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.

Naniwa maybe fell under pressure from stress he did play 3 very close games that he almost won after all.
Imagine how Naniwa feels after he did nothing wrong getting revoked his Code S Spot after his hard work....

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". when you say you were throwing the game

i'm going to repost my analogy here because i think it's very relevant
how would you feel if someone comes to your poker game, starts throwing hands and revealing hands and just being disrespecful.
even though he didn't break any rules, he did not follow the etiquette of the game, would you want him back? no

This decision has absolutely 0 to do with any one country's culture. You'd get in trouble at any tournament for doing this, especially if it's on a broadcast. And your sponsors won't look lightly on it either.
You guys need to get over the idea that a game being meaningless is an excuse to not give an effort. You get a chance to play a real game against m-fking nestea, a 3 time champion. It matters to anyone who has a modicum of pride.

Yes but MooMoo is saying that worker rush has a zero percent chance of winning a game, which is wrong.

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?
They wouldn't be punishing Jinro, it'd be a punishment inflicted on HuK as a result of Jinro's wrong doing.

GOM is fucking pathetic. Funny that they say Naniwa is only in it for the money (not true at all), and then instantly invite Idra and Sen. Two players who are completely undeserving of Code S. Why? To keep foreigner viewership up. Because they don't care one bit about the competitors struggling in Code A, they care about money. Fucking hypocrites.

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.
I know that...
I'm saying they should have at least mentioned it in their news, but they didn't.

One of the best player in the world Nestea just got decimated, imagine how he feels. Its Naniwa's personal problem and he chose to be unprofessional.

I hope the way he feels in some way guides him to some improvement that will keep him getting kicked off teams and out of tournaments.

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
Most of those games kobe and lamar were on the bench not to return with 5 minutes left which is basically conceding the game. How many times in all sorts of pro sports do star players all of a sudden have mysterious injuries towards the end of blowouts that never cause them to miss practice yet are always fine when they are winning.
Of course he was penalized he threw a barrea on the ground blatantly for no reason when they were getting blown out, kind of funny that you comment like you know basketball yet obviously don't watch it.

I think GOM did the right thing. You guys forget it is the Blizzard Cup aka the cup with only champions in it where: "the king of kings" title is being disputed. As a champion you don't throw games.
Now If you look at esports as a legitimate sport then you have to have the same standards as other profession sports. If you compare with other sports you have to agree that what Naniwa did is punishable. You don't throw games in professional sports.
If you look at esports as nothing but a hobby, nothing professional then you can't blame GOM for anything. GOM can do whatever they want because the decision rests in their hands and they have to keep the korean viewers and global viewers equally entertained and the teams/players as happy as possible. Some people want to have professional esports and have their favorite players get special treatment. It's just not right. Look at coca, it wasent even throwing a game in the GSL and he still got punished more HARSHLY than naniwa.
As for the accusations about the format GOM chose all I can say is that Naniwa was not forced to play in the Blizzard cup. He chose to play in the Blizzard cup, and usually when you agree to do something you have some privilages(oportunity to win money) but also some responsability. Like in any contract you have to provide your side of the deal. He didn't. What if everyone would just throw games like that? Where would it end? What would you allow?
You forget that GOM has a training house for foreigners. They actually try very hard to give foreigners everything they can: translator, a place to stay, PC's, internet. You also forget that they give foreigners CODE A/S spots for GSL in MLG's and other tournaments even thou koreans that might be better get stuck in forever code B. There are players taht are better and never get a chance to play due to just some stupid bad luck. Is it so much to ask for so little? Just play your games and be mannered.

HOPE TO SEE NANIWA IN GSL UP AND DOWNS THAT WOULD BE THE BEST WE CAN HOPE FOR NOW.

IMO Gom should have officially warn and give a blame Naniwa for his behaviour, which is not compatible with their standard, remind their rule about 'abusive behavior', and explain next time someone does the same, it may be a ban. And also explain that they will work on improving their format to increase the audience experience. This would have been a constructive follow-up in a tough situation. But an out-of-the-blue code S revocation is a bit extreme and just add drama over drama.
Naniwa behaviour was bad (but understandable considering the format), but as far as I'm concerned, Gom reaction seems quite epidemic and arbitrary, and somehow childish too. I'm pretty disappointed by all of this...

Yeah, the players are called progamers, but really, are they pros? And should we expect players to behave to the same standards as a footballer or hockeyplayer? Well I don't think so. One and half year ago, pretty much nobody knew of the top players of today, so to expect a player who goes from beeing a good unknown sc2player to standing on the biggest stage of esports that has ever been and act like hes been doing it forever? It's asking to much. If the koreans want players to be like robots I say fuck them.

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 quite a few teams. If you're talking about soccer, well... that is one of the most ridiculously whiny and girly sports in that respect that exists.
In a real sport, IE "American football" they aren't expected to give out bs lip service.
