I cannot imgaine any way that he will ever find a professional team again. He just seems to have some integrety problems. Or maybe his character is just too controversial to ever function in a team. Even if u dont like him, u almost gotta feel sorry for him..

As stated Many times before, NaNiwa has dismissed this option entirely. Startale can give him absolutely nothing more then what Quantic was. He would not leave Quantic to get less.

It's a little more than clan hopping when you're getting paid tens of thousands of dollars a year.

I think EG's holding out for Stephano in September. So it has to be a Korean Team.

He probably won't go to E.G, IdrA hates the fuck out of him...
However I think it'll be a great acquisition for TeamLiquid, it'll be a new masterpiece added to their collection and it would probably help NaNiwa to be better too.


However, the best would be Millenium, imagine, Stephano and Naniwa in the same team... it would be huge

He will be the new SKT1 Coach for Bisu

NaNiwa is joining Samsung KHAN as a coach (and when that 1 year ban on getting SC2 players ends he'll become a full time player) to help Stork and JangBi. At Samsung KHAN NaNiwa will also have an army of B Teamers to practice with whenever he wants.

Tbh, I could see him getting a solo sponsor and being the next "Grubby" style player where he isn't on a team but is directly sponsered / endorsed.


Not sure if that would work well in this case. The 2 most well-known solo players are Grubby and WhiteRa who both have fairly outgoing personalities and are marketing themselves that way.

Naniwa wants to practice, practice and practice some more and then (attempt to) win the tournament. If promotion and marketing of the brand don't matter, it will be very hard to succeed as a solo-team, as you'll be less interesting for sponsors.

he doesn't actually practice that much -- SaSe does.

This is just what I have heard.

EDIT: I remember him saying that he sees SaSe playing and that is how he motivates himself to keep practicing.

Now he will have a lot of trouble that he isn't with SaSe... I hope they're still buds :'(

Except stephano is going to leave. Also, TL won't ever pick up a player with such a personnality no matter how good his results are.

I think people are basing this HerO's transition from oGs to Liquid while/after the two teams had a relationship with each other.


Some recent quotes from cArn who lives in Korea(?):
Souaïb 'cArn' Hanaf ‏@cArn_sc
People worrying about Naniwa finding a new home .. don't worry guys, he's totally fine.

Souaïb 'cArn' Hanaf ‏@cArn_sc
Needless to say, I can't give more precisions, but I think more infos on that won't take too long to be made public officially.


Maybe Naniwa already has a new team?
