Coca threw games, and therefore jeopardized the sanctity of SC2 tournament play. Whether you want to call it "match-fixing" or "throwing games" is irrelevant. He still broke rules and allowed the progression of an opponent who shouldn't have moved up, thus making it completely unfair to everyone else who works hard in that tournament. It's bullshit. I don't see any wrist-slaps for Demuslim or Stephano.
because korean scene is not the same as foreigner scene. I don´t know why people keep bringing up Stephano and Demuslim when we are dealing with the korean scene. They take this more seriously(for better or for worse)

Small or big, match fixing is killing esports That's isn't a good analogy Murder is murder, this is two completely different circumstances Throwing a game, is throwing a game. Throwing a game and match fixing are not the same thing. Match fixing is when you stand to gain something in return for throwing it. Coca didn't stand to gain anything Does it matter? He still threw a game. And publicly. Yes, of course it matters when their careers are on the line, how can you be so dismissive about it? They made a small mistake - something that they would most likely never repeat after seeing the backlash of this incident. I agree some punishment is needed but this is so excessive. Small mistake? It was for Code S spot FFS. He should have been punished, and I'm glad that he was.
What? it wasn't for a code s spot. it wasn't even a code a spot -.-

Small or big, match fixing is killing esports please, Don't over generalize. This was hardly match fixing, I mean the entire morality of the situation was not even in the presence of the players mind because it seemed to harm no one, It wasn't the GSL. Seeing as there isn't some governing body regulating all of sc2 e-sports having its foot up every tournaments ass, these sort of things don't seem like a big deal as the tournament itself seems illegitimate offering no real prize, It's not as if there is some common law that when it comes to these sort of things. Point being this could have happened to nearly anyone, I wouldn't expect even 90% of you to have the ability to use critical thinking and put your self in there shoes. I can't see how a big tournament such as your self or even the teams or even the people in this forum coming off there high chair and laying down their moral hammer. It's an unfortunate incident that this happened and it had a big impact but I doubt many players would have the presence of mind to realize the gravity of the situation, If there was a governing organization that would come out and start to regulate all the tourneys and players then this should be a big deal, also. Huge shame on mr chae for criticizing the players use of language. He has not claimed any authority to say what rules of conduct the players are to abide by. That is my rant EDIT: Id like to add... Situations like this could be avoided if ESL provided proper incentive for players to win, which is why a governing body is good for starcraft, so it can set standards for tournaments

I am aware that these are just kids and I do feel pitty but I still think this is unacceptable.
A 'pro-gamer' should not insult fans who watch the game anticipating good game. Sure many players fail to entertain but there is difference doing it unintentionally and doing it on purpose, not to mention showing it to viewers witout shame or guilt.

talk about bm. I think he should be suspended from all GSL events for six months at least. I know Boxer bumped him to the B team but still. That's not enough.. he should maybe even be fined.
If he was on my team he would be removed.

Just ban those guys from GSL and all teams. It may not be permanent, but 1 year is fine imho. ^^

Last time I checked GSL isn't a team league and has nothing to do with this particular ESV.
If I was causing disruptive behavior in the local supermarket I wouldn't get a ban from all the restaurants in the city. Why should CoCa be removed from a party with no affiliation to this incident? Because it reflects negatively on GSL? No, that is silly.

Removing him might be going a bit too far. I think Boxer's content with just letting Coca think about his actions.

Couldnt they atleast do it in whispers and a little more subtle? jkjk, this is really sad to see, loved coca
|
I just want to make a distinction here for anyone saying that the GSL or Gom should enforce some kind of punishment - they can't. This tournament had nothing to do with Gom or the GSL, as far as I know the ESV Weekly is a different entity entirely. So any and all punishments have to be made by the teams that the players are on.
|
if anything they should be kicked out of the GSL for being too stupid to compete - what sort of idiot announces their intent to do this in game chat over a stream?

The asians/koreans see it as a damage/insult to the professionalism and legitimacy of Starcraft 2, whereas the west sees it as a mere trivial matter within a PC game tournament.
I really want Starcraft 2 to grow.
Anyhow, match fixing is match fixing, and it hurts SC2's attempt to legitimize itself and E-Sports. For CoCa and Byun to do so blatantly is borderline insulting to the viewers and people who have worked hard for Starcraft 2 thus far.
Not surprisingly Koreans do seem sensitive to anything that resembles match fixing. The BW incident really burned them. Not saying that what happened is right, but in Korea this seems to be a bigger deal than it would be anywhere else.

For a 17 year old kid who's making potentially thousands of dollars every (other)month, withdrawing from code S is a big big deal. Put him on the B team, reprimand him etc., but they're basically making him lose out on a lot of potential prize money...

How is this match fixing? A: He didn't gain anything. It's not match fixing.
How is this failing to represent a team in a tournament? A: It's not. They went on to ANOTHER GAME.
Please reinstate your players please.
EDIT: Oh yea, I almost forrgot. SlayerS Cella let coL.MVP's DRG win his Code B qualifier to get into Code A last season. Let's punish both Cella, a team coach, and DRG for ruining esports.

What are you arguing? Read the OP, it's stated he has removed himself from GSL and that the team his banned him from future competition until his mentaility is right. Obviosuly the team doesn't want him representing them in tournaments untill they can trust him.... GOM didn't remove him from GSL, he chose to leave himself - probably from pressure from his team, but nontheless, GOM didn't force him to leave.

I'm glad this is being taken seriously in the Korean side of ESPORTS at least. I remember a similar thing happening with Morrow and some EU Terran, and there were really no consequences other than a little soon-forgotten community backlash.

And no team with right mind would take in a player that has been kicked out by Boxer for inappropriate behavior. That would be as same as lifetime ban. Also, Jessica said that was the original plan, but I'm guessing Coca somehow managed to convince her to let him stay in the team.

It needs to be a punishment for the deed done and what that should be is up to his team and all the tournaments respectively (I whished that there were a "player's union" looking after the individuals right however) and lastly the fans.
There isn't only one tournament who may punish him, which is good, because that will allow some redundancy in punishments so that an "overreaction" need not be world ending. There is no "player's union" which is bad. The teams must of course be able to distance themselves and make sure team discipline is maintained.
And then there's the fans' judgement: what do you think and will you still support them?

An apology and reprimand by SlayerS would have been enough to get the message across.
