EPTNaniwa can't be expected to play his best and provide epic games after just being knocked out, but he can atleast be expected to have the common decendy to make SOMETHING out of it. Legitimate action by GOM.
Are GOMs arbitrary rules becoming a problem? - Page 7

I thought it was ridiculous as an American living in California. We're the furthest thing from an "honor-bound" society, and Naniwa's behavior was absurd. There's plenty of rules in sports, but most important rulings are made per basis. This was just that. I stayed up late expecting the Naniwa v Nestea rematch. I didn't know the format, but had someone told me beforehand, I would've actually been happy, since I was anticipating the game, no matter when/why. I actually thought Naniwa and Nestea would both be x-0 and they'd be playing for the bragging rights of who got to walk away with a perfect rec as well as the highly anticipated rematch. The result of the Nestea v Naniwa match was incredibly disappointing. If there hadn't been a slew of good rematches after that, I'd have gone and complained. | ||

Imagine a tennis tournament where a player just flat out refuses to play - I don't think that will go down too well. Actually, I just feel sorry for Naniwa because if he just did some half-arsed attempt (e.g. proxy 2-gate, 4-gate or cannon rushed), this backlash wouldn't have happened. You can blame his poor social skills and a lack of understanding on how the world works for this. A tennis player will actually be fined if it seems they weren't trying (see davydenko http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/tennis/atptour/2324252/Nikolay-Davydenko-fined-for-not-trying.html). However, you can forfeit due to injury, which is what naniwa should have done. | ||

The amount of wildcard spots being given away is very minimal still and most of them are actually deserved in some way like doing well at MLG or whatever. Foreigners have much more problems competing in GSL then koreans because they have to move there so they HAVE to give a incentive to let the players go there. I think GOM is doing a fantastic job with their management and not bending the rules at all. Rules have to be a little vague because there are so many unpredictable situations that makes it impossible to have a rule for everything beforehand.. | ||

How many players question MLG's rules? The only thing that comes to mind is when Catz was auto forfeited when he was 10 minutes late for his match. Maybe when they were thinking of having MLG jerseys.... open bracket is kind of grueling... It just seems silly. Obviously GOM has control issues. Let's see....White-ra being disqualified for being late to his match...Extended series format...Seeding for future tournaments (players who kept losing in group stages yet they still had enough points to make it to the group stages for the next tournament)...so yea, there were some controversies | ||

MLG is taking the 100% contrary approac to GOM. Players violating rules: They seem to basically don't rule at all and don't act at all, even when there are actual rules in place, except when you are late. See ingame chat-swearing, the whole seeding mess and other problems... .... That’s a very "save" way to handle things which won't hurt the tournament (and if something is so outrageous so it would hurt the tournament they could just use the rule), but also doesn't improve the players behavior and their professionalism... It's just way "easyer" to do it like that. I mean, the missing players from the placement matches in the end? Why is there no punishment for that? Because it's easier to not punish stuff like this. Seeindg/MLG-System problems: "wait for next season". Thats also an easy appraoch  .MLG mainly is/was interest into running their show, i wouldn't blame em for that but it's clearly also the "easy" way which won't change how things run and players behave. | ||

Players needs some security and know that they can rely on what will happen to them, you can't have the organizers just kick people out based on popularity. Or get them in, as the Idra invite shows. | ||

This creates an opportunity for the league to apply double-standard as well. Mind you all who favours the Nani unseeding, Coca did not receive any bans for his premeditated match-fixing.

It's in the rules from the beginning of the GSL and naniwa is supposed to know the rules, there is no point to qq. Read the ruling please. He was punished by "abusive behaviour". | ||

First that had no seeding arrangement according to Mr. Chae so it is outside of GOM's jurisdiction. Second Slayers already punished him and if they didn't, most likely Gom would have too considering how tough they were on Choya and Rain. Second, Naniwa had no seed. Providence did not have a seed. | ||

There probably wasn't any rule about forcing people to try to play the game, new flash, most players actually want to play. Maybe GOM should write down every single rule to not be a fucking spoiled brat then people will stfu. | ||

Coca suffered worse from his team, who reacted right away, giving GOM no chance to react. That's how it should've been. Naniwa got off very lightly. His team obviously cares about money and the newly acquired contract more than competitive integrity. What should have happened is that he should've gotten kicked out of the ST house and banned from competing in any tournaments for a while. | ||

No, match-fixing should be punishable by commission of the competition rather than the teams. Simply because "he suffered worse from his team" doesn't mean a concurrent match ban should not be handed out.

Ehm, it was a direct qualification to Code A. Naniwa earned a Code S seed by placing in the top 3 and being the highest placing none code S player. As per their arrangement: http://www.gomtv.net/2011gslsponsors3/news/65291 At every 2011 Pro Circuit Live Competition after MLG Columbus, GSL placement will occur as follows: Code S status will be awarded to the highest placing player, regardless of country of origin, who doesn't already have Code S status. Providence was a Pro Circuit Live Competition and Naniwa was the highest placing none code-s player. This feels like Kespa all over again, getting rid of players on a whim, inviting and giving favours to others on a whim. | ||

From my understanding this ban is perfectly reasonable. Correct me if im wrong but its only a 1 month ban on just his S ticket. If a Korean did what Naniwa did then he would have had it x100 worse. | ||
