I saw a few posts linking NaNiwa with Acer/Axiom (with most people saying the Acer side). Nerchio didn't get along with NaNiwa really in WoL, I don't know now, but usually these things don't change. Also, Acer is kind of a tight-knit family so I highly doubt they'd pick up someone a member doesn't get along with. Pretty sure management also isn't a fan of NaNiwa.

However it does make sense for NaNiwa to find a team that has some involvement in Korea so maybe Axiom is picking him up. Nerchio doesn't have much interest in Korea so they wouldn't be part of the same team at any official event. That would make much more sense than Acer.

My bet is on any Korean team. Azubu, Axiom w/e.

But for sure keep Acer out of it. The only match he would ever get a chance to play under Acer is under the joint team in GSTL.

Naniwa has always shown tremendous dedication. I hope this is a chance to see a resurgence in his public image.

Well I'm interested to find out who picked him up. Naniwa seems motivated again which is cool.

Since OP seems to be someone of Team Property the conclusion of Naniwa joining prop seems pretty logical.

True, but he is also pretty involved in other E-Sport stuff in Sweden as well.

Based on so many KR pros changing their ID I came to one possible scenario which is worthy of Naniwa's evil mind.

1. Get on LG-IM --> LG-IMNaNiwa.
2. Change nick to --> LG-IMProberush
3. Profit by getting many hostile people's heads to explode?!

/JK...

Nani would either complete fail or excel in a kespa team though, I don't think there would be a middle ground.

They would be oversaturated with protoss players+SKT officials are not very nice/reliable people (not talking about Boxer, just higher ups who run the team)
