Well, that's basically what was said in the OP, nevermind lol. This makes a great deal of sense, it makes way more sense then the last thread. I understand what Mr. Chae is trying to communicate here, they want him to perform at the progamer standard, awesome. OMG that last thread -_-

Being frustrated and doing a probe rush in a meaningless game produces a thread of 265 pages... It's like the yellow press trying to produce some story from meaningless shit ("look at Justin Bieber's dress today wohoooo!") - come on guys. Naniwa played drone rush, so what? Overreaction everywhere.

Once again I am deeply sorry. This is a gross error that cannot be remedied by a simple apology. Instances like this and the misjudgements made about EG in the Providence writeup by Heyoka underscore the significant detriment to TL caused by poor reporting/journalism. Without enforcing the commentary before it is published, or prefacing controversial posts with "These statements are unvalidated and unconfirmed", all information that comes out of TL can only be taken as a rumor and possibly, entirely untrue. Posters with a lack of judgement and discretion, like CryingPoo and heyoka only serve to bring down the credibility of TL as a reputable source of information for Starcraft 2. I am very sorry. I have been doing translating for a bit now and my intention was never to hurt a reputation of TL or cause a disruptions. I fully understand your anger and I hope you could forgive me someday. I will try my best to be extremely careful in the future. I've read a bunch of your translations and they are usually really good. So I believe you that it was an honest mistake... But, damn dood your name certainly does not inspire confidence. Like would you want to read a translation done by a cryingpoo? Idn, imho if you want to keep translating for TL, maybe make a more innocuous name? : ( I have requested the change.. hope it happens soon enough. Thank you for your understanding.. I never meant to bring a wrong news as I also believed that was what happened.. I have been bit offensive in the last couple of days as I was abused by people who thought I 'wrote' the article from Thisisgame, when I only translated... I guess I was bit over myself and was also offensive to this OP who could make a real contribution to this situation.. Once again I am deeply sorry.. I am also emailing Mr.Chae to explain what I did..
As I understand these things, the mods prefer that you just create a new account at that point, specially if you have quite few posts as you do. (not sure though, wait for info from mods.) You will lose 177 posts, but maybe that is not the end of the world. Also you will not be associated to this event, which may be convenient.

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.
My bad, I forgot that was included in Mr. Chae's remarks.
Back to what Mr. Chae said "We gave the seed..." This is in contrast to something like "NaNiwa won the seed..."
Earlier in the broadcast, it was mentioned that Idra/NaNiwa were going to receive 2 Code S seeds but there has been a change and Idra/Sen will receive the seed. So it seems reasonable that he meant to say "we were going to give the seed..." But it's a live broadcast and he isn't reading from a script so thing like this happens.
The central point was 1) It was GOM giving the seed 2) They changed their plan because of so on and so on.

They are revoking Naniwa's invites on arguments based on morality and honor, and at the same time giving a seed to Idra, a player that's very famous for insulting his opponents when he loses. Does anyone else think this is a bit wierd?

They ignored Naniwa's past history. Idra never bm'd in their tournament or the 2 years he spent in Korea.

This whole thing is way out of proportion, I hope Mr. Chae releases a statement to clear things up. I think they were in their rights to punish Naniwa, but it seems to me that he didn't really violate anything in terms of my personal viewing expectations.
I don't want this whole Korean vs. Foreigner expectations thing to be such a big deal, because I really love the direction GOM has taken their format and think that the more top level (cough STEPHANO) foreigners that get to go into that talent pool the better we will all be for it.

If anything, IdrA changed for the better.

I'm repeating myself, but whatever.
If you have a global tournament, try and find a middle road. Don't enforce the punishment that's normal for 1 of the cultures involved.
|
I'm very happy that GOM's response was infinitely more measured than what was claimed. Also whoever said he was called a money grubbing hunter or whatever should be ashamed for tarnishing GOM's reputation.

the problem is just you have to honor the agreement between MLG/ GSL, Naniwa got #2 in MLG the hard way, he should not be punished just because Mr.Chae / GomTV/ Koreans have a different definition of pro gamer There was no contractual agreement. MLG/GSL did not extend to 2012 >.< Naniwa did not have a spot, was only a candidate due to his performance. But this is not the purpose of this thread.
In that case they forgot to tell both MLG and the rest of the world. Check out this guys compilation of MLG-quotes saying Naniwa won a code S-seed:

Ah there we go. That sounds much more like what I imagine Mr. Chae would say.
|
GOM has still not owned up to the their terrible tournament format. I don't care that NaNiWa was take out of Code S because of his manners, or his emotions, or whatever. I'm still waiting for GOMtv to say that they shouldn't have put those two players in a situation where their match would be utterly meaningless. It's absolutely abysmal tournament structure.

Although he didn't straight up say it. Mr. Chae basically called him an amatuer that plays the game for money just in not such a blatant + Show Spoiler + way

They revoked (or just didn't give to begin with) Naniwa's seed based upon one specific instance of poor conduct that the GSL believed was disresectful to their league, their sponsors, and their fans.
Further, Idra's BM is much further past, and not really against the GSL itself. Further past matters here because Naniwa isn't being banned from GSL forever, but rather, merely not being seeded into Code S this season.

I imagine Stephano was offered a spot before Sen, maybe even before Idra, and rejected it.

I mean, he is who he is. Maybe GomTV should be respectful of that instead of trying to mold him into their personally preferred type of pro-gamer persona. I'm not seeing other tournaments having this problem. He needs to respect the people around him while he's working, is it really that much to ask?

Is it that hard to realize that it was a mis communication and GSL/MLG had a misunderstanding? Stop trying to portray GOM in a negative manner.

No I don't. IdrA has played in Korea for SC1. IdrA has played in Korea in the GSL for SC2. He knows the culture and knows how to respect it. IdrA, while bad manner online, is never BM in the GSL. Why? Because it is NOT A GAME in Korea. It is a professional sport and IdrA is smart enough to know you don't act like a kid when people expect you to be a grown man.
