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.

Shocking decision by GOM. Really ridiculous. Give him a slap on the fingers, sure. But this?

Very, very arbitrary decision.

Lol at people calling naniwa defender "butt hurt". If anyone is butt hurt it's GOM. Naniwa tells them he wants to forfeit the last game because it has meaning but they force him to play it out and when he does play it out and loses on purpose they get so mad just because he didn't respect their stupid decision. Also later on they revoke his seed and slander him publicly.

Yes the Naniwa defenders are certainly the ones that are butt hurt....

GOM has shown us how immature and childish they are and I for one is gonna vote with my wallets, no more tickets for me


Why is nearly everyone from Sweden defending him? Blind nationalism eh?

Don't use that as an excuse, it's not only Swede's defending him.


uhm...I didn't say swedes were the only ones defending him. You should take some reading comprehension courses.

I do think many people have 'respect' as one of their ideologies. Although it's subjective, I think many people will say Naniwa was disrespectful in one way or the other. The question is, is his punishment fair? Do his actions call for a ban from the first season?

How was this offensive to the audience? (Sure wasn't for NesTea.)
I sure wasn't offended. In fact I've seen alot worse.

I seem to recall NaNi 'gg'd out of the game aswell............. how offensive?
GET REAL GOMTV!!?


Did you not see Nestea's twitter?


no what did it say?

Naniwa has every right to play the game as he sees fit. just because he did a 7 probe rush doesnt mean he deserves to be shit on. I find this very immature of gom tv and wont be paying for that season. He has no obligation to anyone, if anything we have an obligation to him for showing us some amazing matches throughout his career. I'm very disappointed, outrage over nothing, is everyone 12 now?

It's incredibly unprofessional ("abusive" would be the word GOM would use apparently) to make use of a vague rule not even designed to deal with situations like this in circumstances where they were simply unprepared for the possibilty of Naniwa's actions. It's unprofessional to retrospectively declare his actions to be outside the scope of your vision. It's UNBELIEVABLY STUPID to then go on and make a personal jab to the person you are punishing (assuming this "amateur prize money hunter" comment is correct)...

Way to scramble and cover your own ineptitutde GOM!!!!

This is so disappointing...

What naniwa did was childish and stupid and I don't support that. However, GOM made the bigger mistake here.
Arguing with a fool proves there are two.

Wrong rule. There is a rule where if a player is determined to be unfit of being a progamer they can deny them participation.

Being in Code S is a privelage, not a right. It can be taken away if you do something stupid like that to GOM.

Pro gamers aren't 100% always right. Also, don't you think HuK is being a little biased since Naniwa is part of his Protoss brethren?

If GOM is going to host the Global Starcraft League and actually work at inviting foreign players to travel to their country to participate it is abhorrent for GOM to completely ignore the fact that these players will come from different cultures.

Any reasonable organisation that plans to host a Global event has to accept that people from countries outside their own will have different ideals and will not act in a manner that will conform to you strict cultural sensibilities.

Complexity and Quantic have now suffered significant financial damages because of this decision. Furthermore, Naniwa has invested significant time and effort into participating in this league and is now suspended.


GOM has even stated that Naniwa is a money-hungry player. This suggests that GOM probably did not consult Naniwa before they made their decision. Why? Because Naniwa has maintained and shown that, whilst he is introverted and has trouble keeping his emotions in check, his aspirations lie with being the best.


I stopped reading your post after the first line. A Global Starcraft League does not have to cater to every culture. To do so would be absolutely retarded. Should theocratic-based cultures determine whether or not females involved with GSL casts have to act differently or wear different clothing if one individual from such a culture gets invited? Fuck no, and if it happened it'd be absurd. All a league that intends to be global needs to do is offer the opportunity for people from the global community to compete within it.

It establishes the rules, it sets the guidelines and it can operate however it wants. If some dumbfuck, backwards individual from a fringe yokel religion showed up to my Global Starcraft League and started shitting on how I permitted females to hold a job, I'd kick their ass to the curb. That's just how cultures work. Sometimes they don't intersect; sometimes there is no middle ground and sometimes one does not have to cater for the other.

This is one of those times. The GSL has a set standard, they have punished people before for this type of inappropriate behavior and they sure as fuck weren't foreigners when it was done.

Stop grasping for straws and stop fucking whining.
And on the pedestal these words appear -- "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Hilarious how people bring up Swedish vs Korean culture, which is irrelevant, it's not like there's any seriously huge difference between Swedish and American culture, or any other western culture, in this situation.

I personally think Naniwa did a shitty thing and should be punished. I'm Swedish. A lot of Swedes defend him because he has a lot of Swedish fans, it has nothing to do with Swedish culture.
