if you act like a dick karmas going to come back at you Lets look at it this way. currently GSL is the SC2 channel in Korea. All the koreans watch this so they can get their fill for SC2 GSL/GOMtv is a Business Naniwa is a pawn in the business. Naniwas job is to give SC2 games because he is a PRO, that is why he is THERE Naniwa DID NOT fulfill his job. You cannot call that a game of sending probes. Please dont say this is even a legitimate strategy, thats just some technical bullcrock. Would you even do it on ladder? GSL was like well **** you, you dont make our business look good peace /Endofthisnaniwa | ||

The first quote doesnt even state the reasons for why it was given. I would tend to assume Slasher is right in this case since he isn't stating an opinion(which I tend to disagree with from him  ) and he would be someone who would know whether it is given or earned. | ||

"After starting the weekend with wins over the two best players in the world, MVP and Nestea, to win the MLG Global Over the last few months, Naniwa has been training hard over in Korea to take his game to the next level, and his hard work appeared to pay off in Providence. The 2nd Place finish was good enough to earn him a Code S spot, so keep an eye on this MLG Champion as he goes toe-to-toe with the world's best during the offseason." | ||

I undertstand that there are questions to clear up, and not everything is cut and dry, but to say you know more about it than the guy that works with MLG, and that he is lying, is a bit ridiculous of a response. | ||

Does Stephano even want a code S spot? I agree, Stephano should have the code S spot since IdrA would have been in the up/downs anyway. I guess they think that since he's living in the SlayerS house now and will be staying here for quite a while that they might just give it to him and not to some foreigner who is just going to leave next season. Still bullshit, but it's the only answer I can come up with... | ||

I think it's good starting this thread, to talk about the particular rule, regardless of our opinion about what naniwa did. So, if someone has good knowledge of the rules and where to find them, I am sure he will be able to provide what I am asking. Thanks in advance. | ||

If being a pro meant show good games before everything, heall, you could bann half of the proscene. | ||
