That is probably because factually they are 100% correct.


Having a "pointless" game in the tournament is not "good" but is not part of the issue. Naniwas unprofessional behaviour is.


And Naniwa takes 100% of the heat and GOMtv none. Naniwa is the villain who should apologize and have his balls clipped. All this did is further empower GOM as a league above all of SC2 esports, intentional or not, and fans/players are willing to sit back and take it.



GOM IS NOT AT FAULT.

Bitch all you want, but GOM IS NOT AT FAULT.

Thats why Naniwa/Quantic made an excuse and GOM is only writing an explanation.

GOM IS NOT AT FAULT.


Also: The punishment isn't really "hard".. A Korean probably would get a livetime ban for doing something like this...

cute way to garner back the sympathies of the community. i really dont see the point in that match and in no other pro sport exist games like that. tennis tournaments once u lost youre out. football cups let b teams play if they wont be able to advance or have allready advanced. fed cup games just end if the winner is decided. this game more than naniwas actions had nothing to do with a "professional" sport.

Very confusing that you "changed" how code S seeds from MLG worked without telling anyone, especially MLG and every single news site which reported that he won a code S spot for january. Seems a little fishy.


This, pretty much.

Let's just change the seeding and not tell ppl ahead of time regarding the purpose or intent, EVEN WHEN MLG states otherwise....... yeah, dude!!

No rules broken, but you broke my definition of a progamer, therefore you get punished.

Okay?

Completely agree with these points, in particular GOM should apologise to Naniwa for slandering him live.

They did NOT, it was a mistranslation, inform yourself please.

LOL can you honestly sit here and say or think that KeSPA would not do something like this? Can you really man? Are you trying to make a joke?

Also how in the world can you suddenly just hate GomTV and wish them to bite the dust over an incident like this which clearly goes against their cultures morales and code of conduct in competition such as this. Perhaps the punishment is really harsh but how can you just wish for such terrible things when they have done so well for the starcraft 2 community for so long.

Im sorry, but I do like the stance gomtv has taken to this and am very disappointed. The thing you have to understand is that you have taken away Naniwa's code s spot. He was going to be in code s --> incidenent happens ----> No seed. For me at least, its gomtv who looks the worst out this occasion. You have to clearer what the rules are and , as has been discussed in other threads, not have these vague rules which gomtv seems to have used against naniwa. Be clear with your rules. Very disappointed and In my opinion, there is a large part of blame for having pointless games in the first place. You seem to purely have reacted according to Korean netizen reactions and not having clear rules, just making them up as you feel fitting.

Sorry Gom, but this is my opinion and don't feel like supporting gomtv right now. Thanks


Did you not read the fucking post?

They specifically said he never had a guarenteed Code S spot.


You know as well as I do that if this incident had not occurred, he was guaranteed a spot in code s. In my eyes gomtv is taking what he has been told is a code s spot away just due to an unwritten rule.
No, Your Quote.

Sorry but there is no way i will ever support GOM in the future. I for one will vote with my wallet and not buy anymore tickets and I will tell all my friends to avoid it as well


This is wrong, the post was mistranslated about him being a money hunter. And if you will read the post you will see the part about them changing the way code s works for 2012. Now.... Calm down

1) they didn't slander him live, at least do your due diligence in research and learn that they didn't say anything slanderous about him, They said he acted unprofessionally at best and that he was acting as a young man rather than a professional. The original translation has already been rectified by CryingPoo as being incorrect.

2) They probably did take their popularity into account, but they could've picked other 'popular' figures too, they specifically chose people who have had success in recent tournaments, namely Idra at IEM Ghangzhou, and at Orlando, and Sen coming in at 3rd at the blizzcon invitational, AND both of them previously had qualified for GSL tournaments in the past. I fail to see how their reasoning which isn't clearly stated as a hard point system we can argue is anything but that, an invitational system that THEY choose from.

3) They never lied about this, they said they were considering giving it to him because in their 'list' of players to invite he was #1 based on results recently, but because of these turn of events it got bumped down. Again, it seems you're spouting off in response to the original wrong reports about 'banning' and 'amateur bounty hunter' that never was actually stated by anyone at Gom.

So please, don't try to screw up these 2 professional responses by both Gom and Naniwa/QxG by filling it with further misinformation that is ALREADY cleared up.
I now have autographs of both BoxeR and NaDa. I can die happy. Lim Yo Hwan and Lee Yun Yeol FIGHTING forever!

What a horrible posts you didnt even read the announcement and tons of wrong stupid information, you just took the opportunity to bash GOM. Dont worry they'll have much support from non KR fans coz they're awesome to us.

Get out.

2. please tell me better suited players based on results which are
(a) not Koreans
(b) not already in the GSL

3. who claimed they punished him? Naniwa said he'll stay away from the GSL for a season to show his regret. It's similar to the Coca case.

Good statements!

And Im happy that it's IdrA and SEn getting the spots, since they actually qualified for GSL before. They did that through actual qualifiers in Korea before that are SOOOO much harder than by "impressive " results in an MLG poleposition spot vs opponents fighting their way through the Open Bracket in MLG.

I think the next GSL season will be kickass. Buy the tickets!

Your punishment to Naniwa was perfectly just, it was the thing he wanted most (code S seed) but he wasn't willing to put himself on the line after all that smacktalk with Nestea. Purposely losing a match is always frowned upon and it's strange the community doesn't understand the gravity of such actions. Hopefully Naniwa uses his second chance wisely.

How about you punish your staff first for creating a pitiful, retarded tournament format that allows for meaningless games to take place... it's clearly you people did not perform to the best of your abilities, according the standards you use to judge other people's performances. This is tyranny I say.

Well Naniwa is so good, at least he's not banned so we will probably see him compete in the Code A qualifiers I presume.
