If anything that GOM statement sounds even more like a canned answer than Quantic's repsonse. It's the end of the year tournament and people wanted to see everyone play each other, so it was a round robin tournament. GOM is supposed to apologize that they made a format to give the fans what they wanted? | ||

He's made it clear time and time again that he only cares about winning, why should that suddenly change when the community shits on him for giving up a match that he knew the community wanted to see. I can't see how you could argue one being oblivious to this fact, given the nature of crowd reactions at MLG to his matches against Nestea and the atmosphere of an invitational, (which is the most ideal fan-catered tournament). I hope he makes better decisions in the future, but I'm not banking on it. Not a fan. | ||

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. It's not a cultural gap. It's pretty universal. All games in the GSL are meaningful. It wasn't a meaningless game. There's a reason why before every single GSL game they put the Win-Loss record of the player in the GSL on the screen. Every game matters. You're judged by your record. Naniwa is what, 0-7 in the GSL now? You can't tell me that there's no difference between a player who is 10-20 in GSL games and one who is 15-5 (random numbers). Your record matters. It's your measure as a professional player. Why do people keep acting like this game was meaningless? It wasn't a ladder game and it wasn't meaningless. It was a live studio game, there were a half dozen casters in two languages, a live audience, 100,000+ people in twelve different time zones, and he threw the game. Are you kidding me? | ||

i'm very glad people defending naniwa and shit-talking gom are the minority he will have more chances in the future at gsl. good luck to all note: i'm not 100% on the format but i assume its a single elimination pool play, similar to world cup. there's no problem with this format. it can leave "meaningless" games but it can also build up pressure depending on the win/loss distribution. in the end, players play representing their team, sponsor, country and do your best out of respect regardless of the circumstances. doing other wise is what caused this drama in the first place. | ||

MLG happened to be in a partnership agreement with GOM, and because you don't legally unilaterally change the terms of an agreement without prior consultation and consent either something improper happened in regards to seeds or this was agreed upon much later and not communicated in full to the community.

Nice to see the hate train hasn't brought you down. | ||

I don't know how much of that statement was forced by Quantic for Naniwa to say, and I do believe both Quantic and Naniwa are bending over backwards and shouldn't have to go THIS far, but they definitely made the SMART decision. This should quell any problems in the future, and if not, well I don't understand why not. | ||

Had he used a strategy he had worked on for weeks in that match... that strategy would be lost. All for a game that matters nothing, yes it matters not one single bit. You do not gain anything from winning that game since you cannot use your original strategy because that would be a waste. | ||
