I think he'll join the best Protoss team in the world, which right now is StarTale. If he were to join EG, you'd have to think EG would then have to drop a player to make money room, and LzGamer and Machine are the likely victims because they are the weakest players on EG right now. Plus, they just added Suppy and I don't think they'll make another move this soon.

Quantic has 18 players, yet nobody says they would have to stop adding new players without releasing some.

EG has like 10 players, yet with each addition people say, they would have to release some to balance things out. Why?

And no, EG would definitly never want Naniwa on their team.

I'm really really really pleased that Naniwa didn't leave Qunatic the wrong way. Even if there's some behind the scenes drama - as there usually is - he has had the decency to acknowledge Quantic's support.

I bet he is just so mad from tsl, that he is going to temporarily escape the pro scene.

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.


Hey we're not talking about IdrA here, we're talking about Naniwa...



idra has actual fans though, sponsors like exposure. naniwa's only exposure comes from acting a fool time and time again
and...you know...making it deep in Code S instead of flaming out in first group stage...

As a non-fan of Naniwa I have to say that his performance in the last year or so clearly and easily overshadows Idra's.

But... that is exactly how Idra got his fans. By BMing and acting like an idiot in tournament games.

Korean team most likely ?
If he wished to join another small team than my guess is he would have stayed with Quantic,
And out of the big teams ? Mouze and Mil would be my first guess, maybe fnatic ?
A good strategy means leaving your opponent room to make mistakes

not really. im not an idra fan but he has so many fans because usa supports him and understand that deep down he is a good person. at live events idra interacts with his fans and is an all around good guy. naniwa is a self-interested troll who ignores/denigrates his fanbase and disrespects tournament organizer after tournament organizer and team after team. if naniwa attitude is all some kind of 'badboy' act to gain fans like idra than he has the wrong idea. anwyays, you're from sweden, whatever. you guys have so many better players worth the attention including sase who IMO has outperformed naniwa as of late.

I think it is a troll by MorroW

Headchef: TT1 XDD

Edit: Plus I think there is no way this wouldn't be on the front page and twitter being spammed already if it was real.

Absolutely not. Whenever a fan at WCS Sweden asked for an autograph, he gave them it. And whenever someone asked a question, he answered it nicely

I predict Naniwa will join team Evil Geniuses because he and Idra will have good synergy living together. It will also be ideal because Naniwa and Huk play differently so there will be more variety in practice partners. Also naniwa has an "Evil" reputation doing things like pausing games frequently, probe rushes, BM, etc.

People suggesting other people to be banned for no reason should be banned.
