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.

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.

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.
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.

Totally ok with the gom decision since it's in their list of rules. Anyway, Naniwa's behavior is wrong as he is not showing fair play on his opponent, even if the match didn't mean anything at all. People pay for watching games, they deserve to see real games!

Remebering TSLRain / FnaticRain ? He was disqualified from code S (or whole GSL) for 2 seasons just because of not showing up in the group drawings
Choya was disqualified for doing "Scissor-Paper-Rock" in the LADDER.

According to the rules, yes he did. What rule did he break? GOM has a rule in which you are deemed to be unfit of the title of progamer they can ban you. I translate it: "If we don't like you we can kick you!" More like "If you don't have integrity then gtfo."
Who is fit to judge the integrity of a person, especially one you know so little about? Are you? Is Mr. Chae? Is anyone?

Haha why are people saying they want to refund their ticket etc? Naniwa wasn't going to go anywhere in Code S anyways so what is the big deal?
Don't disrespect Nestea and maybe this won't happen...

MLG paid for GSL players to come play in MLG. Now GSL doesnt live up to their end of the deal?
this is bullcrap. players should be free to do whatever strategy they see fit
if those strategies lose for them, they will be out of future tournaments. noone hands seeds to losers. naniwa earned the seed. everyone knows he threw the game. he said he threw the game... i never said he didnt it was pretty obvious im just saying, he didnt violate any rules how about they ban people for sending 4 marines with 12 scvs? where do you draw the line? should we just ban everyone who loses a game because htey probably werent trying?
what? 5 probes will beat 9 drones? what?

Naniwa cares about getting 1st, there's a huge difference between that and caring only about prize money. I've heard so many say this about Naniwa, but never once from him. Honestly this feels like some self-justification for being unprofessional he tells his friends and I don't really see anything that makes this theory more legitimate then him simply being oblivious and selfish. You didn't answer. If Naniwa only cares about getting prize money (Chae called him an "amateur prize-money hunter") then why does he forfeit consolation matches for prize money? Whether it's prize money or not, Naniwa is being selfish. He's there to preform and play games. 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.

the match is not handed to the opposing team. sitting starters is similar to using a build order that is untested. he keeps his solid builds for later stages of tournaments/future. managers keep solid players for later stages of tournament/future.

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? any team caught throwing a game would lose their draft pick.
Happens every year and never a team punished. They just put another name on it like "developing talent" when they know for a fact they are cutting all those players in the offseason.

If you wanna be the best SC2 player, you have to lie to your fans and audience and pretend you care about games, that don't mean anything? During his first week in korea, he got paired up against, who was it? One of the best zergs in the world, and performed (arguably) 2 actions and took his hands off the keyboard because he was too tired to play out a 4 minute proxy 2 gate and get it over with. It's not a matter of lying to fans. Complexity sent him to korea to play the game seriously (and complexity is VERY big on image). Gom gave him the GSL seed for the purpose of generating content, not because it's some supreme honor to invite a foreigner who throws temper tantrums because he's tired. Not to mention huk and idra have reputations for being extremely bad mannered and temperamental, yet they don't do things like this, which are clearly ignorant and selfish, because they know they have teams to represent, people that pay their checks for not only playing the game in a serious manner, but probably with more success than naniwa will ever be able to.
I'm glad idrA got his spot. He deserves it more, and he'll go farther with it Idra did almost the exact same thing against Jinro ages ago in the GSL.
And Idra almost won. It was a legitimate strategy on a bad map for zerg.

the title is exactly what happened, his seed for the season was revoked, he is no longer able to play in season 1 because he isnt qualified

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.

You are all uninformed and spiteful. That is all. when they are behind? When was the last football game when this happened... When they are behind like thirty points? Oh hell yes they do.
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.
