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. | ||

It's a bit harsh, but sometimes that's what has to be done. | ||

Call me bias all you want, but look at the foreigners achievments and compare them. That shoulden't be so hard even for you. | ||

Whether the outcome matters is irrelavant. If I go to work today and no customers come in, my boss still has to pay he. He can't decide not to. Likewise if I go in tomorrow and don't work while there are customers there, he has the right to fire me. This is how the world works. His personal view on the situation at the time doesn't matter. He did his job. Even if he was contracted to play a game vs. Nestea regardless of their 0-3 records, he sat in the booth and started the game. It's not like he didn't show up. You don't like his strategy? You don't like the lack of entertainment? Tough luck. Plenty of people don't like cheese and all-in strategies any more than a worker rush; they consider not standard play "not even trying". You can't make a person try to win a game that has no meaning for them. He did what he needed to do. | ||

He also qualified for Code A, and this season, by making it back to Code S after losing in the first round, proved that he deserves to be there. He also finished first in his group in this very tournament that Naniwa went 0-4... | ||

Either Naniwa made a rational, self-interested and legal decision and GOMTV did too, or Naniwa did something unacceptable and GOMTV is punishing him for it. You can't say that Naniwa is allowed to act purely out of self-interest but that GOMTV is not. In both cases, there is no written or legal contract being violated, only social expectations. | ||

Was taking away his Code S spot harsh? Maybe. But it might make players think twice before they do this sort of thing in a tournament. (It might not make Naniwa think twice but he's not the only player intended to receive this message.) | ||

How does that correlate to the fact that your hero is an even bigger BMer? I like them both but how the hell can you stand by idrA completely and toss Naniwa under the bus or are you under cover koreans with fake accounts? Unlike naniwa who amoves probes and shits on all the viewers, idra tries his best, get crushed, and then start bming/ranting about protoss op. | ||

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. Yeah, not the first time to see head of teams or coaches etc slandering players either... Different dynamic in the country. | ||

He's not very articulate about what to do in a business sense (and I like that quality of him going against the grain), but he does realize the politics and apologizes when he felt fans were/are upset. Yet, as a community all we do is piss on him for being the person he is, but treat Day9 as a "fuckable puppet" as per last night's SoTG. So the justification is that it's fine for Day9 to "act the way he does" as long as it agrees with the hive mentality. Even Idra can't take the shit most of the time... I can't believe how many people hate him one day, and love him another just for him not putting on a show or acting out of character. It's all hopping on the bandwagon and little thinking--Nani is caught in the middle. | ||

Every time something like this happens, he's always tweeting "I didn't mean to do it", but really he needs to start considering the potential consequences of his actions. He's in Korea and the GSL is a TV show. We're not just talking about being able to play good SC2 here, we're also talking about having good showmanship. Just look at HuK and MC, they're just as "cocky" as Nani is, but they adapt to what the fans want and they follow the rules instead of just doing whatever feels right. Honestly, if Nani had sat up straight and probe rushed while looking concentrated, this might not have happened. I honestly hope that Naniwa will change after this. He's a great player, but he won't last very long playing like that. | ||
