EG-TL is in proleague trouble, Coach promised us a wonder. Maybe Naniwa is this wonder?? Think of SKT if they picked Nani up!


Did you read the interview? Naniwa said that he is sick of people calling Thorzain the best in sweden, and that he thinks he is better than Thorzain. I doubt EG would recruit him after saying this.

Plus Naniwa is too much of a risk. He jumps teams so quick its silly, i doubt EG would want to risk bringing in a player as controversial as Naniwa even if they have someone like IdrA in the team.

I kinda like him because he is so intense

I don't see anger in him, maybe some anti-social feelings though, people don't really understand him because he is just different from the norm, maybe not the most happy/charismatic person. I agree with Naniwa, Thorzain should NOT have King of the North title given to him like we give someone a nickname. Being the King should mean you are the best! It is not BM to say that if you are not the best (arguable but its from a peer) that maybe you should not be The King? Thorzain sure didn't look like the best at MLG Dallas 2 so... time for regicide?

Heck even on results alone I feel Naniwa right now has a gripe that his crown was stolen from him, Thorzain didn't ever get 2 GSL top 8's that was Naniwa. But he has to hear from all fans how he is "BM superfreak angry troll meanie" and Thorzain is "the King" well if I was Nani I would be rightfully pissed.

Its like the detractors are all Fix-It Felix, they don't like Wreck-It-Ralph because he ruins the hotel. However hes just as much a part of the game as FIF is we need him to have good games! People assume WIR is a bad person because he wrecks stuff, if they actually give him a chance he has the potential to be a really great guy. Naniwa does some BM, people hate him but you all want to be like FIF and not see the good side of Naniwa and make him sleep in the trash, when he is actually one of our best talents outside of Korea who deserves the rooftop next to the cake.

Thorzain has that nickname based on the fact that he performs especially well on his nordic home ground and, seeing how Naniwa hasn't won big tournaments hosted in Sweden yet, it's a title still attributed to him. Thorzain won a Dreamhack, WCS Sweden and Esports SM, can't blame people for calling him a king on his own land based on the success he had there.

True that. Thorzain is the King in the North unless someone else surpasses his achievements in Northern European Lans. Naniwa just needs to match Thorzain's record there to become the new King.

I love Naniwa but I've found that it is mostly the Protoss players with the over-inflated egos.

<3 naniwa. Love to see people speaking their minds and holding back on the massive modestly every once in a while. especially because its getting hard to see who is actually modest, and who is simply playing it for sponsorship/team reasons.

although I like his enthusiasm, I think he's slightly overrated...none the less, good luck to him! Hopefully it will be a Naniwa vs thorzain final! I wonder who recruited him...

It would make sense given that WW and NSH have a partnership.

New coach... could be he analyzed the players by now and thinks he needs naniwa. I think naniwa would be pretty ok for eg or tl U love him or hate him, but he has a large fanbase, thats important for the sponsors too. Naniwa is really good, he got game, just has to show it on a high constant level.

Yeah Nani may rub people up a bit the wrong way, but he's a dedicated motherfucker when it comes to being a 'good player' which too many in the foreign scene aren't.

Interested to see where he lands. Also feel he's getting a fair bit of flak for his teamhopping reputation, as far as I know the last few weren't the same as his formative years, i.e him and the team falling out, but due to other factors.
