Thanks for the interview. There seems to be a large difference between what the two parties are saying on the matter. Regardless I'm still a fan of NaNiWa.

Why do they insist on having kicked out naniwa and would have even against his will, if Naniwa tells a completely different story (which already was part of his initial statement). Even if it was as coL described, wouldn't it have been much better publicity-wise to get their shit together beforehand and release one story without contradictions?
Well, who cares about coL anyway, good luck in the future, nani.


Becuase Complexity keep losing all there star players. Kiwi,Destiny, Stephano now Naniwa its bad PR and they knows it.

Naniwa beat 3 players at MLG to get second. The system let him get that far. I'd bet a lot of money if he had to go through that open bracket like Leenock did, he would have never came close to that place.

He beat Nestea in the most controversial series ever, Huk who hasn't won a PvP in ages and DRG. Then got stomped by Leenock.

I don't know why he gets so much hype. Can't wait to see his GSL performance.

Is complexity always trying to make players look bad, just because they dont want to be with them anymore? Im starting to see a pattern here

Are you serious? Beating Nestea, controversial or not, Huk and DRG is not impressive? Christ. I'd like to see your foreign dream team.

It's a little confusing that coL implies they were actively trying to get rid of him and then Naniwa completely contradicts this. Someone's lying and is going to look stupid. I don't even know what coL's motivation was in revealing that in the first place honestly, as it doesn't really achieve much but stir up drama. Better off just presenting it as a mutual decision rather than making vague insinuations and leaving it to the TL forums to fill in the details.

Are you kidding me? He beat both MVP and Nestea (twice) at MLG + DRG and Huk.

I didn't understand

"It is the same for them if CatZ hits 5k viewers on his stream or that I place 2nd at an MLG and I did not agree with that point of view"


Someone want to explain that to me? what does Catz have to do with it?

He also lost to Cloud and DRG at Dreamhack. And almost lost to Ciara I believe. He barely even made it out of his group.

I honestly predict he will get last in his GSL group, especially considering it'll be Bo3's, drop to Code A, then be eliminated the following season.

Let's remember he has yet to win a game in the GSL and has been utterly outclassed in those games against Lucky.

What he's trying to say is that complexity rewards exposure as much as performance. So if CatZ gets that many viewers and they all see CoL's sponsors, it's worth just as much as Naniwa getting 2nd in a huge tournament.

You can nitpick any players matches and find some bad games. If we do the same to Idra. Idra lost 3 games to no names at WCG and is stuck in masters in Korea at a 50% win ratio wow he must be so horrible!! trollface

Now plz stop the hate

I'm not talking about the global invitational. Nestea also lost a game to Idra, Kiwikaki and two to Haypro. He clearly was not playing anywhere near his best. And the last time Huk won a PvP in a best of x was in Orlando. That's a long time ago.

you could also say code s players would never make it up to code S if they would have to make it through code A everytime. But thats how the system works and Naniwa was a runner up pretty much the same way like Lennock, so its a bad example to say he wouldn't be able to do it .

I'm not saying he's horrible, I'm saying he's way over rated. As is Idra, but that's another argument.

Yea, I was thinking that too.

I wonder if the contract actually had a clause that allowed them to "sell" naniwa without his consent. That's a weird thing to have in a contract.

I also want to be clear this was not a mutual decision. This was solely compLexity's decision to do this. We were going to sell the contract to someone and we are happy that Naniwa and Quantic were able to come to terms.
