Oh, that sucks.

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.

Show nested quote +
"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
http://www.ica-gaming.se/
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.

Yeah, you said that about HuK as well, didn't you?

No but thanks for making assumptions. If you have watched any interviews or SOTG, the opinion between the players is VERY low. Huk and Idra only had a small rivalry. Nothing too bad. This seems a bit worse.

Read most of the comments, everybody is saying that they cant see anybody picking him except a couple teams (because he burnt to many bridges) picking him up and he has a bad attitude, except all the biased swedes of course. I dont see why anybody would want a balance whiner, BM player, and all around complainer on their team no matter the results he has. You really cant deny that he is BM and complains a lot. I hope he either retires or goes the grubby route so he wont hurt anymore teams.

im 99% certain that eg management wants nothing to do with naniwa let alone the players themselves. quit comparing him to huk. huk seems like a nice guy at least, nani is like the dude at the party you wish would leave.

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 !


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.


Really? The only foreigner in code S plus http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/sc2-international/players/1614_NaNiwa

As been mentioned, he's still probably the best or second best foreigner depending on who you ask.
Slumping against zergs in one weekend is marginal at best thinking of his career. Besides, what bigger tournament win than MLG has any SC2 foreigner accomplished?

I doubt I was talking about his skill level, no one can deny that he is very good. He was probably more talking about how terrible he is to get along with and that other people would fit better with other teams.

Maybe he won't go on any team and just get a personal sponsorship, he is certainly a big enough name for one.

I could almost see this coming unfortunately :/ I thin due to his lack of performance lately, he'll.. perhaps give up on professional gaming. What I hope for though, is that he stays in Korea and keeps doing well in GSL Code S

This was very unexpected... Maybe he'll want to go to either Startale or Prime since he likes Parting and Creator? Hopefully he will find a team that suits him.

I'm sure there are a lot of team that suit naniwa. Question is if he suits any team.

So... aside from the sweedish ancestry, he's idra?

Oh, and the last person Idra talked so much crap about, ended up on his team... *coughHukcough*

Hurting teams? Come on, how many would even know of quantic if it wasn't for sase and naniwa?
He's bm and complains. Atleast in his latest games now, and it's kind of a terrible idea to leave your team right after that. Still his skill should earn him a spot somewhere. I'd assume he's already in a team to be honest.
It's kind of sad that manner matters more than skill in a sport. I've made a couple of references to Wayne Rooney already from football. If you don't know who that is, he's basically an amazing player, but from what I know they even turn off the sound of cameras close to him as he's so BM and he's been swearing at the referee tonnes of times. He's still in Manchester United, and plays in the English national team.
Naniwa has the rumour of being a team hopper on top of that, which is kind of problematic, but honestly I would think there are teams that would take him for his skill.
