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.

The problem is that what's offensive is completely arbitrary. Offense is not something "given", it's "taken". A person can choose to be offended by anything if he wants to, but you cant forcibly offend a person that does not choose not to take offense. This exact post explains exactly why its abhorrent and offensive and out-of-line and GomTV doesn't /Didn't have the grounds to punish NaNiwa for his actions.. Especially unprofessional critcism Mr Chae announces NaNiwa is an amateur prize money hunter. Totally true. This is what I wrote to GOMTV: Dear Gomtv, Banning Naniwa like this and the insulting words mr. Chae has spoken, has made me decide not to watch the GSL anymore and write this e-mail. First of all, you shouldn't make the rules so it can be so widely interpreted: During a match, a player shall not offend the opponent or audience with abusive behaviours. Haven't we seen this many of times though, in different forms, by Korean players, in the GSL? Things like MC's thumbs down, or him bashing his fist on the player booth in GSTL. Not even mentioning the manner mules and Nexi. I think Gom has double standards and should either apply this rule to every player, or make the rules more specific, or (which has my preference) accept that this is part of gaming, emotions and stop worrying about insignificant things like a probe rush. I would rather see him throw away a game that is of no importance anymore, than dragging it out to a late, boring game. This is my opinion though and I am sure many other people think differently. However, if he would have done a 2 gate proxy or 4-gate, like many Koreans do when playing a meaningless game, it would have been acceptable to everyone. The fans and Gom need to accept that if a pro already lost a lot of games, is frustrated and wants to end the last meaningless game quickly they have the right to do so, or stop being damn hypocritical. Anyway, the dumb insulting remarks Mr. Chae made after handing out the ban was in my opinion way over the top and made me decide not to watch a show that has double standards and such an unprofessional CEO. Yours Truly, Piet van der Bijl The Netherlands.
I agree, what Mr.Chae said was very offensive in my eyes. Gom made a decision purely based on korean cultural morals while it is an international tournament. What Nani did was not smart but it was an emotional HUMAN reaction.
Revoking his hard earned Code S seed just doesn't fit the 'crime' and is in my eyes an inhuman punishment.
I won't be watching gsl anymore unless a foreigner plays.

THE PUNISHMENT IS NOT HARSH.
They were going to give him a free spot in code S. He insulted them, they didnt give it to him. HOW IS THAT HARSH!?!?!? Why is Naniway owed or entitled to a spot? I dont understand peoples arguments at all.
I LIKE HIM SO HE DESERVES A CODE S SPOT BECAUSE I SAID SO!!!!
They were going to be nice to him, and he fucked it up. He didnt earn anything. A gift was taken away from him. Thats all.

Its funny how people are like IM NOT GOING TO WATCH THE GSL THIS IS CRAZY, first off, how well do you think naniwa would have done? last time he did gsl he got spanked, his play is very 1 dimensional and thats why he lost to leenock like 4 - 0 (or 4-1) But thats not the most important point Nani was extrememly childish and disrespected the whole blizzard cup, and gomtv can't allow things like that, now or in the future so with this they have effectively done a preemptive strike against this behavior in the future.
Also naniwa was invited to this even and paid like 840 dollars for this, and how good is it for the business model if a player doesnt want to play a game so he like probe rushes? People wanted to see naniwa v nestea and the players play for the spectator thats how they make money, naniwa was getting paid to play that tournament and he should of played it like a professional /rant

FBH shows the utmost professionalism during games,ceremonies are to spice things up AFTER THE GAMES.
I can't believe that people are comparing the two.

Why compare boxing all probes and a-moving to a 7 pool? Why not compare it to boxing the drones and a-moving? One is a valid strategy, one is not.

Only thing even close would be when he gg'd out close positions meta vs jinro's bunker contain on the ramp, I don't remember any other early ggs in GSL play.

Can naniwa make an appeal to kespa like organisation or any form of higher body? I feel like naniwa should be able to make such a move because the current punishment is to severe.

I feel like if it was idra who did this, people would just be like "lol thats idra", and that would be the end of it; but because people dont like naniwa's personality, they find a reason to punish him.

Just because you do something, doesn't make it a strategy.

