While I understand that there's a need to discuss this matter, this thread has way too many trash posts in it. Please think carefully about what you want to say. Ad hominem attacks on Swedish people in general, calling you fellow Starcraft fans idiots etc etc will be dealt with with harsher punishment from here on out. Keep it civil people.

no it would mean that they set up kespa level rules not harsher ones.

I cant believe there are so many ignorant people... If you watch the GSL you are paying to watch the cultural and the games thats based off a Korean model. If a foreigner wants to participate, fine. BUT play the rules and the cultural norms! There is nothing wrong with what Naniwa did by some of your standards, yes. BUT THIS IS GSL we are talking about. And this is the exact same reason why "foreigners" are frowned upon or simply "aren't good" enough. Because there is a simple lack of professionalism or etiquettes! You don go around doing your jolly business visiting other people's work place. You play by the rules and live by them if you wanna a piece of it.

Thanks in advance He is no longer Code S, period.
He earned that spot in MLG.... SO what is the MLG GOM deal worth? Nothing? I can just say: look you deserve this rank, our fans dont like you, you dont get that spot?
MLG loses its reputation. They can never again say their winners get a gsl spot... well maybe they will... mlg doesnt know

Is 10% enough? 20? nobody knows. 0% is enough for sure tho, and that's all it matters for this case Wouldn't 0% be just gg and leave the game?

People need to stop saying this. Requiring a certain strategy of a player is the complete opposite of what SC is all about.. It requires a strategy. he made units and attacked his opponent. that's sc in a nutshell as far as I know. But it also involves a will to win. You're suggesting we punish thoughtcrime?
intent is not thought, a typical red herring argument

Anything above 0% is enough.

Classic KeSPA really, can't wait for GOM to rename! Format wasn't bad. We asked them for it. Format was pretty unprofessional. In a BO5 you don't play out the rest of the games if one of the players goes 3-0. You're not gonna see any good games then because the loser just wants to get it over with, not show good games for the fans. No the format was professional. When a team is out of the playoff hunt they still have to play the rest of their games. Naniwa was the only unprofessional thing about this. You don't just agree to the format (more than likely in a legal way as if GOM doesn't have legal documents saying they agree to the terms of the tournament they're royally screwed) and say you're going to play all 4 games and then go back on that. You agreed to it. Finish the job.
The format is flawed, that makes it unprofessional to me.

Naniwa so BM!
|
I hadn't actually followed the incident until now, but I kind of feel Gomtv did something retarded just now. You're showing yourself as the bad guy when you're punishing someone for NOT breaking the rules..
I don't think I would have played if I was Naniwa either. After losing important matches, the last thing you want to do is go play another game in front of people.

Seeing how Slasher (MLG representative and all) has stated that Nani wasn't actually awarded a code S slot for his providence performance, a more accurate title would be 'GomTV decides not to invite Naniwa to Code S January'. Isn't it kinda weird, that he waited all this time to tell us?
Not really. GOM was planning on giving one to Naniwa anyway.

Will then ban Hero from GSL, canon rushing after pool is done and building canons at the watchtower ? If the difference between 2 thrown games is the amount of buildings built, they should state it more clearly.

This is wrong on so many levels. I did not think that GSL themselves would take the bullshit of the community on this one. GL in the future Naniwa, even though you just lost your well-earned spot.

Because that's exactly what the PROFESSIONALS do. They give their all, or at least try to appear giving their all, when they play, so they don't piss off the audience.
GomTV is just reevaluating Naniwa as a professional and just revoking his Code S seed for not meeting the qualifications.
Simple as that.

This is stupid. Plain stupid.
Every game he lost was so close, I would be so damned frustrated... THOR RUSH seriously?

- During a match, a player shall not offend the opponent or audience with abusive behaviours This is my first post on TL but that dosent mean i have not followed the SC2 scene since the beginning. I have been a lurker on TL since the SC2 beta and have followed every GSL tournament, MLG, DH and so on. The problem i have with Naniwa losing his Code S spot(from my understanding at least he had a code S spot from the MLG and GSL exchange program) is the rule it self that he lost it on. What was it about with the worker rush that was abusive? What I mean is with other strategies he would have a bigger chance of winning but is the reason for choosing a bad strategy a reason for a ban?
But lets say he did not plan on winning the game that he just throw it away is that so serious in this case? Idra have fore fitted games that did not have any meaning. Did not Stephano more or less throw away games in a tournament that actually did change the outcome of the group and he did not get any shit for that. I believe that why this is so big is because Naniwa had so many haters already and because he is a controversial player.
In a much general point if Esport wanna consider it self as a "real" sport we have to use parallels to other sports as well. Not wanting to win or not caring if you win or loses have always been a factor in sports. In the 70s don't remeber what year it was did not Austria and another country just stand in the middle of the field for 30 mins during the last game of the world cup since both teams knew that if the match would draw both teams would advance to the play offs. Football teams don't always use their best players for every single game and so on. In the Olympics 2006 Sweden lost on purpose in the last game of the group stage just to get an easier opponent for the next round.
The people to blame for this whole scenario with Naniwa and Nestea is GOMTV acording to not make sure that every game has a meaning. Just to have a SC2 game broadcasted without a meaning of it is just begging for problems and then punish the player for not taking it serious is even worse when they easily could have foreseen this scenario or even worse scenarios when they were planing this tournament. It would have been worse to have one player with no reason to win against another who has everything to win on the game(I am glad we dident have to see that at least). And for the quote i dont think Naniwa did anything abusive, what he might have done is offend GOM but they deserved it this one time. If they are going to have a rule like this they have to precise it better so its clear what is offensive and abusive.

if a game doesnt matter, ask the players if they want or dont want to play the game, if not, then give w.o
its retarded and naniwa is the one taking the blow here for something that wasnt his fault so it would have gone in your mind to play like naniwa? in one of the most prestigious tournaments? just look like how extremely bored he looks. so disrespectful, while he could have gained so much respect. i suppose you have seen the video or even the live game, but go here if you haven't www.fomos.kr/gnuboard4/bbs/board.php?bo_table=talk_gossip&wr_id=394130

why do people use this as an argument? the ban had nothing to do with his previous performances in gsl. this wasn't about his play at all so why bring it up?

The Koreans view this in an entirely different manner. To see some foreigner be invited to the tournament, then in a game vs Nestea, just a-moved his probes and take his hand off the keyboard is ridiculous. Whether the game was important or not is irrelevant.
He wasent invited to the tournament but qualified.
