I bet a korean team has shown interest in him over there and he'll join them.

Assuming he wants money similar to players of his calibre, that kind of limits his team options to the big guys with money. EG, FXO(already said no), TL(?), coL, fnatic, mouz, mill(?).
The Team House is in San Francisco I believe. How does this help Nani who wants to stay in Korea?

I could see him going to other teams but not TL.
lol, HuK had a bm history that preceded him as well. And they let a better player (who WAS nearly as BM as Naniwa WAS) go because EG's deal was quite a bit sweeter.

I'm not surprised. Best of luck to both parties.

Considering how Zenex has like no sponsors and couldn't even afford to keep Puzzle and Coca, I doubt they'd be able to afford Nani to be honest.

EGNaniwa!! Naniwa to Korea!!
...O wait
|
Aww, always sucks to see one of your favorite teams part ways with a favorite player. Hopefully he finds a team in Korea, but before that happens I bet he has to produce some results.
|
Well, he's currently training in the MVP house, so he's either going to join them or Col, I think. It would make sense.

Throw in San as well.
I'm going with Naniwa to coLMVP, Polt to a foreign team (going to get less than Naniwa), and San forever teamless until he gets back into the GSL and destroys everyone.

they didnt let HuK go, HuK's contract was expiring, HuK decided not to resign the contract with Liquid, Liquid reluctantly agreed to let EG buy off the last few months of the HuK contract.
also, lots of people have a history, DIMAGA and (i think) Brat_OK cheated in TSL2 qualifiers and were banned from TSL3, does that mean we should trash them and hate them?
history is pointless, we've seen Naniwa evolve as both a player and a person, hes become more mature, he hasnt BMed anyone in months, just because he was BM back when his life was going bad doesnt mean hes going to be BM any time in the future

Given the financial requirements for a player such as Naniwa, the only korean team who 'may' purchase him would be coL.MvP, but it would be a big investment for them.
My guess would be another foreign team. Looks like EG/coL MVP. I think he really wants to be the best like he said on interviews but I have a feeling he wants to keep going to MLG and Dreamhack (among other tournaments outside Korea) and stay at Korea to improve. So maybe Dignitas wasn't able to afford all of that cause he seemed to enjoy playing for Dignitas.

i think that EG will probably pick up Naniwa. If not a Korean team will, would love to see SlayerS.Naniwa.

This means either a Korean team, or a team with a partnership with a Korean team so he can have a stable practice environment.
However he isn't going to want to undersell himself, which is why I think he turned down FXO. To me this leaves Liquid, EG or Complexity. Now I'm not sure Liquid or EG would want him, EG because they have Huk and Liquid because they possibly can't afford him, and he does have a bit of a reputation, even if that's a bit of an outdated reputation and partly caused by the language and culture difference (Naniwa always seems to get along well with Swedes). To me this leaves Complexity.
And to further reinforce my view that this is where he's going, he is currently living in the MvP house. *Puts down pipe* look at Jinro, nicest guy in the world, he swears so much, remember the group ceremony? Naniwa is basically like Jinro in many ways, incredibly dedicated, funny, swedish(lol) so why wouldnt he fit in TL? I'm not saying he wouldn't fit in, just that he might not be that marketable, considering Liquid's reputation. I don't doubt that Naniwa is a nice guy, when I've seen him on SotG and TLattack I thought he was really funny, but I'm not sure he cares that much about what team he is in. He wants to be the best player in the world, and I'm not sure his team factors too much into that (aside from what they provide him what he feels he needs to become the best).

Wouldn't be surprised to see him go to a Korean team, but might have to wait until his results in this months GSL
