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.

I feel like the rule naniwa broke against is very vague and so it's up to GSL to determine whether he broke it or not. 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.


people who think a probe rush is realistically anything but a 100% loss are fucking stupid. I'm sorry, I can't phrase it any other way and I'm just so tired of seeing it in this thread.

People who think that there is a difference between probe rushing and 4-gate a-move are "fucking stupid"...

1. They didn't permanently ban him, but revoked his Code S spot and gave it to Sen.

2. They said it was because he offended the audience by throwing away a (meaningless) game against Nestea at the recent Blizzard Cup, and that breaks a rule. With the amount of BM that already exists in the GSL matches inside the game and out (with celebrations), that rule that Naniwa got hit by is bullshit.


Didn't give it to Sen!


Is OP wrong then? Should be updated

So we are going to let koreans rule the rest of the world now?

What about "korean tournament" do you connect to "the world"? Make sense.

Kespa and GSL seems to have their own way of doing things, not even opening up for debates. It's obvious they want to be in control of the game and this just proves it. When one side decides what right and what's wrong and then, without warning, unleashes the banhammer, we're going to have a problem. This time it's global.

Retarded decision. Was thinking about buying a pass but now I will definitely not buy one and just download all the vods.

I do like that. Naniwa isn't one of them.

He is. He got many very solid titles to his name and put up really good games in the Blizzard Cup. I don't even know where to start.


Start out by pointing out a game he has won in GSL.

I honestly think Sen will do much better in GSL then Naniwa

Kids, this is obvious decision, you should understand why...
GSL is tournament for professional players, playing is profession, not some kind of fun.
In GSL they play for audience! Not for themselves. Do you think in normal JOB you can say to your boss that you have bad humor and dont wanna work? NO!

Naniwa, no matter what he think, should just sit in that booth and give fight with all his heart! To respect Korean audience, NesTea, GSL stuff, online audience etc.

This match wasnt meaningless, if not for Naniwa it has meaning for audience, probably for NesTea...
This is not a playground for 3yo kinds, this is professional tournament, for professional players.
His duty as a player was to give his best in that game!


With all his heart!? Do you really think that any progamer can do this after being eliminated in the most frustrating manner in 3 extremely close games?

For Nestea and Naniwa it stopped being a tournament the moment they got 0-3. From them on it became an annoying waste of time.

Also, it's quite disrespectful to start a post with "Kids"...

I disagree that a chance to beat one of the best players in the world, considered by many to be the best zerg, on live tv in his home country is a waste of time...

That's just bullshit to say the least. He had nothing to play for and there was absolutely zero on the line. Doing what he did is cheese so basically anyone who cheeses in GSL either cannon rush, proxy buildings/hidden tech, or bunker rushes will be any sort of seed they have revoked right? Well I hope so cause they just set quite the presidence for it. If they dont then it was nothing more then them flexing muscle for no reason at all.So I do hope they stick by that presidence cause otherwise they make themselves a joke.

I cant believe this... if he made some lame cheese-allin I doubt this would have happend, even the most stupid thing he could've done like a onegate zealot push, as he said himself this is no different from what Stephano did. This is exactly what's wrong with people today. People want to believe in crap, they want to be fooled and showered in "gold" even if the gold is just stones and urine cuz then they can pretend that the world is better than it really is.

Instead just cut the crap and see things for what they actually are.

Then again I can see why Gom and other officials acted the way they did, but explain this to me, how is what naniwa did any different from 6pooling or doing some other blind cheese all in considering this:

So why hasn't other players gotten their Code S revoked before? If you take a look at LR threads people go apeshit as soon as someone does any kind of cheese. Jinro caused a lot of drama and started cursing (I don't give a shit but a lot people do) during the live group selection, no punishment there either. But for some reason when Naniwa is involved it's always okay to punish him? It's ridiculous.


Because there is a difference between just throwing the game and at least trying to win by cheesing. You seriously can't tell the difference?

Its pathetic and i hope more people boycott GSL.


totally forgot about this!!

there are so many other examples of pretty obvious game throwing too

why pick on nani? the only difference is that his match is one of the few that actually MEAN NOTHING

they totally had to do it to prevent it from happening again.

its basically gom saying "inb4 everyone throws their last match if they're 3rd/4th place in their code s group match"

With the group system GOM uses for Code S, there will never be a reason for a player to throw a game, since every set matters.

just by the fact that this is a precedent case makes it a dick-move by gom. i'm sure if naniwa where aware about the consequences he wouldn't have done it. if gom just warned him, everything would have been completely fine. the discussions about such things on TL are the best things that came out of this, so every player now knows how to behave. but banning naniwa is just completely unnessecary

To be considered the best, he'd have needed some code S results. Guess he won't have those any time soon

Full support for GOM with this decision, tournaments must have standards, and ragebaby stuff should not be allowed, no matter what the reason is.

Lost respect for GOMTV, and WILL NOT be buying anything from GOMTV.

why ?

Because GOMTV does not recognize individual player personalities.

Naniwa through his hard work deserved that place, now because of some nubs on the internet saying how Naniwa should run HIS life - this happens.

Pffff I thought GOMTV were better than this.
