Definitely a lot more professional than wallowing in second-tier NA because moving would "cut into my streaming money" Naniwa definitely has his priorities set competitively. | ||

Throw Naniwa in there and the night is RUINED. The Proleague line-ups for Round 4 have been released and Naniwa isn't on any of them, so it seems very unlikely that he'll be on any of the Proleague teams (including EGTL). If he's been signed for a week or two, then I'd guess the team would have put him on the line-up and done an announcement by now. Looking a lot less like EG or TL. Isn't there a 'timeframe' where you can be on the team but you can't play? Just like Parting. | ||

(source is IdrA's real talk with JP) didn't people say the same thing about HuK being an over energetic BM kid? | ||

Now if he only actually did the qualifiers instead of getting seed after seed after seed (i honestly lost the count) the whole "competing with Koreans" might actually have some more worth. | ||
