If you remember not too long ago he posted pics of a WCS challenger player betting against himself, calling him out. That is a completely different situation. I can't believe how ignorant some people are. Betting against yourself = bad (matchfixing) Taking money to lose = bad (matchfixing) Offering someone else money to lose = bad (matchfixing) Offering someone else money to win = good (gambling / motivation trigger) Betting for yourself = good (gambling / motivation trigger) It isn't that hard people..... edit for some clearer perspectives. | ||

Besides, does it even matter? These are professional competitors we're talking about. Trying their best is what they should be doing already. The problem is with WCS if they aren't. | ||

Because people can legitimately dislike having players paying bounties for other players, when that should be the tournament's job. I think people would be upset if the situation was reversed and Revival said this just as much. | ||

This is a single player paying a single bounty against one single other player. This is Naniwa putting out a tweet to bring attention to a problem in WCS, while also grabbing a spotlight for himself. Generalizing this as some kind of over-arching issue of players paying bounties just confuses what's actually happening, and TBH, if you have to formulate an opinion and take a side on some metaphorical fence, and make this an "issue," you are either ridiculously short sighted, or are just biased. Neither description is positive. | ||

Neither description is positive. I completely agree. Naniwa's tweet was completely meaningless, and nobody should have any opinion regarding it at all. Those who do are obviously short sighted and/or biased. Thank you for educating the ignorant masses, I sincerely appreciate it. | ||

How is it unfair to Naniwa? Were his opponents motivated to beat him in challenger season 3? LOL | ||

It's kind of obivous from most of them. I'm a huge Naniwa fan and I can at the very least admit that this is a huge grey area. As I've said earlier in this thread if we asume that the practice time for a player is limited and we also asume that they normally practice for every possible opponents in what have become the standard style group. Then we can pretty easily conclude that giving an extra monetary incentive definitely can effect how that player prepares thus giving the individual a potential way to with money give himself a better chance. I'm not saying people would try harder IN the game, I think they might focus their limited time preparing differently with this extra incentive. The question then is, do we want the individual to be able to have this effect? Is it fair given that not everyone can afford to do so?. Is the extra hype worth this grey area? I want Nani to go to blizzcon badly, I have followed WCS closely the last months with this as the prime thing on my mind. But I am definitely not sure that this is acceptable.. I was at first but then I read someones way of arguing in this thread and came to this conclusion. If you agree that it''s a problem or not is one thing but I can't see how you can disagree on that it can actually effect performance cause yes, obviously it can given that the players don't have unlimited time to practice. In a 1v1 scenario (non group play) I think the effect would be severaly diminished though. | ||

because if he wins he gets a shot at the Blizzcon prize pool. But barring some serious KR/NA lag going on, I don't see Revival losing this group anyway.
