How do teams earn money with their players? Do they get payed to attend to tournaments? Cause only by prize earnings i can't see it happening.

The tone of Dignitas' announcement really sounds as though they did not part on the best of terms.

I knew that NaNi wanted a better contract after he saw what EG offered HuK. I bet there will be some team where NaNi gets what he wants. :x

Maybe this has something to do with the Khaldor announcement a few weeks ago about a european player joining an american team?

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.

I'm not implying that I am really informed or anything, I'm just a fan speculating. I think his financial requirements for joining a foreign team and joining a Korean team are different. Despite the fact that FXO is the foreign team that's most established in Korea (not counting Liquid-OGS) it's still a foreign team and can't provide a team house full of the best-of-the-best koreans. So he's going either for a mediocre wage with perfect practicing conditions OR an insanely lucrative offer from a foreign team.
Yeah, whatever

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.


They didn't drop him they just couldn't make an agreement on the contract. Either it be pay or staying longer in Korea we don't know yet, but they didn't kick him off the team.

btw he won't join a Korean Team, because he wants money and he won't get that at a Korean Team.

There are many koreans that are much better. Aren't they getting more than him?
So they should have the financial requirements?

O.O I could see NaNiwa joining mouz-- he's good friends with ThorZaIN. I think he'll join a Korean team, though. That would be in his best interest.
