I can think of no better storyline than if he gets so motivated that he qualifies the Korean way and then dominates his way into Code S.
Naniwa shoudl say fuck it and never play in that tournament again. Why play in a tournament that just randomly give out free code S spot to players that didnt earn it and at the same time banning Naniwa for nothing. And he worked so goddam hard to win that Code S spot from the MLG exchange program.
Is noone else noticing that the rule Naniwa "broke", is actually about something else? "Displaying violent behaviors to threaten the opposing player or the audience" GOM's pages does not say offending, they say violent, so he did not break any rules. http://www.gomtv.net/2011gslsponsors3/news/64582
Completely over the top punishment IMO, not buying a GSL pass for january in support of Naniwa. Keep fighting~

I would cry tears of joy/(good)rage/retribution/happiness/justice/best storyline in sc2 ever.
Me too. It would be amazing. Like Maximus the gladiator :D
And then when he is asked how it feels, he would say " It's ok".

So can anyone actually find any official statement that Providence didn't have a Code S spot up for grabs? Some very vocal posters are saying this (over and over) and I have looked through both MLG's and GSL's site without finding anything like that. Both the official announcement of the exchange program as well as several other sources (news, comments from players/casters) says the opposite that he should be given a Code S spot due to his position in MLG.

Yeps he should just like DRG,MMA and MC won a spot true the MLG exchange program. GomTV is lying
I think the reason people say Providence didn't have a Code S spot is because the exchange program was for 2011 only but any seed from Providence would have to be for a 2012 GSL.

He wants to prove he's the best. There is only one way to do that, and that's to win GSL. If he's good enough to do it, he can qualify the Korean way.
I think he can qualify the Korean way, and get to Code S on his own. It would be awesome to watch.

He is much much better than a lot of playes who have already qualified it makes no difference. It will be awesome to watch. Unless he says fuck it and get the shit out of korier because he don't want to deal with GOM(which would be imo 100% understandable.)

The people I've read seems to be arguing it doesn't apply because there weren't any Korean seeds for that tournament. In any case I'm looking for what they are getting this from. The announcement clearly say it will be given out to the next gsl. Nowhere does it exclude Providence or say it's only for this year. That might be the case but to me it seems people are just making it up as they go along.
Guys, don't forget to mail Gomtv, Mr. Chae, Blizzard and their sponsors... and tell Gomtv in your mail that you are indeed emailing their sponsors about it and that you will continue to mail them back once a day from now on if the issue is not resolved.
It had value to many people. We wanted to see Naniwa beat Nestea again. Nestea wanted a chance to beat Naniwa. Now we have to wait longer before we see Naniwa rematch against Nestea.
I fucking love naniwa for being one of the few persons in sports who does not compromise with his will to win. Naniwa is playing to win and if there is nothing to win he does not play. I, personally, would rather watch a couple of 5-year olds duke it out on the soccer field, playing their hearts out, than barcelona's last group match in Championsleague, which meant literally nothing to them. To me, the spirit of the competition has nothing to do with some lofty ethical rules which noone states clearly but everyone should follow, or be considered outcasts. To me, the spirit of competition is the drive to win. To see the lengths, within the rules of the game, that humans can push themselves to prove themselves the best. If I have doubts about the incitaments for either party to try their hardest, I could not care less about the competition. To me it is a useless show, like a terribly scripted movie with awful actors and a dishonest crowd who cheers for nothing.
Nani, you have made a fan. Do not ever compromise.

you got Mr.Chae email address?
ps. look at this and Demuslim is playing in the GSL. the irony.
Ultimately he dropped the following four games, and despite not being crowned champion, Naniwa has presented one of the most captivating weeks imaginable, both in and out of the game. In the last week, Naniwa has rage quit of of a GSL match, flown half-way around the world, defeated the two most successful Korean Starcraft 2 players back-to-back, sparked a rivalry with Nestea, been the center of controversy in a rematch against Nestea, let a National Championship slip through his fingers and earned a seat in Code S.
Over the last few months, Naniwa has been training hard over in Korea to take his game to the next level, and his hard work appeared to pay off in Providence. The 2nd Place finish was good enough to earn him a Code S spot, so keep an eye on this MLG Champion as he goes toe-to-toe with the world's best during the offseason.
Naniwa, however, stayed focused on his goal. Amidst swirls of tabloid drama and misguided quotes, Naniwa kept his concentration on the task at hand. When his turn to enter the bracket finally rolled around, the Swedish Protoss defeated Nestea for the second time that weekend, and followed the feat with wins over Huk and DongRaeGu. In the end Naniwa failed to seal the deal as he lost four straight games against Leenock in the Grand Finals, but appeared to be a man with a renewed determination and a refined playstyle. With the pedigree Naniwa displayed over the weekend, it's hard not to be excited about Naniwa's 2012 prospects in Code S and at Major League Gaming Events.
At MLG Columbus, the Top 3 non-Korean finishers will each be placed into GSL Code A. At every 2011 Pro Circuit Live Competition after MLG Columbus, GSL placement will occur as follows: Code S status will be awarded to the highest placing player, within the Top 3, regardless of country of origin, who does not already have Code S status. Code S status will not be awarded if all of the players placing 1st-3rd already have Code S Status. Code A status will be awarded to the next three highest placing non-Korean players. If Code S status is awarded to a Korean player, or not awarded at all, Code A status also will be awarded to the 4th highest placing non-Korean player.
Naniwa was able to secure a huge victory and guarantee at least a Top 3 finish in Providence. That placement will gives him a chance to secure Code S and continues the run of world class players that Naniwa has defeated over the course of the championship weekend in Providence.

Discusting and slasher just twitted the exact opposite. The lies we are seeing.

I tweeted Slasher the 1st two articles.
Added the information that MLG released at the time when the exchange was made.
