NaNiwa-GOM Controversy General Thread - Page 2
| Forum Index > SC2 General |
We understand this is an issue that has led to a lot of opinions. Please remember above all to keep the discussion respectful and on topic. - This thread is specifically about NaNiwa and GOM and the controversy that occurred between them. It is not about IdrA and Sen in Code S, nor is it about any other players or tournaments. Pleas discuss that here. - This thread is not about the merits of the Blizzard Cup structure, or GOM's foreigner invite system. Please discuss that here. - Finally, this thread is not about Korean culture, Swedish culture, or any other ethnicity or group of people. Keep racism and cultural stereotypes out of this thread. Responsibility for keeping a thread constructive is primarily yours. Please keep that in mind. | ||

I say who cares, eSports drama always starts because of something stupid, and it blows up because people feel the need to speak their mind on an issue all the time. Just move on. | ||

Naniwa earned a spot in Code S yet now they claim he didn't? Even the official MLG website says he earned a code S spot. http://www.majorleaguegaming.com/news/naniwas-ascension/ "Naniwa [..] earned a seat in Code S." If there's one thing this entire debacle has shown me, it's that TLers love to jump to conclusions and go off of what they think they know. Continuously throughout the Naniwa incident, people's assumptions have been disproved as new information comes to light. How do you know GomTV is making things up? Maybe MLG made a mistake? In fact, if you were keeping up with the latest developments, MLG_Lee stated TODAY that MLG was investigating the matter. MLG has yet to release their statement on this issue so let's refrain from making up stuff that may not be true. | ||

When I looked at the recap of group b day one all they had was "9. Nestea > Naniwa: Yeah, whatever." Which doesn't help. At all. Thank you very much tree.hugger. | ||

So you are saying that the official GOM partner that handles out the foreign Code S spots made a mistake when they gave out the spot, which they publically announced two months ago, and GOM didn't notice until now? It's not even possible that something like that could happen. And even if it did happen, it is hardly the player who should take the fall for it. | ||

TL.net is very poorly designed site. You guys have no business criticizing the MLG site (although MLG is still worse). I don't how you manage to be completely inaccessible to casual fans over a period of years. E-Sports needs better. You may want to present any criticisms you have with correct grammar if you want them to be taken seriously. To avoid further fallacious discussion: I think Naniwa's decision to throw his game was immature and disrespectful. I think GOM's decision to revoke his seed for January was fair - I'm sure quite a few would have wanted a permanent ban, but I think their decision was best for all the parties involved. I hope this incident can be used positively so in future pro-gamers can remember that they need to remain professional and respectful at all times. | ||

Still unsure No he's not playing code S in January, he was in consideration for invite, but they took invitation away for that season. It means he's going to have to qualify through preliminaries like everyone else. TOugh road ahead. I hope Jinro fucking makes it through next January and that Boxer can get through up and down. | ||
