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


Can that be verified?

Well, at least it's just for a season. The next thing they should announce is that he at least keeps his code S spot or gets a new one the season he comes back.


They won't.

Naniwa actually upset a lot of people in Korea, this won't be a slap on the wrist thing. They invited Idra in hoping that foreigners won't be too upset for the Naniwa situation.

With that being said, that's such a cheap move

Well after thinking about it... it makes sense i suppose...

in west is mostly about individual rights, and players have a lot of power, but i see korean players as pretty humble and follow direction of organizations- and its their tournament and naniwa wasn't respecting that. meh...
i can feintly see why sen would get it from blizzcon 3rd... but idra? I have a hard time seeing why he would get the direct code S seed. I would even say xigua would deserve it more than him since he got 2nd in WCG which is way more recent.

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.

not true, ive seen it happen on more than one occassion...typically followed by them retyping the full "gg" but regardless it does happen...and even if it didn't...its not a big deal.

Idra has no gg'ed in GSL and it wasn't a problem. I understand the korean culture is different, but i feel without a doubt that if someone else had done it that they wouldn't have taken such harsh measures, especially for a game without meaning. Naniwa shouldn't have done what he did, but this is being blown out of proportion.


That is wrong, Idra gg'd in GSL in every match I watched (which was all I believe). Don't know where you got he didn't gg in gsl lol.


Pretty sure i remember him vs zenio or some other zerg, and he didn't gg. They even asked him why no gg and he made some smart-ass comment. Although this is the only one i can htink of, im almost certain there was another in his last GSL run. Regardless there deffinetly was atleast one...dont know where you where in that match

Edit: Found the game, WAS vs Zenio, and it was from NASL, so i withdraw my statement until i can find an actual case


idra has gg'd at every lan in sc2. online is a whole nother story

Good decision by GOM to kick Nani. Don't agree with inviting Sen and Idra directly to code S though.

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.

Boom, game over.

Actually Sen's and Idra's spots are separate from this issue. Not sure who will get Naniwa's spot.

It is just sad how much more important image is than actual gameplay. Image even gives respectively looses a player a code S spot. A sad day for competetive gaming imo.

I guess people have quite different opinions on professionalism. I see Nani getting kicked as completely unprofessional from GOM, normally I hate the overuse of the phrase "lost respect for X", but in this situation it is fully warranted: I have lost a LOT of respect for GOM...

Wow good job finding this particular quote. It basically justifies their decision in term of Korean values for progamers' conducts and should be put in their website's rule.


Ofc they have the right to ban people, it is their tournament, the question is if a proberush is enough to ban someone. I surely thnk that it isnt.

I support gom in both inviting sen and idra and also punishing naniwa.

It's a private organization, they can do whatever they want.

Gom giving out free code S without a competition
players like Hero/Puma/sase have to qualify while sen which has 0 acheivements at MLG or GSL gets in code S without a reason.
A small case can be made for Idra as he did well in MLG

And Naniwa which qualified and just due to a probe rush has lost his GSL spot... In the future no cannon rush/4gate/6pool can be done as it is inappropriate and has too low chance of winning?? WTF GOM...



Koreans take their SC as a very serious sport/entertainment. Nani pretty much spat in their face. We still view it differently cause its not as serious a sport to us yet. Different culters \(-.-)/

Lets say a scenario whereby in the old GOM format whereby there could be a match for 1st and 2nd seeds for the group. If you win you play MVP if you lose you play me (a scrub). Then you 7 pool against Nestea because you feel you can never win unless you get an advantage. You wtill lose because Nestea is a god and then GSL tells you hey you threw that match, you are disqualified) is that deserved? This could happen because GOM shows they can ban anyone.

In many competitions such as in WCG (according to SOTG), there were people throwing games to choose their opponents and they are not eliminated. NaNi threw the game and there was NO gain for him but he was banned.

Your rebuttal may be that it is not in the rules but in the GSL rules, HERE throwing matches are also not in the rules.

Hence i feel that banning NaNi is a very bad choice

Interesting. I see a clash of asian cultures vs western ones again.
For every viewer that turns away from the GSL , I pretty sure another like me, would stick to it even more. I value professionalism a lot and maybe cos I'm an asian as well , who knows.
On another note, the two foreign spots are present in this current format of the GSL, so it's nothing unexpected.

IdrA is my favorite foreigner, but the attention has to go to Naniwa's code S spot. The way these news were announced were really unprofessional, we shouldn't be here speculating over tweets or shit, the news should be more like; "Sen and IdrA got code S spots because..." Not just "Lol they code S LOL".

Sponsor as in, GOM is sponsoring them into code S. Not as in, sponsors are buying a seed. Think before you post, Gamania (Sen's team) isn't that rich, if they were really up for sale, another team would have snapped it up.

Calling it them sponsored seeds is to differentiate them from the other 2 foreign seeds into up and downs.

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.


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


Why? Isn't it time for esports to get a professional image? Naniwa can come back when he can act like an adult, like a professional.


Obviously never watched a game of football or rugby.


So football and rugby players start consciously scoring own goals in "unimportant" matches in the group stages of large tournaments?



Er........... He said acting professionally.

Is it professional for Suarez to swear at Fulham fans because they were booing him constantly?

Is it professional for rugby players to have a fight in the middle of the game? (happened every year i've been to the opening day of the rugby season at twickenham)?

Is it professional for a rugby team to get a guy to have a blood capsule and bite down on it during a game (Harlequinns, not banned from anything)?

Is it professional for a football teams players to surround a ref after a bad decision?

Is it professional for Drogba to scream 'it's a disgrace' into a tv camera in the champs league?


The answer to all these is no and yet they all happened and incidents similar to the above occur all the time.


Lol if football leagues banned teams for violations such as the above.

Managers constantly sent to the stands for unprofessional behavior. Teams get fined like £20,000 pounds for violations (note for retards £20,000 is nothing to a football team).


I mean fuck Alex Ferguson didnt speak to the BBC for a decade.... that is unprofessional.

A suspension was definitely the right choice. People are saying IdrA forfeits meaningless games regularly but I can never see him doing it for a planned BROADCASTED grudge match. Seeing as its broadcasted it matters to all the viewers and makes GOM look bad. 100% standing behind GOM on this one.


Naniwa is under no obligation to make GOM look good, nor is it his business to care about how they will look. If GOM is going to pick players based on which players they like the most and which players make them look good and bring them more money then that what they run is a show, not a legitimate competition.

How is that boom game over, naniwa offered some semblance of the game, just a short one. He could have just as easily 4 gated and noone would be saying shit, which is stupid.
