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.

Yeah, but he had so many already... i really don't know what Naniwa will do now. His reputation seems kind of bad in korea now.

Where in the GSL Rules did it say that players can't probe rush? If GSL wants to ban players for doing all in strats that they don't care if they win or lose at, then it should be clearly stated in the tournament's rules.

Naniwa should probably sue GOMTV for their improper disqualification. He'd almost 100% win unless Korean laws are drastically different than the US.

So you payed $100 just to watch Naniwa?

According to rules, he broke them and thats the punishment. He didn't play or act professionally and wasted everyones time, even dissapointing his own team ffs. He gets punished accordingly.

You obviously either don't know the whole story or are purposely trolling.

It's not the fact that he probe rushed but the fact why he probe rushed and his attitude towards the whole situation.

According to the rules, yes he did.


What rule did he break?

GOM has a rule in which you are deemed to be unfit of the title of progamer they can ban you.

I translate it:

"If we don't like you we can kick you!"

I just hope Nani won't take this too harshly, yesterday showed how emotionally unstable he is after losing those games, he's going to be devastated when he hears his code S spot which he worked so hard for is taken away...

Thats what happens when you spit in face of people that you are supposed to work for/with. Naniwa isn't special snowflake, he should just play his game instead of showing how cool he is. He got what he deserved.

I think Naniwa had no idea that this would be such a big deal. He thought that he was just being Naniwa.

Uh DeMuslim worker rushed in ESWC qualifiers when he found out he couldn't go, it's not like worker rushing as a means of forfeiting a game is unprecedented.

And Naniwa did tell GOM he intended to forfeit the game IIRC.


Telling GOM that he intended to forfeit and GOM told him to play the match out...what does anyone expect to happen to naniwa after not playing the match out? The punishment was obviously going to come. =T

If it's true that he hold them he intended to forfeit GOM seriously should have warned him beforehand that this would be what they were gonna do.

Once again.... such a horrible move by GOM, it's amazing how quickly they can blow away all their respect with one move.

Yeah, unlike naniwa who has lost my respect over the course of many, many actions.

Calling NaNiWa a "prizemoney hunter" is just about the most retarded thing i've ever heard, i can't even tell if they're joking or are genuinely stupid.

this must be a joke huge overraction.. Im defiantly not gonna pay to watch GSL anymore wtf.

He didnt broke any rules at all and thats a fact. Should he have done it? No. But banning him from GSL a spot he earned?.

It seems the koreans just dont like Naniwa and wanted him out nothing todo with justice or fairness

Fixe that for you. Unless you mixe up your names an you meant Naniwa instead of GOM.


So fail.

GL in the future Naniwa, I respect your drive to be the best.

Funny how the GOM wants to say he is a money hunter.... why would you play the farce of a tournament (GSL) if you want to make money? He could make more/easier money sitting at home streaming and winning Euro/NA tourneys.

At least get your bullshit lies straight GOM.

This is so fucking stupid. I cannot believe that I have supported GOMTV with my money until now. I have paid for almost every season so far, and then they go ahead and do this kind of shit? I am never ever watching another GSL event, and I am sure as hell not buying any more tickets.

This is literally just shitting on their viewers. Do they really expect people to pay for their sevices, and get emotionally engaged in their players, when they just ban players on a whim? Not even a warning? Not a fine?

GOMTV, I sincerely regret to ever have bought your services, and I feel utterly betrayed as a customer. I hope you are fucking happy.


I think GOM wants to show good Starcraft. Not drone rushing.

Fans are mad obviously


If they want to show good starcraft they should give players an incentive to compete instead of forcing idiotic showmatches.

I think this is an overreaction, but its a completely different culture out there, its hard to say whats really an overreaction. There are plenty of things people do to get banned in the US or EU that might be okay elsewhere. If this is only for a season, I think its fine. Ill say this, that game wasnt pointless anymore HAH lol.

How incredibly unprofessional of Mr. Chae calling Naniwa a "prize-money hunter". Shame on you, Mr. Chae, including such opinions in a ruling.

As for the punishment, it was expected though I still think it's way out of proportion. They should have just fined him and banned him from further invitationals.
Naniwa made an extremely poor descision but this kneejerk punishment only reflects poorly upon GomTV.


Choya tweeted a similar insult at Naniwa after the game - the same Choya that lost his progamer career after being caught matchfixing, although it was kept quiet.

Naniwa would not live in Korea if he only cared about money. It is not the easiest way to make money.


Korean scene has some serious double standards going on.

This is soo disgusting, seriously. If he says he couldnt have played a good game anyways and couldnt deliver a good show, then what is the point of forcing him to play?

had he just 4 gated, same result...


You've obviously never played organized sports have you? If so, you would understand that despite being in a losing and unwinnable situation, you still try your best. When the Lakers are whooping on the Clippers by 30 points with 2minutes left in the game, the refs don't just call it quits. The coach of the Clippers doesn't forfeit the game. The players still play the game out.

It's called being sportsmanlike, and if you don't act that way you deserve the repurcussions given to you.


Because they cant since theoretical something impossible could happen.. Like the munich vs manchester game.. But the referee finishes the game the moment the official time is over..

They can't because there are paying customers/sponsers/fans/Tv stations involved. Very similar to this.

GSL will go on without you. I guess you guys aren't capable of respecting other peoples' opinions. Especially the ones that matter (that is, GOM staff as a whole).

Seriously?


Im just not going to support an organisation that does stupid stuff liuke that, unfortunatly they will never notice but if no one steps up nothing will ever happen in anything.. I respect their opinion but I still think theyre a bunch of hypocrites and cant be ttaken serious..

the point is to provide quality games and good entertainment

if the player "played the game" by leaving his probes idle and walking out of the booth and dancing I wouldn't want him in the gsl either


edit gom is hypocritical? how? when did this ever happen before?

Given the way he's been playing lately, he might actually qualify for Code A.


He lost his seed plus was banned next season.
