I respect the team, but have lost any respect to Naniwa or his cut & paste apology. Being an adult and a professional means being able to control yourself, which is something he has failed to show he is capable of time and time again. Also, i dislike the asking to reconsider for a second chance. He openly disrespected GOM during a tournament that was meant to celebrate a great year of StarCraft. 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.

By giving Naniwa a second chance Quantic means they hope that GOM will consider giving Naniwa a future Code S seed, not taking back their decision. If anything, Naniwa is punishing himself even harder than GOM did by skipping the first GSL of 2012.

This is a correct apology, but I still don't agree with Gomtv's punishement and their dubious rule.

We understand that GOMTV’s decision to revoke NaNiwa’s Code S spot for the next GSL season was not one that was made lightly. He has decided against participating in the coming GSL season as a statement of his sincere regret and in the hopes that he may have a future opportunity to compete in GSL against the world’s best.

I don't exactly understand this. So they revoked his Code S spot and he decided against participating in the next GSL Season? Does it mean that he will participate in neither Up/Down / Code A or are they saying that both NaNiwa and GOM decided against him playing in Code S next season?


I think it just means Nani will refrain from even trying to qualify for Code A.

When your own team doesn't condone your actions and makes formal apology is anyone still going to argue Naniwa is completely innocent?
I don't get why people are still making threads or posting in others and arguing that Naniwa didn't do anything wrong.
I truly hope Naniwa competes in prelims in the upcoming season instead of forfeiting completely and we can all put this behind us.


I think both Quantic and Naniwa understand that nothing good will come out of them arguing this further. GOMTV is to big and GSL to important to risk getting permbanned. They of course now that it was a childish thing of him to do so the best way to go is to just make an apologie and move on.

I think Quantic as well as the fans still belive though that GOMTV acted wrong and very rude and that they probably owe Naniwa an apologie of there own.

well dont apologize. idra ragequits and is badmannered too and no one says something.
GOMTV is being sillly with its descision. comon. ITS A GAME WTF. thank go we are not like the koreans and take that whole gaming thing so seriously.


Idra never bm'd in the GSL for a reason. Idra knows how to keep his composure when it counts, which is what seperates him from Naniwa.

And yes, it's a game. A game that Mr. Chae has put a HUGE amount of time and money into and one that a lot of people are, you know, MAKING THEIR LIVING off of. I'm pretty sure Naniwa takes "that whole gaming thing" pretty seriously himself.

This is quite unfortunate that Naniwa is being made to apologize. I don't think him or ANY player should have to dance around like a clown for the Korean notion of "honour" and other such sentiments. This is supposedly a "Global" league and supposedly a Blizzard Cup. It's an insult to my intelligence as a viewer to expect me to care about a meaningless match. The least they could have done was put some small money on the line then. If not - don't have such a ridiculous group stage.

There has to be some kind of legal security if these tournaments are ever suppose to be taken seriously. If you do an action, you must be able to forsee the consequences based on the ruleset.

In no way can you foresee that doing a probe rush in a 100% worthless game in a completely different tournament would all of a sudden get you banned from Code S which you've already been granted a slot in. You can't have tournament organizers decide on a whim who gets banned and who gets special treatment.

So while Naniwa did something poorly, GomTV has as well.
I can no longer rest under the tree of wisdom, since you have axed down the roots feeding it.

Theres a strong statement I can say, but it's definitely not growing up. More like having his personality carved out of him.

This is the first thing that came to mind. Or if he did write it, it was only after reading the same things over and over in threads and SOTG. It just didnt feel like it came from Naniwa in the slightest but I guess we'll see if he actually does start taking things more seriously as he takes part in more tournaments
