Raping a very serious crime and should _NEVER_ be used in terms of "he will loose".

At this point you're arguing that players should drop their roles as professional competitors and should pick up a role as an entertainer. No. Just like professional soccer players have to play meaningless soccer matches, professional sc2 players should have to play meaningless sc2 matches. If you want to argue that SC2 is NOT a professional sport, then that's fine. But what you are doing is arguing that what you think is professional behavior is more important than what MLG / GOMTV / other tournament organizers think is professional behavior and that it's fine to ignore their rules if you disagree with them. That's not professional. Read my post and understand why essentially you're asking people to become entertainers, and asking them to forgo general ideas of competition in order for more perceived entertainment inherently hurting competition overall. When there is no competition a game is just entertainment, which is fine, but when played in a competitive setting (with no real incentive to win, and no real competition then) all it leads to is catering to the audience and in turn does nothing but hurt real competition, because while it may look cool to the audience all it is, is fake competition aimed to please an audience, instead of real competition where things matter. It turns the whole idea of a real genuine competitive environment into something that is just meant for show to please... which isn't what competition is about at all. It's about the struggle of two people to overcome one another for a prize, not about trying to make a game look cool for the audience despite the fact that nothigns on the line, and it makes a mockery of real competition. We've read your post, and you choose to ignore our replies and merely spout the same stuff again. Please stop. Which is what may i ask, that the professional thing is just to fake it so the people watching are happy despite the fact... that it's not really competitive and means nothing? And once more the same stuff... Which doesn't answer the question, either you pay for GOM for one of two reasons, (i suppose a third if you want to combine them and just say you watch) you like the true competitive aspect of it, in which case you should be relatively annoyed that Naniwa is kicked out because the competition ended for naniwa before the nestea game started, or that you like the entertainment aspect of it, in which case you should be pissed almost any time a gsl final happens. Let me quote myself and others from the thread: "Players should play their hearts out!" For elaboration, search back in the thread (or any other thread). 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.

That's just awesome. Idra & Sen in the GSL. I'm so pumped !! They're two really deserving players so I'm glad they both got a spot. Good luck to both of them, I can't wait to see them play !
|
Go Sen he can compete easily with the top Koreans. But I don't see Idra doing well, Naniwa would have done much better.
|
So do we know who will take Idra spot in Up/Down matches?

GomTV is serious business. E-Sports has to grow. I think banning Naniwa and other players for non-professional behaviour is a good thing. I think everyone would have appreciated if Naniwa would have given his best and crushed Nestea or vica versa showing good sportsmenship.
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.

Booting out someone who worked hard to earn his code S spot because of a childish mistake and replacing him with someone who did nothing to earn it. Really nice logic there, GOMTV.

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.

Sen/Idra did the exact same thing as Naniwa. Place highly in a foreign tournamnet.
|
BTW, do we know whose spot Idra will take? Hope it's not sC having medical issues

Yeah you aren't biased at all. I'm sure naniwa who has never won a gsl game will do so much better than idra

Idra did litterally nothing, and is even more BM....

Naniwa beats Koreans on a much more regular basis that Idra does in other tournaments.

I think Idra won the code S spot because he was the highest placing foreigner in MLG Providence after Naniwa who was booted out and Haypro who refused the spot. Wasn't that the deal?

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?

Idra won IEM china, placed highly in multiple MLGs (same thing as Naniwa did to earn his spots).

Sase got 2nd in some chinese tournament a while back ?
IdrA won IEM Guangzhou

Am I the only one seeing the irony in punishing naniwa for bad manners anf giving Idra a spot?

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.
