EPTGom fucks up the format and players get punished. Great.

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. | ||

They were laughing about it. Did you actually see it? | ||

If this goes thru I am not purchasing de pass as protest. Way to bash on a tournament organization without justifying your opinion. GSL is doing it right. If the game is to keep growing and GSL is to keep being the most competitive e-Sports competition in the world, the values of respect, commitment and responsibility need be preserved. If a player can't deal with loosing and responds and an unprofessional way, then he's stepping a line. No matter how much of a fanboy you are, you can't cope with the behaviour Naniwa showed. | ||

I'm not a NaNiwa fan, I hardly watch his games. What I'm more concerned with is how the player is being treated, and the precedent this sets for future and other players. You can't just boot a player b/c you don't like how he choose to play the game | ||

But still, it is not GOM's right to tell him he has to play the game like they choose. he tossed the game and made it 100% clear he was tossing the game. thats the problem. on another note. i think he deserves punishment for such carelessness. proxy whatever could have sufficed and it wouldn't have caused all this drama. he brought this upon himself with recklessness. | ||

I as a fan assumed the game was going to be skipped. I did not want to watch a game where NesTea and NaNi BOTH were not going to be trying. NesTea has already stated that he hasn't tried in past games that had no real value. | ||

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.

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. you think a moving your probes and leaning back in your chair isn't abusive and insulting? you're saying he chose to play the game the way he wanted, but he wasn't playing the game. a rank 99 bronze player has more apm than that. a rank 99 bronze player could've held that "strategy". Fact of the matter is, he refused to play the game. It's not splitting hairs between what's a "strategy" and what isn't. He didn't play. You physically have to be touching the computer to actually be playing the game. | ||

But still, it is not GOM's right to tell him he has to play the game like they choose. Of course it is their right though. It's their tournament, which they can hold to whatever standards of professionalism they want. GOM isn't stopping him from playing in other tournaments. It's their right to tell anyone anything they want for their own tournament. | ||

Did his units on screen move? If so, he was playing the game. yes he threw it, yes it was obvious. And did it affect the tournament in any way shape or form? No. While I agree he should've at least played the game, I disagree that GSL should be able to punish him in this way. he earned his spot. Format changes and a false rule breaking call should not be enough to take that away from him. I worry for the next westerner who offends the guys running GSL, who gets booted for another bullshit reason | ||

Dudes...He dissed YOU the most. It's not some "oh it wasn't super significant" issue, it was a huge act of disrespect and he's getting punished for it. GOM is giving seeds to people who actually want to play (Well idra...lol at least he'll try for the first couple minutes ^^ ) now. | ||

GOM is giving seeds to people who actually want to play (Well idra...lol at least he'll try for the first couple minutes ^^ ) now. I'm not defending the disrespect, it clearly was disrespectful on some level. But that isn't a crime, and it shouldn't be enough to get you booted out of the GSL, the premier starcraft tournament of the world. It's almost like they don't "like" Naniwa, and because they don't "like" him they are saying he can't play in their tournament. And as the premier tournament, where a player earned his spot, I cannot say I think this is the right decision. | ||

Just saying. His ceremonies were pretty abusive. lol. | ||

It's an insult to the audience because people pay to subscribe to watch GOMtv. People stay up till 5 am to watch top quality CODE S performance. Naniwas behaviors affects the credibility that GOM tv has in providing entertaining matches. Stop bullshitting and just admit that you wanna marry Naniwa and have his babies. Lets just have a bunch of Naniwa's play in a single tournament where they all are free to act childish and do w/e the hell they want and if they don't get what they want then fuck it all. This tournament seems doomed to fail because no one would want to play each other because everyone in the tournament are just little kids. | ||
