If drawing inappropriate things with scans is not ok, then this can not be acceptable.

Meh, that's so last years handbook. Now everything goes!


THERE'S NO RULES! I declare myself winner of WCS 2015 season 1! WOOOH


I also declare myself the winner of wcs 2015 season 1, we'll have to fight to the death for the title!

It's funny how Kane and people call for WCS rules in this situation as if he needed to say absolutely nothing during his stay in WCS lel

Thanks for that. However, in this case I think that the players were talking outside of the game about things which are only indirectly related to the game. I mean, isn't it a personal business of the players what kind of a relation they have in real life outside of the game?

One could consider the legal interpretations of tweets that wish physical harm or stage physical fights, but I'm pretty sure that everyone agrees here that this would be a hugely overblown case. Finally, Naniwa removed his tweet, so he backed off from his statement.

I think he remembered this:

The WCS Administration team is also aware of other reported infractions of our Behavior rule (16.B in the WCS Player Handbook) on various social media and other public locations by players competing in the World Championship Series. Warnings will continue to be issued when players are in violation of the Code of Conduct, and further action may be taken after additional review. We take all reports of misconduct very seriously and will investigate all matters to maintain the ongoing confidence of our competitors and viewers.


http://wcs.battle.net/sc2/en/articles/wcs-europe-disciplinary-action-jan-13-2015

So it was smart to delete that tweet. Pretty sure he would've gotten a warning at least. Blizzard is monitoring the twitter game.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Sports has plenty of bad boys - they bring drama into the game. Here I am thinking of the likes of Jose Mourinho, not that piece of human effluence Michael Vicks.

Great to see Naniwa back in the game - loved his skill and the excitement/controversy he brought into the game. He was, and probably still is, the only Protoss I will ever support against a Terran player.

I don't like this 'hate campaign' versus naniwa from Kane and others. Reminds me of the incontrol and idra high fiving moment vs destiny. Easy to pick on someone with a group. It's just silly.

I mean Naniwa has no filter, so he's brutally honest which makes him very rude and people think he's an asshole for it, which is totally fine of course. But gathering together as a group versus 1 person is way worse than being an asshole, it means you can't distance yourself from it which means you are no better a person. What is wrong with just accepting you don't like someone. You don't have to get along with every other progamer. Why do you need to gather together and try to demoralize him... Sad group mentality.

I was never a fan of Naniwa but seeing the reactions to his return makes me want cheer for him lol.

The Russian stream was breaking the rules by considerable margin of 2 minutes and that's what matters. In fact, they should be punished in some way for that.

Thanks. I was wondering if this apparently pro-Russian fan from Ukraine was presenting the facts correctly or not, so thanks for clarifications. Btw. by standard Twitch delay you mean a few seconds? Anyway, the conclusions are the same.

Can someone please do one of those crazy hype trailers for the NaNiwa vs. Nerchio match? With all the drama etc.? Just as the icing on the cake? That's like the most hype match since the WCS finals.
