Uhm, no? With Naniwa in Code S, I would have bought a season ticket. Now, not so much. I don't expect that GOM will care that much about me not watching, but I still think it's a mistake on their part to ban him.

The difference between Major and Naniwa is that Naniwa is actually good.

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. A petion for what? Are you fucking serious? GOM can enforce their rules however they please, give me a break. Except there is no rule...retarded move from GOM.

Did everyone forget that Idra won IEM- Guangzhou. Not the best tournament but one that could be considered major![[image loading]](http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/images2/6/6c/GSL_Sponsorship_League_format_2011_November.jpg) In this format explanation 2 code S seeds will be given out(most likely for foreign tournament results)

There was always a second invite spot. People suggested it might go to the highest ranked non-Code S player in the Blizzard Cup, but they just gave it to Idra cause...you know, he's Idra.

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. no, what Gom did was the perfect response and I applaud them for taking such action. Starcraft is a professional game and we don't need attitudes and disrespect from people like Naniwa. Just be glad he's not banned for life, as he would if he pulled the same stunt in any Esport in Korea aka sc1 this is wildly ignorant
This statement is ignorant since you don't explain your view/opinion at all.
His opinion is back up with legitimate viewpoints.

If you try to cheat/exploit the system to get into the GSL like Choya did, you basically have to apologize and eveything is fine. If you matchfix in games that actually matters for GSL, you get a "temp ban" by your team, not by the league. And if you proberush in a game that had no other purpose than to take place in a tournament not directly related to the GSL, you lose your whole progress in the GSL and get punished by the league in the hardest way possible
Sorry GOMTV, as much as I respect you, but I think you made the wrong decision. @Bolded part: Choya was actually banned from the first GSTL, after his ladder shenanigans.

I don't this, GSL said that they wanted code S to be for the best of the best, and I feel that it's really unfair to give a direct code S, i know sen and idra will attract a lot of viewers, but I feel like gsl is loosing some credibility by doing so. On the other hand it's also sad that two code S players are dropping out...
|
So,is it actually confirmed that nani is banned? I've never been a fan of naniwa and I don't like what he did yesterday but this is way too extreme on gom's part if they decided to kick him for his game vs nestea.

Sorry GOMTV, as much as I respect you, but I think you made the wrong decision. This is exactly how I feel. I can't believe I'm actually legitimately upset over this but I am. Can't wait for Live on 3 tomorrow though for Scoots' take on it though
they're not even the same scenario, and choya is banned from GSL for 3 seasons. If his team didn't do it, gom would have.
|
Gom giving away a code s stop to Idra is probably a marketing move to get more foreign views. It would make more sense if they made another qualifier spot.
If Naniwa is out, its sad for him. Really warsh from Gom but it isnt like he didnt deserve it.

Sorry GOMTV, as much as I respect you, but I think you made the wrong decision. Choya did it on ladder to get back to his real MMR fast. He also got banned from GSTL. Coca's punishment was harsh and how do you know that GOM wouldn't have kicked him out if Slayers didnt? And Naniwa's situation is a matter of respect, not rules. Nestea played for real, and other players would have too, foreigners or not including even Idra.
Don't even try to act like Nani not trying his hardest 1 game in an utterly pointless game deserves a ban from the GSL, when there were literally nothing bad done by Gom to choya and coca. The only bad thing that happened was choya was banned from GSTL which is almost nothing compared to a ban from GSL

Haha, wow I thought what Naniwa did was dickish but taking away his spot is equally dickish

No, you're misinformed about Choya. To qualify for GSL qualifiers, you had to get a certain amount of ladder points(KR ladder). Choya figured out it is more effective to just mass games and get about a 50% winratio which was achieved by playing rock paper scissors instead of playing real games.
(And also @NuclearJudas): Okay, I forgot the GSTL thing, but being banned from the GSTL is not that big of a deal compared to losing your Code S spot imho.
Coca's punishment was harsh because he actually DID serious matchfixing there.
And you are absolutely correct about Naniwa's situation: It's a matter of respect. People have been disrespectful all the time, why Naniwa is treated in such a way is beyond me.

Should really wait for an official statement from GOM before cursing their name for the next 100 pages of this thread. Probably has nothing to do with Naniwa and everyone here is overreacting (as usual).

Smart move by gom to give idra a free entry. their subscriptions will go through the roof with him participating... Lets face it, he is the foreign player that attracts the most attention of all, that includes fans who are willing to pay for good quality streamed tournament games....ringing a bell here?

Actually from what I gathered Koreans are really pist at Naniwa for what he did.

Rule or not, there's obvious shit you shouldn't do like MAKE GOM LOOK BAD ON TV.
What if another player shit talks or is disrespectful to someone from GOM or just another player? You think they'd stand by that whether a rule is in place or not? He spit on the organization and was disrespectful, and he got kicked out. It's called having common decency.
