I'm not a very big fan of Naniwa but you're saying really weird things here. This is basically like saying IdrA's attitude has nothing to do with his popularity.
Why don't you think people could love Naniwa for those same reasons?
he's a very straightforward person - check
he's very determined and practices alot - check
has attitude and likes to joke around with rivalries - check
awkward walk - look at IdrA's walk at NASL finals - check
Sure, Naniwa might have bigger anger problems and such at the moment but you should know that IdrA has had for a while too, it's just recently (last 6 months or so) he's been getting more mannered.

I hope its Moon i've been impressed with his play considering he also is practicing WC3 at the same time.... He came 2nd place at 3 major Tournaments. All with Notable Players.
|
EG didn't try to pick up Naniwa after he left dignitas. If they weren't interested then, why would they be now after all the drama? Especially since Naniwa has got a contract with Quantic now and probably would have to be bought out.
|
Actually, reading in this speculation thread, I reckon it'll be someone quite left-field: Xigua actually looks quite promising - they can break into the China market as well!

I dont think I'm saying weird things at all. IdrA's perception is vastly different from Naniwas. IdrA does a fantastic job of promoting EG and sponsors. You can tell he takes the marketing aspect very seriously. He quickly memorized all his sponsors and is like a machine in interviews when it comes to listing off sponsors and promoting his team. And the popular opinion is that hes a great interview, very well spoken and very confident (you can disagree here too but the popular opinion stands). He also does a great job of pimping his teammates. He once called lzgamer one of the best terrans in NA, he immediately embraced Huk etc. This is the quite of team loyalty and comradeship that team managers enjoy. Naniwa has been known to yell at teammates and Ive never seen him enthusiastically promote any of his teams, you can make an argument for quantic but I think its too soon to say.
You thought IdrA's walk was awkward? I thought it was confident. We can agree to disagree here.
And I didnt say that that Naniwas problem is not practice, not being blunt, and not being able to joke with rivals. Maybe you should re-read my post. His problem are his interview skills and his reputation for being a bad teammate.

well, it might only be me, but when he said that "if it wasnt for quantic's support (regarding all the recent drama) i would have quited sc2" it really showd me that quantic is a caring and supportive team, and... well... i guess you can call that promoting ? dunno, but when he said it i saw the team in new light 
Also You thought IdrA's walk was awkward? I thought it was confident. We can agree to disagree here.

Agreed, I like what naniwa said about quantic and I think he might be able to turn over a new leaf. But keep in mind, quantics support for him after the probe rush was admirable as well.. and if naniwa treated them badly after that.. well you know.
Lol how dare you post that, you IdrA fan traitor =p
Jk ofcourse. who do you think the new player is?
|
Would be surprised to see JYP, i think hongun would be more likely and a really good addition to the team. Awesome player and can teach the team a lot.
|
Naniwa just stated on Destiny's stream that it's JYP
|
Yeah JYP. ST knows about it.
|
Anyway good pick up. EG really needs a few more players to compete in the Korean scene
|
To second what Lunareste said, Naniwa did mention to Destiny on hist stream that JYP will be the player to join EG; however, whether he was joking is somewhat ambiguous.

moon has never practiced fulltime. if let's say EG did sign him on then he'd probably be committing full time to SC2.
and even without his fulltime commitment he's managed to place well in every tournament he enters. he's a great a player and has managed to play consistently well.

I doubt it, the tweet said: "[...] He is not from around here."
Btw. a name, that was not mentioned until yet is Nerchio. He is not from NA, he is bm and very skilled. I doubt, that Acer could pay him the same salary, EG could.
