An article on Naniwa from Thisisgame - Page 23

Also Blizzard and GomTV should firmly warn about such a behaviour to Naniwa.

The Koreans did the same/ worse things in BW foreign tournaments so them getting pissed about this seems quite ironic.

Theory: If breathing isn't illegal and I do so, should I be punished if people don't agree with the way I breathe?
Theory 2: Koreans all breathe out of their mouths, but I breathe out of my nose. Should I be banned from Korea for not following their customs which are not laws or rules?
Think about that. Probe rushing, while it may be identical to just walking out and not playing a match, is not the same. If GSL's rules do not involve "No worker rushing", then by all means Naniwa has every right to end a game he doesn't want to play as fast as he can by executing said strategy.

From the page you quoted

" However, as the 1982 match did not live up to these expectations and was widely perceived to be fixed, many observers including German and Austrian were strongly critical of the teams' performances."

"In a similar instance in the 1978 tournament, at the end of the second round group stage the Argentinian team had the benefit of knowing the result of an earlier game involving Brazil, which led to a 6-0 win over Peru, advancing them to the final by goal difference. As a result of these and similar events, FIFA ruled that in the future both final group matches must start on the same day at the same time, so as to prevent such an event ever occurring again".

Clearly people were not happy, to point of changing the rules,

I dont about the other thing your talking about, dont follow american sports.

That was my favorite part as well XD. As a side note Greg fields wrote on twitter "dont have meaningless matches if you want players to take them seriously." I can see that side of the argument, but still it wouldn't hurt Naniwa to play a game vs Nestea.

wow you're such a dumbfuck. They received shit from korean netizens too. Naniwa throwing those games away was basically spitting at the audience, viewers, casters, fans and other players. He thinks hes a fucking progamer? Progamers are pro because they are PROFESSIONAL trash like him shouldn't play starcraft. He has no talent anyways. all talk.


EDIT: also people PAYED to watch these games. him throwing it away is the same as taking people's money and trashing it

But you do realise that you'd be hurting the scene more than Naniwa by refusing to support MLG/Dreamhack/etc?

No. Because you and I have different values on what hurts the scene and what doesn't. By not paying for DH/MLG, they'll lose money and a viewer. While money and exposure are important, having classy professional players will help generate those two and establish e-sports as a serious industry. Maybe when e-sports becomes mainstream, you'll have room for mavericks, but right now I believe that people like Naniwa are hurting the scene. All I saw from Naniwa today was a selfish kid who doesn't know the hardships of a vocation - an individual that doesn't help e-sport's image. If MLG/DH are tolerant of his behavior then I don't think that's going to help e-sports. Therefore I'm not really hurting the scene by refusing to support DH/MLG.
