So theres been a lot of rumors going on especially about most Swedish progamers being leaving their teams recently and not joining new ones.

It's been very hard to keep this a secret from the public and finally it will be announced now after our final player of the roster is announced of departure from previous team.

This has been an ongoing project that I've started quite a while back now along with our main sponsor ICA and we are happy to announce the first SC2 team consisting of only Swedish players.

"We are happy to be onboard on this growing sensation that is esports. Back in 1999 when ICA was first formed we never had any plans of sponsoring something like this but it is obvious to us now the internet is where the eyes are at and we are thrilled to learn more about this.
We hope to provide the players the best diet possible and try get all our special offers on falukorv out there that everyone can buy. On top of that we are branching outside Sweden and will soon open an online-service where you can get home delivered products from ICA no matter where you live. - Bosse, owner of ICA"

"I'm the teams head chef, my role as head chef is to mainly keep king NaNiWa satisfied, be it by hand feeding him maple syrup and canadian bacon or by indulging any of his other food fetish's. Of course all ingridients I use to cook the food for the team comes from ICA, which provides the best health diet out there for athletes and gamers." - Payam "tex mex" Toghyan, Head Chef




Roster:
ICAMorroW - Head Coach
ICATT1 - Head Chef

A team:
ICAMaddelisk - Zerg
ICACytoplasm - Zerg
ICANaNiWa - Protoss
ICANaugrim - Zerg

B team:
ICAjimpo - Terran

Main Sponsor: ICA

Ica-koncernen är ett av Nordens ledande detaljhandelsföretag som 2009 hade cirka 2 220 egna och handlarägda butiker i Sverige, Norge och Baltikum. I gruppen ingår Ica Sverige, Ica Norge och Rimi Baltic samt Ica Banken som erbjuder finansiella tjänster till de svenska kunderna. Ica AB är ett joint venture som ägs till 40 procent av svenska Hakon Invest AB och till 60 procent av nederländska Royal Ahold N.V.

You can find their stores located all over Sweden, have a wonderful day and enjoy your shopping.

This had been mentioned countless times already, and it's still a troll.

IdrA said that he liked Huk as a person before Huk joined EG though. He just didn't think Huk was good at SC2 and said so.

I think he actually hates Naniwa.

Come to think of it, no one is actually thinking of the Kespa teams. It would be genius to pick him up by a Kespa team.
Naniwa wants to become the best player he can be and a Kespa team could do that for him. At the same time Kespa teams want to get better at SC2. They aren't allowed to grab GSL players yet(I think) but I don't think Naniwa counts as a GSL player since he's a foreigner

Yeah I dunno about the rules when it comes to Kespa recruiting. How are they actually limited? Does anyone know?

that's actually a very interesting idea to consider. the whole deal might well be something unexpected either in the way of a personal sponsorship deal or a contract with a korean team (considering naniwa seems to be all for the korean scene and hardcore practise schedules). guess we'll find out soon enough since there's supposed to be some announcement landing on gamespot later on.

kespa teams have been extremely strict about bm in games and even while off games in rl with little tolerance for "bad pr" moves by players, i dont see how that's a good fit. I'm not suggesting that naniwa is actually bad mannered, just that kespa has a much more strict stance on it so given his current reputation - correct or not - it wouldn't be a good fit.

idra was right, i highly doubt wuantic complained when nani asked to leave. inf act, he probably left because his contract was up soon and he knew they wouldnt rewnew it. simply a pr move. i hope nobody picks him up, there are way more deserving players out there.

Sarcasm: You're right.. it's so easy to stay in code S 3 seasons in a row with the current system (that is, not bo1 as it was before when some non-koreans could manage with luck).

There are way more deserving players.... hmm... Actually none other than Naniwa that has done this....... I rest my case !

It would be a genius move and would help improve NaNiwa immensely and add a dangerous player to any KeSPA roster... but I doubt it would ever happen. He's disrespected some of the most respected Korean players in the scene, and Koreans (from my experience) don't forgive easily when they feel they've been slighted.

That doesn't even make sense. It would be much better PR for naniwa to wait until it was up and then go with the "The contract was up and we agreed not to renew it".
Can we stop the whole "idra was right" shit. It really doesn't fit reality.

big deal, he made ro8 in code s twice after being given a sypmathy spot. If anything he simply earned what he was already given and nothing more. doesnt news like this make you think a little? naniwa used to be dignitas, and dignitas just picked up an unknown sc2 talent who 3-1ed nani in the tsl. nani has piss poor attitude and really, no huge championships to his name. no team will give him what he wants, because what he wants is not what he deserves.
