I will continue watching GSL and everyone throwing a hissy fit on how Gom is like Kespa, honestly you need to stop talking you clearly have no idea what you are talking about and you were probably not a part of the BW scene. Now here is what I have a problem with, Gomtv changing the way the Code S seeds worked magically, I read the announcement before and it was quite clear highest placed player in MLG gets a code S seed, This would be Naniwa that would be how he got his seed, now they are changing it which turns a good proffessional stand from gom into something shady that needs to be addressed. Like i said i still support gom and will continue to watch but this needs to be addressed. Once again Gom is nothing like KeSPA. | ||

GOM showing who the true joke trounament is. Because they have many more matches to play in GSL; this tournament is an invitational that consisted of 8 players showcasing the most skilled players in all of Starcraft 2 (arguably the most talented player pool ever gathered). It is both a tournament and a showcase of skill and entertainment. Obviously Naniwa missed that point, thus the incident. | ||

Personally, and I think I'm not the only one feeling this way. But one of the main ingredients for a good game, is to have it matter. A game that does not matter does not entertain me. Everybody knows that in a game that doesn't matter, the players wont give their 110%(if they say they do, I'd call it a lie), if the players don't play their absolute best, what's the point? It's not fun to watch a "fun game", its fun to watch serious matches. | ||

I'm still a little confused about whether he had already been awarded the Code S or whether it was "under consideration." If it had been awarded, then it is clearly a punishment and GomTV is lying. This would seem completely unnecessary, because obviously you can't have players deliberately throwing games because that would make match-fixing motive based rather than fact based. GomTV did mention this last point in their statement. So my remaining question: Had Code S been officially awarded to NaNiWa? Is there digital or hard proof of this fact? There has never been, as far as I know, a GOMTV announcement that Naniwa gets Code S. | ||

GOM showing who the true joke trounament is. Whether or not players did not have to play in GSL October is irrelevant. Watch the video. Do you see how disappointed and irritated Nestea looks? If you're a professional player, you shouldn't be playing just for the money, and even if you are, you need to recognize that there are other players that want to project their efforts. Nestea probably practiced tens, if not hundreds, of hours to prepare for BlizzCup. Naniwa was disrespecting Nestea and his efforts when he threw that game and showed no interest in competition at all. | ||

Not really creative MLG Announcement GSL Pro Players Competing on the MLG Pro Circuit MLG will invite four Korean pro players to each Pro Circuit Live Competition. | ||

Code S status will be awarded to the highest placing player, regardless of country of origin, who doesn't already have Code S status. MLG Providence was a 2011 Pro Circuit Live Competition. Pro Circuit Live Competitions grant Code S status. NOT invites to any particular tournament, be it Blizzard cup or anything else. I expect either GOM or MLG, preferrably the latter, to explain to me and many others of the same opinion what of the above is wrong. For me that concludes the discussion about GOM simply deciding to NOT OFFER naniwa code S, versus TAKING IT AWAY from him. On a side note, just an observation: Naniwa's code S status was announced by virtually EVERY party involved in starcraft 2 those previous weeks. Shouldn't GOM clarify that this is not true? I am sorry, but no matter how much I try to rationalize it driven by my love for starcraft, it still seems absolutely clear that the rules changed overnight. I will still, with great hope, anticipate a statement that sets things straight. | ||

Because in the MLG agreement, they also state that they'll send over 4 korean invites every tournament in 2011 as well but did not in providence, maybe this assumed then that no LXG was going to happen as a result of Providence. That's the way I interpret it. Why is it that people are picking apart an agreement of GSL side but ignoring that MLG didn't do their part for that tournament either, and thus voided the LXG participation across the board for this tournament? | ||

However there may come something good out of this for the Viewer. With the Treat of Punishment for not caring for all your Matches hopefully the Quality and Lenghts of the Games increase witch leads to GSL being even better thats what I pay for in the End. | ||
