Fire as in lighting the diamond encrusted sigar as you sit on your jetsky made of dollars and gold. Sure if it was done here in holland he would get a minor tap on the fingers. But I'm not Korean and I don't know jack about what they really look down upon. So I don't see it as a terrible punishment if they really feel like its a bad thing. All depends on the values | ||

(see previous posts)I think the op misinterprets the accident. in fact, coca helped his teammate get a spot in code a by losing that game and maybe the next one, so there is a clear gain for him in dropping that game. but i don't feel qualified to judge the severity of the deed and of the punishment. edit yeahaaa! i'm marine now!  ))/there should be a bot to post this at every 4-5 posts | ||

But some do blow the punishment out of proportion. He is not the only one "not on Slayers A-team". It's a reminder to everybody what it takes to earn that privilege. He is not suddenly the outcast being spitted upon. In the KR netizen public, maybe. But none of us really can tell how things are handled internally and especially on a personal level. None of us can tell how he is being treated by Boxer, Cella and Jessica, what they told him exactly. There's a certain sentiment inside TL saying "he'll never make it back". On the other hand, from Slayers' point of view "with such a mentality, one might not have been fit for the A-team anyway". Forfeiting Code S is a huge deal, I get it. But on the other hand, it's a 2-month ban at the end of the year. Not a life-ban. Plus, there is to be more permeability to be expected with GSL's new format. I feel that's not the important part anyway- for Coca that is. I do imagine being thrown out of the house is the biggest disgrace, Yet again, we can't comment on how things will go on from this point. Is he really being left in the rain by his team? Or is it "show us that you're worth it". He will have to go through internal selections again. Being measured against all the others that are eager to climb up the ranks. Either he comes out on top or some other talent steals the show. At that time, it will be left to the team's upper echelon to judge. But that is part of the everyday process within a team | ||

It's pretty much the worst thing you can do in eSports. If he's guilty, then he should be prepared to suffer the most severe of consequences. He's lucky that SC2 isn't KESPA governed, or he might be banned for life. | ||

You can also compare it to people who nuke themselves to demonstrate their advantage (and sometimes lose), but applied to a series in which you would handicap yourself with 1 game to make it more challenging and to extend your practice with 1 more game.throwing away matches on purpose even for no gain, shows they do not take their role seriously. | ||

You are the one that misinterprets the situation. well i was misinformed by this thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=285566 but now when i read some explanations i still don't see a fair play in this game. it was matchfixing spoken out aloud, no matter for what purpose. | ||

It wasn't match fixing. It would be match fixing if they went into the game and Coca played bad / made mistakes on purpose in order to lose the game. But he CLEARLY says in the FULL chat log to the game that he didn't care if he win or lost he wanted to forfeit for more practice. | ||

It's good to see these players' teams taking an active role in enforcing professional standards in their players' conduct. Continuing to foster an atmosphere of professionalism is important to the future growth of the E-Sports scene. | ||

He did show a gg, thats the point.. He played all the matches and they were submitted to be casted. They were good games too, both players playing to win. At the end of the day why do we accept player A surrendering to player B as player B winning even if player A has won the game? | ||

This is not the end of his career (I hope). It is merely a lesson that in a competitive environment, any form of intentional loss is unacceptable. And lets be honest. In January, who here believes they won't be seeing coca on the SlayerS A team again?  I mean really people. | ||

If he is willing to throw a match to help a friend get into code S, then he deserves to have his code S status taken away. | ||

Nothing you said is true and its only adding to the misinformation already floating around these threads. | ||
