I actually am not very surprised at these news.

Would love to see him in Liquid, but I guess that's not going to happen (would be a good fit for at least Nani, who want s to stay in Korea, I believe). (coL.)MVP is probably more likely, especially with the whole Stephano situation falling apart, and with him living there. Although it doesn't seem like Naniwa is in it for the money, so he might just go to a more prestigious team with not as much money.

Waiting for the reveal of his next team with great excitement. GL to both Naniwa and Dignitas!

Saw this coming ages ago :D Hopefully Nani won't join coL nor EG, I think a Korean team would be more beneficial for his needs
In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.

TSL_NaNiwa

Sad to hear about this. I am guessing because he wants to stay in Korea? Dignitas are still strong, I hope this wont affect the team too much.

Nani has said previously he wants to be the best, while Korea is lower salarys if he becomes the best he will earn a lot of cash anyway!!! Korean team or a foreign team who doesnt mind him staying in Korea!!!

for some reason im more psyche dover this then the HuK drama.... lol

Uhm, unless I'm horribly mistaken, doesn't he live in the StarTale house? It's probably ST_Naniwa

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.


Thanks for the info Boss. You're the man.

Not surprised at all, he wants to live in korea and it doesn't really make sense for a foreign team to fly him out of there every time.

Plus he was talking to korean teams 2 MLG ago, (source from twitter) so it was bound to happen.

I guess he is going to join col.

He can get a salary there and stay with MVP.

Seems like from the Dignitas statement and FXOpens comment, that Naniwa is looking for a significant raise in the money he is paid for playing for a team and Dignitas (even though they probably wanted to) couldnt commit to paying a player that much.

Obviously i could be wrong and this is all IMO.

He left the StarTale house because the StarTale manager thought he was only staying for a week I believe.

MVP_Naniwa! First!


No srsly: what the hell? I mean i dont like him very much but you have to admit that he is a good player. In my opinion they should get rid of bischu rather than naniwa.

considering FXO said they spoke to him, but won't be recruiting him, I think coL is the only logical choice.

I think Naniwa is worth a lot of money to a team, but teams like EG can't keep shelling out mega deals to players. They have to run out of money eventually and continually signing players like this may force out a lot of the players who aren't on par with the HuK's, Idra's and Puma's of the world.

There's only two ways coL doesn't sign him:
1) coL doesn't want him for some reason.
2) Naniwa doesn't care about foreign travel.

If he doesn't care about the foreign travel I think it will be much easier for a Korean team to sign him.
