Discussion of Naniwa's mental health (unless you know him personally or you email me your phd diploma) after page 96 will be dealt with severely. I suggest you talk about the games instead.

NaNiwa, you're guilty of me knowing now that Spacemarine has awful stream design.
God dammit.

He has every right to stop spouting nonsense. Even if there was a rule against refusal they openly allowed Harstem to refuse, setting the precedent that a player could refuse.

Not to mention it was talked about on stream that the mod told Nani he could refuse in the first place

The admin also said that he shouldn't have allowed that apparently..


Regardless of if he retroactively said he shouldn't have he did. And the precedent was there from yesterday. "I disagree with Naniwa's decision" and "he has no right" are completely different things

I actually don't know what the rules are on this. No one does. I think there should be a rule however, that you let your games being streamed by at least one streamer. This is a sport. It needs spectators.


Again, what the rules are or are not is largely irrelevant at this point. Players were allowed to refuse casting in previous days qualifiers, whether it was against the rules or not, so you (meaning the tournament staff) can't now refuse the same request after setting the precedent. Let alone be dicks about it.



You realize that your principle of precedents is mainly a U.S. American thing? In (most of the) EU most things are handled on a case by case basis.


Never in my life have I heard that. Still stand by what I said though. Especially the not being a dick about it part

That surprises me. In Germany for example, precedents mean almost nothing. Best you can do is refer to that, but one ruling does not automatically make the law "inactive".

So yeah, I think it's reasonable to start going by the rules, even if you said something else before(by mistake).


I agree with whoever said it earlier that the best thing to do would be say "from now on you can't refuse" (if that is in fact a rule). But forcing Nani or being a dick to him about it just is bullshit.


All Rifkin said is that he's not going to deal with it anymore. Hardly being a dick to him.

I agree though, from now on nobody should be able to refuse to be streamed.


He's certainly made it sound like Naniwa is doing the devil's work (slight hyperbole), which hasn't been the kindest thing. Especially after giving the whole "I totally understand" speech when it came to harstem.

Hello folks. This is the WCS Handbook from 2014 (update for 2015 in progress): http://media.blizzard.com/sc2/media/downloads/WCS-Player-Handbook.pdf

Here's a quote from it on page 32 which deals with the streaming of qualifiers: "The shoutcaster must receive permission from both players to broadcast if the game is being
broadcast on a non-official World Championship Series Qualifier stream;"

Currently, all of these streams are unofficial, so NaNiwa can refuse spectators.

Yeah you'd think for that being his team branded overlay they'd at least have shit in the correct area. Is this like a LoL overlay or something that he's just using for SC2?

TaKeTV and WCS_RU are official. Anyway, this just further proofes, that he has every right to refuse Basetrade.

Well as I said I don't really care about the Harstem thing. I'm just pointing out that objectively, he was just upset over it but didn't tell anyone to get his pitchforks out or anything.

Quite they hyperbole. If there was a tone of frustration it was with how long the admins took to respond while we were waiting for a game (very frustrating to have downtime in general) and that the other player wanted to be streamed, apparently.

Sitting there listening to it I thought it was mostly glossed over. 'We're trying' 'damn this sucks' 'idk if he's allowed to do this' 'okay the admin was wrong that's kind of dumb' 'let's move on and not talk about it' was turned into drammmmaaaa.
