The most logical explanation is that he already has a team in mind, otherwise he wouldnt have left them.

He is a super competitive player that pushes himself to the absolute limits, therefore he does not fit EG at all who are more geared towards getting "personalities"


You don't think EG wants to fix that perception?

No Korean team is going to pick up Naniwa. They have many players in Code B that are better than him, and they're not sending any of them to foreign tournaments.

Don't wanna sound like a Naniwa fanboy, but alot of code b players that are better? Sound like you just don't like the guy. He has gotten to ro8 twice now...

Naniwa receiver GSL bailout seeds 5 or 6 times, iirc. If any code B player had received that many free seeds, he would've won a GSL title already.

Naniwa won 3 code A seeds and won/was given a Code S seed. In no way were they free.

Sweden = IKEA team
Finland = Nokia ( nokia is fin right ? )
USA = Mcdonalds with Idra eating commercials..
Poland = Wodka team with Tarson coach
Germany = BMW team with TLO as driver ..

Screw EG BMing naniwa. He puts up more results than their entire "politically correct, image-police" team combined. EG is a SC2 entertainment/media organization, not a competitive pro team. They can't seem to win anything or put up results anywhere close to back-to-back GSL Ro8 finishes, so damuslim nor any of them have any room to talk. Maybr spending more time training in the lair and less time making videos and hawking products would change things a bit. Regardless, naniwa is IMO the most entertaining player in the scene, and I am sure he will find continued success anywhere he goes. Whichever team does pick him up is my new favorite team, at the very least. Naniwa fighting, show all the haters that jealousy can't stop you!

So being nice is a bad thing? Sure, Alex Garfield and Scoots are concerned about image(sponsors DUR), but if you watch any EG run/involved content, its far from PC. I think what the organization has is called "standards for behavior" which is vastly different from being thoughtpolice.


I'm not sure if there is a Western team that Naniwa hasn't been on that would want him AND have the cash to pay him. Maybe SK? Personal sponsorship?

More claims with nothing to back them up. Only thing we know is that Nani has gotten two ro8 and a code S seed before that, everything else is speculaion.

Naniwa is also screwed if he has to play a Zerg

There's no way EG or Liquid will let him join their roster. Such a controversial image simply doesn't fit

LOL. He was given 3 code A seeds you mean. Seriously the day that a foreigner gets into code A through the qualifiers you guys on the forum will be able to bash the code B players. Until then, I shall continue to believe that any code b player is capable of beating the best foreigns players on any given day.

Expected; is this the end of Naniwa? What other team would pick him up? Has he burned all his bridges in the SC2 community? Disregarding the ICA troll
