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. | ||

Not to mention 6-pool is actually a good strategy on Tal'Darim Alter lol.. 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. | ||

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.

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". | ||

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. just like how the MLB world series is really a "World" Series.... | ||

No strat there, he just through the game. | ||

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? | ||

Because GomTV was in charge of WCG right? Different tournament holders reserve the right to punish players the way they see fit. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

I didn't see the actual game, so I don't know if Naniwa tried to micro his probes or not. 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. Casters said he took his hands of the keyboard.. | ||

Or maybe he learned his lesson after being punished. Hopefully Naniwa learns to stop being so unprofessional. | ||
