GOM kicking Naniwa might be the worst response to this possible. If his 'offense' wasn't covered in the rules then it's a matter for the team to take up; this makes all parties look unprofessional and hurts the scene even more =/ No way I'll be buying another ticket if it's true.

I know Jinro wouldnt take it but I hope he gets offered a Code A Spot! Id love to see him back and maybe even playing vs IdrA in GSL again ^.^


Jinro was offered it awhile ago but he declined because he wants to earn his spot.

I don't understand why people think that nani doesn't deserve a kick out of the tournament. He didn't behave:
- "g" instead of "gg": I see this as a spit in the face
- probe rushing

In such a big tournament you just have to act professional, and he just can't.


will you shut up you drama queen. he was rushing to leave game so did only one g by accident and he probe rushed because he was playign a meaningless game ina bullshit tournament structure.. hell in up and down games in regular season you dont play when you are already out... so whats the big deal.


You don't just miss a g. Do you see a korean GSL player miss a g? No. The games are NEVER meaningless, the viewers always want a nice great match. If I was in charge I would make sure that this kid would never be allowed to participate in ANY tournament.


I think you miss spelled your TL account name, KESPABear, more appropriate.



You have to see the whole picture. Naniwa is just really really really bad mannered in general. Teams kick him, he insults korean progamers in interviews, etc. He acts like Major aka princess aka terran, and people like that are not professional enough to participate in prestigious tournaments. But hey, its my opinion, which is nothing worth, so let's move on.

Meanwhile better players are fighting for their careers in Code Hell ...

Idra left your league because he felt it wasn't worth it stay when the foreign scene continued to grow. Now that he is back in Korea he should have to work his way back to Code S. The Sen invite is just random as hell.


I completely agree, you ruin the prestige of your tournament by doing this. However from an economic point of view, it is a good decision. SC2 is dead sport in Korea, relative to SC1. When Kespa makes their own leagues, they could potentially put GOM out of business.

I hope they make a new video for Idra, kinda like the one they did when he left GSL.

I don't get why they didn't just hold a wildcard tournament for people who lose at the Up and Downs like they did back in the first season of code S when LiveForever left to the army and also when Rain left. They have an actual off-season this time so they certainly wouldn't have problem with just holding a small online tournament to determine who deserves the Code S.

Even though I'm very happy for IdrA (and Sen) I don't think this is the way one should receive a code S spot. Quite frustrating for the Korean players fighting constantly in Code A to earn a Code S spot and now suddenly two non-Korean players receive one.

Also, does anyone has an update on Naniwa's code S spot?

Boycotting GOM / GSL it is.


Totally agree. We need to set up a petition or some kind of community rally to make some noise at least to how ridiculous GOM is acting in this. They have a terrible format with no rules stating probe rush isnt allowed, then ban a player who follows their shitty rules? Unbelievable really.

hope that's dropoff is from Sc instead of Naniwa

first Idra then Sen

Huk/ Sen/ Idra / Naniwa - best foreign lineup in code S ever?

sick of foreigners getting spots in code S just because they're foreigners. I hope oGsfin and those guys beat them 2-0 first round.

Naniwa's spot should go to Huk or Haypro for being the highest ranked behind him at Providence.

Idra's spot should go to the highest ranked GSL player not in Code S after Up-and-Downs between Polt, July, Nada.


Ive read a few of your posts through out this thread and I know where youre coming from. But heres what we know, Gom is heading out a (or 2) code S spots.

If thats the case, IdrA is just as deserving as anyone, more so than July or Nada. Also if you think about it from GOMs management/marketing department, it makes PERFECT sense. Afterall, gomtv is a business too.

Since IdrA is my favorite player I may be biased but I dont really see a need for an uproar since IdrA is fully deserving of this. (Whether you can make this argument for a few others is irrelevant from a marketing standpoint. No one is as popular nor will they bring as many viewers as IdrA.)

bad decision to kick naniwa, GOM probably always wanted idra back because of the viewers he brings and saw their chance


If they did indeed kick naniwa out and gave the spot to idra, i'll have two reasons to not watching this season of GSL.

They kicked naniwa and gave his spot to Sen. We dont know who idra is replacing yet

Reading the thread, on the korean stream supposidly mr.chae or however you spell his name said naniwa is banned from GSL, and some guy told Sen that as well he had his code S spot revoked.

It would be SO disappointing if they kicked nani out. His games are so entertaining and he's so damn good. Punishing him for their shitty tournament format.. Guess what, this kind of thing happens when there's pool play EVERY TIME. Worthless games are not worth playing.
good vibes only

The strength of Code S has upped ten times since Idra left. If Idra gets his spot back, Rain and LiveForever should also get their spots back as well.

Are they trying to qualify?


Okay, so why not give the spot to Nada or Polt? Both higher ranked in GSL points than Idra and they have both made semifinals in the past few months.

Idra got the spot because he's popular and GSL wants more foreigners so that their tickets sell. It's not because his skill is above all others trying to qualify that he needs to go straight into Code S. I like Idra. I want him in Code S. But I want to see him earn it by testing his skills in Up-and-Downs.

IdrA's only in Korea for training, GSL is just convenient for him.

They'll probably get more viewers because of Idra being in than Naniwa being out. Pretty smart decision IMO. They're probably being pressured domestically for the removal of Naniwa anyway.
