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. | ||

What are you on dude? The team that is losing/in a losing situation wont kneel the ball. The 2nd string players that come in for the 1st string players still give it 100%. Teams that are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs still show up and play. | ||

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. But this is exactly how it is in real sport aswell. Take the FA cup or any smaller cup that goes alongside the main leuage in fotball for example. People bet WAY more money on that then esport. And often big teams send out their B squad for those games and lose it. There have even been cases were teams wanted to lose just so they wont get extra games and could focus on the leuage and Champions Leuage. Sure people lose money but you have to take that into consideration when you place your bet. The last game can be important, but it can also be fucking pointless and that will affect the players. you dont have to probe rush to lose a game, you can go nexus first, a half arsed 4 gate etc etc, people will lose money on that to but is that a crime? When you bet you always face the risk that one side will be unmotivated and not perform on par with their skill. | ||

Think of it like this: Have you ever had a job that involved a commission? It's kind of like Nani's job as a gamer playing in GSL. Sometimes there's money with a game (consumer), sometimes there's not and it's a waste of time. But it's never an excuse not to do your job or deal with a consumer because there is no money it it this time, and it's always grounds to get your ass fired. Naniwa sees his job as winning tournaments, not playing games for the sake of playing games. You might agree with that and you might not. | ||

This is just silly and shows that the GOM cooperation are not afraid to bend rules due to populism. When you run such a big tournament you HAVE to be transparent and have DEFINED rules. You can't start kicking people out because of principles if there was no rule that could support this, atleast not if the player obviously didn't know this was against the principle. Yes you can argue that this is Korean culture, but that should accept them treating an foreigner who most likely have no idea how Korean culture works. But the worst part of this is that they choose to replace him with Idra (nothing against him personaly) who have prooven on several occation to actually NOT follow this certain principle! Really... i just shake my head at this sillyness. there is a rule, it's been posted basically unsportsmanlike conduct. these things aren't really easy to spell out but a professional organization (and its fans) can tell when it occurs. like referees on a football field. if you can't handle any subjectivity in your rulings you should probably avoid any competitive environment. | ||

That is all. not using your best starters TRANSLATES into starcraft2 with not using your best strategies. WHAT NANIWA DID was coming out of the locker room, throws the ball into the crowd and then he goes back into the fucking locker. he got rightfully punished. makes me sad that people even try to defend him. | ||

Oh I'm sorry, you want me to be literal? OK, they don't kneel, they have their fourth string running back run it right up the middle every time. Which is comparable to probe-rushing. It has zero chance of success and is literally the quickest way you can end a game while still "playing". So yeah... you're wrong. | ||
