Please make sure to read the statement from Naniwa that is linked in the full article before commenting. |
Soo I read only 3-4 pages and sorry if it was asked before but :
was the transfer sum made public? I'm kinda curious what type of money is required to buy a contracted player in E-sports

No, those numbers won't get released.

I like what Naniwa did to NesTea @ MLG and I liked when MC put on his Murlock suit to piss off Idra. I also like when Idra rages. Nothing wrong with that IMO, in real sports this is happening ALL THE TIME, yet no one brands professional athletes with the mark of the devil.
Smart marketing can turn it around and cast that type of [miss]behavior in a good light, and most importantly bring in more viewers to popularize e-sports. If they want mannered people to join their teams, perhaps they should start looking for them in a Church ... or something.

This is great! Drama free player trades! Sc2 could do withh more of them. I am glad teams are respecting each other and doing good business. Best of luck to naniwa and i cant wait to see who the big name player is that complexity wants. So far they almost managed to get root and stephano and have nabbed naniwa and qxc so when they something big is coming i believe them.

It's for the fan's enjoyment. When a player openly bashes someone, flips the middle finger at someone, etc, that's just to cause anger, basically BM. It's extremely different situations, in extremely different contexts. The latter just shows how little most foreigner players know of showmanship in comparison to their korean counterparts, probably because the korean scene as a whole is so experienced at being public, again in comparison to the foreigners. NO.Kamehameha at someones booth, isn't that just as bad as doing thumbs down? MC pounded on DRGs booth in the GSTL.IdrA already said he was playing along with MC when he flipped his finger. If you take the finger flipping so seriously then perhaps you should do the same with the throat slash. Lemme act like you for a sec here... OMG MC DID THROAT SLASH TO IDRA? HE WANTS TO KILL HIM IRL WTF. Given how socially awkward Naniwa is you can't expect his "ceremony" to look super natural as all the koreans do in their ceremonies. First everybody thinks Naniwa is boring and bland. He does something funny, gets flamed! That's the SC2 community for you... I think the most funny thing about this "OMG Naniwa BM'd Nestea!!!!! is that during the Korea vs World event, White-ra thumbs-down MC. And NOONE said anything about that.
White-ra is too mannered to do a thumbs-down. Instead he did an upside-down thumbs-up.

This is hardly drama free, considering what Jason Lake supposedly put on Reddit.

I read both statements and i guess Naniwa is a nightmare in the "locker room." I don't find it particularly sad that this didn't work out with CoL because it never was meant to, just like it won't with QxG, unless SaSe can control Naniwa. Its not that he is a bad person, just it seems like, a bit immature and not a great team persona (see the, i believe, MLG finals between him and Leenock) The fact that Naniwa says he is lonely and the one of the most powerful gaming companies won't send out people to be with him may be due to the same thing that either A) they want him to mature in Korea where the game scene is much more strict B) they don't want to expose teamates to the rage, much like the jokes people were making about HuK and Idra being together in EG.
EDIT: apparently it was NesTea, not Leenock
|
As long as Naniwa keeps keeps kicking ass and staring through his opponent's souls I don't care what team he's on.
|
woah..this was sudden. what is going on
|
lol
Naniwa and Major should form a team. I don't know what for or why but they should.

Yeah you are very much right on the spot. Just for example If Idra would flip someone and Artosis said "omg he is such a bad ass Idra!" - everyone would be - _Yeah ok he is bad ass i can go with that_
If Naniwa would flip somone and Artosis said "omg he is so bad maner" - everyone would just right away start hating on Naniwa.
Simple idea how you can twist things around.

I like Naniwas statement. Best of luck to him. He's a great player I hope he can prove all the haters wrong.

Damnit I wish we had real e-sports journalists to get into what really happened. Either Jason Lake is a douche (unlikely) or Naniwa highly offended the team somehow (how?). or Naniwa wanted a team that was focused on Korea and could provide him with not only companionship but also high level practice partners. Something that Col., objectively, could not do? Yall just can't even consider a non epeen drama filled scenario can you ? >_>
Yeah I guess that could be an option... if they weren't sending tri-master over. Thing is Naniwa is by far their most high profile player. To sell him off with such animosity from Lake at that means something big has probably happened.

It was not. The guy behind quantic was interviewed togheter with destiny and sase on FUCK SLASHER before and he had quite resonable reasons. Also Naniwa and Nestea talked after that incident and seemed to be fine+Naniwa later clarified that he didn't think Nestea was stupid, that was just him failing with how he said things, just that he made a stupid move at a specific time in a game against him.

he really has an "in the zone attitude" and that's when you can't talk sense to him.. but I completely understand..
