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.

OMG, is GSL turning into KeSpa? If more ridiculous rulings like that happen, I'll definitely stop watching GSL. It's already boring with so few foreigners, now they ban Nani for reacting like a normal Person to their stupid Format?....

NaNi played MLGs ALL FUCKING YEAR LONG for this Code S seed, and they take it away for something like this.
Fucking retarded shit, obviously not thought through, just a snap-judgement-decision.

Joke joke joke joke fucking terrible joke


And everyone saying he deserved it and swedish ppl are definding him because he's swedish - That's fucking retarded, people defending him are the only ones thinking with a clear fucking mind.
I'm not saying what he did was good, and he deserves to be notified. Maybe a warning, to let him know that hey, that's not something we support for our invites, if you do something like that again you're out.

But not taking away something he worked hard for an entire year, now that's fucking retarded.

You clearly are thinking with a clear mind. Thats why you repeat words over and over and rage swear multiple times. THIS IS THE WARNING. It could have been much worse. And if you don't think they thought it through you are just so so naive.


Much worse? I'm surprised people are defending this, I'd love to hear the arguments of people who would defend a lifetime ban.

You obviously have no insite into the Asian culture or into professionalism in general so no point explaining anything. I never said a lifetime ban anyways.


Yeah asian culture in esports shows us inscruatable morals(savior scandle, xb, fruitdealer, coca, choya etc etc etc.)


They pretty much all got punished though


One by his own team because gom wouldn't and one by the government because he broke the law.

If probe rushing is BM to the opponent what the crap are manner mules and dancing your units in their base?

Double standards.


False there is BM and then straight up disrespect and then actions that are deemed trash talk for example if you drop a mule that is something that could help you out but your saying you don't need it have it . if you /dance your units usually your winning and just saying with the game im so far ahead i can afford to do this

but

PULLING your probes to attack into a opponent is a strategy your doing with no chance to win and you know it your being a baby and just giving up your not allowing your opponent to showcase himself and show his mettle your down grading yourself infront of everyone and infront of a professional environment

Half joking, half serious.


I don't see why Naniwa got revoked. According to TL that was the best match of the night. Why ban the guy that gave you the best match of the night?

certain strats? a worker all in at the start? when the player says:
"@QuanticNaNi johan lucchesi
apparently people got upset when i probe rushed nestea, the game was pointless and it couldnt change anything in the tournament."
Its fucking pathetic, and honestly, anyone that defends him are sad, too, because esports should be professional. Not just "didnt feel like playing"
Look at albert haynesworth since he decided he didnt want to play for the redskins.
Ive lost all respect i had for nani, and im glad he got punished

I can't believe how many people in this thread have argued that 6 probe worker rushing without even putting his hands on the mouse is somehow a viable strategy. It is not. It's about it's 3 button presses away from not actually pressing any buttons at all.

Way to insult both Korean and Swedish culture in the same post, even if you only meant to insult Korean culture.

So to sum things up:

Naniwa got kicked out of german EPS.
Naniwa got kicked out of IEM.
Naniwa got kicked out of Code S.

Seriously, can you still say that he is "misunderstood"?


He was pretty close to getting some kind of punishment from MLG too, when he called them on stream amateur tournament or something pretty offensive like that, when he picked the wrong map LOL

there was also an issue where he said nasl is an amatour league. (but as i recall nasl decided to not ban him)

if mlg has the same rules als gsl does he could also be banned from mlg too since it would be basically the same thing with coca und byun (esv -> gsl ban)

This is low. Really low...it's not surprising considering the "honor code" that Koreans operate on but still.

well, when the next gsl is on air i will not tune in... simple as that

GOM now looks a little bit more kespa...


What double standard? Care to explain?

people don't know what the word hypocrite or the phrase double standard actually mean

evidenced by plenty of posts in this thread.

Remove player for damaging the integrity of competition, randomly add two players to code S without qualifying. I see no hypocrisy here.

there are spots that need to be filled and how they fill them is up to them. and they weren't random choices... idra is never a random choice. he brings lots of viewers with him, for example.

no integrity has been damaged by them seeding foreigners.

I'm incredibly disappointed, I understand professional conduct is important, but are people SERIOUSLY offended by Naniwa's little probe rush?

Maybe if he did a repeat of his little thumbs down like he did at MLG, but for this?

I don't think its justified. At all.

Next thing you know not 'gg'ing will be considered offensive...

I just e-mailed gom saying how i feel. i would urge everyone that cares about fairness and predictability and professionalism in e-sports to do the same.

YES, you heard me right, professionalism! Professionalism is not coming up with stupid rules when things have already happened, to try to justify punishing people you dont like



I just emailed GOM to praise them. No professional league in any sport would ever tolerate players throwing games. This punishment will prevent same thing from happening in the future.

Hey if you get kicked out of other tournaments for BM then why would they imagine that he would stay in a tournament in Korea, where BM is probably the most looked down upon.

I'm indifferent to it. I think GOM acted right for the Korean audience, which is their main target audience anyway. Although yeah, Mr. Chae could have worded it differently. Then again, Naniwa could have done a different strat also so.

Good call by GOM - unprofessional behaviour should have consequences
it does not matter if the match had no influence on the outcome of the group, a pro should play for the audience aswell as for himself - if Naniwa can't understand it - hope he goes away

I'm so happy that this happened. Anyone remember incident like this in BW? I think that Naniwa is trying to make some kind of bad boy image too hard now. Also meaningless game? It was game that decide 4th and 5th place in group. Also its game that decide who will be better placed Nani vs Nestea (biggest rivals?), but since no money was involved its ok to skip it? That's very rude and he deserved this punishment.
