Nice statement. Revoking his Code S seed was too much, in my opinion.

It's only a month, he can and should wait. I don't understand where everyone gets this sense of entitlement from. You mess up, you accept your punishment, and you learn from it for next time.


Gom didn't man up & take the blame & you're not criticizing that.. They didn't even apologize to the fans for the horrible tournament format that allowed this to happen - Naniwa did man up & apologize. If you read his statement you can see he's genuinely confused about this situation.

Silly bias is silly..

You sir are as biased as him...


How?

because GOM didn't do anything wrong and have nothing to apologize for? don't like the format? don't accept the invitation and play in their tournament.


Naniwa had no obligation to do no more than a probe rush.. He did what he was there to do no more & no less. Naniwa technically did nothing wrong - anyone uncapable of seeing this need to watch SOTG & see liquid tyler spitting truth..
The summery of it being he didn't do what was right for anyone but he did fulfill his obligation to the tournament. And if Gom wants more than that they need to make rules to support that.

...and we've got one of those Tyler's minions over here, great. I love how he makes a looong point about the supposedly broken format, and says nothing about Naniwa's behavior. I guess he approves it, and that tells me a lot about his pro mentality.

1. Naniwa's behavior
2. Blizzard cup's supposedly flawed format

Which is the more deserving of frowning and reprehension? 1 or 2? I would like to hear your answer.

If your answer is 2, the format is to blame more than Naniwa, then this discussion is pointless, because clearly we've got insurmontable differences.

btw, if Naniwa truly means this apology, then I feel better. Let's see if he really does.

If Gom doesnt get relaxed and get their stick out of their asses after this, then it is the beginning of the end for foreign players to decide to spent their career in Korean....

WTF GOM, if oGsMC pulled this at NASL, they would laugh at it... drop the ''this is a great pro-attitude'' and let player behave unprofessional, let the community decide what is BM and what not... GOM DROPS NANI, I DROP GOM

Sooo many 1 post throwaway accounts crawling out of the woodwork to hate on him even after they issued an apology.
We make signature, then defense it.

Great apology. Can we all just get over this and forgive the poor guy now? He received a huge amount of backlash from a lot of people involved with SC2. On top of that, he lost his Code S spot, which he rightly deserved, and now people are still on his back.

I agree with what GomTV did, but I feel really bad for Naniwa.

it's not hard to write something you don't believe in urself. not saying he doesn't i mean he's trying to be a pro gamer and all. so he kind of has to do what the ppl want

Naniwa didn't cheese, he did something that he knew had a 0% of winning. When people cheese, they do it because they have a chance to win. Nani admitted he didn't try. If you don't like the punishment, fine, but don't pretend like what Nani did was a legitimate try. Just look at the VOD.

I never said that it was a legitiamate try and it really doesnt matter if he had a chance of winning. He played the game, he lost. Nothing special about it. People workerrushed before and they will do it in the future and no one will give a fck. All this drama is just because its Nani who did it.

Probably :D.

I dont care much in fact, Naniwa will have now his own shitstorm to walk in from quantic, but he earned it in a way. Im quite sure that Quantic contract has some sort of a statement saying "When you play for us you represent the team and have to behave accordingly".

I don't see a reciprocal apology, or even an acknowledgement of their flawed format, in that statement. If anything that GOM statement sounds even more like a canned answer than Quantic's repsonse.

It's really a cultural gap. Not even IdrA would dare to do what Naniwa has done, while IN Korea. IdrA spent years in Korea to understand Korean culture (perhaps respect, status quo... etc) and then to get some respects from the Koreans. Naniwa has yet to do that.

I think it's a cultural gap both ways. 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.


I don't think cultural gap should ever be used as an excuse for disrespectful behavior. There really is nothing disrespectful about GOM's decision on this matter. There are terms and conditions in a contract that's expected of every player participating in the tournament, and Naniwa violated it. It has every right to revoke the player of his opportunity to participate.

You yourself are a professional gamer, and you know how many hours you have to put into practicing in order to be prepared for a tournament. I understand if a player is shaken after a loss, or a series of losses, because it's something they really want to achieve. This still doesn't excuse Naniwa from discrediting Nestea's efforts by simply tossing the next game. If you've worked really hard for something in your life, you want the competition and you want to prove to yourself that you can best it. There's nothing more discouraging than an opponent who doesn't care. If the professional members of the e-sports community are playing only for the money, how can we ever expect e-sports to gain the same recognition as other sports?

Naniwa just co-casts with khaldor, he doesnt seem to be too mad

€: great statements, seems to be alright now. What bothers me more is that idra and sen get free code S spot for technically nothing (i dont say they are bad or they had bad results at all, especially sen deserves it. but what qualifies idra over stephano for expample?). It feels like a christmas present :/


Stephano doesnt want to partcipate in gsl. I would like to see him myself.
