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!

- Comparing people to Hitler
- Posting useless one liners of arguments that have already been repeated ad nauseum.

I typed this a couple of times but I'll do it again. You are misinformed sir.
The deal for 2011 GSL/MLG did not apply to the 2012 season. Naniwa did not win any prize (Code S seed) but he was a candidate for a privilege position. GOM decided that he was not professional enough.

To be completely honest, I'm just happy that Naniwa finally got what was coming to him. Hopefully he'll learn from this.

I'm going to to add other than that I think that Gom was completely right.

This whole, "in rome do as the romans do" thing.

Why are we acting like korean sc2 and 'western' sc2 are two completely different cultures and rules? Yes Korea has a completely different culture. But are you seriously defending that excusing his actions with no consequence and blatantly not seeing what he did and continues to do constantly being a problem is a 'Western' thing? So just, being unprofessional and it being completely okay is part of Western culture now?

For now on players are going to have to play the way we want them to play!

Oh give me a fucking break.


I don't think you're getting this. the difference is not " a minute" the difference is that one is a strategy that has a 0% chance of winning outside of bronze league, and that naniwa A moved and took his hands off the keyboard completely, while the other had a legitimate chance to work eve at high levels.

I think people should stop spreading misconception that Naniwa had his code s slot removed for probe rushing Nestea.

1. Naniwa won a slot in Blizzard Cup for his 2nd place place.
2. GOM considered inviting him to code s but he blew it by showing what he thought about his last game. Watch the korean vod on youtube. naniwa one hand probe rush. He showed a total i dont care mindset that is 180 degree of what gom wants from players in gsl.
He isnt banned from gsl. He just have to prove he is worthy of being code s player - and i dont mean skill but mentality.

I think that rule is a really fair justification. Worker rushing arguable the best zerg in the world and taking your hands off the keyboard is insulting to not only the other player, but gomtv and professional starcraft in general.

He wasn't thinking and obviously didn't expect to get knocked out of code S, but it is what it is. Maybe he'll be more serious about the game and realize he's not the one who decides what games matter and what games don't.

No, I read the OP and I think this is bullshit. What he did wasn't "abusive behavious" and its a HUGE stretch to call it such. he played the game how he choose to and then lost because of it. It was not abusive to the audience of opponent in any way. He's not required to play the game how they want.

This was clearly just an excuse to boot him because they did not approve of what he did, rather than as a punishment for an actual rule violation.

People who play showmatches don't have anything at stake, so should it be allowable for them to just throw those games completely?

There shouldn't need to be an explicit rule about this kind of behavior: it should be self explanatory. Imagine you tuned into a football game where one team had no possibility of making the playoffs and they decide to just not play any defense for the rest of the game. It's about respecting you opponent, your fans, and your tournament. He wasn't expected to play his fingers off, but he should at least have the respect for NesTea to give him a legitimate game.

Look at Choya. He was playing rock paper scissors against people for ladder games, and EVEN THOUGH that wasn't even affiliated with GOM at all, he received a ban from the GSTL. Are you going to argue there should have been a specific rule saying you can't rock paper scissors on the ladder? I hope this whole thing gives Naniwa a wake up call to fix his attitude.


He "should" give NesTea a good game sure. But by no means does he have to. He is his own player, and his audience can't tell him how to play his games. I hate how everybody here just presumes he should have to do what they want for them. Bullshit. he can do what he wants.

on the other hand, booting him from GSL, without any real rules broken is bullshit and a huge violation of GSL's duty. You can't just kick a player out because they don't like what they did....or evidently you can. Watch out IdrA, GSL might kick you out if you do something they don't like.


So you are saying professional football teams should be allowed to throw games and not have any repercussions? It's the same thing. Do you expect any LEGITIMATE, sport to allow a player to act in that manner? There's no rule in football that says, "you have to play defense" but there's no way they would let that happen in a real game. If esports is to be taken seriously there has to be consequences for this kind of behavior.

I don't understand why people say Naniwa has the "bad boy" image, all I see is a kid throwing temper tantrums like a 5 year old. Not that my opinion is any better than anyone elses, but how is this not Nanwia saying "well if I am not getting it my way then fuck you"
That's about the most "bad boy" behavior you can expect among nerds.

