Hope to see him on a very good team that got his back. Despite my earlier relationship with him in the past I get along with him pretty good now... and no matter how he sometimes does behave, he is actually one of the foreigners that got what you need to be successful. He is very harsh on himself and does practice hard. Hope to see him with good results in 2013! Ggogo~

EG will add two new players to boost their performance in proleague.


Coincidence?

Naniwa isn't an addition for proleague.


Naniwa got the dedication to play in Korea and unlike Stephano he showed and said that he liked the "preparing for an opponent" format. I think it could be possible that he could go to EG, however he has been irrelevant to the scene for a little bit and thats not very EG esque.

Well, he could just be fooling everybody and having laughs with nani. It's kind of weird for WW to deny the rumours when they've actually signed him.


I hope that's the case.

It's not really that huge of a step if you consider how his previous teams have looked. WW's lineup looks fine by foreign team standards and with all the collaborations between teams, especially in Korea, you can't really say how it will turn out.

Unless they partner up with ST or LGIM (which is impossible for a small team like WW), then it's not good for him. He used to be in ST house last year. Anything below that is definitely a step down. LGIM, ST, a KeSPA team or EGTL are his only options if he wants to have real progress as a player.

Perhaps EG for the marketing possibilities, I guess we'll see, don't care too much to be honest.

It's not Acer.

If you are going to quote a random poster as proof, at least specify why the poster in question isn't random...

Kaoru is a really good friend of mine, we talked about that yesterday, 100% certified it's not Acer.

If it's not Acer that would leave WW/Axiom/Quantic as the only foreign teams with presence in Korea and hiring potential.
I doubt any Korean team would have him.

I actually think that i may be FXO.EU with him moving in the fxo teamhouse in korea and playing for them in gstl. They teamed-up with grubby so they need some protoss help.

Wasn't it leaked a few weeks ago when a webpage was updated showing Naniwa's name in the rooster? I think it was WW but I'm not entirely sure.

WOW this is so awesome! can´t wait to see what team he joined, altough it was a brave statement when claiming that he is much better then Thorzain, I guess only time can tell.

Isn't WW partnered with NSH? Doesn't Sting play with them in GSTL? or am I completely wrong idk

Edit: yay I was right http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/New_Star_HoSeo

So WW would give him access to a teamhouse in Korea, sortOf will be there too

True........

Never liked Naniwa or his attitude. People always say he's got the attitude of a winner and has the attitude you need to succeed, blah blah. In my eyes he always has an excuse lined when he loses and talks about as much trash as IdrA.

His attitude has been his downfall. He's a troll and has an abysmal attitude. However, he's not ignorant to the fact that he's a fuck face. Idra is blissfully up in a cloud thinking everyone else is a retard and that he's God, whereas Naniwa has admitted in the past that he's a douchebag. I'd place him over Idra for this reason. He's at least self aware, even if he doesn't do anything about it.

When MC is cocky he is a boss. But when Naniwa is cocky it's unreal?

You have to have that attitude to win. And all of the best Protoss players share that attitude, even if they can't always back it up.
