You should try to judge Gom's decision without considering your feelings towards Naniwa.
I think that Gom had to punish him because he showed intolerable disrespect to the tournament, the players, and the audience. In my opinion, Gom needed to show that they will not tolerate such behaviour.

A player practice ban for example doesn't seem likely from now on. Of course, the actions of ESF must now be met with a more critical approach: Does any decision benefits the players and teams or is it used to strengthen Gom's position?

That being said I still stand by my statement: It doesn't feel completely right because it seems like they were pulling this rule out of their hats. Maybe he needed to be punished but the rules simply were not there. At least in a straight way. It just doesn't seem right - and nothing would have happened if he 4gated.

Not entirely sure what this is going to mean for Korean SC2... I can't imagine much will change.

I'm cautiously optimistic.
GOM has been doing the right things from Day 1. They hired Tasteless and brought the foreigner fans in back when KeSPA's biggest concerns were whether or not to rule a game forfeit because a player typed "ppp" instead of "pp". They were forward-thinking when KeSPA was reactionary.
That said, it seems a bit silly for there to be a split and a rivalry in the Starcraft scene. Proleague should involve all the teams, and be administered by both sides, sort of how it was in the OGN/MBC days. This would keep up the appearance of a rivalry (will a KeSPA or ESF team win it all?) when reality the two sides are working together.

He threw a match intentionally, simple as that. it wasn't even a strategy. Throwing a match is forbidden since its basically match fixing and considering the whole scandal before korea does not fuck around with cases like that.

Well now that they've destroyed the lone dissenter, that shouldn't be a problem.

I don't know... on one hand this is kind of necessary to balance out KeSPA's powertripping, but the existence of this dichotomy is just going to create more conflict...

Thats a point.

Sweet. Hope this benefits the scene.

You are really comparing the savior case to what naniwa did? seriously?
Seems like I got the stages of a real esports drama in just 3 posts -.-

The sad thing is that in GSL Up&Downs there is no need to play games that don't matter. Tournament is always poorly made when rules are being changed after games.
GOMTV should had man up and accept it was their fault because bad tournament rules/etc. It's always bad for players when they have to take blame instead of tournament host because of poor tournament rules.
I just hope GOMTV don't do that again and do ESF work properly.

Cooperation with kespa? in your dreams
|
I really really like that.
GOM please make eSport live long
|
GOMTV has shown their way to approach esports in interacting with teams and fans, listening deeply to criticism and doing a lot to improve the quality of their product. I think this is a good move, especially for the teams. Both, esF teams and GOMTV, sit in the same boat. The downfall of one of them means the downfall of the other. So this is just consequent dealing of the situation.

KESF