If GOM wants to be professional they should point out which rule they are enforcing. The rule in the OP about offending the opponent and audience doesnt exist. Its sad that the ppl applauding this fail to see how GOM is hurting esports.
I find it quite depressing that lots of ppl would have prefered if naniwa "pretended" to play his best, and just proceeded to play a mediocre, boring, dull game. But hey, thats the world we live in, hate on those who stand for who they are and are honest.

Classic KeSPA really, can't wait for GOM to rename! Format wasn't bad. We asked them for it.
Format was pretty unprofessional. In a BO5 you don't play out the rest of the games if one of the players goes 3-0. You're not gonna see any good games then because the loser just wants to get it over with, not show good games for the fans.

Send your B team its one thing, but you will never see that B team do goals against their own team, which was what Naniwa did. Um... what? 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. The problem here is that there are no rules that say "using only probes to attack" is not a valid starcraft strategy. This is what makes me the most upset. It's like GOM is trying to control how a starcraft game has to play out, something they will have to take up with Blizzard. I know the rule about not making fun of your opponent or whatever, that rule is waaaay too vague. And considering Naniwa is not from Korea, doesn't know their cultural traditions and preferences, I don't see how they could punish him at all. 6 Probes rush is really not a valid strategy. This point shouldn't really be argued. But people are arguing it when they say it's not a valid strategy. That suggest there are some arbitrary line where you go from valid strategy to unvalid. How do you judge this? People bring up his micro but micro is not strategy. What is a valid strategy? A 6 probe rush cannot win against another zerg of equal caliber unless he went 6 pool, and EVEN THEN if he wasn't very good at defending against a probe rush. Probes lose to drones 1 on 1, and if he went 6 pool he would be able to get out 8 to 9 drones to defend (cancel the pool). So here are the two scenarios: 1) Naniwa is throwing the game because he doesn't care. Evidence? He didn't micro, he didn't have his hand on the keyboard, people in the audience could see him playing one-handed. In this scenario, there is no strategy. It's a "I give up immediately" sign. 2) Naniwa massively disrespects Nestea, using a build that can only beat someone of a lower caliber. In this case, probe rush is a strategy. However he doesn't even bother to micro so... Which one do you want to pick? If Naniwa was already in Code S and the revoke his Code S and banned him from competing at all, I would say that's far too harsh and GOM is completely in the wrong. His current punishment still feels too strong to me (as Naniwa will more than likely tilt from this and Quantic is going to be very unhappy), but it's not the end of the world. You are missing the point. The rules clearly stated that the top placing individual regardless of country of origin at MLG providence received a Code S spot. That is as clear cut as it can get. Mr Chae slandering a player on air calling him a greedy money hunter that is unforgivable, then lying about the fact that Naniwa had a code S spot, so bad mannered.
Buddy, if you want to say that Naniwa earned his spot in Code S because of MLG Providence, or that Mr. Chae insulted Naniwa, argue that with the other people in the thread. I'm only responding to the whole concept that the 6 probe rush can be considered a valid strategy.

This wasn't the kindness of their heart. They have a business arrangement with MLG. They might not be obligated to Nani but I bet they're obligated to MLG.

We pay to see to Starcraft matches, if players can't provide entertaining ones then they shouldn't play. In this sense it is just like the UFC, who supports fighters who provide entertaining fights win or lose, because that is how the UFC makes money. A pro player is not an entertainer, he is not paid to entertain. He is paid to win, he provides us with entertainment by proxy of attempting to win. If the player has nothing to win, you can't demand entertainment as result, since entertainment is not what he is there for, nor what he is paid for. Quite a big difference. Sure a player can entertain with nothing on the line for the sake of fans, respect or whatever else, but you shouldn't punish someone for not doing something they are neither there for or paid to do, without making that rather explicitly clear in your rules and terms for the competition. Pride is something. Not going 0-4 is something. Not coming off as a baby and insulting Korea's biggest SC2 tournament would have been great.

You're suggesting we punish thoughtcrime?

Can the thread title be renamed?
Seeing how Slasher (MLG representative and all) has stated that Nani wasn't actually awarded a code S slot for his providence performance, a more accurate title would be 'GomTV decides not to invite Naniwa to Code S January'.

I wish he could. Then kespa could ban him from e-sports for willfully wasting people's time/money failing to fulfill an obligation he agreed to.
