. It was obvious because he didn't even try. Thats why they are pissed. Cause he didn't even try. They are pissed that he gave up on the game. Gonna say it one last time. Please stop talking about strategies, that is not the point. | ||

He is not dumb, he has been playing starcraft 1 and 2 for years, he still respects the rules What Naniwa did was essentially match fixing, an extremely obvious one at that. How can you call it match fixing? It's a match that under Gom's normal format would never be played because it's entirely irrelevant. You can argue that he should still have tried, and that's fair; but calling it match fixing implied that he and others were rigging results for someone's benefit, when neither he nor Nestea stood to gain anything from the match. Again, half of this thread is just comparing it to stuff that it isn't, on both sides of the argument. | ||
