You're trying too hard dude. You don't have to quote everyone who says EG to prove your point.

Let me see:
He want's to be the best player and prioritizes it above everything else...
He already trains with one of the best teams in Korean...
He asked to be released from his contract...

If Startale is not an option for him then I.m.o. he's going to a Kespa team anything else would be poor choice on his side.


No KeSPA team is going anywhere NEAR NaNiwa, so if anyone seriously believes this, they need to check the facts properly.

They've said numerous times they're like brothers. I highly doubt they got into some hissy fit and now they hate eachother, and Naniwa is rushing off. "reported" is meaningless, it could very well be that Sase simply hasnt gone through the series of steps necessary with Qauntic yet to announce his departure.


Naniwa unfollowed sase on twitter. If they were still close he wouldn't do that. The sase/naniwa bromance is over!

Lol no. With his reputation? He'd be lucky to get on a GSL Korean team. KespA teams won't even get near him.


The joke. I sense you did not get it. Honestly, a KeSPA team would do him lots of good, I think, but he'd never get in with his history. But no, I was not being serious.

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 think they would spend the money to fly Naniwa around. If Naniwa doesn't find a Korean team to stay, his skill will decrease and will probably be eliminated from the GSL next season.


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.


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.


I don't get it.
People can say what they want but Ro8 twice in a row is pretty indisputable proof that he's Code S level. The fact that he lost a few times in Code A ages and ages ago is of no relevance to that fact.

Surprised the Quantic tenure lasted this long to be honest, but they have grown a lot since he joined.

He's arguably the best foreigner, and currently 8th best in the world. That's pretty high standards.

WTF ?? WHAT IS THIS CRAPPY TEAM ??

Team ICA got a seed for the semifinals, they didn't win the GSTL yet.

Sounds like a pretty strange situation.
According to Naniwa Quantic did everything they promised to do for him, so why leave?
He must have gotten an offer that he can't turn down, or something happened we aren't supposed to know.

None of it will happen. Startale makes no sense and was dismissed by Naniwa himself. EG does not want uncontrollable players.

haha uncontrollable....

look, no way he's gonna join a korean team


Reasoning?

Sounds totally possible to me.

Look at IMFenix or ST_Torch.

Those are two example's of Korean teams picking up Foriegn players because they show potential.

A large reason for that is that the teams benefit from the publicity of having pros like that. Now sure, Naniwa's situation is a little different due to the probe rush thing, but he is also a proven commodity, having made to GSL RO8s. I think a foreign team is more likely, but a Korean team certainly is possible.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

by Standards I didn't mean playing results. I meant personality wise. Kespa teams are not going to want a whiny BM team hopper with a bad reputation. 0% chance a Kespa team touches him. Also he is not 8th best in the world -.- yes he has proven he is a solid player by staying in Code S, but he is not top 8 in the world....

Some say he no longer went along that well with Sase.
