Now i just need more Koreans to start streaming, especially Leenock. Also KSL is pretty awesome viewing. It's their league, they can do whatever they want with it and owe no obligation. HOWEVER, with that being said, I don't like this decision AT ALL. If they want to take the hardcore approach, ban Naniwa, I don't feel like they should, but it's definitely reasonable and they have the rights to do it. But just handing out his Code S spots to Idra and Sen......they are good players, but I can't help but to feel they are just trying to capture foreign audience in a cheap way with this move. It all makes sense: Huk is out of Code S at least for now, and they need some foreigners to fill the void so foreigners will watch the games. It used to be Naniwa, but now with him gone they need someone, and they pick Idra. It's a cheap move, I LOVE Idra being in Code S. But its not fair at all. | ||

From the original GSL thread http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=141496 Eligibility - You must be at least 12 years old. - You must have your own Battle.net account. - You must fill out the registration form on the website. - You must be able to participate in the offline preliminaries. - GomTV can deny your participation if you are found unfit to be a gamer. So i guess GOM has deemed someone who do not give their best in all games to be unfit to be a gamer. This is also the rule that prevent Saviour and co from joining GSL. And non-meaningful games exists all the time in many competitions. Last weeks of NBA , NFL, EPL, MLB regular seasons? Between teams who cannot go to playoffs, who can't qualify for European Leagues but too high to get relegated? You don't see the 12th and 13th team in the EPL who met during the last week stage a mass afternoon nap session in the field don't you? They still play for the fans. Of course they can save/rest their players and try less hard. But they still show up and present some semblance of a game to their fans and to respect the competition. | ||

I said almost same thing few months ago when like 5 foreigns were invited to code A, and they all get destroyed in 1st round so I guess there is some justice, and tbh I dont see Idra doing well in code S. About possible Naniwa ban: I think he should be punished, but how big punishment should be I don't know, He needs to learn a lesson, thousand people watching, huge companies sponsoring players and events, its not a place to act like an unmature emotionally unstable badmanner and throw games even if they dont count. Hes already banned from ESL, he should also be banned from MLG since he trashtalk them on stage. Maybe he will learn to to think before act, or as I predicted months ago he will have no team that will want to sign with him, and he will have no big tournaments that will allow him to play. He could get a fine or something, maybe -_- On December 14 2011 18:39 Shellshock1122 wrote: Because it has to do with money and not the actual skill level of the players. The seeds have never gone to any Koreans because Gom wants to sell more season tickets. During NASL, the # of viewers super spiked during Sen's games. Sen is worth more money than Puma in terms of viewers MMA got code S from MLG Anaheim IIRC? MC got Code S from MLG Orlando. HerO or Puma would be good seeds given DH and NASL. | ||

But the rest are filled by Up-and-Down/Code A/Top eight Code S. The two seeds were for MLG + Player whoever fit their criteria. So who gets Naniwa's spot then? | ||

It basically justifies their decision in term of Korean values for progamers' conducts and should be put in their website's rule. | ||

At least make it interesting for the viewers. But just throwing it away not only hurts the players reputation, it hurts the tournaments reputation as well. If viewers can't trust GOM to be able to provide entertaining content on a regular basis, they are going to look elsewhere. GOM can't allow this behavior to spread, plain and simple. | ||
