BabyKnight left NaVi and will announce a new team tomorrow.

Statements:
Vladimir “zOo” Akhlebinin – Head of FXOpen eSports Europe:
"It’s been a very intense year of our cooperation, but unfortunately, the overall result wasn’t as good as we expected. On behalf of our team I wish Jon all the best in his career of professional gamer."
Artem "Fairon" Bykov – Na`Vi.FXOpen StarCraft 2 team manager:
"Since the foundation of the team, Jon was the only English-speaking player in our roster. Despite the language barrier, he fitted the team perfectly and easily found understanding with other players."
Jon "BabyKnight" Andersen:
"It's been a pleasure to be a part of Na`Vi.FXOpen, but all things come to an end and it's time for me to move on. There were some communication issues and some other problems, not everything was perfect. It doesn't matter who's fault it is, what matters is that the problems were there, and I think it's in the interest of both sides to move on."
Edit: BabyKnight joins Millenium

Millenium, 100% sure. Welcome buddy 
|
I wonder whether Liquid approached him, too. Imo he would be a perfect fit. Anyways, good luck with Mill!
|
Well, hope he's gonna enjoy Marseille.
Still a nice pick up he's one of the best EU toss right now.
Though i'm still hoping for M to pick another world class player some day.

surprising tbh. I remember he was hyped up and had good results in the first HoTS MLG. Guess he's not doing as well nowadays as he and FXOpen wanted? Best of luck to Babyknight!

I think it's more they wanted to focus on CIS and since BabyKnight is a Dane they considered him out of their focus. Idk just mindless speculation maybe he'll join Copenhagen Wolves (Though I've heard bad stories of them not paying their league team)

Not to mention the language barrier, being the only one they have to speak english to.

I think it will be swedish part of team EG, it would make a lot of sense to me.

He won't join Copenhagen Wolves.
All the best danish sc2 players basically know eachother, becasuse we meet and play eachothers at all the LAN's, except for Babyknight...
His reason was something like that he felt that the other danes sucked, so ofcourse we began to dislike him, and see him as sort of a douchebag.
So i don't think he will ever join CW, as they simply don't like him as a person.
|
I hope he joins with Liquid. He's pretty close with Ret, so it would make sense.
|
strong rumors about him joining Millenium, would be cool since he's a such nice player
|
How does everyone know its Mill??
|
I think he could join acer as well because they hvaen't got protoss players in their roster.
|
He joins team Grubby. Im calling it
|
I get the impression lack of results are the reason he's "leaving"
If Navi want results maybe they should attempt to put some effort in instead of praying natural talent develops itself for them.
|
prOxySC2: Llewellys (millenium's coach) said they were searching a protoss player and that he will be announced tomorrow
|
Welcome to you Mill.BabyKnight ! :D

At the time he said it because rest of DK wasn't any competition to him, which is true. Cant hate for being honest about something which is obvious to everyone. Also, the gain of Dk tournaments is quite small as well. That most danish players are starting to improve a lot recently is just good, and if the gains will get higher it might create incentive for babyk to join danish tournaments as well.

I would like mouz tbh, but it seems that everyone is sure it will be Millenium.
|
Hoping its Mouz or Mill :D

Many signs.
The manager of team Millenium is also caster for sc2 and he speaks a lot. Since the pause of feast he was looking for a protoss player at least as good as Feast.
This afternoon he said on his twitter in french that a new player will be announced in 24 hours.
Considering that Babyknight will announce his new team tomorow, there's a very good chance that he'll join Mill.

First non Swedish player for Alliance ?
Mouz trying to get a strong 5th for team leagues ?
Liquid actually making a move ?
Acer looking to get a good protoss to diversify their roster ?
Millenium looking to replace Feast ?
It's hard to tell.
But Babyknight deserve a good position, he worked his ass off to become one of the top European player.

I feel pretty certain that lack of results isn't the reason. They haven't exactly shipped him to many tournaments, and his performances in WCS haven't been bad compared to most foreigners, or their other players.
NaVi's starcraft team isn't exactly a big team, nor does it seem like they've done much for him, so their expectations can't be that high.
It does however seem likely that he didn't really fit in with regards to location and language and what not.
It always felt like a weird fit, and I am sure he can gain much more from a team that makes more sense.
|
i hope EG picks him up even though i doubt it.. would be nice to see him on a team where he can truly prosper
|
Welcome to M brotoss ! I am sure this will benefit to you !
|
we as a community have got to do away with the announcements of an announcement.
|
Either Babykight or Genius, Llewellys has said for a while that he was looking for a Korean protoss but maybe it was to build hype after all.

Acer for sure
Acer would never recruit a protoss

|
he'll be back. third time's the charm, just ask MajOr
|
Millenium is his new team.
|
Well if it's not Millenium, I am just going to throw Diginitas out there.
|
Can't be Liquid, they're too busy moving to the new HQ! No time to think about getting new player
|
|
|
I hope it's Acer. It needs a Protoss. But I doubt it if they are planning to sign up Innovation
|
God this is killing me. I want to know!

That whole Na`Vi - FXOpen thing is pretty messy from what I understand. He could probably get better offers elsewhere.

NaNiwa needs someone to train PvP with
AllianceBabyKnight ftw, it just fits so well.

Could create a lot of fun situations, especially after Naniwa having flamed MOBA games so much. Mostly LoL but also dota 2 a bit, lets add another person to Aliance that loves dota 2 to hate on Naniwa :D

XMG Please....ToD needs some more brotoss partners.

Think it might be WWMCZ, but not quite sure.. Think SaSe's there already along with SortOf, Morrow, and TargA, not quite sure though..
But yah - Mill would be great for him and the team..
EDIT: lol, nice find then.. Hope he does well in Mill..
