i think he means they invited a pro gamer, but what they got was a (cranky) kid who's good at the game

This seems much better and more likely than what was reported in the first thread; it also shows a certain degree of mercy.
Edit: why are so many people having a hard time figuring out what he meant? English 101, anyone? ._.

Waiiittt....so all that we've been discussing so far about Mr. Chae hasn't been based on a proper cited source until now? :/
I really want to know what's actually going on D:

So... THEY GAVE THE SEED, therefore they are taking it back, therefore Naniwa is indeed losing it because of what he did.

So, it's not about "not getting invited anymore"... they taked back the seed. There was indeed a "contract".

how can we trust any of those source, anyway, since it does seem like translations are changing every hour?


1) Stay on topic please
2) I don't know how you can read what I wrote like that.


That was ironic. An example of what everyone is doing with every quote, twisting fact to fit their opinion, again and again until everyone is confused.

If that is what Mr. Chae actually said, then he did it with the highest level of professionalism. I support GOM's decision and I suport Naniwa. I believe he will come back as a much better player and much better person. NaNi fighting!

I think the point of the "we gave the seed" business was them saying that they had intended the seed for someone who's playing for their team and sponsors; the inclusion of Quantic Gaming's name in the original quote isn't something to gloss over. He's making a distinction between QxGNaNiwa, who has a professional obligation to Quantic (it's right there in the name!), and Johan Lucchesi the person, because they are somewhat separate entities. What NaNiwa did was understandable and human when you consider him as an island unto himself, but what he did was inappropriate for QxGNaNiwa to do as a representative of other people.

Because it appears that he is treating naniwa and Johan as two entities,

What he's saying is they Invited a professional, and were given an amateur so they are pulling the seed? That's the correct interpretation?

In this case you have to face the results.

Also, this 99% thing is BS. If I´d believe 99% of the worlds population are arrogant, immature, disrespectful kids I would go kill myself.

No. He had it, but lost it and it was given to Sen.


If anything it was given to idra and sen was going to get the other invite. Idra had already been invited to up and down matches with demuslim but now he got a bump up to code S

Not to mention as a representative of the GSL as a whole. If I recall right they've taken action on behaviour by individual players on the ladder (choya?), completely unrelated to the GSL itself. This is mr. Chae saying that there is such a thing as a higher standard for pro-gamers when it comes to the GSL.

"We gave the seed to Quantic Gaming's protoss pro-gamer NaNiwa, not to Johan Lucchesi from Sweden, who plays the game well."

Newsflash Mr. Chae: That's the same person.

EDIT: I forgot the no joke policy, sorry

Guys the Op explicitly said not to discuss the seed Issue in his thread. Go do it in the other ones.

Information is flying around at the speed of light!

But I think in the end of the day, the facts are pretty clear, no matter the wording of what was said:
- Naniwa was originally going to be one of the Code S seeds, but this privilege has now been taken back. If he was not going to be a seed, GOM would've quickly jumped in to clarify things when it was announced that Naniwa was playing in Code S.

- I think that GOM has a reasonable justification of revoking the Code S privilege, based on what happened (Naniwa probe rushing). I think it's less harsh in banning him for one season.

- The choice of language by GOM was due to mis-translations.

- And I'm pretty sure this revised translation by the OP means that Mr Chae is saying that the professional gamer Naniwa was invited to Code S, not some guy "Johan Lucchesi who plays SC2", implying that as a professional, you need to adhere to certain standards and not do what you like, as Johan Lucchesi would do.

You're taking it too literally. That's not what he meant. Read nazgul's post.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

please merge all the info into one thread and make it official. this has become one of the messiest, most convoluted sagas in the history of starcraft.
There is no such thing is "e-sports". There is Brood War, and then there is crap for nerds.

The "amateur prize money hunter" seems like something that may have come from DCInside which is where people are likely to reduce this statement from Mr Chae to that simple phrase (아마추어 상금헌터) which is sort of an internet phrase that people on a broadcast are unlikely to say.

There is a thread with similar name with incorrect information and it is causing people to believe in false information. But I was told to piss off by OP of that thread so there is no chance he'll change what he wrote now. So, here it goes.

First of all, what Mr. Chae actually said:
Show nested quote +
프로게이머라는 직업이 사실은 이겨서 상금을 타가서 그걸로 업을 삼는다고 프로게이머라고 생각하지 않아요 프로게이머라는 직업은 승부를 가리는 것들을 시청자분들에게 보여주고 그것들을 시청자 분들이 열광하고 그것을 통해서 승부를 가리는 것을 직업으로 삼는 선수들을 프로게이머라고 저희가 생각을하고 있기 때문에 저희가 시드를 줬던것은 퀀틱 게이밍의 프로토스 프로게이머 나니와 선수였지 스웨덴에서 게임을 잘하는 청년 요한 루세시는 아니였습니다.

"We don't believe that winning games and getting prizes make you a pro-gamer. We think that pro-gaming as a vocation should be about gamers competing for the victory, for the audience so they would get excited, and in all that, players job is to compete for the victory through that. We gave the seed to Quantic Gaming's protoss pro-gamer NaNiwa, not to Johan Lucchesi from Sweden, who plays the game well."

There was NO mention of the conduct rule, it being a "punishment", or that he is "an amateur prize money hunter."

Please limit the discussion in this thread to what was said during today's Blizzard cup Korean stream and discuss the issue of NaNiwa & Code S seed in 100 other threads.


Ok, that's very good information, thanks.

And just to get this 100% sure, and avoid the same mistake again, can an independent translator go watch the stream and check that this transcript and translation is correct? Not that I don't trust you NHY, just to convince the most stubborn posters.

And if we get that, then maybe a link to it in the OP. cheers.
