There was no translation for the whole document so I went ahead and translated it (the best i could)

- Entry Method
: Within 1 min of a match ending, inform the ref by document/paper.
- Setting Time: Standard (After greeting the audience and entering the booth, 5 mins)
- Always greet the audience before every set.
- Once your entry is announced, you must stay in the designated area (team's table and team's resting room)
- After sitting in the booth, you can still move around but is included in the 5 min setting time.
- After reentering the booth after the match, equipment is rechecked.
- Strategies could be discussed in any area.
- When surrendering in a match, only "gg' and "GG" will be legal/accepted
When not followed, this will result in an automatic disqualification and warning

*But, this will not be used in Round 3.
*These rules will be enforced at the start of Round 4 (04-11-2009)

Hopefully this whole thing can be translated.

There's really no purpose for this rule, but I guess it doesn't hurt anything.

GTR basically summed it up. The article is saying that "GG, gg, and ppp" are the only accepted forms of "chat" in-game and any other variations (zizi, etc.) are now banned.

That's totally lame.

I don't understand what this rule is supposed to accomplish. Who cares if they type zizi yO?

What does 'zizi' mean? Maybe chat restrictions are to stop them playing mind games. Though the time lost typing stuff probably really isn't worth it.

zizi yO is just BackHo's way of saying gg. There is no hidden meaning there, and I am relatively sure that he isn't trying to be malicious with it or anything, he is just being unique.

This rule is ridiculous, and how are they supposed to enforce it? Seriously wtf...

This is too bad. They should allow trash talk and mind-games imo. It'd make it more interesting and it's not like the opposing player has to respond if they are bothered by it.

Wait... So if someone's Korean thing turns on during the game on accident, and they type ㅎㅎ that's against the rules? WTF?

Oh man.......poor Backho first the back injury and now this. I also see a lot of progamers type ww. What are the penalties for not typing 'gg' or 'GG'? If it's disqualification it'd be pretty stupid.

Imagine all the penalties that will be handed out due to koreans saying "ww" mistakenly instead of gg.
