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.

If you don't like the move, don't watch gom. All this fervor is just giving Gom free advertizing for the next season.

In no way can you foresee that doing a probe rush in a 100% worthless game in a completely different tournament would all of a sudden get you banned from Code S which you've already been granted a slot in. You can't have tournament organizers decide on a whim who gets banned and who gets special treatment.


They can start by removing inconsequential matches, which basically insures them from this specific situation ever happening again. Rather than empowering both themselves and the player and having to come down on a player for it, they remove the possibility entirely. If a player blatantly threw a match in a regular season GSL match, I don't see a ban as an unfitting punishment.

Hypocritical to say the least.


The difference is those roach rushes won Leenock the finals where Naniwa's probe rush has 0% chance of winning.

Er actually, there were quite a lotta people calling for Dignitas to answer for what they did. This was true of Millenium too. And people were calling for both teams to not be invited back for future games (IPL invited one of them back anyways I think).

Why wasn't there a bigger outcry? Have you seen those live report threads? There aren't that many people in them anyways.

Korean Racism, was nainwa disrespectful? Yeah i guess he was more disrespectful then every Korean Terran spaming done mules on the people they crush.. What if it was Idra? We all know the answer to that one time for MLG to become the nr1 instead of the nr2.

Yep, they're the ones that lack professionalism for wanting to showcase good games for people that payed to watch while the kid that boxed, a-moved, and took his hands off the keyboard is a professional. Makes total sense.

i said it time and time again and will say it again. there are clear rules in the civil code what happens if you dont take your contractual obligations seriously even if such cases are not written down in the gomtv rule book these rules apply.

He intentionally blatantly threw a game.... that is clearly against the rules in any tournament. If you hide it behind a cheesey all in, most tournaments will let it slide etc. but when you pretty much bitch smack them in the face with it, they can't just ignore it and let it slide.

Also I would ban him for longer then just 1 season. Who really wants a cry baby who doesn't play his games?

First off, there were no contracts, licenses, committee, or rule book stating a "rule" that Naniwa couldn't probe rush or throw games. Unless there is some documentation stating so then I could understand this harsh punishment but since there's not then they shouldn't be able to punish Naniwa. This is retarded, everybody should reconsider buying a ticket for GSL. This is completely unprofessional. From top to bottom the whole GSL format (No contracts, Rule Books and No Licenses) is just plain erroneous. What SC2 needs is Kespa.

That only proves that IGN/IPL guys are mature and more fair, cuz they didn't resort to the "you hurt my feelings; therefore, i will bend the rules to hurt you bs."

Why are ppl so butthurt about it LoL? It's a match that won't make a difference at all. Might as well make a lower bracket for all the losers and make them play for nothing forever, even after they got eliminated. Yes, that makes total sense.

Is there any way I can write some sort of complaint to GOM over this or anything? I'm not even a big Naniwa fan at all, but I'm pretty angered over this, they're acting like complete butthurt man-children.I do feel like there could be a bit of foreigner discrimination going on here. I'm going to request a refund for my ticket too, GOM's not getting my money

All gone so so messy.

At end of day Nani was wrong with what he did, however understanable it is. gomtv are just as much to blame making them play a game where the is nothing on the line and had no impact on anyone qualifying.. Nani still should of done any strategy but what he did(4 gate is apparently acceptable or evena cannon rush). Punishment is harsh in many people eyes.... he still has a chance to qualify and show he should be there anyway(cant see it after going 0-10 vs koreans or is it 1-10)

Good game!!! Lets move on and disccuss somethign else as constant threads however much I back nani are starting to ruin this forum.

why didnt naniwa say "you know what. f it. i am not playing a tournament where i theoretically would have to play even if i already got kicked out of the tournament. im not playing blizzard cup" before blizzard cup started and just forfeited his spot ?

he knew the rules and took the risk when entering the tournament as the format was known beforehand

Don't exaggerate about kespa, most of their rules are necessary to make league a real professional environment.
If Gom has better rules, there won't be any conflict in this case.

They already did this... In a normal GSL there are no inconsequential matches... The pools are double elimination and the rest of knockout, ie you always have something to play for. Only inconsequential matches perhaps can happen in up & down but I believe they don't play matches with no consequence whatsoever in those.

Pool format has one advantage, you get to see more matchups. As such it is not stupid at all for them to choose this format for the end of the year tournament because it allows the viewers to see many different players agianst eachother and with such great players that is attractive for the viewer. I for one was looking forward to seeing some matches I had hardly seen before. The last matches being completely irrelevant was also quite unlikely as that would basically only happen with two players that are 0-3 or 3-0 facing eachother.. With first spot being relevant as well it was simply just very poor luck. The only real flaw in the system imo was using results against eachother as a tiebreaker, which is not a great tiebreaker imo in pool play like this. (it led to the somewhat silly MC having to play for stephano situation).
