why is it that people assume TL is some 2nd tier team that cant afford top players? what about Sheth? he was in FXO...

why is it that people assume that money is the only thing that causes a contract to fall through when there are a billion possibilities ranging from travel expenses to foreign events(which TL has managed to cover just fine for all its players) to living arrangements in a top tier korean house (which TL also has)

people need to remember that TL has people like Ret and Sheth and TLO and Jinro who are top foreign players with a huge marketability. Stop assuming that they're broke. They ARE sponsored by one of the biggest hardware companies out there (Razer)

First of all, I don't know exactly which team Naniwa is joining.

What I do know, however, is that he isn't going to EG at least anytime in a near future. It's obviously up to you whether to believe me or not.

Lol, like every team is sponsored by Razer or some other hardware company... And i don't think the sponsorship dollar amounts are publicly announced, so why do you assume TL can afford to pay Naniwa?

Edit: And besides, Naniwa was already on one of the best foreign teams anyways, so I'm gonna assume he's joining a korean team.

Doubt Nani goes with a korean team. he strikes me as the type of player who wants money (meant to be a compliment), and I think he'd command a respectable amount on the market. so it would be smart of him to look at the big teams like col and EG and any other team that have big pockets.

I remember incontrol talking a while ago about how Naniwa was looking around at other teams because he knew that he could get a higher salary.

Sad to see him leave Dignitas Really hoping he joins a Korean team.

Maybe you should've read through the topic a bit more. Naniwa parted with dignitas also because they couldn't match his needs financially. Whether that was his salary, his travelling expenses or whatever. If a team like FXO can't pay him and even comments most teams won't be able to except for CoL or EG you can logically conclude naniwa has pretty high demands (which is reasonable imo) that liquid can't meet.

I think he will join a team with a partnership in korea ex. Tl-ogs Col.MVP. Its so hard now for Korean teams to send players around the world and Naniwa hits up tourneys around the world a lot.

Also, it can be assumed that Huk left Liquid because EG made him a deal that Liquid could not or would not. I doubt Huk would have left Liquid for the same money / benefits. So one can assume that Liquid obviously has some low to mid financial limitations.

who says that they cant? im not assuming either way. Im just saying, everyone and their mother assumes that TL cant afford star players. which is totally false, sure they cant compete with a multi team, super old(in terms of eSports) organization like EG.

BUT who's to say they cant compete with organizations like FXO and Dignitas? I'm just thinking we should stop just shutting possibilities down because of our assumptions of the budget of teams (which we have no idea of)

this entire thread I've only presented my opinion that Nani should join TL and defended my opinion (as well as defending nAni from people who decided to bring up his past bm)

but people seem to resort to the minimalistic argument of 'Money Rawr' or 'No Money rawr' to describe this situation in terms of teams possibly picking up Naniwa when human beings have much much more motivations then just money.

maslow's hierarchy of needs states that only the bottom 2 parts of the pyramid that is the needs of a human being for a happy and fulfilled life can be solved through monetary gain only.

Really hope he joins a Korean team and not a non korean team. Fenix is going to completely take off, just everyone wait and see. I expect the same will happen to Naniwa if he also joins a korean team (and protoss gets buffed).

coL haven't missed out on Stephano at all.

Back on topic, my guess is he'll join a Korean team, or possibly Liquid`. Either way, he'll be staying in Korea.
