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. | ||

Oh, so when it's a typical korean BM, it's fine...someone should have told Naniwa. Looks like the unwritten rules are piling up. | ||

In the end, it gives GOM the option to ban a player according to this rule without explaining why the person was banned. In this case it is obvious (although I don't agree) but such rules are not good for a proffessional organisation. The rule should be explained in much more detail. At this moment, it just says 'if we don't like you, you can get banned'. Brilliant. ever hear of Unsportsmanlike Conduct in football? not all rules can be cut and dry. They don't have to be if people behave like professionals because it's clear when someone else breaks them. | ||

On December 14 2011 19:21 PandaTank wrote: This is bullshit. So basically, cheese is a bannable offence then? Manner nexux? Manner mule? Because Nestea, or any other player could view it as disrespectful if someone decides to cheese or manner mule them in a tournament. And besides, naniwa he did play out the game. Obviously not to the best of his ability. But once again, that is completely subjective. Had he simply left the game or refused to play, that is a more clear cut situation. it's not cheese. it's throwing the game. there's a difference. | ||

Had he just 4 gate it would have saved so much of Naniwa's reputation even if the strategy had a low chance of success While it rocks that you agreed with me, I HAVE TO TAKE THIS EVEN FURTHER: I don't think simply TRYING is enough. NO. When I see someone of naniwa's talent, I PRAY he will have the mentality of a champion. I don't just expect that he feigns effort; I expect that he exerts it AT EVERY CORNER POSSILBE. YES, this is a lofty expectation of a player. BUT, I DESPERATE the coming of a new player like Boxer was to BW. I ASSUME, many pro-players dream of becoming as iconic as the aforementioned boss of esports. Boxer doesn't post anywhere near the results naniwa does in SC2; you know what is ballin as hell though???? Boxer walks into his opponents booth and shakes his hand regardless of the outcome. THAT IS SO GODDAMN FOLLOWABLE I CAN BARELY DESCRIBE IT Naniwa has talent that is BEGGING for viewership. If he applied himself and put EVERYTHING HES GOT into EVERY game he plays on a stage people would simply follow him. You would have no choice. Because it would show both talent, and the mentality of a FUCKING CHAMPION This is why I am disappoint; not because what he did is unprecedented or TOTALLY OUT OF THIS REALM, but because I expect more from the players I idolize. | ||

I guess you guys aren't capable of respecting other peoples' opinions. Especially the ones that matter (that is, GOM staff as a whole). Seriously? Let it go on without us then, if enough people boycott it because of this stupid ruling, we'll make an impact. I'm not doing it to "teach GSL a lesson", I'm doing it because it's not right and it goes against everything I believe in. | ||

Korean progamers themselves have done retarded strategies and builds that show no sign of metagaming and thought put into it with no regard to the viewing experience whatsoever, and Gom hasn't given a crap about that. I think it's more of the fact that he A-moved his probes to NesTea's base and then took his hands off the keyboard. Literally not playing the game at all. | ||

You can't have your cake and eat it too. You can't complain about the lack of professionalism and then turn around and allow it because you feel like it. Either punish everyone for it, or don't punish anyone about it. | ||

On December 14 2011 19:22 MrCash wrote: HERE IS A BIG ISSUE: Naniwa PUBLICLY stated he threw the match. GomTV couldn't ignore the situation after that fact. Naniwa's first mistake was throwing the match. His second mistake was publicly admitting to it. He could have played the game (poorly if necessary) or said nothing afterwards. It would be a LITTLE bit harder to enforce this ban if there was so confession. Good point. If Naniwa had said "Worker Rush can sometimes beat 6 pool, so I took a chance and prayed, only to give up when I saw it wasn't a 6 pool" then he may not have received a ban. You need to be careful about what you say after you do something so drastic. | ||
