Hm, originally I thought he could be an EG-TL pickup considering EG said they're going to expand their roster, have dropped Puma, and so on. But if he's THAT hostile to Thorzain (not to mention an existing dislike with Idra) I can't see it happening.

Could be Acer or Axiom, I guess.


WHy is everybody calling EG? -_- If They are really working with coach park then their next pickups would never be some foreign protoss. They need Terrans


"Originally I thought...can't see it happening"

Not the best at reading comprehension, eh?


Ah well sorry for picking your post i guess it wasnt the best example. Just took the most recent post mentioning EG as a possibility.I did read that you were not expecting EG to pick him up. Would have probably been better if i didnt quote anybody specific. My bad

Western Wolves has announced Daisy and Arthur this week, does that make it more likely they'll announce a third being NaNiwa or less likely? haha

Well, they don't have to pay Infiltration anymore, so I guess it liberate a bunch of money for other stuff.

I like the dude, I think a lot of people forget that real life nani that we see on twitter and being hilarious is not competitive in game nani that people think can be arrogant. I hope he goes to a team with a big reputation :O.

I would simply love Naniwa in Startale. He's already lived there when he was in Quantic and as far as I know he got well along the team.

Happy to see him come out directly and state he's much better than Thorzain. There's no reason for him to pretend.

Maybe if it actually was a rivalry it would be OK...

Thorzain is the nicest little dude, and then Nani floats by and drops the smack-talk. I'm not a fan of all the BM and player bashing, but if you're gonna do it, pick on somebody that is on the same ego level like Idra, Huk, or Major.

Eh, my opinion clearly isn't in the majority. The community seems to love angsty, angry players getting mad.

I just think the "big personality, big talk" players should pick on each other and leave the manner players alone. Then we all can have our cake and eat it too.
I don't Micro, I FEMTO. That's 9 orders of magnitude more extreme.

Whoever it is it will be a 'step down' sort of a pick.

Naniwa's basically unemployable at this point. He's almost impossible to work with, wants loads of money and isn't actually that good anymore and with the Kespa dominance he'll get even further from the top. Plus while he has a fanbase he lacks the personality to work well with sponsors and do any other adult like activities.

I wouldn't even have Naniwa in a top 50 in the world list, he was always pretty overrated and had a shocking 2012.

(P)Acer|NaNiwa please. 1) They need more Protoss. 2) They are in Korea playing GSTL with Axiom.

My guess is that he joins a KESPA team though


afaik he turned down team 8's offer and there is no other kespa team that would want him to be honest. Theres so much talent in korea that i see no reason why a kespa team would recruit him.


Foreign fan base? Profit outside of Korea? etc.



Foreign fan base?
all the kespa teams except Samsung are domestic companies (but still huge), why would they
recruit Naniwa when there are much more talented players out there ?
