Just because he apologized doesnt mean its his fault only.

Naniwa and his team took the classy way out of this whole ordeal, and choose to do what was best for everyone in the community and the industry.

Gom just kespa'd naniwa and thats it.

I think both parties are at fault here, the difference is on how they handled the situation, and i personally, am not watching gsl anymore, as much as i love tastosis, im not supporting kespa v2, lets see how well they fare without foreigners in their tournament.

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.

LOL. They'll fare just as well as they have before, how many foreigners have been in Code S for the past few seasons? 1. HuK. Nani has gone a total of 0-10 in GSL and lost to Lucky, a mediocre Code A player a total of 4 games. They'll do just fine.

If you think Code S players "easily" beats the best Code A players or easily beats any Code A player for that matter then you should think again. There's not a big difference between the two. Players fall up and down between code S and code A all the time, the very best code S players have been code A and are likely to be code A again at some point. Take Leenck for example, he dropped out completely from code A in gsl may. Then able to return and make his way to code S. But in code S he lost to Genius and Rainbow then lost his up/down matches to Byun and then to LiveForever so he was back into code A. Now all of a sudden he wins code S. This is how to goes in starcraft 2 at the moment. There is no completely dominant player, everyone is very close in skill that includes code A players not only code S. We don't have a starcraft 2 Flash yet.

that is why starcraft 2 is taken as a game... because of post like this, to korea it is a sport.

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.)

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.

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..