So professionalism for players requires to always play for the win. But there are games with bold game bm, like self-nuking, dancing, manner buildings etc. Even though it's quite rare, sometimes the bold bm offender actually turns out to be a fool and loses the game after overextending some silly bm like that. By these terms, then, such bm is unprofessional behavior.

I think a player should be free to set his own challenges. In a Bo7, he should be allowed to give 2 games advantage to his opponent, if he feels like that would be a better challenge for him etc.

Professional football teams DO throw games. Maybe not as openly or blatantly, but in order to get higher draft picks teams lose on purpose all the time. Seen the colts lately?

And even if there does have to be some sort of punishment, getting kicked out the league is too much.

I think the decision was coming, and GOM has the right to do whatever it wants with its own tournament; that said, if you're upset at them and want to boycott more power to ya. But a statement like

is just ignorance. It has the best SC2 players, a great format, and a great VOD page. Every season I've bought has been well worth the money.

DH/MLG/NASL are all good but I usually don't have time to catch a whole weekend of games (plus there's so much downtime b/w games at those events), but GSL with its VODs are great for me to catch a few matches a night.

He had it coming, calling MLG a joke tournament in front of a huge audience, calling nestea an idiot, refusing to shake hands with drg, and now refusing to play a game he was paid to play

He may get away with it in the western countries but in Korea if you dont know what the word respect is you better go home, he acted like an a**hole and he should be treated like one, good decision by GOM, I'm buying my tickets this season


Well i didn't know what to think about all this but after reading your post (and his TLDP page) i must say i quite agree with you.
He clearly don't know what respect is. The only rule of competition (sport or e-sport) is fair play and he isn't.

I agree with GOM's decision and i will agree with further bans if he misbehave again.

exactly, if naniwa did that, there would be no problem. but nah, it was like they threw their first pass and just walked out of the field.

whatever the case, he brought this upon himself. if i was sundance, i woudl have kicked naniwa from mlg after saying "this tournament is a joke" in plain view.

in my opinion, attitude matters more than skill.

No, the new system always stated that there would be two Code S invites. Everyone assumed that the MLG high finisher would get it but they never stated that it was definitive.

People are too busy looking at the individual event here too much. It wasn't the fact that he probe rushed that really set people off, it's the fact that he so clearly and blatantly threw the game. People who play showmatches don't have anything at stake, so should it be allowable for them to just throw those games completely?

There shouldn't need to be an explicit rule about this kind of behavior: it should be self explanatory. Imagine you tuned into a football game where one team had no possibility of making the playoffs and they decide to just not play any defense for the rest of the game. It's about respecting you opponent, your fans, and your tournament. He wasn't expected to play his fingers off, but he should at least have the respect for NesTea to give him a legitimate game.

Look at Choya. He was playing rock paper scissors against people for ladder games, and EVEN THOUGH that wasn't even affiliated with GOM at all, he received a ban from the GSTL. Are you going to argue there should have been a specific rule saying you can't rock paper scissors on the ladder? I hope this whole thing gives Naniwa a wake up call to fix his attitude.


He "should" give NesTea a good game sure. But by no means does he have to. He is his own player, and his audience can't tell him how to play his games. I hate how everybody here just presumes he should have to do what they want for them. Bullshit. he can do what he wants.

on the other hand, booting him from GSL, without any real rules broken is bullshit and a huge violation of GSL's duty. You can't just kick a player out because they don't like what they did....or evidently you can. Watch out IdrA, GSL might kick you out if you do something they don't like.


So you are saying professional football teams should be allowed to throw games and not have any repercussions? It's the same thing. Do you expect any LEGITIMATE, sport to allow a player to act in that manner? There's no rule in football that says, "you have to play defense" but there's no way they would let that happen in a real game. If esports is to be taken seriously there has to be consequences for this kind of behavior.


Professional football teams DO throw games. Maybe not as openly or blatantly, but in order to get higher draft picks teams lose on purpose all the time. Seen the colts lately?

And even if there does have to be some sort of punishment, getting kicked out the league is too much.


exactly, if naniwa did that, there would be no problem. but nah, it was like they threw their first pass and just walked out of the field.



Did naniwa leave the booth? He choose how he wanted to play the game. Yes it didn't work, nor have any chance of working. But still, it is not GOM's right to tell him he has to play the game like they choose.
