What difference does that make? It's like they're saying he would get the code S seed but he hadn't gotten it yet so technically they didn't revoke it. wtf | ||

I am a Australian-Korean and I know that Koreans take gaming very seriously. Naniwa is very unprofessional and has no integrity. Wouldn't everyone here be upset if it was for example a "SOCCER GAME" and losing side was down 0-5 goals and there was only 5 minutes left and they didn't think there was no use because they already lost and just stopped playing and walked off the field???? Or what if they started kicking own goals for the fun of it?? Again, this analogy is flawed since it is entirely common in soccer to not take important games seriously. You're already 5-0 in your group, field the b-team since you're already through. Similarly, you're 0-5 in your group, field the b-team because it no longer matters. The same even holds for matches as important as 3rd and 4th place in the world cup. Think for a minute before saying dumb shit | ||

If he were Korean, he would've been suspended for months and kicked from his team. Say he keeps his Code S spot, and is put in a similar scenario again, playing a match that "doesn't matter". Is he going to behave this way again? NaNiwa has shown time and time again, he doesn't have respect for anyone (MLG, TSL, etc.), and the GSL is not taking that bullshit. He needs to learn, one way or another. If this punishment makes him never want to return to GSL, then that's his decision. Like I said, personally, this is a bit severe, but who's to say how serious this is by Korean standards? | ||

You can not compare this situation with a friendly sport event. Let's take a friendly football match. The REAL football, the one when you actually kick the ball with your foot all the time... 1. They always pick reserve players to play anyways. 2. The match is actually limited by time, so it would be stupid to sit on grass for 90 minutes. 3. Players have a lot of time between matches, they don't play one after one in one day. What I'm saying here is - they are not exhausted, they have a proper mindset and reserve players probably want to show their best. | ||

The stupid format mandating two players to play each other who have no opportunity to advance caused this. Also the rule about being abusive and disrespectful in the history of starcraft progamming. Boxer vs. Yellow - Nukes everywhere (this one is debatable) FBH dancing ceremonies Pylon hearts anyone? More recently in sc2 - banter - dropping mules at the end of a long tvx game - dancing your units. Anyways naniwa needed to be punished but this was not the way to do it. | ||

No one thinks Dinamo Zagreb losing on purpose is okay, so please stop making things up.Oh you mean like when Dinamo Zagreb loses a game with 1-7 in champions league? wich was perfectly okay and that match meant alot for other teams that lost/gained lots of millions cause of that result | ||

Gom acted based on their context/culture, Korean were shocked, the punishment is fair, and Gom had no choice but to take actions. | ||

Right, this is completely arbirtrary from GOM. How is dropping MULEs - gloating - more respectful giving your opponent a free win in a meaningless game? I would argue that mule dropping is in fact far more disrespectful but it's accepted as commonplace. The problem GOM now has is where do you draw the line between not trying your hardest and giving up entirely? If you think every players tries 100% in every game you're sorely mistaken. I'm far from a Naniwa fanboy, but this is very poor form shown by GOM. And if you're arrogant enough to think that he should be there to entertain you, well look around at the pages and pages of drama. You could argue that he's been more entertaining than any SC2 player thus far. | ||

He didn't think through his actions, and should be punished for it. This can easily lead to negative exposure to sponsors, which greatly affect such a young esport. Whether he meant to or not, he is potentially causing monetary damage to GOM and they have every right to reprimand him in a way they see fit. If he did the clearly appropriate thing, which was to play the game, he would not be punished whatsoever. Since he chose to make a murky action for whatever reason (lazy, emotional, trying to look cool, etc) he has to be prepared that there is a chance something can happen to him. | ||

In Naniwa's incident, he a-moved his probes to Nestea's base and sat in his chair with folded arms. In no way is that professional, and is bad sportsmanship, especially in Korean where they take gaming very seriously. I totally understand your statement claiming soccer fielding their b-team. But never does the b-team walk onto the field and sat on the ground for the duration of the match. They will play the game out as normal. Now Naniwa did not just there but he might as well have. | ||

I mean he disrespects MLG, Someone said KSL I don't know myself though and now GSL. Hes far from professional, if he would mature a little bit I don't see any reason not to give his code S back, but currently he doesn't deserve it. If hes going to throw games or insult the tournaments on a whim just because he didn't want to play the game, or they accidentally loaded the wrong map. I'm glad he got punished I wanted him to be punished at MLG. | ||

What's the difference between a poorly executed 4gate to end the game asap and what he did? Essentially, there is no difference. The game was 100% meaningless and he was obvoiusly in a bad frame of mind from going out of the tournament. Hell, in previous iterations of GSL that match wouldn't have even been played. | ||

I wouldnt be so bothered by the situation if GOM stayed professional when punishing some1 for not being professional. Nani's decision was inappropriate but guess what no1 gave a shit about that game at that point. there is alot more to be judged by either parties actions afterwards but all in all i just cant understand GOMs reasoning on letting its employs slander some1 for acting unprofessional. both GOM and nani seem to be experiencing massive lapses in judgment. | ||
