I think all this name calling and bashing are more detrimental to eSports than throwing a game. This kind of drama won't shed a good light for anyone. It's all a damn shame.

This has nothing to do with race and you're a moron if you think so. It's actually so ironic.

The point is there's a difference between playing not to lose so you can make it further in a tournament and throwing a game. It may not be best for the fans, for that particular game, but ultimately no one is going to complain because their team made it to the quarterfinals or whatever. In this case the greater goal of winning the tournament supersedes the lesser goal of winning that particular game. In the case of Naniwa vs Nestea, there was no greater goal, the only goal should have been to win for pride, and for the fans. Apparently Naniwa has no pride and no respect for the fans who paid to watch them play.

That's just a matter of opinion. YOU thought he should play for X reason. Naniwa thought he should play for Y reason. Both are viable opinions. YOU can choose to not like him for his choice. But in no way, should he be sanctioned for them. If you think Y reason shouldn't be allowed anymore, thats a separate argument.

My whole argument is a policy debate on , Naniwa did something bad, so we should punish him. My argument is that while not good, he didn't do anything against the rules, so he shouldn't be punished.

What annoys me the most about some of the posts here is that some of you seem to group the entire Korean population into a single entity and antagonize them. "The Koreans throw games too. OH THE HYPOCRISY. FOREIGNERS FIGHTING"

Did this article ever say "Oh all foreigners are bad mannered and unprofessional!@#"? I don't seem to remember reading anything like that.

The Korean forums have differing opinions on this incident, just like TL. Also, some individuals have acted unprofessionally before themselves and some have not. The Koreans actually aren't hive clusters under the Overmind control contrary to a popular belief.

In Idra's mind the games he prematurely gg'd he convinced himself it was a lost cause despite his best efforts at the time, from the start. This is definitely not the same as what Naniwa did who just chucked the game from the beginning because he was having a temper tantrum.

temper tantrum? have you ever been in any type of event with a semi competitive enviroment and lost a huge game (MMA vs Nani) and been forced to play a meaningless game after. Its probably one of the most painful things to do in sports, many times these games are forfited before even being played because one team or player is, for lack of a better word, heartbroken and no longers cares about a meaningless game. It was the furthest thing from a temper tantrum

Next time you're on an operating table, pray that the doctor you have feels an obligation to be thorough, safe, and professional.

Wait he won't, because he is not obligated to do anything.

We're talking about the same thing here right? A professional maintaining a set of professional standards?


Comparing a doctor to a person playing videogames for a bit of money in a small subculture.


Actually its the same. Professional means getting payed to do something be it playing video games or cutting open people.


Naniwa isn't getting paid to play video games, he's getting paid to win.
[...]


That's just plain wrong. He gets paid by GOM/Blizzard whoever 900 $ to play in the group stages of this tournament, and his team Quantic Gaming probably pays him a solid salary to play for them. Winning is just a bonus for being better than your opponents.


hes being paid to play, but its his choice on how he chooses to play. theres no sliding scale of how good you have to be to deserve the money they offered up to compete. nestea doesnt get 99% of the money and nani only 30% for the matches he played "for real". your argument makes no sense


What argument in gods name are you talking about? AGAIN, he gets paid money to play video games (SC2). Thats the only argument i stated.Don't know what you're going at, dude.

Yup, I played competitive golf all throughout high school and every summer and I know the feeling after having a bad front 9 or first day of 18 but you gotta play it out. I learned it the hard way after acting like Naniwa a few times. Don't talk to me like I have no experience with sports.

Thank you, finally someone providing something that isn't repeated every page of three threads. Would you mind elaborating your example to the golf-ignorant such as myself?

Edit: Darn, wrong thread. Would you mind elaborating in this thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=294331

Not an overreaction at all. Imagine it's the end of a football (soccer to Americans) season and some of the teams in the middle of the table know they cannot win and they know that they cannot be relegated to a lower league either. Their final game is "pointless" as it will have no effect whatsoever on the end result. We could even set up the example so that neither team would even change position in the league table no matter their result. These situations do happen.

Now imagine that both teams just stood there and did nothing. For the whole 90 minutes. Maybe sit down and have a sandwich and make a few passes with the ball. Anyone who enjoys football and takes it seriously will see this not only as a waste of their time (which they paid for) but also unsportsmanlike and an insult to fans. This is exactly what Nani has done.

To all citing a cultural divide, think what the reaction would be in your culture if a team, or individual, didn't bother making an effort in their respective because they knew it wouldn't change the end result. If you don't think the reaction would be the same, then you are very misinformed.

No cultural divide at all, just poor behaviour by Nani. Maybe QxG can help him out with his behaviour, but he should gracefully accept the criticism and his penalisation from GSL, just as any other sportsman should do the same if they behaved as so.

Golf is a little different because everyone could choke. The situation would be like making you play otu day 3 and 4 after missing the cut on day 2. After a bad 9 of 18 the entire field could have a terrible back 9 and you could end up in contention. You arent mathematically eliminated yet.

to be fair them, much of what they said is other peoples comments they are just quoting. i cant remember what exactly was said about the esvgate but they were pretty harsh too.


Just imagine if TL made their articles quoting total randoms from forums and reddit.

I disrespect the words from MVP Team... This doesn't sound like an official, respectable statement.

What makes us even angrier is that it was Nestea's birthday but he refused to stop practising for today. That is not a way of an opponent player.


This doesn't make any sense. In other circumstances this would be prised... What the heck?
