This is just disgusting. Very nice pickup from complexity. Wonder where there large boost of income came from to pick up all these players.

I saw that coming since Dignitas announced they parted away. Nice pickup from compLexity.
I wish good luck to both parties.

Everyone at compLexity Gaming is thrilled to announce that we have added world-class StarCraft 2 star Johan "Naniwa" Lucchesi to coL.SC2.

Dignitas owner Michael O`Dell has released Johan from the remainder of his contract and allowed him to sign with us today. Mr. O`Dell stated, "Team Dignitas chose not to re-sign Naniwa because we feel he no longer fits into our team. We have released him and wish him the best in the future."

"Naniwa has proven himself to be one of the best StarCraft 2 players in the world," stated Jason Lake, CEO of compLexity Gaming. "We have spent the past couple weeks in long discussions with him and we're confident his amazing dedication and work ethic will reap great rewards in the future. We're very excited to have him join our organization."

For the foreseeable future Johan will reside in the Team MVP house in Korea.

Once Naniwa heard that Stephano was staying in France, Naniwa wanted to back out of the Complexity deal and stay with Dignitas, but Dignitas can't afford to renew his contract anymore because they'd already planned on Naniwa going to coL and has reassigned those funds to acquiring teamless SaSe.

There's clearly something not being said by Dignitas. I wonder why he "doesn't fit into [their] team"? Sounds like some sort of disagreement.

I think dignitas just don't wanna say: "well the guy kinda wants to stay in korea for a long time, and we a) don't feel like flying him to events from korea and b) can't really support him well in korea anyways". So instead you get the usual "he kinda doesn't fit on our team anymore and we like didn't even ask him if he wants to renew his contract with us".
At the end of the day the important part is: Naniwa gets to practice with great people in MVP house, which is what he wants anyways, and coL gets a really good foreign protoss.

I'm glad it worked out for NaNiwa, getting to stay in Korea, living and practicing with a top tier Korean team.

Dignitas blatenly saying that they wern't interested in renewing NaNiwa's contract (Bass on Lo3) should be explained further tho.

It's a really good week for both Nani and Major. I hope they get to stay long in Korea, it's such an awesome country!

Im really sad for Dignitas to lose such a player, who grew from a maverick into a top tier talent under their guidance - but I am just happy EG didn't pick him up.

Best of luck to Naniwa.

Great pick-up, but not surprised. Pretty sure everyone was guessing he'd be heading to coL.Mvp, the team having cash lying around and a strong foreign presence in Korea..

"... no longer fits into our team" ? What a lousy attempt to save face.

That said congrats to Naniwa and I'm glad he gets to practice with MVP. Their team looks like tons of fun.

Well that was rather unexpected. Strange for a team to say a player no longer fits in to their team like that o.O
