EPTNaNiwa not invited to Code S - Page 253
| 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. | ||

If you are going to argument that way, then 100% of the pro gamers can take games off anyone but the chances are so minimal it doesn't happen. If you fail to see that Naniwa is a top foreigner then as I already said, you have already made up your mind about it and won't realize the truth, thus you have nothing to contribute with to this discussion. | ||

Really says a lot about the sc2 community. The fact that people are like LULZ I FOUND IT HILARIOUS... sigh. At least it seems like these people constitute <50% of the posters. Personally I could care less, I just find the fact that people are defending naniwa to be mindblowing. Apparently you care more than you would admit. | ||

If this goes thru I am not purchasing de pass as protest. It looks like GOMTV will have to file for bankrupcy due to this happening... | ||

GOM is forcing the korean principles on StarCraft over the foreign scene and i don't actually like that. You really think it's a Korean principle to, if you're paid to have people watch you play a game, actually make some attempt at playing the game? | ||

We should have been able to read the agreement directly. Dude, they are going to make up whatever rules fit whatever they want to do. There is no contractual obligations in eSports, there is only the community and the tournament organizers. If they don't want NaNi to play, he won't play. If in the future they decide no foreigners can play, then that's what will happen. There is no regulation, we all depend on the people who run GSL, MLG, etc to maintain a standard that is impartial. When they cite ambiguous rules that can easily be construed to fit the actions of multiple players in the past then we just have to accept their actions. If HuK had been banned from MLG after his actions at DC 2010 and later admitting to throwing his game against Select on SOTG, the community would have been in an uproar. But, this is NaNi in the GSL so half the community is not thinking about the situation and its implications. | ||

Don't treat it like is cake. He's 0-10 in GSL right now, and if he can't get through code B, then I think it means he's just not good enough. I personnally won't miss him if he can't get to code S again and get stuck in code B. | ||

You can't have a rule that literally means players can't play a game outside the preferences of the GomTV management, and then not state what those preferences are-rules have to be clear and precise in a real, professional business environment. The GomTV management have proved themselves more incompetent with every step they've taken in regards to this incident, and have perhaps even acted illegally. I doubt Quantic would want to go through the hassle of suing them when NaNiWa was not actually banned, but they should, for themselves and the entire community who would be much better off if Mr. Chae and the GomTV management were removed and replaced with people more able to organize and run an event like the GSL. Uh, not to be silly here, but you have no idea how Korean contracts are interpreted, or how a court might rule. Note: I am a lawyer, but not in Korea. Unless you are a Korean lawyer, it's a bit silly to state how a relevant court (i.e. Korea--it's a Korean situation) would rule. | ||

- Naniwa should have just played the game, but it's much easier to make this decision in retrospect when we have all witnessed the reaction of Korea and others. - Despite this, however, I still stand behind Naniwa even though he probe rushed. He had just suffered a bitter 0 - 3 defeat, and it was impossible for him to advance in the tournament. He was about to play a (tournament-wise) meaningless match. People who have followed Naniwa knows that the only thing that matters to Naniwa is winning, second place is nothing to him. Yes, he still should have played the game but I understand why, in the heat of the moment, he made that decision. - Team MVPs official twitter message is in my opinion much more unprofessional than this whole incident. To officially hate on Naniwa this way, even though he has been training in their team house, is just really, really low. - Calling Naniwa an amateur prize money hunter on Blizzard tournament's live stream is just as unprofessional as what Team MVP twittered. - Not letting him have his code S spot (that he himself earned) because he chose not to play an irrelevant match is a stupid decision. GSL really overreacted here. - Final point: Naniwa made a bad decision, and GSL/Korea/Other overreacted. Naniwa deserves better. He did not try to intentionally disrespect anyone. | ||

I mean hiring English caster, renting house for foreigners who would be likely to go home after one playday and free stream for all of us non-korean. Why would GOM do that if it's not for the sake of e-sport ? | ||

GOM is forcing the korean principles on StarCraft over the foreign scene and i don't actually like that. That match had to been canceled. The grudge match we all expected was not when they were both 0-3 and lost all motivation. People brining this lie to themselves that it was an important match. Non of the both players could have bragged about that match even if they played seriously because of the circumstances. And the reasoning is clearly subjective and addressed to Naniwa because the same characteristics apply to idrA, the new invite but we don't see them to have any problem with him at the moment. first off, foreigners WANT to play in GSL. koreans don't need them to show up LOL. if youre going to play in somebody else's house, you better play by their rules. it was a pointless match. then again, why do MLG players keep playing even when they know they can't win the championship? idra's the next highest ranked foreigner so... | ||

No. GOM made decisions to get more money, just like any other company does. They are no heroes, they just know that foreigners mean a new market. This has nothing to do with being the good guys but with thinking economically... (It's not that I think they aren't nice, but it's just naive to think this is the reason behind involving foreign pros) Also I think It's totally unprofessional to just decline a Code S spot that was earned through playing a tournament. It's not like they gave him the spot for free, he earned it. Thus he should not get punished so harsh, just because he used a tactic that GOM didn't approve of. That's really dirty. | ||

It's completely untrue, if you believe it then you don't know a fucking thing about Naniwa. The head of the GSL publicly slandering a player while simultaneously complaining about lack of professionalism seems incredibly hypocritical to me. I wonder how Mr Chae feels about Stephano, someone who is completely open about the fact that he is only in it for the money. Regardless of whether or not Naniwa deserved to lose his Code S spot over this, such statements are completely out of line. | ||
