Naniwa left Empire and is confirmed to be joining dignitas.
This makes team dignitas look scary good, probably one of the best foreign teams now.

What is your thoughts on this?

Ah very nice starting to get a very powerful lineup which is good considering they are a fairly high profile team in other games.

Naniwa changing team for the 6 time

but on a less teasing tone, it is good to see dignitas having more Protoss(only have Bischu atm)

I had hoped he would join Team Liquid or EG so he could go to Korea and play there.

But Team Dignitas is now definitely the best Europe based team together with mouz.

Just when I thought he was stabilizing, he jumps ship again? This is like his 4th or 5th team in like half a year.

:O Sick signing for Dignitas, surprised to see Nani leaving Empire though he's not been under their banner for that long?

Perhaps Dignitas offered the chance to go to Korea? :O

A strong and solid lineup. Congrats to dignitas and naniwa. Though, I thought naniwa recently switched to empire?
Don't mind me

Looks like a strong team. Hopefully they do well (I like seeing all foreign teams succeed).

Just to make sure i'm not confusing players but is Naniwa the super bm player who keeps getting kicked off teams for not working/doing stupid shit?

It's a better team for him. He said he couldn't practise with his teammates due to the language barrier.

Don't think Empire has the economy to send their players to tournaments, which is why it makes sense for the players to join bigger teams if they get the opportunity.

What does that mean for the ongoing clan wars?
I assume he can not simply play for dignitas in these, as he has already played on another team in the same event. Will he finish his games with empire or just leave the competition?

Didn't Nani say he liked empire in a recent interview?
Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.

"NaNiwa sees himself to be on the mend, though, saying that "now that I am older, I can reflect back on my mistakes and see that I didn't have an appropriate mindset to be a professional gamer".

I sincerely hope for this to be true, and look forward to seeing naniwa lose that bad boy image that currently haunts him. He's on a very professional team now, time to manner up and be professional himself!
