No how it works in sports is that you compete, a winner is decided and you shake hands as a simple acknowledgement of respect. Shaking hands is not really optional. Not that I care about naniwa making drama. | ||

I don't know where you are from, but in EVERY sports, loser do approach / initiate the handshake. A winner doing it, is bad sportsmanship JUST AS MUCH as denying it. I bet you won't last very long with <250 posts already acting like the biggest douche ever. Actually, that's wrong, in the US from HS - college both teams/players shake hands no matter what. | ||

When u win u don't go fopr handshake first, it's similar to offensive gg from my point of view. Huh... interesting point of view. Over here, I typically see the winner walking over to the loser's booth to shake hands or they meet halfway. In the few times I've seen a handshake happen in the GSL, it was always the winner walking over to the loser's side as well. | ||

The tournaments could adopt a "korean approach" to such televised matches and tell the players to shake hands ... much as the koreans make a bow to the audience before their matches. | ||

He has his ups *cue nani and thorzain playing cards/checkers/etc* and he has his downs... handshake deny... so sad. In all my years of playing soccer, there were only maybe a COUPLE people that wouldn't shake my hand after the game, out of 1000s of people. And, if I remember correctly, only 1 team as a whole. It's one of the most disrespectful gestures in sports, esports included. Na-ni, that's a no-no. | ||

Think of it as in playing ladder I guess, the loser is the one who ggs out, when the obvious winner does it it can smack of gloating (although I don't think that was the case in this instance) I agree. When I lose in chess I give up by offering my hand saying good game. | ||

You obviously are way more in touch with the real world, it's easy to see because unlike NarutO you don't get all up in arms over a forum post... Seriously, he was just calmly stating his opinion. so how does it feel like in his ass? maybe the smell clouded your common sense implying i am more bitter than him after my favorite to win actually WON and after he wrote something stupid and i laughed about it. also i didn't say he called anyone a douche. seriously, try to think for a fucking second before you try to defend something or someone, because this was weaker than naniwa in armwrestling. | ||

I have to agree...You can't say "we in the states act like men" then expect people to take anything you say after that seriously. | ||

but when offered a handshake you take it. If you're insincere about it, just give him a limp floppy one instead of a firm solid one. | ||
