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. |
Haha wow, what a joke. Man up GOMTV, acting like a bunch of sissies. Doubt I will purchase another ticket for GSL.

The main point here is that Naniwa is being punished for breaking a rule that doesnt exist. Its simply unprofessional practice by GOM. match fixing is a rule that doesn't exist now? Don't talk about terms you obviously have no idea about what they mean. Match fix: occurs as a match is played to a completely or partially pre-determined result. tell me which part of Naniwa's action was not match fixing Naniwa wasn't going to throw the match if he won the other matchs or if nestea won the other matchs? Also this is more to just throwing a match not match fixing at all. throwing a match is match fixing... Except both of them were out of the tournament, so what were they trying to fix, huh? You are still match-fixing. Doesn't mean it's a malicious sAviOr type of thing, but by definition it's match-fixing. Match fixing occurs between the cooperation of 2 parties, with a pre-determined positive result for one of them. None of this happened. It was a thrown game that is all, stop blowing it out of proportion. Match fixing can occur without cooperation of 2 parties. Just like in soccer game, you kick the ball into your own net. And what savior, luxury etc did in BW are also 1 side only, not 2 parties.
I'll find that comparison meaningful when you find me a game where a person throws a friendly match that doesn't count for anything in Soccer.

I think there's so much backlash against Naniwa throwing his match due to the lingering bad-taste from the recent BW match-fixing scandal. Also, of course there's the Korean cultural aspect, but I'm thinking the former is a much more likely reason why they're taking this so seriously.

Naniwa anti-establishment. I love this guy. Yeah, great for growing eSports. Sorry, that was sarcasm. Naniwa needs to step it up or he doesn't deserve to work under the banner of eSports. Yeah I said work, like actually doing his job. Probe rushing is not his job, entertaining/competing (the same fucking thing) is his job.
all sports need drama and this will grow esports for a little bit, but it has left a void where players are not going to know how they should act and might turn everyone into a BW korean robot and that doesn't fly in the west, in the west drama and character have a big impact on viewers and if they try and make everyone into a robot then it will hurt esports's growth

can someone post Naniwa's probe-rush .gif

When the LA Lakers play the LA Clippers, even though the Clippers dont generally do well or manage to qualify for the NBA playoffs, you dont see the Clippers walking off the court at the start of a game they know will have no meaning to their standing (bottom of the table and definitely not gonna qualify) or the standing of the Lakers (top of the table and already qualified for the playoffs). They play the game to the end irrespective of the implications of the end results. That's called professionalism, and Naniwa needs to learn that.
Just a hypothetical example, i dont want to spawn any Lakers/Clippers hate msgs or smthg of that sort
What Naniwa did was completely unprofessional and disrespectful to Nestea as well as the entire team working behind the scenes trying to make the tournament and SC2 and eSports a success. Such childish and immature behavior deserves punishment, and should definitely not be tolerated, irrespective if Naniwa or HuK or MVP or any other pro-gamer who thinks otherwise.
Anybody who thinks otherwise needs to set aside their naniwa/nestea love/hate, gom rules, or anything else that maybe clouding their judgement. Such behavior would never be acceptable in any other sport or sporting event in the world (football, basketball, etc etc).

This is what i thought as well. IdrA's departure was no big thing, Rain's was a different thing though.

"During a match, a player shall not offend the opponent or audience with abusive behaviors"
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. You still don't get it. It's not about WHAT he did, it's about HOW he did it. How he did it? What he 6 Probe rushed and lost then gg.... that's what he did... Just because someone is offended by how he play isn't breaking the rules its arbitrary based on how the individual he played against and/or audience reacts to what he did. Guess by that double standard then we should ban people for manner mules because its 'offensive' and we should ban people for 6 pool , 2 rax, proxy buildings. You are the one who doesn't get it... Did you watch the game? He never used the keyboard, he grabbed all his probes, a moved into his opponent's base, and did nothing else for the rest of the game. So he should be judged that using one hand cuts his win % by 50 percentage points? Oh okay. So exactly HOW should you use yout body if you would like to GET AWAY with losing a pointless game? So everyone can prepare... At least he A moved and same did Nestea. BAN Nestea for not microing! how about play it seriously? or at least not make it so blatantly obvious.
Then you have to define seriously or it´s just subjective opinions and SHOULD NOT result in harsh punishment!

IdrA gave Bullshit. He left after the Group nominations of GSL March which forced a walkover for 2 out of the 3 players in the group yet. In other words he ruined the group .Yet he wasn't punished in any way but rather given a Code S spot.

Actually growing up means realizing that you cannot always act as you want and that sometimes you do have to follow societal norms and conventions. Naniwa's way of acting is akin to a child throwing a tantrum when he does not get his way and not a adult coming up with a mature and rationale way to deal with it.

Idra left after group selections, but before the start of the tournament.
His games were taken as walkovers.

At the very least don't take your hand off your keyboard and rest your head in your keyboard hand. There's no need for clear guides, just common sense.

No you don't. You need professional gamers that don't act like spoiled children and then you don't need to delineate it.

You can force your ideals and opinions on him all you like. But I bet from his point of view he had nothing to play for. nothing monetary? So he is a money grubbing amateur? Or does he have it in him to play 1 game that a ton of fans wanted to see?
I really doubt Naniwa cares about money either. Of course I'm guessing because I don't actually know him. But I really doubt he's in to SC2 for the money, more the competition. If both players have nothing to play for, why bother pretending?
And so fuck what the fans want. Just because a majority of people want something doesn't mean they deserve it. I wanted to see the game as well, especially after the Leenock game. But to see him play a half arsed game, instead of putting in the great effort and performance as he did in that game would just be much more disappointing to me.

What is pissing me off about this situation is after Nani placed 2nd at MLG everyone was saying how he had achieved code S status and what not. I believe even MLG themselves said so too (someone please correct me if wrong).
If this was incorrect then GOM should have spoken up right then and there (its not like the don't check TL) and said something along the lines of "there was no partnership for the Providence however Nani is a very strong contender to be invited as an invitee" as opposed to all this confusing bullshit now. It would have saved a lot of trouble for all the parties involved. Just seems like PR didnt do their job to well this time..
