Naniwa has provided me a statement, excerpt: "Quantic kept everything they promised me and me to them. I sincerely wish them the best!"
excellent!

I don't think he will end up in Startale as Quantic and Startale are already working together in Korea, doesn't make a huge amount of sense. Shall be interesting to see where he ends up though.

Naniwa is way to unprofessional for liquid, eg or fnatic.

Which leaves only one team. SK.

No seriously, for what reason would you conduct this NaNiwa?

MC and NaNi don't seem to get along judging by interviews. SK is MC. They're not going to drop a two time champion and arguably one of the best Protoss players in the world for NaNiwa, even thought it's NaNiwa.

he will be the roofer for manas lair and if his work turns out ok, he can live and train there.

They're also the only korean team with a non korean player. TSL came close then their sponsors stepped in against major

As always, the lesson with Naniwa is caveat emptor.

He has so much skill and so little emotional maturity.

Also possible that he was fired, but Q is being respectful about it and not announcing that publicly.

Well, guess Idra was right.


he said he would be fired, which didn't happen, hence he was by definition *not* right. Good effort though!


I don't think so, SaSe and Naniwa informally left quantic earlier this year and rakakas source stated that it was because of not recieving economic support they demanded.

Its super bad manner imo to ask to leave a team and then join another one when you are already contracted. I am not sure what the reality is, but it looks like Naniwa asked to leave Quantic, left, and is now searching for another team.Quantic spent time and money for Naniwa, and if another team wants him then they should be compensated for that. The other team should have to buy the contract off of Quantic.
I don't know who will grab him now. It seems that Naniwa has gone through most of the major teams, I don't think that he will be able to get on one with the same amount of resources and perks as Quantic.

when they have both code s finalists on their 'team' why would they pick up a white guy who isnt even that popular, doesnt make any sense.

fnatic naniwa is the only move that makes sense to me! strong korean presence, focus on gsl, isnt as intense with reputation as others, has enough money to pay him what he thinks hes worth.

If the sponsors of TSL didn't like major I don't think naniwa may fly with TSL's sponsors either so I'll say LG-IM for now.

EG's not going to take NaNi he's not very good for marketing but i could definitely see them pick up Sase if he decides to leave too,

I'm surprised people are surprised. Naniwa is a great player, but a selfish one who'll jump from one bandwagon to the next if he sees a better opportunity short term. He's not a ''Team Spirit'' type of guy, he's a lone wolf who should be going the Destiny/WhiteRa path imo. An up and coming team might throw some money his way to have a big established name there, which is the totally wrong reason to choose a player btw. I don't think he'll end up on a korean team.

I heard EG is in the mood of throwing money at players! :D


Traditionally we prefer that on Tuesdays and Thursdays...Mondays, eh...

haha, that's an awesome comback

I don't see why EG would really want to take Naniwa, a player who is harassing EG all the time and really can't behave and not even the good kind of not behaving. He is probably going to join a smaller team like EC or ROX or something like that. Definitly not a korean team.

I guess this is what happens when a coach gets into a fight with the star player and they are not on speaking terms.
