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. | ||

Do those standards include fathering in two players who didn't properly qualify? | ||

And for that last half, they just screwed around and didn't play properly. How would you all like that? What do you think would happen to that team? That happens all the time ... | ||

Beating Nestea would be a great medal, a much better accomplishment then winning a random online tournament for example. Even if it's not tournament results, it is A RESULT to be proud of. He clearly doesn't have a lot of pride or dignity in his play, at least judging from that match, this was actually noted by Quantic Twitter. They said the match was for Pride just before it started and they clearly did not consult Naniwa before that post. Then again, he might just be completely oblivious to what people consider professionalism standards in the industry and believed Nestea wouldn't care about the game as well. He would be wrong. Maybe its not a real match for him when nothing is on the line? He knows that they both wont play serious, he knows that theyre both not focused, if I would want to show every1 how good I am I wouldnt want to play under less then optimal conditions either. He knews the game wouldnt have lived up to the hype anyways.. | ||

There might be honest ppl BETTING on Naniwa's game against Nestea with their hard earned money. How can esports be mainstream and who would support Esports betting(Which sponsors alot of KR teams btw) if ppl kept throwing games for nothing? You`d be pretty pissed too if u bet on Naniwa and he threw the game just because he didnt wanna play it yeah? It was a stupid move by Naniwa, completely retarded especially with the Savi0r incident fresh in ppl's mind. Also, to all the Swedes complaining and asking for a boycott. Lets face it, ur always gonna continue supporting the KR players/Scene because they are the BEST. I wouldnt be surprised if half of you are watching the streama t this momeny anyways. In any case, you need to realise that most of the community does NOT agree with you. | ||

Well if he was Korean I doubt there would be this much of an uproar on TL. | ||

Do you have a bad taste in your mouth after Idra did all those things? | ||

But GOMTV have alot of respect and integrity when they call him a prize hunter and other disrespectful stuff. If they would have gone out and just said that naniwa did this wrong so according to this rule we punish him with this, but they do it like a child and call him stuff and just show how bad they are. This exactly, it's so laughable. I would say what they're actually doing is even worse then combined with the ban too. (The ban would still have been wrong though if they only did that) | ||

Best example would be MC's really harsh and serious statement who is a relaxed, laid back guy. While I sympathize with Naniwa and see the reasoning behind what he did, he needs more foresight. Imagine what would happen if teams who couldnt qualify for playoff stopped doing stupid shit on national television during games in NBA? Are you serious teams every year throw games for better chances at the top draft pick? | ||

Firstly, that's so incredibly vague that it basically means they can kick you out whenever they want without any sort of explicit reason, which goes against the philosophy of rule/law in society since the beginning of time. Secondly, GOM does not have the right to decide who is a progamer and who is not. They can decide who participates in their tournament, but to presume that it is the sole province of GOM to decide who is a progamer and who is not is a ridiculous proposition. | ||

Throwing a game, and manner mule/nexus/hatch are completely different. things. Manner muling is saying "hey you should leave the game" without saying anything. That goes for nexus'/hatch anything else. Throwing the game is totally and 100% different from manner mules etc. | ||

A player did not break any official rule and if a behaviour affected the decision, taking into account that the player is from a different culture, should lead to a warning, nothing more. The suspension is definitly an overreaction and unprofessional. | ||

I guess Korean culture also entails being absurdly disrespectful to foreign players in public as well. "Prize hunter", etc??? That is just juvenile. | ||
