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 GOM is trying to cater to koreans, who are demandiing more of Naniwa (and GOMTV is trying to keep the korean viewerbase) then it's the right course of action. there's no fucking culture clash! either starcraft is a sport, or it isn't what i see, is a bunch of newbie foreigners who don't understand what "e-sport" truly means do they not have league structure sports outside of the US or something? professional atheletes are expected to play games which "don't matter" at the end of the season all the time, and if any of the players were to go into an interview and babble on about how the game didn't matter so they didn't try, they'd get thrown off the team in a minute it said right in the rules of the blizzard cup, that they would be playing a full league format | ||

Did you really think Gom would just sit idly by while someone gets on their stage and disrespects them? How would that make them look? It amazes me that such a large portion of the community supports this (obvious disrespect). Some of you are like the kids that support Kanye. What do you expect, a vast majority of the people that follow "E-SPORTS" are below 20. Most of the posts here are written in an emotional state without any rational thought behind it. No one should really question that Nani should receive a punishment imo, but the severity of it could be. | ||

It's not quite a fake standard, in other sports you often see teams that can't advance anymore not giving their best effort, that's very common. But they would never do ridiculous things like scoring own goals or whatever... so yeah, it makes a difference to play a lackluster game or decide to not try at all. I still think the punishment is too harsh though, a warning would have been enough imho. | ||

This punishment will prevent same thing from happening in the future. Yes he was getting payed to play in the league regardless of what anyone says. Weather the game means nothing or w/e he still had a responsibility to play to the best of his ability. I hate how people keep saying the games didnt matter so why should he play. You realise THATS WHAT PROGAMERS DO ALL DAY EVERYDAY right? They play games that dont matter for the sake of practice to get better. Most other players would have probably looked at that match at the very least to get a lan game against one of the best zergs in the world. So should naniwa probe rush every practice game as well , because they dont matter? by alot of your logics he should.... | ||

Who the hell are you to call Koreans appearance-keeping hypocrites? Have you lived there, are you part of that culture, are you some sort of higher authority on this planet that you can pass judgement on a people? You see, when people do stupid things like this, we practically give them the right to respond in kind. And then tell me, who the hell is right or wrong then? It's certainly not you, and it's certainly not them. | ||

Naniwa has been banned from other tournaments before and is notorious for being so unprofessional he's pretty hated by every tournament and the dozen teams he's formerly played for. The problem is Naniwa's attitude. | ||

ESL, Blizzard, MLG and now GSL. He wanted to become more mature but apparently he still is the flaming kid with no respect at all. You just dont do things like that in that enviorment. Especially not in korea. Its true that the penalty is too harsh but something had to be done. Not the best decision, but I think its a good move to punish Naniwa for his disrespectful behavior he is showing in nearly every tournament he is participating in. After all it cant be undone by both sides and maybe Naniwa will learn (again) from this and start to mature more and gets an inject of professionalism. Bad move but its good to do a move! | ||

Either way some people will be upset, at least GOM is choosing the route of protecting their tournament rather than their audience which I agree with. Then why are they inviting Sen and IdrA for Free Spots into code S.... to protect their tournament? No they're doing it to get more viewers.(Protecting Audience) GOM TV needs to Rescind their decision from removing Naniwa from Code S.... Can you not see the hypocrisy here? | ||
