Thank you to StarTale, UpCloseGamers, JBanks for the interview! I like Naniwas honesty and his determination and mind goals are unique.
NaNiwa - The Dragonslayer with the eye of the tiger! FIGHTINGGGGGGGGGGG !!!!
I cannot wait for Blizzard Cup, even if it does not go awesome for him I know that he will be back stronger than ever. I cannot wait for his debut in Code S !!
I still remember his tweet (saying more or less the following) "Fuck my life, I will train harder than ever" :D, so awesome.

Really good interview, cleared up a lot of stuff and shut down some assumptions that could easily have been made. Keep on praccing and ripping up dem tournies. Nani hwaiting! We'll keep on rooting for ya
|
Really good interview. Clears a lot of stuff up. And it appears that naniwa is really trying to clean up his image a bit, he had really good answers to all the questions.
Also, I never noticed Naniwa has a tattoo O.o
|
How does this interview clear anything up? If anything it raises more questions because it's contradicting everything col has stated.

Being from Sweden clearly isn't biasing you at all.

I agree with naniwa,kinda fucked up that the runner up of MLG gets less/same attention to a guy that gets 5k stream viewers.

behave in public?
you kidding?
no, no and no.
They had a difference of opinion and from the sound of it they were getting ready to renegotiate a new term. Nani's got a lot of results in the last few months, so it's the perfect timing for him. Sounds like a money issue to me and approach to business.
Speculation, speculation. So he wasn't happy in the MVP house.
Big whoop.
You cannot use one approach when it comes to managing players. I have no problem with Jason Lake. I've seen his previous interviews and he's been around for quite some time. Good guy, unfortunately this business endeavor didn't work out for the two parties. It is what it is.
Not much else to say.

Not much else to say. i don't understand what you tried to say here. difference in opinion in what? do no think complexity did not inform of their plans on korean and standards of behaving in public when they acquired Naniwa? Complexity sold their contract, which means that Naniwa's salary was decided before he entered the team. So there should be no money issues to speak of.

Being from the US clearly means you are biased in favour of coL.
That's how ridiculous your "attack" is. Stop being a tool, man.
Personally I wish NaNi the best of luck. Dunno, but coL just seems really bad guy like in this scenario. Why pick up a guy who hasn't changed in the past month? They knew what they were getting into and likely fear bad PR which is why they must go to Reddit and dump posts. I won't buy the "attitude" thing, really. If it was NaNi's fault there'd be something to it, or at least they'd mention something instead of going "HE DID BAD SHIT. BUT I RESPECT HIM, SO I WILL NOT SAY ANYTHING MORE". Sad part is a ton of people fall for it..:/

That is why would a team want to buy a contract of a player who doesn't want to play for them? I don't think Nani cares what team he's on so long as he can stay in Korea and train, and so long as that team continues to send him to tourneys.
I was referring to the Lake quote where he said (I hope the quote was accurate ) that Naniwa didn't actually have a choice in the matter. It seems a bit like an empty statement to me considering Naniwa was the "product" he was selling and it seems quite clear to me that his worth to a team is very much influenced by how much he wanted to be a part of it. In the end there are not many teams that can support a player in Korea (I can't think of any realistic ones besides Quantic to be honest as FXO is apparently out).
Seems like quite empty huff-puff from Jason at this point. Sure he could've ditched him at a loss but if he says that's what he wanted to do then he would quite clearly been lying. Naniwa's opinion on the matter played quite a big role on where he ended up.
PS. The are theoretical contractual possiblities where this logic would be invalid, but they seem quite unlikely to me at the moment.

I don't get why every time there's a Nani thread, it gets derailed into hatred towards him, and always by Americans/Canadians. Plenty of them turn out to be IdrA fanboys who are actually bashing Nani for being bm (wtf). And then the Swedes who defend him are called nationalistic x_X. P.S. You have fans from outside of Sweden who will also always support you Nani <3. Now go get top8 Code S !!!

nani fighting! he'll be a champion no matter where he goes. if he thinks the st house is better for him to improve, then everything else be damned.
|
Naniwa clearly made a good decision. If living at MvP house was depressing for him, obviously thats not a good environment. No one really has any right to criticize him over it, and very few can say hes overrated when you look at his accomplishments.

Go Naniwa!!!

Or is it because Col didn't cite any reason for the transfer( no, those "he does not fit into our core value and future goal" kind of crap are not REAL reasons), while at the same time continuously hinting negativity on Naniwa?
Whether you believe him or not, Naniwa came out and stated all the reasons behind the transfer, and he did not shit on complexity.
You cant say that for the other side.

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.
You do know he beat Neastea and MVP the day before the actual MLG right? And he didnt really get "stomped" by Leenock (The second place gsl winner :: )

Sadly, as we all have seen for a long time, one doesn't exclude the other.
