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. | ||

I was ok with Naniwa having some kind of punishment for his behaviour, but GOMTV should stick to it's own rules and not resort to this bullshit to kick Naniwa out | ||

This wasn't the only event either. GOM has had problems with their Korean players as well. You seem to be missing the point... Naniwa (Probably) Signed a contract where it was stated that he was supposed to play a group stage round robin. It probably didn't say anything about forfeiting matches in case you have no chance of advancing. He tried to ask for a walkover. The organizers said he had to play because it was the agreement. Naniwa went and tried to be a smart ass. He broke the agreement, and now gom has the right to break the agreement and take his code S spot too. You know why some up/down matches are not played when players have no chance of advancing? Probably because some tournament admin walks up to them and ask if they want to play the last matches, they say no, the admin says ok, and they go home. Both parts have to agree in order to break some contract. Then again, there might not even be a piece of paper, and I could be totally wrong. But I guess we'll never know unless GOM or naniwa speak up about it. | ||

I couldnt care less about him throwing a game honestly, but what baffled me is that he thought it would end up fine and that nobody would want to see a "real" game (see interview). He really needs to improve his social skills. | ||

Based on the backlash by (mostly) swedish people, I would say it may have a flaw. However, there are some major tournaments in the world that runs by group stage-> tournament format without any of this bullshit going on. Also IMO, GOM did not have to baby lecture Naniwa about how he was required to at least put the least amount effort. Naniwa agreed to play knowing the format before hand... and now suddenly he finds the format BS when he is 0-3. yeah whatever. Most of all, I dont even think this kind topic is debatable. I'm a avid sports fan and I would have flipped out if something like this happened in any other sports. Where plays just dick around and do nothing. If this behaviour is accepted in Sweden, I want to move there. Because I can find every loophole in the contract and just mail it in. | ||

Swedes does´n´t liek hypocrites and fakes as far as I have seen and therefore they don´t care much for "fake" matches. Naniwa still joined the game but simply played it out in the most ineffective way possible for a win. So laughable that he gets punished for it. | ||

That said I'm was about to buy GSL code but I'm less likely when they don't live up to the G in GSL. I hereby solemnly swear to buy access to GSL when either SASE or NANIWA gets in. HUK, Stephano or | ||

I'm SURE GSL wouldn't have minded that right? The fact that GSL even took this decision without factoring in their partnership is even worse than I thought initially. This could literally break the exchange program. | ||
