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. | ||

That is ridiculous. There's an element of cultural difference in this that GOM isn't taking into account. Naniwa will feel really bad now even though he didn't really do much wrong. Still I'm gonna be honest I'm still going to watch GSL. This doesn't make much difference really there's plenty of good players worth watching. | ||

When a country hosts the Olympic, even if it is a global event, the host country expects the tourists and participants from other countries to foremost respect their culture, you don't go to Athens Olympics to piss on the greek statue (extreme example). No one asked Naniwa to honour kill or disrespect women like Islamic fundamentalists, all is asked from Naniwa and all other Esports player is some reverence for the prestige of the game that Korean culture highly values. This is the right punishment, it is a mild punishment for mild offense. Next time Naniwa will smarten up, enough with his introverted rebel " i can do whatever i want" attitude, that's just not how society works. Those are absolutely not comparable. There was no way of knowing that what he did was not acceptable unless he was acutely aware of the intricacies of Korean culture. It was not explicitly stated in the rules, and it would have been fairly unreasonable from his standpoint that acting as he did would result in such serious backlash. He was in no way "pissing on a greek statue"; that's completely ridiculous. | ||

Remember kids, it's all about saving face and keeping up appearances! Honesty is for losers... Yeah, only in Sweden people learn to behave properly. That's what you are saying. This is racist as hell. European should learn a lot of things from other culture, such as the awesome korean culture, and stop thinking that they are the best in the world and who think different is wrong. | ||

The Chicago Cubs at the end of every year don't even play their stars. There's a difference though. You don't actually have those players going out and saying "I gave up my match because of blah blah blah." If Naniwa had decided not to say that, things might have been different. The problem is that he affirmed he threw away the match. And letting that slide insults the players that worked hard to get there, the viewers that wanted to see that match, the tournament that expects you to hold it, etc. etc. etc. | ||

of course not - but GOM is responding to it by going to a level much lower than Naniwas - and that is stupid :< | ||

It was not the only instance of the tournament in which players forfeited the game. So Korean players can just not play matches that matter in foreign tournaments, but if a foreign sticks to the rules, loses the game, ggs after it, but its percieived as a forfeit by everyone he should be punished? You do realize more foreigners didnt play NASL matches right? | ||

It feels like GOMtv/GSL has some kind of grudge against naniwa because you can win a probe rush if you opponent goes for a 6 pool. Naniwa clearly tried to out smart neastea but he stuck with a standard build. rules have to be vague or people will find loopholes to get around it -_- | ||
