There isn't one online. There is a press release.

Let's assume Naniwa did not probe rush Nestea, he played a straight up game and lost. There is nothing to say GSL weren't going to, or couldn't have turned around and said "you aren't getting a code S spot."

If you don't see the problem with that, then there's nothing else I guess I can say that will help you realise what is so inherently and utterly wrong with that situation. It doesn't work like that. Reputation is something that's dear to GOM (or any other major business organizations). I don't doubt for a second that GOM has learned from this incident.
I'm gonna be honest and say I doubt it. GOM not giving out bans to CoCa while rescinding Nani's spot for either unilateral action without informing players involved or stretching rules for the sole purpose of punishing a specific action. If that's not a double standard I don't know what is. To pile on the issue, MC's antics and Keen's celebration are brushed off as players expressing themselves without disrespecting the other players, a rule on which Nani was punished (or not!)...yeah right.
I'll see GOM's action before I believe in their "professionalism".
PS: Rescinding a spot or prize (as is the case here) is a big deal, Nani earned the spot through spectacular playing abilities, and he had it taken away for a borderline discipline issue not stipulated in the rules. Unacceptable.

It seems that GOM didn't tell MLG specifically, but they did announce the change publicly. Making the winners bracket final means he's the highest placing non-Code S player and that means he's earned Code S, no matter what. So they announced the change after Naniwa earned it. Edit: The part where "it is within GSL's jurisdiction to adjust placement" is also the part of the agreement. I'm not claiming they're not legally allowed to do what they did. I'm claiming what they did is incredibly unethical. If you can't read the article because it is in Korean, then stop making assumptions. The article is about whether NaNiwa will be invited to GSL now that he is the highest non-code S player in Providence. It's not any kind of announcement. The announcement was a month ago. The announcement a month ago didn't say a damn thing about GOM unilaterally ending the MLG/GSL exhange program, which explicitly stated that during all the 2011 pro circuit events, the highest placing non-Code S player would be awarded a Code S seed. All it said was that their format for code S was changing, and that format included two foreign seeds. The so called agreement also states that 4 Koreans will be placed into Championsip Pool for all the 2011 pro circuit events. Where's your outrage at MLG for not keeping their exact word?
I already addressed this ridiculous point, but I'll do it again.
GOM doesn't care if 4 more Koreans get sent to the finals. It doesn't benefit them, it in fact hinders them by causing scheduling issues for players. Koreans being sent to MLG is the "What MLG wants" part of the deal. The "What GOM wants" part of the deal is getting foreign fan favorites seeded into Code S. Neither party represents actual players so they don't really give a shit who goes where, as long as viewer numbers increase.
Also, there is no championship pool at the finals. This was know from the start of the 2011 circuit.
4) He didn't earn it. What's the problem with saying that?
Because it's not true. The fact that GOM unilaterally decided they didn't feel like honoring the agreement that was made public doesn't mean they're not ethically bound to honor it. Naniwa, and everyone else, entered Providence with the knowledge that Code S seeding was part of the rewards offered. It was GOM's responsibility to publicize that this wasn't the case BEFORE the tournament, not make some statement in Korean once Naniwa was already in the finals.

You can't look at Code S seed in LxP as a prize given out by MLG. GOM is giving the seed to the player, not MLG.

That would be the press release version of it. An actual agreement would be 10 times longer.

But MLG is awarding the seed.
If I enter a qualifier tournament, that says if I earn top 3 I will enter a bigger tournament, I expect to be given entry to that bigger tournament. Regardless of who is actually running that bigger tournament. Either the qualifier, or the bigger tournament needs to be held accountable.

3) Naniwa didn't earn Code S spot. Either GOM is lying about it, in which case you can't make case 2) or GOM is telling the truth, in which case Naniwa didn't earn Code S spot. We also don't know what GOM did since Providence. I don't know personally what conversation took place between NaNiwa and GOM but I'd imagine that GOM told NaNiwa that he was going to get Code S spot for the next season. And for NaNiwa, it would not have occured to him to ask if it was specifically because of MLG/GSL exchange.
Why would Naniwa have any reason to suspect MLG were wrong about the prize they say he won at their tournament? A player shows up to a tournament, performs well enough to get second place. Tournament organisation, along with casters etc, tells player he has won a prize. Is it weird that the player actually thinks he has won the prize?!

