I guess it won't be EG since he talks like that about Tzain aka The King of the North!

Naniwa clearly has already plateaued in terms of level of SC2. A new game brings new potential i guess, but he proved he was what, top 3 foreigner? And still miles behind Koreans in WOL. Maybe he can ride the new game and stay competitive in Korea until the Koreans figure the game out, but im quite confident that getting Code S will be a struggle this time round for Naniwa in Korea.

Very intrigued to see which team has picked him up though. Would be quite interesting if it is EG...they are openly looking for more players to join their Korean roster for ProLeague, but with his BM (i guess it is classified as BM?) to Thorzain i doubt it would be EG. So that leaves Axiom?Acer? or will he be actually joining a Korean team?

I don't think plateaued is the proper term. If you put him in a proper team with proper training partners and such, you'd probably see a better Naniwa than what we've seen or at least a higher lowest level. If that's plausible is another matter.

To be true Naniwa have been better then all Nordic players for a while. He did compeete in gsl. and won. Who else in the vest can say that. not only in sweden but in all the scene outside Korea. The man have a drive like most Gamers outside korea lacks. to qoute Khaldor " Naniwa don't grind games. He ginds koreans"

When Fnatic took Sase in, Naniwa was raging on this stream whole day. So this comments on his are not a surprise.

Really? I was under the impression that he and Sase were good friends, figured he’d be happy for him.


The weirdest thing when he left Quantic was when he mentioned that, besides getting tired of only hanging out with Sase, he also didn't like the fact they were two rivals in the same team (both swedes, both protoss). I was like "Wat is this, i don't even." I think Naniwa is just one of those guys who gets super jealous when other people do well in the same field as him, to the point where he can't separate his professional and social relationship with the said people. Reminds me of those fake competitive friends in school who stop liking you if you surpass them in grades or a certain sport.

Probably my favorite foreigner overall..

Like - by far the best before Stephano got in the frey.. However - agreed with the most people - he better practises hard as opposed to smack-talking and BM-ing all day long.. I know he can do it..

GL HF Naniwa.. Protoss power lives once again..
Another world, another place, another universe, won the race.. :) ;) :P

Aftonbladet is not really a serious newspaper (even though it is the biggest in Sweden), and really likes to blow things out of proportion. The only thing we should take away with us from the article is that he's found a new team that will be announced in the coming weeks.

I do agree with Naniwa being better than ThorZain. But best foreigner is a title he has to earn as that crown is firmly on Stephano's head so far based on his overall career achievements. But I hope Naniwa proves he is up there or even better.

He's willing to go back to Korea and train hardcore style, unlike so many foreigners, so maybe I could forget the fact that he is constantly tilting and unstable.

But that fashion sense... Urgh. Cannot unsee.
