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.

It is clear that in hindsight, Naniwa would have done a slightly more disguised futile all-in. It is equally clear that in hindsight GOM would not stream a meaningless game. I think that GOM should accept some responsibility and just make sure it doesn't happen again in future. Does anyone else remember the last week of season 1 NASL when players were very clearly not even making an effort to disguise their lack of interest in the outcome of relatively meaningless games? I remember one series in particular, I believe it was Select vs. MC on metal and then crevasse, and Select went 1 or 2 base battlecruiser and MC responded with carriers. The game was so ridiculous it was clear that neither cared too much if they won, and the game even had implications in the $50,000 tournament. Yet nobody cared at all. I think the only difference in the Naniwa situation is that it was on a much more prestigious stage (no disrespect meant to NASL). To me it seems ridiculous to draw a line about throwing games. What if naniwa sent 3 probes out to "harass" and gg'd when they all died to a "terrible micro blunder"? Are you going to ban him? What if he gg's after "carelessly" losing his scouting probe? What if he neglects chronoboost and never builds more than 12 probes? Is that a bannable offense? Seriously, it's ridiculous. If you don't want players to throw games just make sure that every game counts. That's all there is to it. | ||

The difference between football and SC2; You can get hurt and out for the playoffs in Football. Horrible example. And yet the backups are still trying their asses off. They aren't just sitting down and letting the other team score. Their TEAM is not paying them to only play matches when they "matter" to them. | ||

this is only being done because of korean culture. i swear korean culture if it could be explained in one phrase would be "whining troublemaker crybaby" koreans as a culture have no sense of forgiveness and understanding like exists in american culture when coca threw a game cuz he wanted more practice, all the koreans were grabbing their pitchforks demanding swift punishment koreans at any opportunity to take off someones head will take it. any small tiny sense of anything that could be taken as an excuse to punish someone will be seen as justification to punish in american culture we are all thinking about how crazy this overreaction by the koreans are, or most americans/canadians are thinking that. but yeah its all about culture, and sadly the korean culture just loves doing crap like this | ||

I believe the better way for GOM to handle this would have been to fine him a good amount of money. Since some people say that "He doesn't care for it." If he decided not to pay up, ban him. However GOM fining players is probably not feasible. So a ban will do just fine. With all this cultural bullshit being bought into the thread. It really should be closed, I think we all know where this is going to lead to....... | ||

Its a best of one people, as destiny put it on SotG, it might as well be a ladder match. As an example, he even said he beat Leenock on ladder, but does that mean anything? No, because its just ladder. No one is going to get up and cheer proclaiming that Nestea got his revenge and reclaimed his honor after winning ONE GAME vs Naniwa, assuming he won. Like seriously guys.. a televised game is never the same as a ladder game a nestea win wouldn't be full revenge but it would mean he could beat naniwa a naniwa victory might start to really get into nestea's head but no wait just short circuit those storylines, naniwa is sad becuase he lost. | ||

Really? Really? a GSL final is the same thing as an unimportant match, where both the participants are out already? Think before you post please | ||

On December 14 2011 20:47 Deadeight wrote: I disagree. First off, the list at the end of your post. Those things do not mean that people didn't see a good, competitive game. Probe rushing has never been a competitive strategy. If MC does a throat slash after a game, it's just some light-hearted fun, but the Nestea vs Naniwa game basically didn't happen, I'm disappointed in him for not trying to show a good game not because I think he BMd nestea. Whilst I think GOM was in a difficult decision, I personally think that he did need punishing. Maybe losing his code S spot completely is a bit harsh, maybe not paying him at all for Blizzard cup would have been more appropriate. But he agreed beforehand to play all those games, and he didn't really play that last one, HuK never got punished for trying too hard in that all-star game. I completely sympathise with that situation, especially when Jinro vs Fruitdealer opened with a reall game with them both trying hard. But it's not the same situation. The chances that people would have seen a good competitive game in the first place was slim to none. It held zero weight, and who knows if nestea wasn't going to just 1base roach rush or something? I agree that punishment probably would not have been out the realm of possibility, but only if it was made explicitly known to naniwa that his actions were punishable. The rules were so vague that GSL could interpret them in any way that they want. If they were going to do something, a public warning would have probably been the proper decision. And technically, he did play the game; there was a loser, and there was a winner. Huk was never punished, but these things are both comparable examples. Huk did something without knowledge of the consequences, regardless of the consequences not involving a suspension. | ||
