This is Mark Ferraz, Founder & CEO of Quantic. I would like to officially state that Complexity's statements have been nothing but truthful about the official communications relating to the transfer. Jason Lake was the first person to approach me about the Naniwa trade. That being said, I believe NaNi was speaking with SaSe about the possibility at the same time and that has created the confusion in this situation. Complexity handled this matter as professionally as possible from my stand point and the numerous posts slinging mud in their direction are misguided. I hope this clears up the situation and everyone can now move on.
it would go a long way for you to reiterate this on reddit, if you haven't already.

oh wow didn't really take a look at this thread until now, first of all, I feel like people are way misguided here, Naniwa made 3 times as much as I do as far as salary goes, so no, obviously we're not the same. I don't know why Naniwa chose to use me as an example, but what he stated is simply false, and I doubt he was referring to salary. ofc they don't care the same way if he wins a big event than if i have a bunch of viewers on my stream.
I will tell you one more thing, I make 1/3 of what Naniwa makes in salary, but if Naniwa learned to behave, he'd make at least 6 times as much, unfortunately, he's been burning bridges since he started playing this game, and even before that, so no one will offer him the salary he deserves based off of the skill he has as a player, and as sad as it is, he knows that.
I consider Johan a friend and wish him the best of luck in QxG, truth is he has been trying to change for a long time, he has been trying to clear his PR a bit, he tries to bm less, gg more, be less rude in general, but his personality is what it is. He is picky, he is arrogant, he is many things that make him a difficult human being to work with, he is quick to be a smartass and be offensive at times, but he is also quickest to get offended. He as we all are, is a human with a lot of flaws. He is also a very honest person, and most of the time has tons of good intentions, but translating these into actions is hard for him. you know how as little kids everyone says w/e they want and do w/e they want and there's little to no repercussions, but then as you grow up you learn 'oh shit, that was the wrong way to approach this or that' or 'maybe i shouldn't say that' or 'trying to explain this will just cause more confusion', you know, like when a Jehovah's witness knocks on your door you don't tell them 'fuck off, you're wrong about everything you're saying' you're polite about it, then go back inside and rant 'it was just those annoying people trying to sell me their god again' well naniwa didn't learn most of those things, so he's stuck in the phase where he is incredibly hard to deal with. He's not a bad person, and once you get to know him and try to understand him a bit better, he's actually pretty cool, so, Johan, best of luck to you, I hope you find a home in QxG where you're at last comfortable and best of luck to QxG, please be patient and treat carefully!

Sounds like a great move for NaNi, glhfgg!

Really nice, James! Keep it up!

So he deserves 10% of it. :O

Thanks for posting your thoughts
This thread needs less speculation

Man, Naniwa really has the attitude of a true professional.
He's also lost a ton of weight since MLG Dallas! He really looks great!

Thanks for the post CatZ. This just again confirms that skill is not all that takes from a player to become an asset for a team.

I think he just meant they value exposure and community stuff more than actual results. Might not have been the best analogy.

You're a cool guy CatZ but was your post really necessary? The overall tone of your poorly written stub aside, essentially you're pretty much blatantly stating that Niniwa is an immature, arrogant, insecure, picky, offensive, stubborn "little kid" "who didn't learn most of those [social norms] things [as a kid]", who's incapable of translating his good intentions into actions and of changing himself?
That seems WAY out of line to me, no matter how much you feebly attempt to sugar coat it with a few meager positive qualities and feigned friendliness. If you really were a friend of Niniwa you wouldn't not have posted in the way you did; so don't lie (or, what a great friend you are, posting what you did about a friend on Teamliquid). My opinion of you as a person just sky dived quite a bit, I wish you appropriate karma for all your actions in the the future.

