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!



Whoa settle down. It's not that serious. Yeah Idra and Demuslim were joking about Naniwa but Demuslim shortly thereafter explained that he and Naniwa are friends. He said that "I'm sure you all have that one friend that's a pyromaniac where everything is fine one day, and then over a couple weeks there are a few fire hazards and then one day your house burns to the ground. That's Naniwa, I even joke with him that he's my pyromaniac friend." - So it's jokes. They're his friends, and they like him, but he's not really a team player.

EG does get some pretty good results. They don't get consistently amazing results, but they do bring in some good results. So lets not team bash.

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.


They basically are, he stood out among foreigners but not Koreans. Getting to Code S is over half the battle of winning it.


It' just shitloads of variance. That's why alot of top tier players drop down to code A/B every season. It' just impossible to be that consistent unless you really are the top 3player of your race.

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.


Even code S players lose to foreigners though. Nani has won alot of games in code S, hate all you want but the facts wont change. He got code S through seed but he has beaten some good players since then.

If the seeds are advertized as a price in a tournament, you win them, you're not having them given to you. Regarding Korean player's outside of GSL and KESPA, I agree that there are several of them able to defeat the best foreigners (possibly with the exception of a certain french Zerg).

Well that's... surprising. Wonder if he's going for a Korean team or something.

Incontrol would be more fitting for those commercials thought.

.. because of his better acting


Also, to all saying it's a big surpise, Nani kind of said it himself on his stream. He said "I will never go to Quantic house.". Also, knowing his history, it wasn't really hard to find out that he can/will leave Quantic.

Not a chance. Llewellys wouldn't sign him even if Naniwa pays for it.

I'd be interested in why you think this? Millenium seems to fit for me unless they have some history that I don't know about.

As far as I can see Naniwa's main concerns will be that he has a pro-house in Korea to live in, and that he gets paid money. If we assume that he won't join a team he has already been on in SC2 that doesn't leave that many teams, and it won't be a Korean team because they either can't provide him the salary, or there are players they would rather employ.

They couldn't keep Thorzain and finance his Korean plans - how could they keep Naniwa happy?

They could finance his Korea plans, they couldn't get a deal with SlayerS because they're partnered with EG.

So any player who has been in the GSL Code A/S five or six times has won a GSL title?

Even the Koreans admit Naniwa is really good so maybe it's time to stop referencing the age old Code A record.


How many times did he lose in Code A? 3? Maybe if he gets a 3rd ro8 in a row next season they'll seed him directly in the semifinals.

Don't tell that to MKP...


Unfortunately for Marineking beating Mvp or Nestea in the finals is the other half of the battle.

Since we're throwing around crazy ideas, I'm going to say he's joining a Brood War team. I'm sure they'd be delighted to have him.

probably going to be startale

Elaborate please, I hear so many people saying this but I don't see a valid reason he would join ST. What can ST offer him that Quantic cannot ?

Lots off redbull. But I don't think its Startale though. SK and Fnatic are very possible, both have the money and can give him support in Korea. SK would probably be the best fit for Naniwa since they don't really focus that much on the team aspect, so it would be more like a personal sponsorship thingy. Mousesports could be possible as well. But I don't think he'll join a Korean team, as the RAKAKA article (the ones that published this long time before it was even announced) said that he left Quantic due to them not being able to send him to events. Earlier this month somebody asked him if he would go to MLG Spring Championship and he answered that he would if Quantic would be kind to send him there.

He won't join Fnatic because there is nightend and he won't join SK because there is MC.

TheSlash doesn't give a single fucking shit if MC and NaNi hates each other, he's known for doing these insanly unlogical moves. Would'nt suprise me at all if he recruited Naniwa. ToD had a bad history with Fnatics CS team, they still recruited him. I think they can look past his history with NightEnd.

He said on twitter that he wanted a anime serie to watch so he could forget about Starcraft for a week. I hope he'll come back to Quantic in a week with Sase and everything would be just like before!
