If every single player could just leave his contract at any time, there would be no reason for contracts.
The only reason I can think of right now, a team would let a player out of a contract is if they didn't want him or benefit from him as much as they were investing into the player.

"Rumor : Naniwa leaves Quantic

According to reliable sources Naniwa will be leaving Quantic Gaming.

Today Rakaka got information about the swedish Code S player Johan "Naniwa" Lucceshi that he will leave Quantic. The definite reason to why he's leaving is unclear but according to Rakaka's sources, the team has had trouble sending them abroad. As an example, ASUS helped them to get to Dreamhack Open in Stockholm earlier this year.

During WCS Nordic Rakaka noticed that Naniwa and Sase didn't hang out together as much as they did at the previous Dreamhack, and according to Rakaka's sources, the players had a quarrel. The reason for the quarrel is unclear, and it's also unclear if it was a contributing factor to Naniwa leaving the team.

Any way, Naniwa has already gotten several offers from big teams, but we don't know which the teams are at the moment."


Did a translaton of Naniwa leaving Quantic since the article had been posted but not translated. (Not a native speaker so don't be too harsh on my grammar etc)

Wonder what team he will go to :o

Idra was _wrong_. He claimed Quantic wanted to ditch Nani, but Nani ended his contract.

It doesn't sound like Quantic did much of anything to try to keep their star player, though. Think about when TSL has players who want to leave or when other teams lose their star players, at the very least they claim that they try to convince the player that they should not leave. It really does not seem like Quantic put up much of a fight, probably because IdrA was right.

Naniwa seems to enjoy Korea and living there, and he is in Code S, so whichever team he joins, probably will have to have some roots in Korea.

Would love to see him join a Korean team like TSL or Startale.

He would also require a fairly large salary.
How many times has someone who had a salary joined a new team for less or no money?

It's either Liquid or Fnatic. Fnatic, calling it.

Liquid'Nani! Liquid could use a solid protoss apart from Hero.

I think naniwa could win 10 GSLs and liquid would still not want him. He just does not fit the team spirit at all.

Highly doubt TSL will be allowed to by their sponsor considering their sponsor didn't want MajOr joining them who is much closer to all the players on the team.

maybe Naniwa realizes staying in Korea doesn't help much, so he wants to go back home and rejoin Dignitas.

Also possible that he was fired, but Q is being respectful about it and not announcing that publicly.

he said he would be fired, which didn't happen, hence he was by definition *not* right. Good effort though!

So -- probably not. And he said he likes playing for the foreign fans.

And although Idra was partially right in this scenario, just remember that he also has a tendency to be rather pessimistic towards most players. He also said Stephano would get demolished when he first made an appearance.

Seeing Naniwa in TSL would shock me in a good way, because TSL is really lacking in consistently strong Protosses. Either way, looking like Naniwa is sticking with foreign teams for now, but I'm not sure which foreign teams with strong ties to Korea haven't already accepted Naniwa except EG and Liquid, both who don't look too accepting of new players currently.
