Both parties have been disrespectful and acted inappropriately. One has apologized and taken responsibility and now the other ought to. I think it's really clear, as doa mentions, that the format was the way it was because it was, along with a big cash tournament, also supposed to be a showmatch for the fans. I'm sorry that Nani was out of contention, but it's not like they set it up to mercilessly make out of contention players play each other | ||

You even pretending GSL isn't taken seriously is ignorant at the very best. Beyond that, are you really suggesting that players need specific rules to conduct themselves appropriately and professionally? Really? And it's not up to tournaments to decide what is and isn't proper in the first place? I'm sorry if you don't feel that players should act professionally because "they're just people" or whatever argument you'd like to make, but it's past time that people understand that SC is something that's going to take itself seriously and have standards, and when you violate those standards it's bad for everyone in esports, and beyond that, no one person is above that just because they have some fans. Then those standards should be published in non-vague terms that are purposefully left open for arbitrary interpretation. | ||

Both parties have been disrespectful and acted inappropriately. One has apologized and taken responsibility and now the other ought to. I agree but there is one big difference. Naniwa is an idividual while GOMTV is a company that should ALWAYS act correctly and professionally. This is why it is extremely disappointing seeing such a reaction from GOMTV; they reacted like an emotional individual (exactly like Naniwa during that game) while they should be the ones setting the bar for quality and great example. On the top of that because they applied this rule this way, they created a double standard by not applying it in other cases prior to this one, which makes them loose credibility as an institution and as an eSPORTS medium. GOMTV should rethink their action and admit they over reacted. | ||

ITS A GAME WTF. thank go we are not like the koreans and take that whole gaming thing so seriously. I don't think you even know anything about pro-gaming or what's happening in the world in terms of e-Sports. He's getting paid to play this game, and his team spends a ton of money to send him to Korea and then GSL. People are paying to watch those games (VODS and HD) and saying "ITS A GAME WTF" is totally retarded. It's like saying a professional basketball player denying to play with his shirt off, cause its just a game right? Also saying "thank god we are not like koreans and take that whole gaming thing so seriously" is just your point of view. A ton of people in the West take this game very seriously. Do your reading please... | ||

Organize a bo5 or bo7 showmatch pitting Naniwa against Nestea. Put up a $1000 prize pool, have of the prize pool goes to the winner while the other half goes to the winner's choice of charity. This would give the fans the "rival match" that was "stolen" from them and it would be good PR. This would also help mend the relationship between Naniwa/Quantic and the e-sport community. | ||
