The punishment in itself is still a bit harsh, but in all honesty punishments never reflect how much is "deserved", only what is "necessary". You don't necessarily deserve the death penalty for a terrible murder, but you might argue that it's necessary (I wouldn't however). And just see what happened! Naniwa, whether he truly believes in what he wrote or not, has at least learned that he has to accept how it has to be. I'd say that's a good thing for everyone involved.

naniwa acted immaturely, but can everyone just remember that hes only 21 years old? I know we've all done some pretty dumb shit we regretted before, so just accept his apology and move on.

Sigh at all those people who say that this format is flawed or bad... ALL FORMATS ARE FLAWED OR BAD in one way or another but the good stuff usually are more and better than their bad stuff.This is a format that is used in many tournaments across the world and in my (and many others) opinion is way better than double elimination or straight up elimination.Players get many chances with this and they dont just fall out to code A because they faced Mvp on the first round.

Naniwa apologised for his behaviour but because you do not agree with this you want GomTv to apologise as well cause you think it is their fault too..... Really? Seriously people need to grow up in this thread and view the real world where REAL SPORTS penalize people for shit like this.Big organisations would not apologise for things they have not done, just because immature people like you(yes you) ask for one.If we really want E-Sports to grow more than they are now we need to penalise bad behaviours from the start and not let them become standards.

Also i hope other pro's do not share Tyler's opinion, cause in my eyes is way immature and childish.Really not something any pro would say anywhere on a world in any professional sport.GROW UP.

Wow.
I'm really glad Quantic gaming takes this very seriously and gives out a apology like this.
If NaNiwa really means what he said, i'm very impressed by him.

Naniwa, you've regained my respect. I really thought you'd act immature and lash out at GOM, claiming that you did nothing wrong, but you've realized how you affected thousands of people and I believe you are truly sincere. I hope you are allowed to compete in GSL in the future-- I knew it's been your dream throughout SC2.



I wouldn't take this apology as his sincere thoughts on the matter. We've seen similar apologies from him for past indiscretions yet he keeps doing silly things.

The reality is that he doesn't seem to have the required mental composure to be a pro gamer. No doubt he has the skills, but you have to be able to be professional and make the right decisions in these awkward situations. Everyone makes mistakes every now and then, but he keeps getting himself in the spotlight due to poor decisions made on his part.

I'd comfortably say that some of the stuff people have been getting on his back over in the last few months have been pretty trivial, but the best way to quell all of the blind hate is for his to just act professionally, which he simply seems incapable of going at this point in time. The punishment has been handed to him, and regardless of whether he deserves it or not, he needs to use this break period to reflect and work on getting his act together.

Glad to see a statement/apology by both Quantic and Naniwa. Hopefully this can be a learning experience for all parties and that everything will just move on

For everyone who thinks the punishment is too hard think what would happen if a korean player did the same.

I hope it works out for Nani, but this is a lesson to be learned.
Nani allways has my support, he is a dedicated hard working professional that I do look upto.

That doesn't have anything to do with if the punishment is to hard or not.

Those rational in the community aren't even mad at you Naniwa. GOMTV are the ones who need to apologize for slapping you with a ridiculous penalty over something which was not only minor but not explicitly against any rule. They should be ashamed.

I'm looking forward to NaNiwa's growth as a player and as a human being. This is a huge step up.

Only 21 years old? When do you think people grow up? :p

Good apology by Naniwa and nice support from Quantic. I don't think GOM will hold a grudge (I think Cocoa will be back soon, too). They want to put on the best competitive show possible and they know people want to see Naniwa play.

I think GOM had to do at least this (revoke the current invite) to show they won't tolerate players undercutting the entertainment value of their show. But a lot of these guys are pretty young and they're going to make mistakes like this and everybody moving forward together is clearly the best way to go. I don't know if they'll offer him a Code S slot in the future, but Naniwa has the chops to either play his way in or earn an invite through MLG or one of the other foreign tournaments.

And imagine the size of the spectacle when he finally meets Nestea in the GSL again...

I would stand by that assertion.
