Whatever SlayerS does to him it's their buisness true, but I still think not letting him continuing in Code S is a little too much. Not like it's so easy to get into code S, might as well let Coca finish the season at least? Why throw away a chance that a SlayerS might get another GSL trophy? Geez... | ||

I don't see a problem with how this was dealed with. If I managed a team I would of suspended the player from tourneys as well. People learn from their mistakes and I think CoCa learned a big lesson during ESV. | ||

Westerners don't take the game as seriously, sure some of them do, but most teams I don't think have the mentality to run teams like koreans do. Yes, hurting your teams image is pretty much like spitting in the face of your manager, its a disgrace. People shouldn't be worried considering its also a different society. | ||

Many korean players that are in the same team could help each other so that code a or code b player get the code a or code s seeds. This kind of behavior cannot be tolerated as it destroys the very spirit of competition. Tolerating this kind of behavior would open players that are more sly the opportunity to use matchfixing for money making (like savior). I believe Coca and Byun should be prohibited to participate in any event for at least a year. You realize that would completely ruin their lives. They don't make enough money, they'd pretty much have to quit sc2 and and go to school or get a job. One in game non the fly random mistake because they weren't really thinking of it as a real event and ruin their lives? They train like 12 hours a day and dedicate their lives to sc2, you ban them for a year, they can't guarantee to still be competitive then and be able to sustain themselves, they'd have to quit. Honestly a year from now, Nestea will probably be out of the competitive scene and jaedong will be crushing everybody. | ||

They are banned from playing until deemed fit to resume, whenever that is. Guess being a progamer isn't cut out for just about anyone. Surprise! | ||

Also, The White-Ra incident was nothing like this. IIRC, in that case White-Ra was late to his first game (there may have been a good reason, but i forget) so his opponent was given the walkover for game 1. Up 1 game in the series but wanting a straight up series against White-Ra his opponent lost/gave up game 2, and they played straight up in game 3. The guy wanted White-Ra to have the same chance at winning the series for the sake of sportsmanship. White-Ra didn't ask him to, he did it for the sake of a fair series. So where exactly is the correlation to this case where Byun, who lost game 1 straight up, and is about to lose game 2 straight up, asks his friend to quit so they can play a third match? Everything was fair and even from the get go, nothing warranted Coca taking this action. As long as i understood the punishment correctly and it only lasts till the end of the year and he is then given a fair chance to start over again then i see no problems. | ||

If Coca would have won this GSL, no one would talk about the game against Byun anymore. He had to be punished, because they talked about it in the replay imho. If they just talked over Skype and not SC2, so none can see it, it would have been no problem. | ||

Coca said in chat he only plays this to practice vs Terran, because all his Terran teammates were busy at another event.Coca wanted a third game for practice!? Um.. What!?! He's advancing to the next round, boom more "practice". | ||

Not quite on the white-ra case. Whitera was dq'd 2-0, then ran into the same player in the loser's bracket. Due to MLG's extended series rule, he started a bo7 down 0-2 against his opponent. A lot of players argue against the validity of the extended series rule, and in this case, the two players had never actually played in the first place. Throwing the games was a form of resetting a bo3 and defying the extended series advantage that was given as a technicality. Similar cases, but there are some distinctions to be drawn, specifically with the nature of the extended series rule advantaging one player after a dq. | ||

If SlayerS would have done nothing against Coca that would have reflected on them poorly. Even though this might seem harsh it could have been a lot worse. | ||

I believe he was referring to the Gimix incident where ePgimix dropped 2 sets to WhiteRa in an MLG in order to make it a best of 3 instead of him having a 2-0 lead due to the extended series rule. | ||
