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 in the rules, he clearly disregarded at least one rule about disrespecting your opponent and the audience. In addition, if another poster is to be believed it's another rule against throwing your game, which he did. Don't bs and call probe-rushing a strategy.

It's sad that people stick up for him. He's like a child that never learns from his mistakes and continues on the belief that HE is right above all others and deserves to be an exception to the rules. He's been banned from IEM, ESL, and he should be banned from GSL too. Not that it would matter, he's never won any money from it. GG 0-10 GSL fucktard.

A good one, IMO. One along the lines of "break our rules and disrespect fans and the sport and you'll see consequences".


What rule was broken?
Did you bother to read the OP?

Warning or disqualification
- 경기중에 과격한 행동으로 상대 게이머나 관중들에게 위협을 가할 때
- During a match, a player shall not offend the opponent or audience with abusive behaviours


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.

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.


No you don't. It is not your right to tell anybody how to play the game, nor is it GOM's right. 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


sure there could be another one but it'll have to be serious, like what naniwa did. is it really that hard to understand majority of people sees this as a bad thing, while, here you are defending him?

you're basically defending a person who's slept with a best friend's girl friend because he didn't break any contract or any law or rule, therefore he deserves no punishment. do you really not see why people are angry? it has nothing to do with rules or law. its about respect and what he did was disrespect (intentionally or not) everyone with his own selfishness.

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


Right. This had nothing to do with a player playing as unprofessionally as possible after having been abhorrently unprofessional many times before (MLG, TSL3, NASL Season 1). I was a fan of Naniwa too, and because he was pretty manner at HSC3 I started to root for him. But this is just him finally realizing the world does not revolve around him. A tough lesson to learn but it has to be done. You can't just go say fuck it all and play like the bottom of Bronze league, least of all in a country that takes e-sports seriously as I hope the world does eventually.

Naniwa was a dick in this tournament so they choose not to invite him to the next.

The format was bad but that doesn't make Naniwa innocent, nor does his ignorance of the competitive Korean culture.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

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.


he isn't booted from GSL, he is revoked of his invitation in Code S. jesus..........

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.


Who are you (or GOM) to force two DQ players to play at 100%? Losing motivation is human and we should feel sympathy for them. Apparently some people think that being a professional you are just a robot that plays for money.

So glad that Gom did something about Naniwa - the whole time he was in Korea, he was acting like "it's just another tournament," and having a terrible attitude like he always does. Gom is defending the integrity of the game by making their decision. Fairness aside, they can do whatever they want , and no one has done more for the sc2 scene than Gom.

Alright, so this thread has a little more information then the other one.

This is completely ridiculous. I cannot believe GOM are trying to use that rule against Naniwa. Very unprofessional on their part. There is no doubt in my mind that what Naniwa did was the wrong thing to do, but this punishment is too harsh and is going against the league exchange agreement. They agreed to give Naniwa a Code S spot, they cannot simply revoke that using that rule.

That is exactly what I'm doing. If somebody got arrested for sleeping with his best friend's girlfriend it would be bullshit. It would be disrespectful, wrong, and illegal to arrest him for doing so. I understand why people are angry, I'm not happy with what he did myself. But I cannot support taking action against him, just because people are upset with him.

According to this logic, Savior was justified in match-fixing because that's how he chose to play the game. He was actually physically playing the game after all, right?

Wow Naniwa must be so pissed. This Code S spot was the only thing stopping him from going emo mode after losing MLG Providence.

Hope this motivates him more

You are right, GOM can't tell players how to play the game. But they can tell them TO play the games that they are paid to play, and boxing probes, a moving, taking hands off keyboard is not playing the game. I fully support GOMtv in their disicion to punish naniwa, and I mean really with how he's been acting lately someone had to draw the line. Sure it wasn't MLG for having their tournament called a joke and for that whole thing with him watching the replay of the restarted game, but GOMtv decided to step up and draw the line. And if they haven't, somewhere down the road another tournament would have had to, and then they would be the ones blamed by all the fanboys.

As a long term paying GOM subscriber he did me a great service. I was pissed off that they were even going to broadcast this match. I don't want my time wasted by a pointless bo1 exhibition match between these two after they've both just been knocked out. Thankfully Naniwa ended it swiftly and got straight to the MMA polt match.

I agree with what Khaldor said on his stream, had this match meant anything what so ever then what Naniwa did would of been a problem. As it stands though the match should of never even been broadcast and the players allowed to forfeit.

Why did Naniwa fly out to korea to train? To win Code S. I feel this is a bad move for GomTV, yeah he may have thrown that game away but you had to see it coming. Like 0-3 anyone that knew naniwa you would expect him to do sumthing cheesy especially when it was nestea too he didn't really care since he already beat him twice.

I just hope Naniwa will stay in korea now, since his reputation in the korean community is going to be rough now.

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.

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.


No you don't. It is not your right to tell anybody how to play the game, nor is it GOM's right. 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


According to this logic, Savior was justified in match-fixing because that's how he chose to play the game. He was actually physically playing the game after all, right?


This is a different situation and you know it. Throwing the game for monetary reward and being a broker for others to do so, is obviously illegal, and wrong, and disrespectful, the whole 9 yards. Throwing a game because you cannot advance in the tournament no matter what you do, and are feeling down about your previous play in the tournament, is an entirely other thing.

Why did Naniwa fly out to korea to train? To win Code S. I feel this is a bad move for GomTV, yeah he may have thrown that game away but you had to see it coming. Like 0-3 anyone that knew naniwa you would expect him to do sumthing cheesy especially when it was nestea too he didn't really care since he already beat him twice.

I just hope Naniwa will stay in korea now, since his reputation in the korean community is going to be rough now.


Doing a Probe rush isn't cheesy - it's straight up throwing the match. It's comparable to match-fixing because their is literally a zero percent chance for you to win and you know it.
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.