2) They then unilaterally reneged on that for Providence, without making any effort to communicate this to the involved parties, i.e. MLG and the Western esports scene.
3) They made a random comment about "we haven't decided" after Naniwa earned this prize, and then sat on it for almost a month, until Naniwa offended their sensibilities.

GOM's unofficial spokesperson?
Oh boy. MLG held up their end of the bargain. Providence has its unique format from the start of the season. It is impossible that GOM is not aware of the special format before or during negotiations.
The announcement on gomtv.net in October mentioned only Blizzard Cup and GSL format. Not a word on the official press release was about the source of the Code S players.
If such statement that specified the current "seeding" plan was published only in Korean, then it shows either gross negligence to contempt to both foreign players and spectators alike.

You're in a large room, with a divider between two different sections of it. You are here because you were told that there would be $5 dollars up for grabs for someone that attended. There is an announcement made that only one side of the divider gets to hear, stating that instead of $5 dollars you now receive a hat worth $5.
At the end of the day, someone from the side that didn't hear the announcement is chosen to be the lucky winner. He gets a $5 hat. He's confused.
It's not wrong that this hat was now the prize, but not informing everyone involved that the hat was the prize is disrespectful.

GOM fucked up big time and without a huge apology to nani and the foreign community I dont think theyll ever regain whatever respect they had before. Also, they should ban some of the korean pros, especially Choya for their twitter comments if they really mean it with their "players need to behave professionally" argument. I mean he called nani "bastard" on his twitter, if that isnt worse than 6 probe rushing I dont know what is. Right now its all too clear that all GOM cares about is their profits and nothing else.

I think it's wrong that the hat was made the prize after people got in the room. Because, really, no one said anything about the hat until November 21st, and even then what they said was that they're still deciding between the five bucks and the hat.

Really???
Do you have a link to this tweet, or can you quote it?
Because that's really interesting... And finally explains the misunderstanding!
It turns this into a "he said"-"she said" argument (and will probably result in people taking sides), but still... It could wrap it up at least.
edit: eagerly awaiting the tweet. (and going through the thread incase it was already posted) It really will make sense to me why GOM didn't talk to MLG about the seed from providence if they thought it wasn't included in the League Exchange Program all along.
double-edit: Actually, wtf am I thinking... GOM have said they changed the seed to be for the Blizzard Cup, not GSL, so they obviously had planned for the League Exchange Program to include providence.
I dunno, screw this whole situation, I'm assuming it will never go resolved.
My confidence on the level of e-sports professionalism even on the highest tier has dropped tenfold. Mr Chae, Sundance, they really are just kids playing in a big sand lot at the end of the day.

I agree with Naniwa getting some kind of punishment, but the fact that MLG was not notified about it beforehand is pretty bad.
|
I really dont get why GOM just dont see how it would benefit them to make a statement and apologize to MLG and to the players attending MLG providence. They dont even have to mention Naniwa. Quantic gaming and Naniwa knew what had to be done and came out with an apology when they had offended ppl. Im pretty sure Naniwa doesnt think what he did was truly wrong but he realises he offended ppl and thus did the professional thing. Now GOM has offended lots of ppl and they fail to live up to professional standards.

Quantic gaming and Naniwa knew what had to be done and came out with an apology when they had offended ppl. Im pretty sure Naniwa doesnt think what he did was truly wrong but he realises he offended ppl and thus did the professional thing. Now GOM has offended lots of ppl and they fail to live up to professional standards.
Well you should give GOM some time to evaluate the situation and come up with a statement, since it also took MLG several days to do so. But yeah, it's a communication error. The Information was there, but it wasn't presented well enough for everyone in the western scene to realise. So yeah, an apology would be nice.
