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.

The whole "Global" Starcraft League argument is BS. If that were the case, it'd be like forcing JongMi to wear a burqa because it's a "global" league and without it you'd be insulting whichever Middle Eastern culture there is. It's a tournament run by a Korean company that happens to share that country's ideals. If the players don't adhere to the organizer's rules and standards, then the organizer has the right to expel said players.

The game was not meaningless. Tons of people wanted to see him beat Nestea again, and Nestea wanted a chance at revenge.

a probe rush actually has a chance of winning too, it's much much smaller but it IS a strategy, the problem people are having is that he did it under the circumstances of the competition (down 0-3 playing to stay out of last place in the group), that and he decided not to give viewers what they actually wanted, which was a rematch to settle the heat.

Just a question for all the guys agreeing with GOM's decision.
Think about it for a second and answer it honestly:

You are playing with 200% focus but still went 0-3, you are incredibly frustrated by it and really just want to go home and lay in bed or something.
Then sum1 comes up to you and tells you have to play your 4th game vs another guy that's also 0-3 because it was scheduled.
Would you be able to play it serious and not just do something retarded and get it over with?


In any sport, do you see players stop giving a shit and sits down on the bench because they are losing, not able to come back and only 5 minutes left on the clock? No, you dont see that. If everyone here that wants e-sports to grow then everyone needs to act more professional and not act like however your mood is at the moment.

Yes you do see that ALL THE FUCKING TIME.

Stop making shit up.

they literally always finish the game


Good players do it all the time leaving the bench players to go sit through the end of the game. Literally ever lakers starter did it multiple times in the dallas series last year.


I have yet to see one laker starter just lay down on the court and say score on us and win the game....


How about bynum getting purposefully ejected so he could leave? OOOHHHHSNAPP!!!!!


he probably got fined money

but finding one example doesn't prove anything. bynum acted wrongly in that example and I guarantee he got shit for it. I hope he was penalized, it's the right thing to do

It was a meaningless game; if you've ever even slightly payed attention to sport before, you'll know that there are indeed such things as meaningless games.

If you support GSL's decision, then you also probably support the removal of manner mules, people pulling scv's, and MC's throat slash. You cannot say that he threw the game; he obviously could have just 4gated and nobody would have cried. What if nestea was 6pooling?

What about the fact that idra has previously outright refused to play matches? Holy shit, everyone grab your pitchfork.

This is an embarrassment.

I think you are confusing a probe rush with a 6 pool. A 6 pool is a strategy that actually has a chance of winning no matter how small it is. Not to mention 6-pool is actually a good strategy on Tal'Darim Alter lol..

Worker rush works against a 6 pool, it has a win rate. Therefore it is also legit.
This argument has been crushed so many times in this thread.

Sorry I forgot that 7 probes beats 6 zerglings+5 drones I'm sorry

You get there before the lings pop out.. rofl.

I also missed the fact that 7 probes arrive to a Zerg base in under 1 minute on a 4 PLAYER map and the Zerg player(NesTea) would be incompetent enough to let his drones freely die to probes before zerglings die

umm it was forced cross pos iirc

Forced cross position doesnt matter. 7 probes cannot kill 5 drones or a hatchery fast enough before the zerg has more units and beats you.

Fact is that the worker rush doesn't have a ZERO percent chance of winning. If NesTea botched his micro somehow he could lose.
So that bares the question, how low or high of a win chance does a strategy have to have before it's deemed "OFFENSIVE".

What a joke.

This is a bad decision, Naniwa may have been a tool, but still,

you shouldnt ban someone just for using that strategy, there is a time and place that a probe rush will work, and removing it from the game entirely, which is what they are doing, is just stupid. banning him just because he didnt play the game to whatever arbitrary criteria they deem is proper is just insane and a little megolomanic.


you must have not watched the game....He literally took his hand off the keyboard and moved his probes to get surrounded by the drones. No strat there, he just through the game.

What about GOM's decision on Jinro "incident" during the Code S selections?

He broke a rule, an actual rule, but wasn't punished and he could reverse his decision.

I know it was a joke and I'm actually behind Jinro on this, it was just a joke and he didn't know, but that wouldn't normally matter.

If you agree, that Naniwa should be banned, then where were you during this? Shouldn't you have asked GOM to punish him?

Oh they would totally punish nestea for the same thing, if anything it would be an even worse penalty I imagine


Kind of like how the Koreans got punished for throwing games at WCG, oh wait..

The koreans didn't even mention the damn thing.


100% pure bias.


Because GomTV was in charge of WCG right?

Different tournament holders reserve the right to punish players the way they see fit.

Double standards everywhere...


Holy crap didn't even think about this...wow does this makes GOM look like hypocrites. I'm officially done with GSL...still.


But were those games actually played out?

This is the main thing, this wasn't a form of BM that was meant to insult the opponent in the way dropping mules is. This is BM in the way that insults the tournament and insults the viewers.

If you play for any team or any sport, you are expected to give your all no matter what your standing is, no matter how far down or far up you are. When it becomes blatantly obvious that you're not playing to win (and reaffirm that post-match), then you are not living to the professionalism that is supposed to be integral in any competition.


You must not really watch sports then...the Indianapolis Colts certainly aren't giving their all. The Chicago Cubs at the end of every year don't even play their stars.

Not sending your best players in a team sport is the equivalent in SC2 of trying out a new build that isn't as refined as your old one.

No it isn't.


That analogy is quite good actually.

No it isn't.

If you are not playing your best players, you are admitting defeat
. You want it to be different because you want to hate on Nani for offending you bullshit sensibilities.

get over yourself.


Except that is where you are wrong. Not playing your best players puts you at a disadvantage similar to a unrefined strategy, but your players on the field are still playing for the win. If players actually roll over and let the opponent just kick their ass the immediate reaction would be that the match was fixed. Look up Dinamo Zagreb for such an example.

and let it be known that Naniwa did NOT micro his probes.

Nope. Most of the time those players run plays that are designed to end the game as quickly as possible so as to avoid injury so you are dead fucking wrong and stop making shit up for like the seventh time.


Dude I'm not making shit up I was always under the impression that teams have to play to win or else they get punished for it. Which in Association Football has actually resulted in the punishment of a few teams.

this is pathetic

you pretend naniwa didn't do something that bothered people so you can cling to some idea of racism

...when they replaced him with non korean


How was he supposed to know that what he did was wrong? I'd love it if you pointed me to the rule that explicitly says "Working rushing is a suspendable offense." Because he wasn't aware of that particular cultural difference does not make this decision acceptable.

Anyway, this won't change a lot. Naniwa and anyone else in a situation like he was will simply go for some rush that at least has some semblance of strategy. Well you never know with Naniwa I guess, but I hope he changes, even if it's only enough for stuff like this not to happen again.
