Virtually anything other than a-moving probes while resting your chin on your keyboard arm (and even a-moving probes might have some value in countering 6pool or something, although I'm just extrapolating BW ideas here) has some winning chances. Since they have winning chances, it's impossible to judge the person's intention just by how he moves his units. I might go 1 base carrier with the sole purpose of trying to kill my opponent, but then I happen to lose and get blamed for throwing a game. But beforehand it's impossible to tell the difference. What business is it of anyone's what build or strategy I use? Really? He cares a great deal about winning - in a sense, that's all he cares about. That's why it's an intolerable situation to be placed in a match where winning won't get you anything. At least in WCGs, if you had oversized groups like that, the games weren't broadcast anyway so nobody cared if you didn't put your best effort into games after you realized you couldn't possibly get out of the group. | ||

Idra said it best, to simply not play meaningless games. Would that not solve the problem completely, without punishing Naniwa to make an example? | ||

Random AND meaningless, in fact. Quantic unashamedly apologized for the whole incident and made no indication of anger towards Gom at all. We'll see from MLG. The fact they're looking into it suggests they're not sure what's going on yet. The chances of legal action being taken over this is zero, though. MLG aren't going to take legal action against one of their best partners over their decision to punish a player for behaviour in their tournament. | ||

The end of the season for the MLB is a time when as many of 22 teams are playing with no chance of winning, or even affecting their final placement of the season. Teams like the Astros, Twins, Mariners and Orioles last year had more than a month's worth of games to play where absolutely nothing they did would mean anything (unless, of course, you count the Orioles playing the part of trollface to the Red Sox). But even though these teams were statistically eliminated from any shot of a playoff spot, they kept playing. Why? Because that's their job. Because if you don't show up and put in everything you've got, you're going to get called out on it. ++++1 And as a avid TOronto Raptors fan, this is shown to me every season (yea, the Raptors suck), we're always mathematically eliminated from the playoffs and our last game always end up being meaningless but the players are professionals, they're paid to compete, they're driven by the desire to win and they always play their heart out for the fans and end the season out on a good note. Naniwa's action is understandable on a microscopic perspective (it was meaningless) but in a macro perspective, looking at it as whoel, it's not justified in any perspective you look at it unless you want to count in selfish reasons...It has given Quantic Gaming a possible bad rep although they dealt with it in a beautiful classy way, it has created absolutely unnecessary drama amongst GOMTV, teamliquid forum members and the players,and caused disorder and a negative taste in what is regarded as the tournament of champions. He simply didn't think. And his formal apology although it doesnt sound like he came up with it himself....exemplifies this fact. | ||

Im not disgusted when competitors choose to leave a walk over when the match it self has no meaning. Though that isnt what this all is about to me. Its about that it looks like someone is being punished for rules that isnt written and that if what they are saying in there statement is true then they just look like they are completly oblivious to whats happening outside Korea as everyone else was convinced Naniwa had a code S seed. If they noticed that and it wasnt true they should have realesed something dementing it. This whole debacle just makes them look unproffesional in my eyes. I mean if rules and regulations arent written why should we expect anyone to follow them. Also if they enforce unwritten "rules" or change their minds when it fits them they dont seem ethical to me. | ||

Time to get your fighting spirit back in the qualifiers, Naniwa! | ||

Firstly, the Protoss player this article concerns is banned from ESL and now, later, is removed from GSL (already being infamous in War3), and on top of that his teams can't cope with him so he keeps moving from team to team. Also, according to the Protoss player himself (if it is true I do not know), TEAMLIQUID's own player wont let him stay in his own teamhouse in Stockholm, Sweden. What does all this boil down to? I doubt this is a question if immaturity, the player have some serious issues, but should it be discussed this openly? I just do not know how this should be dealt with... | ||

Naniwa on the other hand was playing a show match that had nothing to do with GSL. I doubt a korean would get the same punishment, and if they did there'd probably be just as much uproar from fans. They're treating it like he dropped a RO16 match in code s when it's nothing close to it. You're saying a knee jerk reaction to a harmless match that ultimately involved them making up a new, non-existent rule to give him one of the worst possible punishments, is not a fuck up? Nevermind the punishment, but the fact they're willing to manipulate everything just to exact their emotional revenge. They're equally guilty if not more of being unprofessional. | ||
