A fake game with the illusion of real competition is what the Koreans want.

But then they pretend its about fans/pride/honor.

Where was Nesteas honor when he purposefully gave MVP the win at Blizzcon finals? That game had a 25k difference in 1st and 2nd place. (Most likely split the difference...) Naniwas was literally meaningless.

Please do not make the naive assumption that skipping meaningless games detract from your pride and honor. That is what I am getting at.

Koreans need to get rid of that medieval mentality with all that bull shit "honor and pride". Its all fake. All of it.

Next season GOM is going to introduce interviews with the game loser I bet, and if you dip out on the interview you will be banned.

Are you sure they just randomly "invented" this rule? How do you know that it hasn't been in place since GOM's BW days?

It's more about that Kespa has the rules written down and don't keep making things up for everything, which this thread is about. If there had been rules which naniwa broke i dont think anyone would actually be on naniwas side of what he did.

It's kinda of weird to me, Noone pushed to the Nestea, " Hey drop the birthday Party, U practice for blizzcup there will be 4 matches". Naniwa had vacation and flew long distance even changing twice airplanes and even had interviews with TL/and Gom etc. And he changed team no matter what it was his want or Not. This is really Korean typical issue, when they get together, they can do Anything, pushing someone else Out, Because they just don't like it.

I saw all their twitters last night, it just was common letters, Korean must be very disppointed, but as a person/individual, I also regard that also just their own individual common dialogue, it just was happening. It's not easy to play 5-6 matches/ a day it was even evening. Naniwa just getting adjust himself new country, Do you think, he must hang out here new place? He just came here to new career, I don't think he just wants only money <- this must be only Gom's opinion. He just social awkward like you guys saying. maybe sick. Buy this is only he wants. Only he dumped up his 4th match, Code-S seed is revoked? This is total revenge from nestea and Dong-Hoon, Kang all the his team then. I thought he getting stick together each other well then. I don't know what was the reason of Couch Kang refused him to be there though. from my eyes they seem all every each one kool, but there must be something unwelcome naniwa inside there, and even though there are so many people surrounded there naniwa, there must be something making naniwa so lonely and cold.

I know's naniwas's problem. but you think, this will be the reason that he should be code-S seed revoked alternative making to Sen??

Grew up guys, open eyes, we cant make it because we got hurt, and he just dumped us up, unlike our hopening & expectation. Read that - 경기중에 과격한 행동으로 상대 게이머나 관중들에게 위협을 가할 때

I think, you guys prefer wants money, I don't find any aggresive or threaten from his action with the match with nestea game # 9 yesterday evening.

I think, you guys prefer want Respect & Fame than Naniwa.

I hope this can be assured for naniwa, as long as I know this is all his hope and aim to Korea.

GOM's running a business, they need to please their viewers, and they'll do whatever it takes. They can't afford to have the integrity to go against the wishes of the masses. Maybe in a few years their position will be strong enough to do such a thing, but it's way too early right now. In essence, yes, they're handing out punishment based on fan reactions, rather than the rules themselves, and since the fans are idiots with a herd-mentality, it comes out the way it does.

Still, insulting Naniwa by calling him a money-grubbing amateur was totally uncalled for. That, they did not need to do, and it looks way more unprofessional than what Naniwa himself did. Next thing you know Code S qualification is going to be based on a popularity contest, with the casters doing stand-up comedy during the breaks.

You are stupid if you think that a professional gamer, being required to be professional is considered arbitrary. One day when you get a job that means shit and puts you in the scrutiny of others perhaps you'll understand. Act like a kid and you'll be treated like a kid, especially when it's a job.

every sports in the world is exactly the same, and they all receives heavy punishment as well if you pull any stunts like that. I guess all sports are all fake honor and pride then right?

and seriously your accusation without proofs is not something a logical person would do. Where is your proof that Nestea purposely throw away the game? I'm not sure why I am even wasting my time responding to a conspiracist.

There is a rule. Basically, you are supposed to be professional.

And whats up with the people acting up for punishing a player that is willingly dropping a televised game, he is paid for to play in, in a very obvious way.

He does not want to play?
Well do some all-in cannon rush / Proxigate whatever (you might even end up winning ^^). No one would care, but prope rushng is just not acceptable... Or just start the game and then leave his PC...
