But I guess that is a question of how you interpret the term. Maturity is a part of professionalism though. When Carmelo Anthony sucker-punched an opposing player on the basketball court it was unprofessional of him to do so, despite that fact that he plays basketball as a profession... and his unprofessional behavior resulted in him serving a punishment of some sort because a professional basketball player does not and, more importantly, should not behave that way. Similarly, a professional gamer does not, and should not behave the way Naniwa did, precisely because such behaviour is unprofessional. Maturity goes hand in hand with profession and professionalism... people of all professions are required to meet a certain threshold of professionalism before being granted professional status. Doctors are professional in their own ways, engineers in their own ways, lawyers in their own ways, athletes in their own ways, and progamers in their own ways. And when a minimum level of professionality is not displayed by such professionals they will and should suffer the consequences of their behaviour, just as Naniwa now has (it is a pity some other progamers don't suffer the consequences of their behaviour, but it is clear that as E-Sports grows, these cases will thankfully be taken more seriously and pro-gamers will truly become progamers as a result). Also, this does not apply to the vast majority of progamers... most know how to handle themselves professionally, but there are a select few who don't and I am happy that one tournament, at least, has finally decided to condemn such behaviour. Personally, I think this is better for E-Sports and the way E-Sports is perceived. | ||

IMHO suffer GOM-tv and the general Korean image more from being so dramatic than Naniwa himself. One would expect GOM-tv to be mature and settle the issue with an acceptance of apologies of Naniwa. However they clearly overreacted. TL;DR Being respectful is also very hard for GOM-tv and other overreacting Koreans. | ||

Talking about professionalism, then publically calling out a player. Bad mouthing and fingerpointing and generally jumping on the bandwagon of ridicule. Am I the only one who sees the irony. Also, the Im coach is a grown man, going after a young guy who is really out of normal environment. Even though nani probably needed to get his head straightened, this is pretty god damn despicable behavier. | ||

Yeah, I think we can all agree that the IM head coach is not the most respectful kid in the business.
