I don't know Swedish and don't know the exact context, but honestly, I don't think Naniwa is that serious about his rivalry with Thorzain. I think Naniwa's personality should be taken light-hearted. He can be a bit of an ass, but I think he just jests a lot. You can look at his twitter. Some jokes may be offensive depending on how well he knows the person, but I think he's on good terms with a lot of people and on poor terms with others. It seems unlikely that he would have a negative relationship with Thorzain, but I suppose it's possible. Who knows!

This sounds like an announcement of an announcement - it's been too long since we've had one...

Good to hear Naniwa is going back to Korea. I hope he'll qualify for GSL again (or maybe get seeded) and do well there.

Knowing the "newspaper" that wrote about his thorzain-statement, it is well taken out of context, and it would be stupid to charge this statement with feelings like "naniwa is so bm" and crap like that. Aftonbladet journalism is pretty crappy really. So, please take it with a grain of salt. I'm sure thorzain is.

I find announcements of announcements rather stupid. So I really don't like this being on the front page on TL. But I think it can't be helped D:

Question should be "what team is so stupid to pick this kid up?"

I am happy for him that he found a team but I feel so bad for the team that is willing to pick this guy up. This will not go well at all.

ps@Blargh. Just take some minutes to research a bit of Nanis history. This gay had and still has serious issues

Same. I guess the intention is to create hype, but to me it's the ultimate hypekiller, when the thing finally happens I'm completely apathetic.

GL Naniwa! I hope you do prove everyone that you're the true King of the North, you definitely deserve that title after those rounds in GSL.

I like the way Naniwa ghosts in and out of the scene with his appearances because every time he comes back he has some amazing play to show us

Thorzain beat him in TL3. Won a dreamhack. Won the Swedish Championship and qualified to the European championship something Naniwa couldn't even do.

That Naniwa actually thinks he is better is laughable at best. Thorzain is the king in the north
