I'd like to know who QxG will be partnering up with in Korea because I think it will be crucial for them to find a great team with the right environment for QxG's players to improve and stay competitive, especially in Korea. Personally I hope it isn't ST, partly because I don't feel they have the right players and also because the little I've heard about the team mentions the practice schedule etc. not being very strict. Still really sad QIM is no more

Anyway gl to Naniwa, hope he likes it wherever QxG ends up and that living with Sase makes them both even more motivated to practice more and have fun in their quest for greatness

They sold his contract because naniwa didn't want to be a part of complexity anymore. His descision? Yes, indirectly. Read naniwa's note before posting like the mod edit says.

I get why are people so pissed off at the anonymous source, but that doesn't mean I agree with them. Anonymous sources are a necessity in journalism. If it weren't for Deep Throat, an anonymous source, the whole Watergate scandal might not have seen light. Granted, ESFI isn't as credible as the NYTimes, but from their interviews thus far and what they say I trust they put that quote from the anonymous source for a reason and that the source actually knows what he's talking about.

Jason Lake said that Trimaster is going to koreaa soon (on reddit) and that he was going to be transferred regardless of what he wanted.

Naniwa may 'agree' with it but the decision was Complexity's in the end.




That's fine for saying 'he's a pain to deal with'. But to say something as aggravating as 'he should seek mental help' and hiding behind an anonymity, THAT'S wrong. And ESFI is in the wrong too, seeing how they decided to publish something like that.

I don't really like Naniwa but it's just unprofessional to publish something like that.

Every newspaper (quality, no quality, shit quality and bullshit quality) has used anonymous sources at one time or another. And every newspapers brings in opinions in some articles.

Newspapers protect their sources like a leprechaun protecting it's pot of gold.

It's true though, the article does have some sensationalism. But, if you want SC2 to be big and huge, you have to accept the less cool stuff.

I have one small question that keeps nagging at me. What could Nani have possibly done that was enough to piss off Col (since Mr. lake said the contract sale was non negotiable) enough to trade him away but not bad enough to void the contract outright? We know professional athletes have behaviour and morality clauses that can get them fined and even dropped from teams with no repercussions to the team holding them to contract terms. I'm pretty sure it's been implied that Complexity has something along those lines in their contracts ( Destiny's did ) and they have been known to drop teams under their banner for behaviour and professionalism issues before.

For a company as old and experienced as complexity I don't understand how they ended up in a situation with a player who'd done something not severe enough to void his contract and yet still something that made a proven winner with a lot of potential intolerable to the point that he needed to be removed from the team. I'm not looking for some sort of scandal here ( I'd prefer less drama not more) I just can't figure out what sort of behaviours fall into the range of " bad enough he absolutely has to go but not bad enough we can cut him with no legal repercussions.

That said I really hope this all just sort of blows over quickly and everyone goes their seperate ways without any more fuss. I want the players and organizations that I like and support to be happy and to only have to focus on producing good starcraft 2 content.

Personally I think it's more for public image reasons than anything. It looks better for Col to "transfer" Naniwa over getting hated on for firing him. That's just my take on it though.
