Naniwa is lucky to have a team like Quantic Gaming supporting him. Hopefully he can get his act together so he doesn't have to go somewhere else. QxG professional as always, becoming more and more of a fan of them.

Meaningless statements from both sides. Everyone knows whats going on on both sides and those statements are just a formal curtain. Of course Naniwa didn't grow up in last 24 hours, also its clear that reasoning behind revoking Naniwa's code S spot is pro-korean, GSL as the global league shouldn't use korean definition of the word "pro-gamer" they should look globally and consider opinion of whole world, not only koreans. Still we don't know what the hell is going on between GSL and MLG and I feel bad for MLG for being deceived by GSL and their excuses that 2012 is the different thing suddenly.
I'm glad that GOM realized that the blizzcup format has flaws in it, but taking actions in Naniwa's case after submitting that it was their fault in some degree is kinda strange and unreasonable.

Good luck too Naniwa. I hope you will crush some faces soon enough, too bad it probably won't be in GSL.

Not anymore GSL fan.

This increases my respect for naniwa. The only people who should be upset, if anyone, are his sponsors. They depend upon him playing games, even if said games are showmatches/meaningless. No one else does, especially not fans.

I have lost a massive amount of respect for gomtv from this. They have punished him because of their emotions and cultural nonsense, not because he actually broke any rules. If anyone is unprofessional, it is gomtv, not naniwa. Naniwa played by the book, gomtv didn't.


majority of sc2 community sees what naniwa did as wrong. he didnt break any rules but he dissed a lot of people.
and people are glad a jerk/dick/ass/etc. was punished where usually they're let go freely since they didnt break any rules.

you can say a person's moral value has no place in sports/esports/competition but surely, you must understand why people like boxer and whitera are respected by many.

Different people have different morals. If this game is ever to be truly global people need to realize that and not harshly punish each other for different customs and ideas on morality. I bet everyone in Korea would be equally upset if a western league imposed a harsh penalty on a Korean over a cultural custom that Koreans did not share.
If this is such an issue there needs to be some sort of global set of rules and standards including morality that can be put in the open for everyone to follow. Otherwise it is simply unfair to the fans, the players, and the tournament holders.

Good statement. Hopefully gom will now apologies for their bad format that has led to a number of poor quality games. Gomtv needs to learn from their mistakes too.

Really nice statement from Naniwa and Quantic, hopefully he learns from this. Plenty of time left to achieve lots of things, hope it doesn't hold back his future development. A shame we won't see Nani in next GSL season, he's been getting so damn good lately.

I can't quite believe Naniwa means what he said in the statement. And I actually hope he doesn't.

Well that is straight up wrong.

Requiring "GG"? That's game behavior.

Requiring a "love of the game"? That's game behavior. That isn't professional behavior.

Requiring fake effort? That is game behavior, not professional sport behavior.

GomTV is keeping SC2 as a little kiddie game.

It's not about changing, it's about learning.

in my personal opinion, i agree with gomtv as i value attitude over skill. he indirectly dissed everyone that has respect for esports, a mistake but thats no excuse.

in my neutral opinion, it would have been better for gom to contact the team and talk about what happened and make it clear such behavior isn't acceptable and move on with just a slap on the wrist, it was a emotional mistake after all. (punishment would have been harsher for a korean since most koreans have this professionalism mindset that players like boxer have. and dishonor is not taken lightly which i'm sure many understand by now)

with gomtv's explanation, they said naniwa was being considered for code s spot, not given. what he was given was for blizzard cup. maybe it was lost in translation or misunderstanding between mlg/gom since there is no gsl in december and starting 2012, its a new format.

maybe they're saying what they want for their own hidden motive of wanting to remove naniwa but whatever the case, it only speculation, conspiracy theory if you will.

I love how this thread is Naniwa APOLOGIZING for having done something HE CLEARLY CONSIDERS WAS BAD, and there are still «fans» saying he was right and was not at fault.

Than you do not care about professional sports. It's as simple as that. Go watch an amateur game then, where there is nothing on the line.
