Naniwa should rather be kicked out of battle.net then be invited to big tournaments.
Not only for his infamous Nestea game, but for his behaviour in German EPS and with MYM, too.

Nvm, guess he'll be beaten out of GSL soon enough... at least I am gonna root for every single player that he plays against, no matter who it is, as nani is the person with the biggest lack of sportsmanship-attitude in the industry, period.


The EPS thing happened.. like one and a half year ago? wow...

His nestea game wasn't even a game. It was pointless. He wouldn't even have gotten ladder points had he won. I don't understand why they put a game which is even less significant than a ladder game in a tournament.. And he still apologized for it, and then they invented a new retroactive rule on the spot with a completely arbitrary definition that kicked him out.



I don't think you understand the definition of the word arbitrary.


Care to elaborate?


It means to do something without reason. The definition of their 'new rule' (although it wasn't knew, it was a vague existing rule) was anything but arbitrary seen as they had the specific purpose of taking away Naniwa's Code S seed, and neither was that in itself arbitrary because he probe rushed. The probe rush was something that 40% of TL on the polls thought warranted the removal of his Code S so I would imagine it was even higher in Korea amongst the other teams and GOM.

Arbitrary would have been banning Nestea from Code S for it and seeding you or I into Code S next season.


I'll send you a PM instead. Going too far off topic.
I'm gonna look forward to some great games this season =)

I feel like given the seeding system they have, these might be the best choices. However, I think my problem with the system is a bit different than most people's.

I would definitely prefer something like last year where the code s slots are awarded to the winners of a specific tournament, rather than being just given out subjectively; however, I think that if they are going to be given out subjectively, they should not be given out to people who were in the tournament the previous season and dropped out. It feels a bit like a way to keep in favorite/popular players even though they might not have earned it.

So for me, it's not the Naniwa seed that's controversial, but instead it's the Polt seed, since he just dropped out. His results definitely deserve it, but I would prefer that Gom give him the chance to earn it back through code a qualifiers, rather than just popping him right back in.

If he doesn't make it, then seed him next season, but this season I think they should have seeded violet or puma instead of Polt.

I would pay a lot of money to see Stephano in GSL, even if the ticket price doubled i would still buy it. Too bad he doesn't want to play
Let a man play chess, and tell him that every pawn is his friend. Let him think both bishops holy. Let him remember happy days in the shadows of his castles. Let him love his queen. Watch him lose them all.

Interesting, I would have bet my life it'd be Polt and PuMa (as PuMa just got top 4 Assembly and 2nd IEM WC)

Polt AND Naniwa? Wow, I couldn't be happier!

Now we just need Nani to end up in a group with DRG, Nestea and Leenock for hilarity's sake.
