If TLO is scared Naniwa will be a bad housemate then i understand. But bad PR is a slightly weird reason. It's not like if Naniwa does something bm/stupid it will reflect badly on the people in the gaming house instead of his team Dignitas.

Might be a mistranslation though. Would be helpful if someone can clarify. It's a waste that Naniwa is not in the house skill wise imo.

He didin't say why he thought that TLO didin't like him. Only that he's heard that. But, it's quite possibly the "Haunting Past".

Hmm, it's a bad situation.
If they can't get along there's no point having him there, but on the other hand he's probably the best protoss in Europe so ofc you want to practice with him.

He's wrong about white-ra having won nothing though. White-ra has won a lot of competitions throughout the year.

I'd like to see Naniwa climb to Code S. I believe he has the skill to do so.

Let's not jump to conclusions about the TLO/Naniwa conflict, even Naniwa is not sure at what is going on.

I think its obvious that Naniwa has put that shit behind him and is striving to become a legit progamer. He is far better than he's ever been and people are finally starting to give him recognition for it, which probably also helps him change his attitude.

If it's TLO's house then obviously he can pick whomever he wants, but I think he is missing out one of the top 3 EU players by ignoring Nani.

AFAIK Sjow and Nani are also good friends, so it would make sense to invite them both there.

N: Nah my goal is to be the best and I think Korea is the best way to become the best so to speak. If I can get there and get a chance at code A or code S I'll take it.

Yeah Naniwa definitely started to control himself a lot more. He will have to keep behaving for a long time, until he proves that he's not an asshole. Pretty cool, he's a skilled player. Btw. such questions about imbalance are obsolete, every player will defend their race, and if not, it will sound weird.
Let us divine :D

TLO has mentioned not liking nani in the past, I dont doubt that there has been some pretty bad bm coming from nani towards TLO in the past, dude used to be so BM. I hope hes changed his ways, hes certainly very good, and I want to believe hes reformed, we will see, of all foreingers atm I think I want to see him in GSL the most, hes so gosu man.

What's really weird is that SjoW would live in the teamhouse and not invite his teammate naniwa..

They could need a strong protoss like him, but i can understand TLO not inviting him. I hated him in wc3-times so much for his behaviour..

The real test of character is whether or not White-ra likes you. If White-ra doesn't like you, then you are the root of all evil. Suprising to read about the TLO thing since TLO is usually so chipper and happy. I guess that would explain why he doesn't like naniwa .

I agree with Naniwa that this tourny would have been better if he was in it.

So in this case, it means Naniwa's past might overshadow any annoucements or good impressions of the teamhouse.

Naniwa doesn't seem very well liked in the SC2 pro community,

I dont' care. I like him.

I wonder if they could go wrong but inviting him in some kind of probationary fashion.
