So guys, how about Stephano 6 pooling Cloud, twice, at Dreamhack in a series just because he was out? Oh, and that series could had actually mattered for the tournament outcome.

Naniwa responds on twitter: "apparently people got upset when i probe rushed nestea, the game was pointless and it couldnt change anything in the tournament."

people who bought the HD Pass just to see good games from him, will not approve of this behavior. It may also be difficult for his team to aquire sponsor for players, who refuse to do their Jobs. Why should I buy A Naniwa shirt? An amateur player is allowed to throw away games, a professional is not.

He would not play a good game even if he didn't throw it casually. There's no way he'd use a build he'd practiced in a publicly available game that meant nothing, and let whoever he gets matched against in the GSL use it as practice material. At most he'd just throw together some standard build or copy the one he used against Leenock.

I'm pretty sure this is why Quantic hired him.
It makes his team, his sponsors, and foreigners all look bad imo.

Or IPL3 Idra forfieted 3 series in poolplay. That takes less effort then probe rushing.

TL users have too many double standards.

Why should I buy A Naniwa shirt? An amateur player is allowed to throw away games, a professional is not.

People bought HD pass to see good games in a best of 1? Why invite the winners of all major tournaments to a cup that is supposed to determine king of kings and then make it a best of 1? There is noone to blame for this predicament but GSL.
Why should you buy an Idra or Destiny t-shirt? Why are combat ex and deezer more popular than people with 10x their skill? This is good for quantic, there is no such thing as bad publicity.

People still dunno that Korean sc2 communities is way different than American-Europe sc2 communities.Koreans take gaming way more seriously than them and they just dun say"meh it was a pointless game so i just throw it away".Koreans dun accept it.There are definitely conflicts regarding this event but i tell you Korean anti-fans or hate is damn scary.

how is this any different than idra regularly throwing the 7/8 (or similar) place matches in mlgs?


placement matches aren't broadcast.

So you're saying it was GOMTV's fault for broadcasting an inconsequential game?
