All he wants to do is play his game, when he loses he wants to gtfo and prepare for the next competition. The world is what it is, ppl need their drama, acting, and fake games. I would have to agree with this... But in any case, i think it's for the best if we just get past this whole incident, the sooner the better. | ||

Also, Quantic is a professional team and I'm sure they've spoken to the GSL management about this. They aren't pulling him out of code A for no reason for a full season. They're obviously trying to create a solution where Nani repents with a nice holiday in January (god knows he has the cash ;p) and then gets seeded into the second code S in the season. Which would be the optimal solution in my opinion. | ||

I'm disapointed that Naniwa apologized though he should assume his acts proudly not surrendering to those silly pieces of shit. Sometimes, one has to be willing to yield. Conflicts only escalate further when both sides have excessive pride. Whether you perceive this statement to be sincere or insincere, it's better than risking a career just because of pride. | ||

And then he added "I should have 5 probe rushed him". Anyone who can appreciate his extremely dry humor and arrogance should turn to it right now, it's gold. For the others, it's probably better to just do sthg else. I'm dreaming of a Khaldor+Idra+Naniwa casting evening in Korea in the near future. This was after khaldor said "you couldnt even 7 probe rush him" -.- Why do people put stuff out of context | ||

I think if Sundance was in Mr. Chae's position, you'd see the league taking responsibility for the format and not punishing the player this harshly. Both parties have been disrespectful and acted inappropriately. One has apologized and taken responsibility and now the other ought to. But can you really say given other possible punishments that it's THAT severe? Yes players are human. Yes personally I would like a universal "all players are White-ra and Boxer and will play no matter how emotionally broken they are and give it 110%". But at the same time yes I realize that that isn't realistic. But there are other options than simply clearly throwing a game. I won't advocate "4 gate and pretend"; but straight GG-ing would be a better option than blatant disrespect. Gom should own up for the fact that the tournament structure was flawed. Regardless of that though I cannot and will not justify any argument that it's okay that he acted in that way "because there was no rule against it." I'm not pretending to put words in your mouth specifically and imply that you've made any sort of argument that it's "okay" that he did either. Yes errors were made on both sides. I don't think that's a cultural issue though. I don't think saying to a player, "hey don't be unprofessional" is a cultural phenomenon, at least I really hope it isn't, because it would absolutely depress me if that's what "Westerners" have devolved to. I think the only possible culture piece involved comes from Gom not apologizing. I can see a culture argument in that the organization has no flaw and players have a very distinct place and standard, and the organization can do no wrong. But if that's the argument that's being made about cultural differences it needs to be that. It needs to be Korea takes it's esports very very seriously and demands respect for it's organizations (which frankly should be something all esports organizations do for the sake of the legitimacy of esports and sc2), but in Korea as a player you will always be at the mercy of the ones in charge, because you are just a player, as opposed to more Western ideas where management can be flawed and in some cases more....lax in response to behavior because of it. | ||
