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.

What does this have to do with anything?
It sucks for Naniwa, but it's not like GOM hasn't set a precedent for these things. Can anyone name a player who has done something wrong and not been punished.
Byun/Coca? Punished by their teams before GOM could.
Choya? Banned from playing in the GSTL.
Naniwa? His Code S spot taken away, but not banned and allowed to qualify the hard way.
If Naniwa is Code S class, he'll at least make it through the Code A qualifiers, so I don't know why people are worried. If Naniwa is worthy of Code S, we'll see him again, for the fourth time, in Code A in January.

If Naniwa was Zerg and would have been 7 Pooling a Terran, would he have lost his Code S spot? because this matters why? its quite obvious that he wasn't trying, his hand wasn't even on his keyboard the entire game beside the first 1-a move It matters because it has the same chance of winning and is a strategy that decides the game quickly. Yes, taking his hands off was over the top, agreed. But Naniwa was not raised in a culture where you're not supposed to show any emotions. He was very disappointed about losing the first three games so close - and they all all-inned him - what led to him showing emotions. I've seen someone win a GSL match after 6pooling (I think it was July). Have you ever seen anyone win with a probe rush in GSL, or even in a league higher than bronze? Nope, so it doesn't have the same chance of winning. I said 7 Pool vs. Terran for a reason. Make it 8 Pool or 9 Pool if you wish.
IdrA 6 pooled Jinro in the GSL. It was a close game.

I'm pretty sure a contract will state that the organisers will be able to take it away from you if they want. So ........
I don't understand why everyone has such a sense of entitlement to everything.

So 6 rush probe is actually completely within the rules.
And it's not the strategy that is the issue here.
It's about being earnest and being professional about your job, which is the obvious qualification of participating in GSL, not just your tournament wins and win/loss ratios.

Scumbag GSL Haters: "not gonna watch GSL again" "watch free stream and follow LR" haha Anyone intelligent enough can just get the VODs from some place else. Sup GOM, I'm getting GSL without giving you anything, not even a free stream view. Yeah, have fun not watching GSL then You seem to be misunderstanding. One can watch the VODs without paying GOM or watching the free stream. That's my plan.
Is that NOT watching GSL in your opinion?

I guess it was stupid answering a generalization with another, but its just so frustrating to see all these post "oh i see... you are swedish". It bugs the hell out of me, it has nothing to do with being swedish, is has to do with being a NaNi fan(or rather on what side you are on).

ok i'll make it simple because its very confusing, basically its "do whatever the fuck you want, but at least try to win regardless of the stakes"

Remember you can still cancel your GOM subscriptions.

I think that what a lot of people here fail to understand is that this is really the only course GOM can take. How could they punish him more moderately? They dont have the power to fine him or sanction him, they only have control over their own content.
Naniwa sabotaged hyped content for them. So many people were caught up in the "thumbs down" drama and were eagerly anticipating the set. Also the fact that other players have done similar things makes this MORE of a problem, not less.
In the end some sort of punishment had to happen and I think naniwa should be apologizing to GOM for forcing their hand. We all mess up and if he accepts responsibility it would do wonders for his image personally and professionally.

Naniwa is known to be bad mannered only after losing streaks. Seen him playin wc3? I feel like he only changed because he had success. Maybe i'm wrong, but after the bad GSL performance he managed to not gg, now he managed to throw a game.

"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"

This is completely outrageous. I understand that there are cultural differences, but this is just wrong. GOM is not taking any responsibility for running a tournament where completely inconsequential games can occur. I think they should have given him an official warning or something, and then altered the rules for future tournaments to reflect the "no throwing games" policy. But revoking a Code S seed for not not breaking any actual rules?
I'm not saying Naniwa is blameless. I think his actions were a mistake and unprofessional, but I feel like there will be a lot of backlash from this and their subscriber numbers will noticeably suffer. I too will not be purchasing a GSL package.

It's going to be fun to see how many players they ban with this rule which bans all-ins and cheeses.
Since it's applicable to Naniwa, it should apply to anyone who does an all-in or cheesy play.
And manner mules and /dance, and BM CCs.
It doesn't ban all-ins or cheesy play, it doesn't ban showmanship. Though the rule itself is made to be ambiguous, it's application seems to be reserved for players showing up and straight up throwing games.
Korea has always had very low tolerance for behavior like this.

if a game doesnt matter, ask the players if they want or dont want to play the game, if not, then give w.o
its retarded and naniwa is the one taking the blow here for something that wasnt his fault so it would have gone in your mind to play like naniwa? in one of the most prestigious tournaments? just look like how extremely bored he looks. so disrespectful, while he could have gained so much respect. i suppose you have seen the video or even the live game, but go here if you haven't www.fomos.kr/gnuboard4/bbs/board.php?bo_table=talk_gossip&wr_id=394130 you dont ban a player for not having his hands on his keyboard while playing, if that was the case sjow wouldnt be a progamer anymore (:D) also you dont ban someone for looking bored this is a proffecional sports and players play by the rules of the tournament. naniwa did not break any rules. what is there left to say? Hahaha Morrow thats just so mean to sjow. lol Ahm.. If Naniwa would just have done nothing at all, this would also not be ban worthy? Because.. He is in the game, he just did do nothing... Because well... He was 100% throwing that game on behalf, i don't care how it looked.. No one should care how it looked. He did it, he got what you should get for stuff like this.
we are progamers, not actors. if you want to watch acting go pay for a movie instead of a sc2 tournament
they tournament admins again, must allow players to give walkover in a match that doesnt matter. its the format and the rules that allow stuff like this to happen. situations where players dont want to win, always gets messy. so im not saying what naniwa did was ethical or not, that doesnt matter to me. what matters to me is that gsl fucks up, points the finger at naniwa but not only that, punishes him for not acting a game
if i was in naniwas position id request for a walkover, if not id drink 10 cups of coffee and get some food poisioning or some shit. because a player never wants to act serious in a game. because if he loses people think he played bad and serious, and if he wins, people know his build order. its a lose lose situation for a player to get into a situation where he has to play a televised game that doesnt matter
