So i see it.

I understand the goal of a FC, so I wont say anything bad.

I've just finished listened to the Real Talk interview, and there is so many good points in there that makes me like Naniwa even more.

And I'm happy that he left Quantic on good terms despite really liking Quantic's CEO Mark. I will keep rooting for StarTaleQuantic in the GSTL because of this

Every time I think I can't possible respect and adore NaNiwa more than I already do, he keeps blowing my mind away. Real Talk last night was amazing and showed such a humble but yet passionate side of NaNiwa, giving us a chance to understand him on a whole new level. As a long time fan, I am really happy to see how much love and support he gets on different community sites today. Finally.

There are no words strong enough to describe how much I wish for him to succeed and reach his goals.

NaNiwa fighting! Best wishes both in SC2 and life. Stay strong, stay true!

Admirable. Well done for actually getting what a fanclub is about, even if you disagree with / dislike the player in question

I never in a thousand years expected to say this but the guy is a bit of a role model for me now. The bit about being two-faced really struck a chord with me. I know so many people who do that phony shit because it gets results. It's rare to see somebody just say fuck it and be their true self 100% of the time.

Sign me up.

listening to real talk, I can relate so much to Johan and what he said. Being a lefty too, having that itch that you "have to" say things out loud (which gave me so much trouble when I was a bit younger), having a lot of temper growing up, getting into fights etc. having very high expectations (doctor parent) on you but wanting to pursue what makes you happy in life, not what satisfies some arbitrary academical standard set by ones parents (I went for music and not gaming but not much difference there in terms of future prospects).

Ur pretty much the only player I really like in this game. If youre reading this, which you probably arent, I want to give one suggestion, and im only saying this because I really want you to be the best of the best. Its to start meditating daily. Its a little boring at first, but after a couple of weeks it becomes awesome. And most importantly... Its the fucking best when it comes to controling nerves, anxiety, maintaining a calm and alert state etc. as a musician I used to have a lot of trouble with performance-anxiety and the shaky hands, but no more. I honestly believe you would greatly benefit from this in your gaming as well as in life in general. That and very high intensity cardio is real good stuff for the brain.

also amphetamine.

ps im an atheist and meditation has nothing to do with religion.

There's a whole psychological dicipline regarding maximising performance and handling stress in sports. Especially suitable for individual sports. As e-sports grows I guess it will turn up there as well but for now I guess only the swedish skiers etc will get anything.

Anyway I liked the interview. I think JP wasn't very happy about some of the comments regarding americans hyping themselves and so on but of course it's most likely true even if generalized. Funny that Suppy and SortOf were owned their groups yesterday also.

Having some trouble with the new layout I made for the fanclub. I dont feel it suits NaNiwa

Anyone has some tips on what kind of layout I should go for? And if anyone has some ideas / Pictures they think would be cool. Please link me / send!

Looks like Dignitas want to re-sign NaNiwa on their team. ~~I'm not 100% sure if NaNiwa wants it though...~~ Edit: On a second thought, maybe he wants to do it after all.

Im 100% sure NaNiwa wants back to Dignitas as long as he gets his minimum requirements.

The team he says he is waiting for to accept his requirements must be Dignitas.
