Not nearly as bad, I'd consider HuK a lot less BM although he hasn't always acted in the smartest way (though I wouldn't call it BM). He was also a contributor to the community and I can't see Naniwa being that.

I think TL is going in the direction of signing players with good reputation in the community and with a lot of skill (see: Sheth).

And HuK would've stayed on TL had TL offered him similar money, or I believe so (from what TL has said). What makes you think TL can offer Naniwa the salary he wants if they couldn't afford to keep HuK?

???
So I guess one level of BM is... acceptable as long as it isn't another level of... BM?
And... what contributions...? girl blog posts...?

And yeah that's the point i was making, TL couldn't match EG's offer.

Doesn't seem that unexpected to me. I think Naniwa would really love to join a Korean team. And I think the Korean teams would be a little crazy not to want him.

hmmm, mouz would make sense...maybe liquid is looking to replace Huk?

edit: although they have hero now...

Mouz doesn't make much sense. Why would he chose a team that have 0 players in Korea or plans of it (as far as I know)?

I'd say Liquid`Naniwa though I can see Nazgul not wanting to sign him. Other than that I think it would be the best deal for him.

o.o

Why wouldn't he want to sign him?

For the most part, he's just really really really passionate about winning.

Liquid usually is very strict in signing players regarding their personality and value to the community. Though Naniwa is undoubtely a great player, I don't know if he fits Liquid profile.

troll?? have you ever heard Nani speak? ever? he has like the most awesome personality, watch SotG episode 41, hes hilarious, look at the DH Valencia picture, he has a great sense of humour; look at Thorzain and naniwa TL attacks. nani would be an AWESOME addition to TL. hey, hey, Nazgul...MOAR SWEDES PLZ :D lol

Umm...

Not showing up to TSL Finals party after losing to Thorzain
Complaining about close map position at EU Blizzcon Qualifiers after losing to Ret (and going "hehe" when he scouts the close pos)

And those are the recent ones when he was part of Dignitas (not even the ones long before). Just because he's hilarious (just like Idra) doesn't mean he's BM and a bad fit for TL. Also if they were gonna shell out the money for Nani they would've just found a way to keep HuK, I'm pretty sure Naniwa is going to command a salary at a comparable level.

im not saying he's BM at all, close positions on shattered temple is ridiculous, not going to the party after getting 2nd place, maybe he was sad? disappointed? tired? hes not BM, and i honestly think hed take a regular salary for a chance to train in a good pro house in kore (OGS-TL) since he wants to be the best above all else. he is always mad at himself when he takes 2nd, THATS how dedicated he is to this game

Uhh he was pretty BM before (do you have short memory?). He's an exceptional player but that doesn't mean he's a good fit for TL.

people CHANGE, he was bm a long time ago when he was hitting a very rough patch in his life, he said in an interview that he was angry and depressed at life and took it out on his opponents and that he realized that that was the wrong thing to do and that he would behave properly now because of the chances he was given by both Empire and Dignitas

User was warned for this post

Why was this guy warned ? :/

I honestly have no idea.
Anyway, I hope a good team pick him up, he deserves as much.

The Team House is in San Francisco I believe. How does this help Nani who wants to stay in Korea?

Sometimes you can't always everything you want, sometimes you take the money. SlayerS still needs to bolster their non-Terran lineup IMO and apparently have decent funding.

I don't think it would be EG, maybe but they already have an excellent Protoss in Huk (even if I think Naniwa is better) and I just can't see the sponsors shelling out for Idra, Huk, Puma and Naniwa. While not having details on the contracts, I assume are making decent money.

i hope it's not EG, they always got that negative taste to it.

the best for nani would probably be coL.MVP since he can stay in the MVP house and some players there can talk a decent english. think of DRG

nani teaming up with genius.. what a dream!

8 month contract, which expired today. Seems like there was probably negotiations up to this point, so I would assume it's a money issue/training in Korea issue. I'm mostly leaning towards EG as a good place for him to go because they will have the house in Korea and should be able to fly him out for foreign events. And EG seems like they want to be the team with the best players (and to an extent, best foreigners) outside of Korea.

TL I would love you 10 fold if you picked up Nani. He never used to be the type of player TL would pick up, but he has seemed like has changed for the better.

I'm pretty sure it's a team who actually live together, Artosis did a tour of their team house a while back.

NSHoSeo is a team
NSP is a clan (Bomber, Genius, Jiakji come to mind)
HoSeo is a University, which sponsors the team, some (if not most?) of the players are also studying there and only a few live in the house, which is in the university iirc

really hope nani finds a good team that supports his attitude and enables him to live his dream, I could see him go to a korean team as well as TL/Col/Fnatic

He might despise EG, but he's right

he might be right but there is not much of a difference with some practice games with korean team and communication issues and the korean ladder. with EG house in korea with puma, huk, idra. nani will have communication and the korean ladder yea nani will miss the little korean team practice.

Naniwa has a lot of fans, I think people really like that sheer determination in him. That's his appeal, it works and it's kind of unique.

Me too. NaNiwa is like a more determined and more talented version of HuK IMO. HuK talks big a lot but NaNiwa actually performs. Currently, he does seem to be in a bit of a mental slump regarding the state of Protoss though.

umm from what FXO.Boss posted I actually got the opinion they didnt come to an agreement not that they didnt want him

if they would really want him he would get him... remember Boss bought Fou. Buying Naniwa shouldnt be a problem if he really wanted him

I doubt this is all that much about Naniwa getting a better offer as him wanting to stay in Korea, Dignitas does not have that much of an interest in Naniwa staying in Korea. (Dignitas sponsors wants to be visible in europe/NA, not Korea)
