EPTNaNiwa not invited to Code S - Page 222
| Forum Index > Closed |
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. | ||

Since the players have something to gain from these games they can improve their chances for a spot in the staring line up for the next game, and some of them might even have salaries depending on how many games they play. So dont make retarded arguments please since Naniwa had nothing to gain from that game. In this case, NaNiWa is a team. This tournament is with teams of 1, and so NaNiWa is competing as such. He could easily play his B game and try to improve one of his totally random and weird ladder cheeses or something. Or he could play to improve his win %. Or he could play to give an additional "YEAH NESTEA THAT'S RIGHT, I'M BETTER THAN YOU ARE". In this case, NaNiWa probably just forfeit the game because he didn't want to get trashed by NesTea and hear a bunch of crap for it. He probably thought "I'm not playing well today, NesTea will probably rape me, I don't feel like hearing bullshit after getting completely owned by NesTea. I guess I'll just throw the game". | ||

Not only that, throwing the game disrespected his opponent, and wasted an opportunity that other people would have loved to have. Audience members and fans who might have payed specifically to see him play, especially against Nestea, were all also dissapointed. If you want e-sports to be taken seriously you need "professional" standards, and Naniwa quite simply wasn't living up to them. Also, seems he was being given the spot, and consequently it being taken away is very understandable. The main problem really is how obvious the disrespect was. The gesture left no room for interpretation in any other way. You can't do something like that and expect to get away with it. Especially considering GOM was apparently gifting the spot to him, giving him an 'unfair' advantage over other players who needed to qualify 'properly'. The degree of punishment that should've been taken can be debated, but punishment was definately required. | ||

But Naniwa still pissed off lots of koreans and progamers. Gom acted on that. But suddenly they are communists, hypocritical, double standards, evil and kespa. ...... | ||

HuK took it seriously while in prior matches in the All-Star thing MKP had reverted to being Clare and MC was off racing as well as LosirA. That was something was blatantly not to be taken seriously. 3. Show me absolute proof HerO threw the match instead of attempting to win or shut up with ridiculous accusations. About that second nestea stuff what matter was with nani vs nestea winner got only honour the match didnt effect anyway on tournament this only happenend cause naniwa is naniwa. | ||

As for cella doing stupid shit that's his business whereas choya just wanted to mass up points really quickly without playing i believe. | ||

If he just did a 4 gate and lost, no one would have thought he was throwing it away. Some may have even pitied him due to frustration. Others would have applauded him for playing his best in the last game. If he just did a 4 gate, and then said he in an interview he didn't bother at all and he just wanted to finish it quickly, i assure you many people would be offended as well. If Naniwa 4Gated it'd be so obvious he wasn't trying and had no care at all. It wouldn't even be a proper 4gate, he'd just 4gate and do it as badly as possible to lose as quickly as possible. I guess some people are really dumb and wouldn't realise unless Naniwa straight up said that he didn't care about the game. | ||

All the koreans watch this so they can get their fill for SC2 GSL/GOMtv is a Business Naniwa is a pawn in the business. Naniwas job is to give SC2 games because he is a PRO, that is why he is THERE Naniwa DID NOT fulfill his job. You cannot call that a game of sending probes. Please dont say this is even a legitimate strategy, thats just some technical bullcrock. Would you even do it on ladder? GSL was like well **** you, you dont make our business look good peace /Endofthisnaniwa You seem to be missing the point. A game that has nothing on the line means players don't play 100%. What Johan did was an extreme example of this and should make the organizers question their practice and rules to begin with. Not enough incentive to play. Player is only there to win and you have the two bottom feeders playing for 150 USD more? Give me a break. He didn't break any rules. Other professional athletes do all sorts of stuff like this all the time. Pro Gamers do this all the time too. Once again, Johan took it to the extreme and should make event organizers see the backslash of putting players in these scenarios where they only want to WIN. GOM is putting their cultural beliefs first and making a scapegoat of Johan when there are already dozens of events where shit like this has happened. Once again, extreme example. GOM's stance is simply the following: Not in our House. Well, you should have written the code of conduct for your Tournament beforehand and informing all the players. Not after one event. This wasn't the only event either. GOM has had problems with their Korean players as well. | ||

LOL) If he was such a professional, he would of just sucked it up and 4gated Nestea. Nobody would of gave him shit and it would of cost him 6 more minutes of his oh so precious time. At this level of play, a probe rush is not a strategy, it's not a cheese, it's just a way of telling everyone "I cannot be bothered with this tournament anymore". So please for the love of god can you ignorant fanboys stop comparing this to "all-in" builds that other players have done WHICH ACTUALLY HAVE A CHANCE OF WORKING. He knew exactly what he was doing, and I am actually starting to think he thrives from all the bullshit drama he creates. The only problem is, it won't be long before he has worked his way through every team willing to give him a chance. I feel most sorry for Quantic Gaming after this whole affair, definitely not Naniwa. The point is Naniwa kept his competitive integrity intact. He could of simply of played some half-assed show match and 4-gated. He could easily of done that and lied about why he chose to do it in the post-game interview. It would of still be a sham match though, only appeasing the deluded. I'm not going to do anything as drastic as cancel my years subscription to gom but I hope Naniwa has sent a clear message to them that these tournament formats are terrible. | ||

Does a 3rd place match matter if the difference between 3rd and 4th is small? Is it up to the player to decide that? What if the organizer scheduled for it? | ||

Rules get made this way, not everyone thinks about situations that may or may not happen at all to make them. You get jailed or the death punishment for killing and that was not a "rule" since the beginning of time. | ||
