Me too. I'm tired of announcements being announced. Just tell us at the time when something is finalized.

For all of his drama queen syndrome he is actually a better player than stephano in terms of achievements. I believe that he can make it in Korea as he has been there, done that, and actually seems to show drive to compete.
There is no such thing is "e-sports". There is Brood War, and then there is crap for nerds.

This wasn't really an announcement though.

OP mentions it as being official in a couple of weeks, so another week by that. But who knows?
Guessing NiP; if only because NiP are looking to expand into other games and also because Nani was talking with Heaton over twitter :/

Hmm.. they said the big korean league redistribution announcement was going to be the 4th of april.. Maybe NaNi is moving to a eSF/Kespa team and they are going to announce it alltogether? KT.NaNiWa?

I'm more a Nani fan tbh, I do feel Stephano has better achievements, but I partly believe that is because Naniwa didn't really go around sweeping up foreign tournaments when he had the chance. His Providence run is the equal of pretty much anything Stephano has done in terms of the impact, that and Stephano's rise were the only two times where I didn't just go in hoping the foreigners did well, but really believed that they would do so.

Going forward, Nani's willingness to put in the hours will see him rewarded at some stage, the guy has far too few medals for the quality of play he has consistently shown.

I actually think after reading some things here doing and a bit of my own research it is probably indeed NiP! :O

This made me laugh. In case yo haven't followed the scene in the last two years, i suggest you take a look at sc2earnings to educate yourself.

You're equating achievements with prize money, which isn't necessarily always going to be the case

maybe so, but is there really any discussion to be had on this?

if it's not clear to you that Stephano is a lot more accomplished than Naniwa in sc2, i don't know what to tell you other than look at liquipedia. Naniwa is more accomplished in the GSL though, but that's not all of starcraft and i think it's clear who put in more time and effort into GSL between the two.

nani didn't go "sweep up" foreign tournaments because he lost in the first round to dimaga or to bly.

where as stephano won like 10 tournaments, many of them with koreans like bomber/mc/mkp/polt so you can't even say it were not the best koreans.

all that naniwa won is 1 mlg ages ago, and he beat some koreans here and there and people come with the "he is better than stephano" bullshit lol when in truth stephano has more prize money, more wins, more wins vs koreans, more EVERYTHING, and not just slightly.

his fans say "godslayer" when he cheesed flash out and then proceeded to get his ass kicked really bad in the extended series, i remember he even used shady tricks to beat nestea, quitting a match and pretending he didn't know it was cross only on metalopolis because he wanted his cannon cheese to work. also he got the luckiest brackets in gsl ever. none of these achievements are special.

even huk/mana had better accomplishments, he is not even the best protoss.

ps: even stephano's korean record is better than naniwa's. please guys get real.
