That came out of nowhere. It will be interesting to see where he goes. With his skill level, he would be a good fit for a korean team. But it seems like he's never got along well with the korean culture...

This actually is 3 teams in 1 1/2 years.


Eh, if you want to be exact. Might as well say 8 teams in 2 years anyway, the guy just approximated his dates wrong in the first place

Naniwa is a pretty hated character at EG, SirScoots in particular was very harsh (borderline bully) at Dreamhack Summer. There is 0% chance of him going to EG.

Also, don't assume that Naniwa has a plan leaving - he is a pretty volatile guy


Do you know him personally?

I would get him on my team in a blink of an eye because I know exactly what he wants from one, and I know he can repay it with commitment, work and results because I've already seen countless evidence for it. Likewise for Major, in fact. There is no reason for a player to leave if he's getting what he wants.

The problem isn't in Naniwa, the problem is in the western "teams", or more accurately in that they're marketing companies first whose primary purpose is to sell advertising, and actual Starcraft teams second (some even not at all). Unfortunately, Naniwa's skills are not worth much in such an environment, and his "weaknesses" reduce his value to these organizations by a lot, and thus the distance they're willing to go to support him as a player.

Hopefully for him, he has an organization lined up that will support him in the way that he needs to develop as a player. However, knowing how the SC2 scene works, I wouldn't bet on it.

IdrA like absolutely HATES NaNiWa... it will be funny to see what comes of it


Didn't IdrA hate HuK too before?

Anyway I hope for StarTale, I would be cool if he stayed in korea and practise and maybe one day reach a code S final


IdrA hated HuK for the way he played the game, not for his personality. He's actually stated that they got along outside of the game before they were teammates.

Well he never changed his ID so he can't compete with Major.

Maybe he will fit into a korean team, don't know how he is percieved in korea. EG is unlikely, as the negativ effect on the team chemistry is not outweight by his skill.

Last time I heard him talk about MVP, he bashed them basically saying that they don't really practice much.
