Good luck to them. Now i just need more Koreans to start streaming, especially Leenock. Also KSL is pretty awesome viewing. | ||

Youre not very objective are you? IdrA is a random invite? Btw, according to the new format, 2 new players would be given seeds to the next season of code S. I agree that Sen is a little weird and hard to explain but IdrA is perfectly understandable - for both skill and marketing reasons. | ||

Other sc2 pros have done things much worse, and ironically enough Naniwa get's the worst treatment for not giving it his all in a game that didn't mean shit. at all. Examples specifically in Korea? | ||

I just don't get the Sen and Idra choices except THEY'RE POPULAR. WE WANT MORE TICKETS. PLEASE BUY. Haypro/Huk are more deserving for Naniwa's Providence spot. Higher ranked Koreans are more deserving for the extra invitation spot. It just makes GSL look like they're desperate for cash/foreigners to watch. | ||

I agree with giving Naniwa a warning or a technical foul (reducing prize money or sth else). But disqualification for a thing which isn't even covered in the rules... no way. After seeing all this hate I'm going to assume GOM is going to respond to this. While I do agree a warning should be given, if there was a rule that explicitly stated you can't throw away games by worker rushing, GOM can't be fault for this. It is in their and the rule sort of serves as a warning (if there is a rule). I like GOM but I think they may be overreacting a bit. I honestly not sure if they think this is a good PR move or not. A lot of Koreans seems to agree what Naniwa did was wrong which makes me think GOM is just following the masses in train of thought and thinks no one will disagree. | ||

When pros in NBA and NHL act unprofessionally, they get fined and banned for a few games for serious infractions. In this case, a fine won't do jack to Naniwa since Quantic will be paying it off on his behalf. So a ban is really the only punishment available (you really think a disciplinary warning will do anything to Naniwa?) Anyhow, I'll sit back and see how severe the ban is. If it's only for 1 season I can get behind that since the Code S seed Nani got was an INVITE from MLG, not an qualification through Code A which he failed miserably. Any more than 1 season and it's harsher than needed. | ||

An frankly, Naniwa's record in Korea is abyssal, he's 1-12! GOM gave a free invite to an undeserving player, that player shit all over their event, and now, they are taking back the invite to give it to someone else. Idra may act on a similar way on foreign tournaments, but he was always a pro in GSL (and even when he 6pooled, he was one 5 health marine away from victory, you could say it was a risky yet appropriate strat). | ||

Yeah.. but it had nothing to do with GSL, as you had stated. | ||

But I won't be buying anymore. And it's off to the pirates I go. They could not have misinterpreted NaNiwa's attitude more. Prize money hunter? NaNiwa has made it very clear that he doesn't give one shit about prize money. Are you stupid enough to believe that he doesn't give a shit about the Money? Come on, you can't be serious.... | ||

Maybe too harsh, but at least it is line with other incidents where Rain and Choya both got banned. Rain got banned for basically screwing the whole scheduling and group thing in a GSL by just leaving without giving a notice in a reasonable time. Choya did get banned for the GSTL, yes, but that doesn't mean nearly as much as losing your code s spot for a season. And It's not even given that he gets his code S spot back. Right, I've forgotten that. | ||

This just makes MLG look better to me, handling Naniwa's BM much more elegantly by not overreacting. | ||

I purchased my annual ticket earlier this week, and I will do everything possible to get my money back if this turns out to be true. It's a bad mistake. | ||

Sen is questionable but IdrA is deserving, its hard to argue otherwise. Agreed on naniwa though, i dont mind that they banned him but its definitely really harsh. | ||
