That's up to the player. In France, soccer player are fined all the time because they say things like : "Fuck you dickhead" to journalists. They are fined but still play (and win sometimes. (i don't follow football)).
To be faire the idrA "fuck you" happened in 2010/2011. We are in 2014 and it was the last time we saw something like that. Guess you have not been hyped for a long time sir.

D. Communication & Storage Devices – Players must consult with the organizer before bringing electronic storage devices to any event and are not allowed to use any mobile or external communication equipment during a match. All personal equipment must be in an enclosed bag or be given to an administrator while a match is played.
Scarlett is fucked.

Poor Naniwa, seriously we're two pages in and half the comments are referencing him.
He isn't even relevant to half these displayed rules

But... but the whole line was 4thelolz, of course it is going to be a hyperbolic with witty and, oh so, subtle remarks about something.
And I'm aware how long ago that happened, but I just always loved the in game chat. Most of it is friendly banter that we can all enjoy, but rarely, oh so rarely, it happens that someone express their utter disgust and rage, and that makes me smile. "Apologize for playing that race" Come on, we have all been there on ladder. Even, Jesus got angry that one time.

I wonder if denying a handshake will make you fined 
|
the no replay thing is I believe is great.
it keeps up the tension from the viewers perspective, the players have to figure out their opponents within actual play, like solving a puzzle, and can look at the solution only after the competition is over.
also should help with delays
i like it

Wow holy shit Blizzard what else can you fuck up more?
Can't drink? Smoke? Say naughty language? chat to players? say anything during interviews?
The culture of their fans made them the company they are today, and they want to strip that from public eye. It's fucking sickening and it's happening everywhere in this pretentious, pussy world we live in today

B. Behavior – Players are required to behave in a sportsmanlike manner towards other competitors, members of the administration team, media, and fans.
I guess that wide interpretation of this could get you fined for denying the handshake :D

This.While not pertaining to these rules specifically, the way Jaedong was rushed from the semifinals into the finals of WCS Blizzcon seemed to contribute to his poor play. Going from a ZvT mindset into a ZvP mindset within 5 minutes can’t have been easy, while SoS had almost an hour to switch gears.

I'm 50/50 on whether I like this or not.. A lot of it seems like standard rules you shouldn't do that shit and I like the idea of the fines.
But at the same time we just got Korean players to start showing their personalities and doing ceremonies/trash talking. I hope this doesn't scare players away from actually being funny. I don't like the no in game chat rule kespa style either, Seeing players banter back and forth is fun. Instead of No in game chatting they should have made it no swearing/racism etc. and let the players talk to each other if they want too.

Literally Kespa
Kespa run tournaments are more strict, they don't have a greeting and your pause and closing is also limited to only typing ppp and gg/GG. from what I see, awkward random typing such as 'gl , hf sweet kitten' (whatever) and lame GGs such as 'gg nice allin play good luck next round lol' are allowed? depends on how strict points A and B are, what's considered obscene gesture/unsportsmanlike.

edit: I understand it can be used as a stall tactic between matches, but if they limit the amount of time players can watch replays instead, I believe it would be much better.
The problem is that it isn't a minute, it's like 5-10 minutes of review. Personally, I think it detracts from the game if players are allowed to review their opponents between matches. It just slows things down and SC2 events need to move faster, not slower.

by that definition you could also get fined for an "offensive handshake"!!!!
:p

Awesome stuff! Be it Idra, Destiny or Naniwa, none of them is great at showing sportsmanship or even being polite. They're all bothered with their "we're so awesome" shit that I can't stand it anymore.

I literally didn't care about the article until this picture. Well done Wax.

I don't think we need to restrict the chat so severely, some banter or witty trash talk can be quite entertaining. As long the rules for offensive and insulting language are enforced, I don't really see a need to kill off all in-game chat.
Naniwa's "lol fuck" vs Jaedong still makes me smile, I'd hate to lose things like that completely.

No replays? Is that the screams of anger by the European ex. wc3 players that I hear from afar? ;D