I respect Naniwa.
The guy needs to get social coaching though. You can't market a player like Naniwa if you are aiming at a general audience.
This exact philosophy among other things is why western esports has been a consistent failure for decades and why it's unsustainable past the initial bubble.
Everyone who thinks anything built solely on marketing and exposure can last long term is being delusional.

you clearly love the drama, read what i wrote as you choose and make as big a deal of it as you want, this is my opinion and I think naniwa's well aware of all of this, I don't think he is a bad person because of it but I think changing certain attitudes will help him not just in his gaming career but for the rest of his life, so sure, you can be the cool dood that 'supports' him and tells him "hey johan don't listen to anyone, you're doing everything right, just be yourself, the world must adapt to you not the other way arround and the 6 or so teams that you've joined since the game started were all wrong' you're a complete idiot. fact is he needs to change certain attitudes or he's fucked, so im not trying to sugarcoat anything, im being as honest as naniwa usually is, because he NEEDS to adapt to some extend in order to succeed and get what he deserves. that's all, im not commenting anymore on this thread, unfortunately there's too many idiots like yourself trying to cause friction and sound smart at all costs, fact is you don't know me, you don't know naniwa, you don't know complexity, you don't know qxg, you know what you read, and form your opinions from that, so more reading, less judging.

seems like naniwa wants more than 3x catz salary
I don't see a problem with this, to be honest.
One guy is known for piggybacking viewers off Destiny, other is known for owning the top of the top koreans. Clearly, the latter should be getting (wayyyy) more money?

I don't follow the BW scene that much, watch a few games now and then, but I'm kind of curious, what does a player like flash do in terms of marketing except being stupidly good?

oh wow didn't really take a look at this thread until now, first of all, I feel like people are way misguided here, Naniwa made 3 times as much as I do as far as salary goes, so no, obviously we're not the same. I don't know why Naniwa chose to use me as an example, but what he stated is simply false, and I doubt he was referring to salary. ofc they don't care the same way if he wins a big event than if i have a bunch of viewers on my stream.
I will tell you one more thing, I make 1/3 of what Naniwa makes in salary, but if Naniwa learned to behave, he'd make at least 6 times as much, unfortunately, he's been burning bridges since he started playing this game, and even before that, so no one will offer him the salary he deserves based off of the skill he has as a player, and as sad as it is, he knows that.
I consider Johan a friend and wish him the best of luck in QxG, truth is he has been trying to change for a long time, he has been trying to clear his PR a bit, he tries to bm less, gg more, be less rude in general, but his personality is what it is. He is picky, he is arrogant, he is many things that make him a difficult human being to work with, he is quick to be a smartass and be offensive at times, but he is also quickest to get offended. He as we all are, is a human with a lot of flaws. He is also a very honest person, and most of the time has tons of good intentions, but translating these into actions is hard for him. you know how as little kids everyone says w/e they want and do w/e they want and there's little to no repercussions, but then as you grow up you learn 'oh shit, that was the wrong way to approach this or that' or 'maybe i shouldn't say that' or 'trying to explain this will just cause more confusion', you know, like when a Jehovah's witness knocks on your door you don't tell them 'fuck off, you're wrong about everything you're saying' you're polite about it, then go back inside and rant 'it was just those annoying people trying to sell me their god again' well naniwa didn't learn most of those things, so he's stuck in the phase where he is incredibly hard to deal with. He's not a bad person, and once you get to know him and try to understand him a bit better, he's actually pretty cool, so, Johan, best of luck to you, I hope you find a home in QxG where you're at last comfortable and best of luck to QxG, please be patient and treat carefully! You're a cool guy CatZ but was your post really necessary? The overall tone of your poorly written stub aside, essentially you're pretty much blatantly stating that Niniwa is an immature, arrogant, insecure, picky, offensive, stubborn "little kid" "who didn't learn most of those [social norms] things [as a kid]", who's incapable of translating his good intentions into actions and of changing himself?That seems WAY out of line to me, no matter how much you feebly attempt to sugar coat it with a few meager positive qualities and feigned friendliness. If you really were a friend of Niniwa you wouldn't not have posted in the way you did; so don't lie (or, what a great friend you are, posting what you did about a friend on Teamliquid). My opinion of you as a person just sky dived quite a bit, I wish you appropriate karma for all your actions in the the future. Maybe the truth hurts? I think his point was that CatZ stirred the drama pot even more now : \ He seriously didn't need to write all that BM in there.
The truth can't be BM. If Naniwa really is how Catz described him than Catz did nothing wrong, he just said the truth. And Catz had the right to defend his point of view.

Yeah, but in Bw nobody did anything, so skill was the only way to make a difference. Now make a talk show about sc2 and you are more popular than no1.
