He had his reasons for leaving. now just wait and see whats gonna happen. and my prediction is that he will join a big team in the near future, or stop playing entirely.

Sad to see this happen, I think Naniwa was able to mature a lot in his short time with Quantic. Also, he is leaving his main buddy Sase behind on Quantic. Hope Nani has a good plan, can't wait to see him in GSL again next season! gogo Johan!

The comments we saw from him in his matches in TSL4 vs JonnyRecco lead me to believe that in fact he hasn't matured but instead the Quantic management did a good job of trying to improve his image.

the reason EG playes hate on naniwa is because yes he has bm and hops teams, but players like Demuslim and Idra are mad because they can't even qualify for code S, Naniwa wouldn't have asked to be released if he didn't already have something planned. NANIWA FIGHTING

LG-IM Naniwa? They've got to be very rich at this point and if naniwa wants to stay in Korea they seem like a nice fit.

I'm quite puzzled, it was definitely unsuspected, but as long as this helps him feel good and perform well, I will support his decision. All in all Naniwa should be the one who knows what is best for him. I think he'll join some Korean team right now or Fnatic, because I can't see any other foreign team (except for Quanitc and EG) that can provide him with better training facilities in Korea.

Where is the actual source for this? There's no link in the OP. Does the OP work for Quantic or did this appear on the Quantic website?

lol those people saying naniwa wont find a team... a guy with this much reputation is a player every team wants, just not every team that can afford. He probably allready has a team thats going to get him prepared after the leave from quantic, he's not stupid, he wouldnt leave quantic without allready having a team wanting him.

And as expected a tsunami of bullshit washes over a thread about NaNiwa. People just love to hate.

Well, when you BM, Balance whine and team hop as much as NaNiwa does... what exactly do you expect to happen?

Nani was obviously blown away by SortOf's play and now seeks to join Western Wolves

Has he been on Fnatic? I think that could be an option

Would be excellent to see him join StarTale, but will likely be a foreign team.

6-7 teams in like 1½ year? I love Naniwa, fellow Swede and Brotoss. But man, he needs to stay loyal, I would never get him to my team, knowing that he will stay for a couple of months.

3 teams in 1½ year actually.

Any reason that he needs a new team? With the money he earns he could probably support himself these days, with MLG paying for the flights and accomodation he could probably base himself in Korea.

Grubby seems to be doing alright alone, although he does have his own 'brand' of being the nicest guy in the world.

IdrA like absolutely HATES NaNiWa... it will be funny to see what comes of it

If EG, he is gonna reverse his progress until he becomes a winner like Huk, Puma and Idra have become over their time at EG.
On a serious note, Naniwa always said how much he liked everything korean, so maybe joining a korean team is a achievement for him.

That or Quantic released him and made it sound like naniwa wanted to leave.
