Competitive spirit ... right, like we don't see players going for carriers and battlecruisers in matches that don't matter.

Gomtv gave the code S seed to someone else, Naniwa apologized, and he is now clear to participate in GSL after the next one.

Should people say this about things like SOPA if it passes too? Shit happens its unfair and unprofessional but it happened so its ok.


Are you really comparing naniwa not being considered for a possible code S spot anymore to SOPA? Really?

No I am comparing the idea of accepting things you dislike and shutting up about it. Its about not accepting injustice be it small or large.

What kind of tournament doesn't allow players to forfeit if they so please?
We see walkovers and forfeits in every tournament... Even no-call-no-shows.
GOM should have allowed NaNiwa to forfeit in the first place.
As for all of the events that happened afterwards... There's not much new I can add.


forfeit is bad for any tournament... mlg has tons of walkovers in open bracket but theres way too many competitors and the fact that they are concentrated in the earlier open bracket which is not aired they seem lax about it, on the other hand when nasl has walkovers and dropouts in their season long tournament it hurts their schedule and content since they are all planned to be air, and so they penalize players by keeping their deposits.

Naniwa was never banned from gsl, just revoked consideration for code S seed.
Technically he can play in next seasons Gsl qualifiers / code A if he wishes but I believe he denied that himself out of atonement.

At least that can provide some form of entertainment, and there is always a slim chance that carriers and BC's en-mass can actually win. It's the mentality of "Well there's nothing in this for me, so let's do something crazy and off-the-wall" they're still providing a form of entertainment, though I accept a lot of people do find this disappointing too.

What Naniwa did was essentially a "Fuck you *middle finger*", whether that was his intention to send that message or not I do not know but, but there's no denying it was an incredibly foolish immature act which he did without contemplating the ramifications.

He could've at the very least proxy two gate/4 gate all-in every game. Would that have been in competitive spirit? No, but there a big difference between that and what he did.

GOMTV is a fucking joke. Its racism all over the place. Its like the Korean players are their little kids that would never drink, never do drugs and never have sex. But all the other peoples children are fucking idiots who drink, fight and do drugs. (foreigners)

Korean players do this as often as foreigne players do. They are just more sneaky about it and hide it.

Where have we as a eSports community gone when this becomes a huge shitstorm of hate over 2 days and after we get the formal statements from both sides and an apology from Naniwa we instantly drop it, without any questions? This community and eSport in general is far from what an actual sport and community should be like. ¨

Thats my 2 cents.

Racism, you're really pulling the racism card on GOM? Of all the back-water insults, you're using RACISM?

Please, I know you're getting so riled up because of your nationalism but at least be reasonable about it

Lol @ GOM and their Korean hypocrisy

Licensed Korean "PROGAMERS" in Broodwar have been throwing matches in WCG group stages to avoid other Koreans in eilmination brackets before top 4 which is OK according to them

Marineking can hold his Dokdo sign to offend GSL Japanese viewers in GSLWC and still get away with it.

But, it is not ok if a player throws a game in a match that doesn't matter.

GOM is like Kespa 2.0, but at least Kespa follow their rules and stick with them (the stupid "gg" and "ppp" rules) whilst GOM just pull rules out of their ass( such as changing GSL formats once a month to get rid off 20 Terrans in Code S and the "abusive behavior" rule)

Im confused they run the league so they decide the format. Also comparing gom to kespa is kind of rediculous. I was kind of on the fence on who I thought was right until the op mentioned that this could drive players to do this more; by setting the precedent that it was ok.

The whole probe rush affair was alot more entertaining that a half-assed 4 gate would've been though

really, if the player earned a spot in a tournament and decides to not play his best, that is his decision and his fate. that player will lose fans, sponsors, whatever. I don't think there is any rule that says that you have to try your best. People play their best in tournaments because of Money. If the player doesn't want to do their best, then they lose money. It's very simple.
Unless there is conspiracy or collusion going on with Mafia gangs and sports betting, then there is a reason why you should ban a player (I.E savior)

It's ashame what happened at the Blizzard Cup, but I don't think Naniwa should lose his Code S spot. The more appropriate response would have been a reprimand or a warning. Maybe adding an addendum to the GSL contract that says that any player that purposely throws a game will be revoked of the GSL Code S spot. However, since what GOM is doing is Ex Post Facto, which means After the FACT.. That there is NO Rule in the contract or game that says that Probe Rushing is a violation of policy of the GSL Blizzard CUP.. Naniwa would probably win the lawsuit given the chance. but really the cost to sue GOM would be prohibitive, since paying lawyers would outweigh the the compensation you get if Naniwa retained the Code S spot

anyway.. it should be the common move, if organisation set up fun games - why not make fun of it.

i am thankful for not wasting my time with meaningless games. triple robo mass observer ftw! more entertaining than any 4gate.

If U don't know him, then keep support. but if U know him only inch by inch only a bit closer? then U will know why I'm saying this, and why Gom tv made this decision against to him. Only deserved!
