I need to walk away from this entire discussion since it's apparent that people who support Gom in this are moving on, and those who support Naniwa will continue to flame Gom. For every person claiming they are not subscribing to GOM, there is just as many people applauding gom and securing their subscriptions so really, making that point is silly and just being bitter. I hope we can move past all of this in the future, and my best wishes to Naniwa, re-earning his way into code S via the code A prelims, or impressing Gom enough to earn a code S seed in seasons 2-5. I'm out. | ||

He himself knew that he would have the spot, we all knew it. It was on Gomtv and MLG... If it was an invite or the MLG/GSL exchange, who care? The point is because of what he did during Blizzard Cup (NOT GSL, BLIZZARD CUP!) he just lost is spot. And, you can't punish someone for a rule that was not explicit and hope that the community will all be right with it. You warn him, and then you add a new rule, and it never happen again. Simple right? I will ask for a refund for my GSL ticket, and will harass their sponsors about it... until Naniwa is back in Code S, by a seed or is own way through Code A... I will not follow GSL and will mail their sponsors and blizzard each freaking day until Naniwa got what he went to Korea for. They have the right to do want they want since it's their tournament, but I have the right to be against such a harsh punishement. Have fun harassing their sponsors. Grow up. | ||

To simply say "fuck Gom, fuck Koreans, boycott!" is really short-sighted and detrimental to SC2 and E-Sports as a whole. Great statement. I don't hate Naniwa, but I definitely think he displayed very poor sportsmanship. His punishment is harsh, but quite justified. Even when they lying to there viewers and fans and are being caught in there lies wtf lol? | ||

Acording to there own rules. the new GSL format didn't specify a code S seed for somebody in the top 3 at MLG who wasn't already in Code S, it specified two code s seeds, nothing about MLG that's the thing about agreements, they can change. we have to wait for MLG to make a statement on this before we know for sure | ||

First of all, shouldn't the Code S situation with MLG have been clarified properly ages and ages ago to begin? Now they are coming out with the important information, now that people are understandably upset. How are they treating us foreign fans? We do not have access to any of the Korean sites where all that might have been written down. Or did this Code S seed business even exist anywhere except the minds of the people involved in the GSL before the Naniwa incident? Naturally there is reason to doubt that it did! Second, why wasn't Nestea punished for his abysmal games versus MVP then in the Code S finals at Blizzcon? Are you kidding me? How is that not a double standard? What about the incredibly bad games of Top who got 4-0d? Yeah they all "tried", so what? There was price money on the line and the GSL reputation. GOMTV literally admitted in the post that the negative perception of the incident influenced their choice not to give the invite to Naniwa. The way I see it, they have no backbone to stand up against the negative outlash and admit they messed up the tournament format and those games should not have been played. Instead Mr Chae made silly statements about "wanting to see the progamer Naniwa not Johan Lucchesi". He's a talented progamer in a foreign country, why the hell does he have to dance for the amusement of Koreans like a puppet? Sorry, but I do not accept that post at all. | ||

We hope that no one gets the wrong picture and believes that NaNiWa is being treated disadvantageously because he is a foreigner. On the contrary, if a Korean had been involved in a similar incident, it is possible that a much harsher reaction would have followed. It is also very likely that the player's team would have taken firm action before the GSL could have even reacted to it. I would strongly urge you to revise this statement. The way that it is worded leaves the perception that your organization is making a snide comment about the nature of Naniwa's foreigner representation vis-a-vis your stated examples of the Korean model. This vagueness can be chalked up to inadequacies in translation, but should be addressed. My emphasis added in the quote. | ||

It's amusing that they just pretend that tournament doesn't exist. NASL is a pretty mediocre tournament (thx to garbage management) I pretend like it doesn't exist as well and I'm sure a lot of people do too User was warned for this post | ||

Kicking him out of the tournament that they had given him a spot in through scemantics is a cheap cop out to please the Korean crowd. If an actual sports team in a world sport would've been banned from a tournament because they didn't play 'passionately' enough, there'd be a fucking uproar. Somehow now it's all cool, and GOM can change their tournament roster however they like. It wouldn't surprise me if the next champion is crowned without ro8 even being played as he was a clear crowd favourite and he played very 'passionately'. When was performance removed out of the pictures in sports? How can you go by anything but performance, when no rules were broken? | ||

GOM was about to explain it to us (as they said in this thread that you apparently didn't read). If you fail to read or refuse to believe them, it's your problem but that doesn't make your statement right. | ||
