You realize that if a bunch of native English speakers are confused by the wording on your site, that someone who has English as a second language may also be confused?

Trying to place blame on Naniwa for this issue is pathetic.

Also MLGAdam is Senior Vice President, League Operations and Production, If you can't trust someone like him then the league is fucked.

Reddit cracks me up. They take affronts to their favorite players sooooo seriously. It's like "How DARE you say bad things about Nestea!!! We're like the bestest friends evar even though we've never met!!"

I wonder if Naniwa needs a rivalry to play his best?

You guys are so cute and naive, doing exactly what they counted on, who would ever believe the tarnished progamer from sweden over the clean cut american capitalist heroes of MLG? What possible reason could a higher up in an organisation that runs tournaments which have had significant administration issues over the years (including in the SC2 era with incidents like the white-ra scheduling and thorzain's various issues), have for trying to downplay any mistakes the administration staff have made?

But the jig is up, the cat has left the caboodle and the horse has bolted, we all know the truth now and the only way to stop them from their hostile takeover of sweden is to publically undermine them in teamliquid threads.

The admin didn't tell him that, I know because I was standing right there. Why wouldn't a player playing in a National Championship know where the spawns were? He chose the map, it is his responsibility to know the intricacies involved.

There is responsibility on the players to know the settings they are competing on. The maps were not published the day of the event.

I was at the live event, and a lot of people were confused/upset that he looked at the replay between matches too.

I'm going to play devils advocate here because i took the time to look it up on your website when the controversy hit.
And to be honest i was quite amazed how inconclusive rules on this page are:

Either there is something hard to understand there or it leaves room to 2 different interpretations. Blizzard spawns or cross pos only.

Also i believe its MLG's resposibility to have clear and easy to follow ruleset which is displayed somewhere for everyone to see. So while its obvious Naniwa has some issues to work out, i think you should tone down your response which might be viewed as a bit arrogant.

That, or you're taking an incident that has already been resolved and trying to morph it into some weird, boundless conspiracy theory. What the fuck kind of point are you trying to make with that "clean cut American capitalist heroes" statement, anyway? All you're doing is trying your best to find a bad guy responsible for an issue that can be chalked up to nothing more than miscommunication.

Get your conspiratorial bullshit out of the thread. Yeah, this whole thing was a mistake, but mistakes happen, especially in huge tournaments like MLG. That doesn't mean there's a villain here. None of us are interested in your Chicken Little fantasies.
