Idra predicted this happening. He also said that when it does, he's done in eSports, because no team will want him.

Well Idra is wrong, as he is in all matters regarding sc 2. Naniwa will proboably get a huge contract as hes currently, and have been the best or next best foreign SC2 player.

Real Talk with Naniwa. Guess it will give you your answer.


Good that he admitted that some of the fault was his about being kicked out of the ESL league and off of MyM.

If Diginitas can offer the money, then Naniwa would probably go back there as he seemed to have a good relationship with them.

He's very money oriented, which isn't wrong per say, but it does come across as being too greedy.

Well as we don't know any numbers here, and the only idea about how big a salary may be are eg players, I don't think anyone can judge whether nani was just in his desire for more money, or if it was pure greed.

Either way really good episode and I feel like it did a lot for his relationship to the community, hopefully less people will hate on arguably the best foreigner now. Well I guess he'll join dignitas if they can come up with the money, can't wait to hear newmans perspective or even odis on this on the next episodes of their respective shows.

He's such a bundle of contradictions.
Wins to spite the haters but still cares for the fans.
He could make an easy living of the community if only he was willing to play the villain.

Also this may be expected of him but players really need to stop with the 'all about money' answers.
They have plenty of sponsors to promote and that kind of talk encourages the wrong attitude among fan-base.

Nice find. Although in Real Talk he said he will be teamless for a while and that he has an offer from one swedish companz who would send him to events. But actually that would be a start of a VERY sick team if that was true.


must be that supermarket

I don't know why people criticize gamers for wanting money...We don't know the numbers but shit wouldn't you want more money when all you do is play this game upwards of 6-12 hours a day. You have to live somehow not sure why people think this is wrong. You obviously haven't seen what sports professionals make.

Very money oriented? :D I would be too if all I had to my name is a career that can disappear quickly and with limited options afterwards.

These people are spending their prime time playing games for other peoples entertainment. At least try to make some money off it.

Yeah actually, we dont know what was the difference. Maybe he was getting like 150 or 200 euros per month and the difference between Dignitas and Complexity was basically the difference between allowance and a real paycheck.

Yeah, the team he was talking about in the end was probably Dignitas, but we will see. Kinda dissapointed that JP didnt ask him, whether he would even consider joining Korean (Gom or KESPA - whatever) team if he was offered something like that.

Did you really listen to the Real Talk episode? He brings up money as a contributing factor consistently, "I have a few offers, but I don't want to rush into another team straight away...unless I get a really good offer, right now I have a few pretty good ones, but not perfect."

Also, consistent desire for more money = greed (to an extent).

its looks like he really wonts to go to TeamDignitas but they don't have money to pay someone like nani. I know 2GD was in DignitasNewman (hes a co funder) about salaries and signing player and he said that player in general wonted more money than they should be getting.
I'm a bit interested in what Swedish company who will pay for him, i might just be ROG Nordic, or maybe some sort of supermarket...

I wish he shouldn't have left Dignitas. The black-yellow uniform, the dignitas-Naniwa name, and apparently his relationship with the team was pretty good. It was also when he was rising up quickly, so things seemed to be going well for him at that time.

So, according to gamespot EG tried to buy Naniwa from Quantic for some time, but when they failed to reach terms they went ahead and got suppy and are now out of the bidding. I wonder if Idra knew about that ? :D

He also does elaborates many times that a good offer = travel to events, good practice environment in korea (Which is EXPENSIVE).

Don't think it would be a good move from Dignitas to sign him again, never good for a team to have the reputation to let their players look elsewhere and then sign them back if they don't find better.

Being an adult/having to pay the rent does that to you . Did you hear the part where he said he would stay on the team for half the money? How many people with normal day jobs do you know that stay on their job when they can earn 3 times as much somewhere else doing exactly the same thing?
