So I watched SOTG last night (yeah almost all 5 hours of it!) and was just wondering what people thought of the whole Naniwa situation?
I'm of 2 minds on the subject, but i'm leaning more towards siding with Incontrol in that he is a paid professional and sometimes you have to do some things that you don't like (in any job actually)
Naniwa shouldn't have done it. Regardless of what people say, there was a clause in his agreement with GOMTV. It was their call, and I'll stand by it.

Azz had a chance at this one point in the game where he had a nexus and 6 probes. But he found a way to **** it up from there 3 times in a row - Iaguz
To be honest, I have to agree with Mr. Chae on the situation. This is a professional sport. Yes it may be just computer games but it's professional. How can we keep it that way if a PROFESSIONAL PLAYER does something as stupid as that in a game just because he's frustrated. That is just worse than IdrA. I don't think he deserves to be kicked out of Code S or whatever it was, but I do believe he should be punished. So, thank you GSL for having standards.
Well to me you would look at it as if its another sport, let's say football. If you're last in the group and there is no hope at all of changing anything, you still play the whole 90minutes regardless, even if you were fooling around the whole game. But it's Naniwa so I could understand the thought process.
Also, perhaps we should talk about SotG if this is an SotG thread. That drunk episode was kinda funny =D
New PlayXP interview with Blizzard Cup players in the Ro6:
>Q. How do you feel about Naniwa not being able to participate in the upcoming GSL season?
>MC: He did not deserve it. Code S is for the best progamers in the world. I do not see Naniwa as a progamer. I see him as a little boy.
>Leenock: To be honest, I don't think Naniwa is that strong. If the players in Code S watched his replays, he wouldn't win a game.
>Polt: Naniwa is a strange guy. I hope he qualifies for Code A like any other player next season.
>MVP: I feel Naniwa is a strong player, but with a very weak mind. He reminds me off a soft egg.
>Q. How do you feel about Idra and Sen getting invitational spots into Code S next season?
>MC: What did they do to deserve the honor to play in Code S? Because they aren't Korean? I promise to thumbs them down back where they belong.
>Leenock: I think they're both good players. I look forward to fighting them.
>Polt: I qualified for the Round of Six in the Blizzard Cup, but I don't get invited to Code S freely because I am not a foreigner? I think it's a ploy to get more money, honestly.
Oh yeah Mia rose, sounds like she has laringitis....Or she is about to break out and cry!
On another note, JP was as wasted as $h|t by the end of that episode
"Combat Ex and Mia Rose are the two biggest assholes in the SC2 community" ... think about it.
"I would twirl Day[9]'s arm hair as I neared climax... " that whole segment when he described what he'd do the the others was the most roflworthy thing I've ever seen on stream ever.

by that logic every player who leaves before his last building is destroyed should receive an equal penalty, since they're not playing 'the whole game'.
revoking his code S seed for using a bad strategy is pretty hard to justify. GOM's attempts to portray naniwa as a player who cares more about money than championships would be laughable if they weren't serious

Well don't take the point literally but I'm pretty sure you get what I meant.
Naniwa was an idiot and he had to live with the punishment he got, and even he readily admits that now and (hopefully from the sound of it) realises the stupidity of what he did.
That said, I think the Koreans are very melodramatic and the community in general has gone too far with the Naniwa hate, acting like he's the new Hitler or something.
