Well... this was unexpected, i guess after reading NaNiWa:s ststement he wanted friends which were easier to communicate with. I still wonder though why NaNiWa transfered to CoL in the firstplace if that was the case.
Well GL to all the parties involved.
The owner of QxG must have alot of money.
I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger, then it hit me.

Why dont you read Jason Lake's reddit post first.


Reading this does not free you from reading Naniwas statement as well.. this post came up way later. You always have to take both sides into account to form an oppinion that should be taken serious. Don´t know what you try to accomplish..

Well, it's a pure NA team now! http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/CompLexity.
And who are they going to pick up now? I don't see any top player joining coL atm, maybe some mouz player. Any top EG player isn't buyable . And Liquid players seems to be so loyal to their team.


I hope they do not pick up a player from mouz, liquid, EG or any other big teams. I would appreciate it much more if teams were looking for new talent and developing that instead of buying established players.

I find it seriously annoying that almost none poster from at least 6 pages of posts did not read Naniwa statement.
People are so eager to judge not even bothering to find out anything about the topic.
To be honest i am really happy for Naniwa - he is one of the most focused on his goals guy in SC2. Quantic with open approach to players will be perfect for him. Especially that they want to support players in Korea.

As for Jason Lake statement - in my eyes(aka my personal opinion) - he is one of those guys who will twist words enough that things will look like he is the only good guy in whole world. Never been a big fan of complexity. Im not into this whole _false core values_ . Also complexity is to be honest mediocre team with decent players but no real top of the top. So i think whole change will go only better for Naniwa.

Naniwa fighting!



There is no possible word twisting I see as possible in Jason Lake's statement, unless you think he's straight up lying. Either TriMaster would not be going to Korea or Naniwa would not have been aware of it, neither of these would be "twisting words", it's either true or false.

Lake's statement considers, this is kind of disappointing on Naniwa's part. Apparently Dignitas wasn't keen on renewing his contract and Complexity sells it after a short duration, doesn't seem like the easiest guy to have on a team.


Forgive me - I might used bad wording. What I ment is whole situation. He is very good at doing PR. They always try to bring situation in favor of complexity. Which is understandable - You want your brand/team to look as good as it can.

well ofc...EG does the same thing (but worse IMO) and that's why alot of people don't like them now.

Anyway, don't really see drama here. Naniwa wanted people to stay and practice with in Korea, and CoL wasn't going to give him that.


Once again, what makes you think coL wasn't going to give him that? They were giving him that so far. There is no statement saying, "Naniwa wasn't fine with being pulled out of Korea" or from Naniwa saying, "They wanted to pull me out of Korea".

Well, that was quick. I thought coL will keep Nani for awhile.

I'm expecting coL will pickup a big player soon, but I have no idea who.

Complexity seems very very strict in terms of player policies and what not. Good for them, and I hope Nani likes Quantic, it seems it would suit him better.

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.


http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/n59w3/complexity_sells_naniwa_contract_to_quantic_gaming/c36d1v7


And people keep saying "read nani's statement first" when it's obvious that complexity kicked him out.


Because they should read it before riding Nani for being ''kicked out'' - it was the single extra piece of info available at the time and people decided to not read it, remember I only posted the CoL statement like 10 minutes ago.

Furthermore, his contract was sold, he wasnt kicked out. Big difference.

Anyways, I much prefer Quantic to CoL and was kinda disappointed when Nani joined Complexity, I'd be his fan no matter what team he is in but this is pretty sweet, hope it works out in the long run.

Nani fighting!

You obviously didn't even read his post. Wow


No, I posted it and didnt even read it, lol.

Maybe you should re-read my post before replying.

People were assuming he was kicked out for a whole 10ish pages refusing to read NaNi's statement on the matter when it was the only extra piece of information available, that is all I am pointing out.

OP forgot to include naniwas 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!”

"he does not share the core values of XXX"

NaNi should try to do something about his personality.
