Really nice statement. Could have made it a lot worse. I hope he does come back after a break though. I enjoyed his play.

So what game is Naniwa playing now? It can't be DOTA or LoL because Naniwa considers those to be "easy games" and he only likes challenging games ... what game could it be :o (clearly its LoL just a poke at Naniwa)

Well she is dating the captain of the dota team and was acting as manager for the dota team before alliance picked them up, and continued to do so when they added a sc2 division, but for both games.

So what game is Naniwa now persuing? I'd be curious to see how he performs. Though given the amount of dedication he has for himself to succeed, I can't see how he wouldn't find success so long as he's motivated to play the game.

Pretty vanilla, he didn't want to play, so they aren't keeping him on the team.


The amount of people in the other thread who thought Naniwa wanted to stay on Alliance was unreal. He was pretty clear that he was leaving SC2.

Nice of alliance for talking him up a little, wouldn't expect less.


As for his next game, it would be hilarious to see him try a team-based game like dota or whatever.

When did he start liking LoL? I remember he liked dota, but always talked down about LoL.

In his most recent interview he said he started liking it after seeing Korean games and seeing how skilled the players were.

Well, I suppose its cool Kelly is in management at Alliance, didn't know that. But this statement didn't capture anything that anyone actually wanted to know.

It was announced when alliance == eg was announced. She's the manager of the dota team too.

This statement may be a bunch of generic positive bs, but if it's not really the drama we wanted, that's probably for the best.

I really enjoyed watching Naniwa play. He is very creative. He innovated or developed many of the leading strategies. Just look at how many Day[9] Dailies focused on analyzing Naniwa's play! I'm sorry he lost his passion for Starcraft. I wish he could live in a team house with other dedicated foreigners and maybe a random mercenary Korean or two like MC or Stardust. He really seems to need a structured and supportive environment. Actually, it's too bad he never joined My-insanity since they have exactly that sort of team house in Switzerland. I hope Naniwa gets tired of MOBAs fast -- just like Marine King.

PS: this statement from Alliance is very classy. They seem to be very professional, and they didn't burn any bridges. That makes it easier for Naniwa to return someday.


That's not classy at all. An honest account of Naniwa's successes and problems would have been classy. The complete whitewash management released can't be taken seriously, and is most likely (and hopefully) not genuine.

Also the lack of grammar checking in a official statement is kind of irking.


Thats kellymilkies for you.

Maybe they would rather remember his positive side and part ways on a good note?

Not everyone loves being a drama llama. Granted naniwa had faults, granted they probably were not happy with what he did at iem. Regardless of what they were unhappy with, they dont have to hang alll his dirty laundry, burn all bridges and hang him at the stake. They applauded him for his positive side and kept it as that, but its not enough for Mr.Perfect?


im not defending his previous attitude or behaviour but all humans have defects and there is this famous saying of say something positive or remain silent

Naniwa's statement hardly reads as though there was a 'mutual agreement or that it went this happily', very typical press statement, nothing to see here imho.

These are businesses doing work, not high school drama.
