Hm he can play in more then MLG I think considering that Parting (who is on a kespa team SKT right?) played at IEM a couple weeks ago :o. | ||

Naniwa is nowhere near as good as parting and Kespa teams are not going to pay for flights for naniwa who wants to attend as many foreign events as possible. I might be wrong and naniwa going to kespa team could happen though  | ||

I might be wrong and naniwa going to kespa team could happen though I think he'd be able to do MLG, since they have that partnership with KeSPA and Naniwa is definitely someone who brings a crowd (whether you like him or not), I just don't think KeSPA would pick him up considering the whole Nestea incident and stuff like that. Naniwa has also said one of his main goals this year is to win a Dreamhack, so I don't think KeSPA really fits what he wants. I think if he could make it on a KeSPA team though it'd be a good environment for him - nonstop training and lots of good preparation for matches. | ||

I was actually forgetting about that lol .That was long time ago (in terms of Esports time) yeah that could be the case. | ||

Well you have seen one match by Thorzain in TvZ which was never his best MU against Killer who is a fine player with an original style (he did not attend every tournament like the so-called "patch zergs" but he had good results during this time). Thorzain absolutely crushed Socke as well during the qualifier in the MU where he always excelled. Naniwa has only beaten Swedish players unknown in the international scene aside from Starnan who has never been a top contender. You have to keep in mind that the player you are up against has a big influence on how well your style is perceived. Especially with Naniwa's greedy style who looks absolutely unstoppable if you don't do the right decisions. I haven't watched E-Sport SM but I wouldn't build my opinion on this tournament. | ||
