He said that he should stay in the oGs-TL house, read it again. He gets to live with Jinro, MC and HuK and alot of good terrans (TOP and supernova). Maybe that clears it up for you.

This is actually gigantic, I'm quite surprised to see this news. The way I see it only a really big money team, or MAYBE a Korean team could afford the pay Naniwa will probably seek. which narrows it to what...EG and a few other teams, and then maybe a Korean team or two?

Seriously big news, he has to be the biggest foreign free agent since Idra during Gamescom 2010.

So incontrol would be relagated to 3rd string?

Ok joking aside.

EG has a strong Prottos (HUK) it doesnt need another one.
Liquid.... Well it was laking in P department but with Hero Naniwa isnt needed...
Col. Tried getting Stephano (aparently failed), picking Naniwa would be wise for them cause their rooster is several lacking of some good and well knows players.
FXO. Boss stated that they arent interested.
Mouz... MaNa, HasuObs... Do we really need another protoss?

New team... All the teamless foreigners in korea create a new super team

There are many koreans that are much better. Aren't they getting more than him?
So they should have the financial requirements?

Theres like 8 players in korea obtaining a salary.

Hmm Naniwa said something yesterday in regard of coL/Mill/Stephano situation. Anyone remember what it was?

Wait, here it is:

funny that people even discuss whether its right or wrong by stephano, he broke the contract to get more money from millenium. its that simple ; )

Yea, I can see him joining coL for the money, not that anything is wrong with that. He will have access to Korea and practice with Koreans in MVP house. Win/Win situation for both parties imo (col/nani).

So this is gonna be the "Where do YOU think nani will go?" thread until his new team is announced? Sure!

Well, I think there is some reasonable conclusions one might draw, f. example it will probably be a korean team, aaand beyond that we don't know ^^

Well, this is unexpected, but when a korean team can pick him up, all will be juicy again

i meant Jinro; MC and HerO. HuK is not in OGS-TL house anymore is he? or at least he'll leave once the EG house is done

im sure he could self finance travel if that is really an issue, apparently streaming and such gives plenty of reward.

Naniwa is one of the few guys who comes across as the type who would choose whatever situation allows him the greatest amount of success and improvement in SC2 vs. that situation which would afford him the greatest financial gain. He just doesn't seem like a guy who would be happy going to a sub-par training situation for a few dollars more. I think it's reasonable to expect he goes with something that allows him to stay in Korea and train like an animal.

Yes everything he's said in every interview over the past 8 months or so would indicate that.. I really expect him to go for a great practice environment aka a korean house, be it with a foreign team or not.

He wants to stay in korea for a long time, he is even interested in learning the language, dignitas has pretty much nothing in korea (except for select/sjow/nani right now). Not a big suprise if you ask me..

MVP Naniwa...he's staying there so that's most likely who's going to recruit him.

That's a bit sad. gl to both dignitas and naniwa. Hopefully dignitas manages to pick up someone good to replace him. I hear stephano is between contracts. lol.

I'd love it if he joined Mouz, but I seriously doubt it, I'm 99% that within a few days we'll see him joining a Korean team, and I think it'll be IM!

Yeap, i got it now. As i said, i read your post completely wrong, sorry about that. rofl

I'm not sure if HuK is still living there, about his tweets after HerO match, i think he is, but not sure.
