Raping a very serious crime and should _NEVER_ be used in terms of "he will loose". ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/QmsBN.jpg) You mean like this? People are so sensitive about certain words nowadays. | ||

I'm not your slave that needs to personally deliver each post that you choose to ignore. I could go back again and again and answer this, but it straight comes down to, why should professional competitors play their hearts out when they are no longer essentially competing. They aren't there to entertain audiences (inherently at least), they aren't there to do anything but compete, once the real competition has ended, which it had, the game just turns into entertainment which isn't what competitive players are there for. This situation is almost identical to what happens in the NFL every year at the end of the season, teams put in their 3rd string players for multiple reasons, the biggest being that the games don't matter and it's more beneficial for them to put in their 3rd string players. Yes you can argue that those 3rd string players are playing their heart out, but thats an entirely different situation, the discussion should be about the team and the game in general. The overall play and quality of the games is much worse than it would be with the 1st string team in, and the team as a whole isn't even a fraction of what it could be. NFL teams putting in significantly worse players at the end of the season which result in a very poor game quality is no different than Naniwa using a horrible strategy that ends in a very poor game, they both might as well be forfeiting because the games are meaningless. | ||

These guys are earning money with it! I hope most of them will understand that they also have to react that way. There is more to it than just playing a game, this also includes behaviour in general, professionalism and much more. I disliked the thumbs down action from Naniwa a lot. In which other sports do you see this? The Gracken e.g. is a great player, but he has to work on his approach to winning a game when he is behind. He is not playing for himself but for his fans too. Right decision from GomTV! Keep up the good work. | ||

They should have invited huk, sase, or stephano instead (they are in korea). I laughed hard. You really think few days of ladder in new environment represents players capability? I bet you are one of those people that call anyone "best player in the world" after they win 1 tournament. | ||

Really nice logic there, GOMTV. Sen/Idra did the exact same thing as Naniwa. Place highly in a foreign tournamnet. | ||

Except Sen actually play on KR/TW server; hence higher quality of practice opponents. GOM's logic is simple; it wants Idra and US subscribers. Naniwa doesn't really bring out the European subscriptions does he? | ||

Naniwa beats Koreans on a much more regular basis that Idra does in other tournaments. For the record, Sase's done almost nothing this year, the most he's done is get into the top 20 of Code A. and top 3 at the ipl uk qual. Naniwa and Idra are borderline even on achievements, Naniwa just gets a shit ton of hype because his past not even month of performances. In terms of overall achievement i'd still put Idra over all of them if you consider everything he's done this year. | ||
