Did anyone think that Nani would be willing to take a pay cut to stay in Korea? He wants to be the best, not the richest. | ||

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? haypro = old maphacker huk = notorious douche in bw and early sc2 nony = same as above in his early bw days My guess is TL couldn't care less what stupid things these players did when they were younger if they have displayed good sportsmanship/attitude for a long time and if TL think they would fit in with their team. | ||

Currently, he does seem to be in a bit of a mental slump regarding the state of Protoss though. HuK is in Code S (and he also got seeded into Code A), while Naniwa hasn't even made it out of the RO32 in Code A. They're pretty close in skill level but I'm not sure how you can say Naniwa is more determined and/or talented when his results are not as impressive as HuK's... (in the GSL, DH Summer, HSC III, etc.) - Naniwa outperformed at Blizzcon Qualifiers but HuK was a quite a bit jetlagged, and both do pretty well at MLGs nowadays. | ||

He will join MVP and therefore coL.MVP, then he will do what Guillaume Patry couldn't do: + Show Spoiler + Practice really hard.  | ||

Though Naniwa is undoubtely a great player, I don't know if he fits Liquid profile. I'm not saying he's BM or anything people, I know he's not. I just think Liquid players usually have a great involvement in the community and believe it or not I really think that is very important for TL when they're looking for a player. Yet they have Ret and HayprO on their team who do no interaction with the community. Ret at least posts results. Tyler, TLO, and Sheth have all done community events and podcasts and stuff in addition to having a lot of fans and a few decent results. If TL can justify keeping HayprO, Naniwa would be a no brainer assuming they could afford him. | ||

He could just join a Korean team but that could limit his ability to travel due to financial constraints. | ||
