I just read the interview on the Dignitas page.

While I apreciate Naniwa trying to be less BM and working on his attitude, he shouldn't act as if his despicable behaviour is a thing of his distant War3 past four or five years ago. He's been an arrogant prick to tournament players and he's flamed and trash-talked in games as recently as last year.

If the issue with dropping out of the ESL and losing his appartment in Germany finally got him to think things over, alright. It's just sad that he manages to screw things up over and over again and always gets another chance, while other players with similar skill but more mature personality may not.

similar players like who exactly ?

Also any publicity is good publicity you should know that by now. His manners are irrelevant

Naniwa perfected team blink micro... He is truly a beast now.

Ok seriously not commenting his changing colors i must say im rather impressed by his PvP. All other P are very good at PvT or PvZ but suck at PvP... On the other hand Naniwa is freaking good at it.

Would be nice know why he is doing this. I'm just interested to know reason why people switch teams.
I lot of that happening lately.

The same reason why players switch teams in every sport. They think they can get a better deal with another team, be it finacialy or opportunity wise.
We know nothing.

This makes team dignitas look scary good, probably one of the best foreign teams now.


Minus Liquid (Every member?), or Root (Catz, Mini, Kiwi, QXC, Drew), or EG(Machine, Inka, Incontrol, LZ), or Mouz(Morrow, Strelock, Mana, Hasu, Naama), or Fnatic(Kiwi, TT1, Fenix, Gretorp. Sen, Lucifrion)



Yeah, Those teams are way better than Dignitas. SeleCT is probably the best in that team. Nani needs to learn to play on more than one base. People saying they should send nani to Korea makes me laugh. Nani would just be a worse version of ChoyafOu.


I think the dignitas lineup isn't too far from mouz/Fnatic/ROOT and slightly stronger than EG.


Including IdrA/Demuslim in this equation? I'm pretty sure IdrA could allkill Dignitas in a CW, but even so, if you compare IdrA/Demuslim/Machine/InControl/Inka to Naniwa/Sjow/Select/Bischu/Killer, EG is better in 3-4 of those matchups, and then Axslav/Lz/StrifeCro are much stronger than the remainder of Dignitas.

I think Naniwa is world-class, but that doesn't make Dignitas world-class.

So 5 shorts in half a year? Sounds about right.

Coz he didnt pick the right team until now


why aren't you actually shown on the dignitas team page?



Coz that page is only for players in dignitas not managers and management,there will be new section about this

Good for him, at the moment he may be the second best protoss in EU after White-Ra (also I wonder why isn't white-ra still signed by one of the top teams after he is no longer in mouz?)


i assume he just gets sufficient sponsorship from duckload?

well the swedish community hangs out abit, and you can see that naniwa makes a shout out to sjow in his tsl3 qualifier interview. i think that dignitas, has been the team hes wanted the most to be a part of lately. because of the community that dignitas is.

Dignitas could really send Sjow and Naniwa to Korea. Would be nice watching them play there.

Interesting, i would have thought the exact opposite...

It just cross my mind that if WCG goes SC2 this year, Sweden will have such awesome qualifiers with Jinro, Sjow, Naniwa, Morrow, Bischu, Merz, ThorZain, HayprO ...
I am not good with quotes

Madfrog isn't even good.

But Lalush is very underrated imho

EG keeps losing to NrG. I think you vastly overestimate them. When IdrA isn't around they've been showing underwhelming results

Dignitas no offense but has only 3 top players. SelecT Sjow and Naniwa. If they want to be a good clan they need a really good zerg also for training. And you guys say this is european team, Select is american/korean and he was/is the most emblematic figure from Dignitas.

Go Go Go Nani, protoss fighting. Also being in same team with Sjow will help him a lot i guess, both Swedish, they seems to know each other.
