because providence is a national championship event? It is the only event which no koreans were invited by MLG as part of the MLG/GSL exchange program. now why would there be a code S spot given?

I don't see him lasting with that type of attitude and maybe that's why he switched teams again because of his attitude. Oh well maybe he will grow up one day. I support GOMTV 100 Percent on this!! Remember guys if it was a Korean player he would have been punished 100x worst.
2 wrongs dont make a right. I would still be very upset regardless of who it happend to. If the rules arent satisfactory then learn from that and change them till next time.

i would like to say. Firstly has GOM ever explaied why a seed was invited? Why was MoonGlade (sorry i don't know how to capitalise his name -.-) given a seed? Why was haypro given a seed (IIRC). If they had never done it, why did they announce that NaNi did not get a seed and will not since he was supposed to be given a seed to code S. The announcement is not referring to this announcement, but speaking on the korean stream and tweeting it.
Also, the same point as everyone else, why did everyone ,other than GOM, think that he was getting Code S?
Lastly If NaNi did not probe rush, would be 100% get the seed? If he would, i would still consider this a punishment which was not warrented for and am disappointed at GOMTV for their decision.

GOMTV say nothing new.
To make an example out of Naniwa, when many players in the past in GSL could of been 'banned' is PATHETIC by GOMTV.
GOMTV need to re-instate Naniwa's EARNT Code S place to have an credibility. If it doesn't it shows it has no consistency and is making scapegoat out of NAnaiwa which is even pathetic in itself.
I expected better from GOMTV, and I will not be buying anything until they can make some consistent decisions and clear outlines regarding player s and 'tanking' matches.
As for Naniwa/QxG 's apology, what did you expect ? Of course they HAVE TO play the GOMTV 'game' if they want to PARTICIPATE.
However, in reality, Naniwa is incharge of Naniwa, and players like this should be allowed to express their individuality rather than trying to aspire to some individual-less robot-like followers who bore you to tears.
As for those who think THEY know what is BEST for esports, please, have some respect for other people's views and stop trying to force yours on others. Others will make up their own minds just fine.

I would think that everybody thought he had a seed because it was an MLG event where people usually got seeds. However, as JoeSchmoe said, MLG providence didn't have korean invites, and I assume wasn't part of the "EXCHANGE" program.

Wait, GOM is trying to say that this latest incident was only part of the equation that gave Sen the spot over Naniwa? Let's see what both players accomplished:
Naniwa: -MLG Dallas = 1st Place -MLG Global Invitational = 1st Place -HomeStory Cup III = 2nd Place -TSL 3 = 2nd Place
Sen: -NASL Season 1 = 3rd Place -NASL Season 2 = 3rd Place -Blizzcon 2011 = 3rd Place -IPL4 Pacific Qualifiers = 3rd Place
I have nothing against Sen, but Naniwa had much more impressive results this past year. For GOM to say that this latest incident wasn't a major factor in their giving Sen the Code S spot... it's almost amusing.

Than what about NASL???? If it doesn't matter why should they even show up to play?
LOL if that's the case, seriously how much games could people just drop because it didn't matter?

There is NO other clearcut case of a player not making the slightest attempt to try and win a game. Some players have tried to win in a flashy or unorthodox way and ended up losing, but nothing anywhere near what Nani did.

Bravo, GOM. Very well put.

i agree. but certain behaviors will get you reactions such as this. i think naniwa brought this upon himself following his own way. sometimes, it isn't the best way. suicide bombers and crazy shooters are only displaying their frustration and/or following what they believe, but sometimes it just isn't allowed and it should be avoided at all cost.
imagine what will happen if idra BM's the korean casters or mr.chae or something sensitive during a live game. maybe he really wants to express what he thinks to the world in a direct way, but do so expecting a consequence.

It's fairly common at MLG events, Idra does not play consolation matches. (He did not at MLG Providence for example, after he lost on main stage and got knocked out of losers there was a match for I believe 7th place that he just did not play.)

Weren't all 4 of those players already seeded into Providence because of their performance in previous MLGs? I feel like MLG isn't being completely honest about this either...

Thank you GOMTV for clarifying
Respect and honour! 
Naniwa & GOMTV Fighting!

If you click on the link you'll find the following:
As the last Korean player standing in Orlando, MC has earned a League Exchange Invitation to Providence. Our four highest Korean finishers this year (three of whom were MLG Champions) will have their trips to the National Championships covered. Their bracket seeds will be based on the points they've earned in competitions this Season. Congratulations to MMA, MVP, Bomber, and MC on their accomplishments and we will see each of them in Providence fighting it out for the $50,000 first prize. Clearly stating they are a part of the exchange program, the same that SHOULD grant naniwa a Code S spot.
