My understanding of Naniwa is that he is very good and works very hard to be the best, but isnt the easiest to talk to. But I only have this understanding from watching his interviews and how he acts infront of the camera etc. Good luck to you Naniwa.

I guess his team-switch makes sense since he is a bro-toss with SaSe..

But I will literally shit bricks if he can stay into Code S. He is 0-6 in the Code A which means he lost that spot 3 times, and Im pretty sure everybody will prepare properly and seriously and not understimate him after the MLG performance. I guess all KR players have heard about him for now.

Ha interesting. Don't really know what he wants from Quantic as he wants to stay in korea and coL has MVP while Quantic has nothing right now, I doubt he wants to stay in the gom house long term.

Oh well gl to both parties, good deal for quantic, + Show Spoiler +
depending on up/downs they might have the only white guy in code s now.

its nice to see nani making a choice to spend time with one of his friends, rather than just being part of a big organization

From Jason Lake on reddit:

We're sending TriMaster to Korea any week now and Johan is well aware of that. I'm not going to get into a public argument and wish him the very best but this was a one way decision. His contract was being sold (to Quantic or someone else) whether he approved or not.

He states his own reason if you go to the link in the op.

And from what I've seen he seems to be very easy to talk to. The problem seems to be almost every single interview and whatever is obviously when he's at a tournament, which means he's in tournament mode.

He is an amazing talent but we have come to discover that he does not share the core values of compLexity and felt it was best for both parties to part ways.

Feels like a solid idea to make sure that you both have the same interests and goals and so on before signing someone. Oh well. I love Nani, and Quantic seems serious about SC2, so it's all good to me. Good luck to everyone involved.

+ Show Spoiler [Nani's statement] +
“I know I might get criticized by fans and haters for switching teams, but what Quantic had to offer was simply better and much more similar to what my visions are for my career. With Quantic I will have the opportunity to live with SaSe and that will for sure help me a lot. He’s not just a good player but a very dear friend of mine and it will be fun and interesting to play in the same team as him.

I was not a good fit in Complexity because I was all alone in Korea, and they had no plans to send any more of their players here for a long time. I may come off as a cold person in interviews and with the way I act in general, but I get lonely quite easily. Living with other people who speak English and being around StarTale (who embraced me with open arms when I first came to Korea) is an exciting prospect for me. If my time within Quantic goes as well as I think it will, then you can bet I won’t be moving teams again. Thanks to all my fans! Continue to support me in the future please!”

Lol, ok it seems to be have happened some stuff behind the scenes we are not aware of. Might be the reason they left out Nani's statement on in the op.

Kicking out/Letting go of a Code S foreigner is an insane decision from Complexity, there must have been an amazing justification for it.



lol he isnt in Code S, you so silly.

Ah this all makes sense now! This is why they first split with IM last week!! IM didn't want anything to do with Naniwa so they had to split prior to buying off Naniwa!

Okaay. Jason's reddit post changes things. Nani must have effed up or something for them to want to get rid of him.
