IMNaniwa would be awesome but i dont believ it they can´t afford him, korean salarys are still very very low, quite funny because they have the best players by far. Sad move Diginitas got 2 of my favorite players with nani and select.

Surely its EG, or some big European team (Mouz? I have no idea, don't follow the Euro teams well enough). I say this only because i don't feel like the Korean teams have the money to sign a Naniwa. Unless he's here purely for the training and environment, in which case the loss of money would be completely worth it. I feel like performance is more his goal, so IM or SlayerS would make a lot of sense. Hell any team probably would.

0_0 It'll be hard to see Naniwa as NOT being a part of Dignitas... I was so used to it...

Hopefully the parting was amicable and he gets to join a Korean team.

What O_O

Certainly did not see that one coming, especially with Select being in korea right now.

Well given that Nani said repeatedly that he plans on staying in korea long term, I guess we can expect him to join a korean team.

I don't wanna pull the "Liquid`[newly_released_player]" meme, but if Naniwa wants to stay in Korea and if he doesn't want to join a Korean team I think Liquid really is the best deal for him. The oGs partnership practically shuts down the need to join an actual Korean team.

If liquid can't keep huk I highly doubt they can take on Naniwa. He's prob asking for similar deals as Huk.

We have spoken to NaNiWa and we will not be recruiting him.

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.

FXO is so classy and open, I love it. I hope you guys the best, I really want SC and QXC treat them well!

Liquid Naniwa?EG Naniwa?Col Naniwa? Or maybe he doesn´t give a shit about salary and joins IM or Slayers.

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.

id wait a couple of hours with this news, in light of recent Millenium/Col things, they might still change their minds afterall...

Serious note though, really unexpected for me. Thought dignitas and Naniwa were a really good match together. I do hope Naniwa moves to a korean team and positions himself full time there. He has what it takes to be the best.
