really what it comes down to isn't about the fans, its about the sponsors. They paid good money for the event to be held and in return they expect to get advertising that is how they justify the costs. A game between naniwa and nestea is a high profile game that not only would have had thousands of initial viewers but for the next week+, even though it meant nothing in the tournament, would have been a top watched replay. A proper analogy would be like a baseball team forfeiting a game because they couldn't get in the pennant race. It's about the people who pay the bills and you have to answer to them.

I think the big debate is whether or not Naniwa is a professional gamer and entertainer, or just a professional gamer. While in the minds of some here Naniwa's job may be to put on a show, in his mind his job is to win. In this case the player has the control here. He isn't payed to put on a faux game that doesn't affect his career or his life. This is an example of an organization trying to instill values in its viewers. Much like the NFL trying to downplay big hits in an attempt to reduce injury. I don't know about anyone else but personally I watch football for the big hits and crushing injury. I don't care if they get hurt in the process, being a little dirty increases excitement and creates personalities in the league.

In the light of publicity, this game got way more attention for the league, its owners, and Naniwa, than if they had just had a straight match.

This is a response to a previous comment: As a doctor your job may be to do your best job no matter what, but when a person is clearly going to die is it really worth pumping them full of drugs just to extend their life, painfully, for another few days or whatever the case may be? As a person with two family member not he brink of death I can tell when the effort doesn't become worth it and its time to sit back and relax.
