As mentioned before i felt that naniwa fit in in Dignitas, its too bad really.

I'd love to see Naniwa and SaSe on the same team!

I bet dignitas will soon be like "hah naniwa, we don't care if u leave us, cos there is this other protoss who is probably as good as you but doesnt have a team, and we are gonna sign him. you might have heard of him by the way, his name is SaSe". XDXD

The more I think about it, the more I can see Naniwa going to live in a Korean pro-gaming house. This means either a Korean team, or a team with a partnership with a Korean team so he can have a stable practice environment.
However he isn't going to want to undersell himself, which is why I think he turned down FXO. To me this leaves Liquid, EG or Complexity. Now I'm not sure Liquid or EG would want him, EG because they have Huk and Liquid because they possibly can't afford him, and he does have a bit of a reputation, even if that's a bit of an outdated reputation and partly caused by the language and culture difference (Naniwa always seems to get along well with Swedes). To me this leaves Complexity.
And to further reinforce my view that this is where he's going, he is currently living in the MvP house. *Puts down pipe*

troll?? have you ever heard Nani speak? ever? he has like the most awesome personality, watch SotG episode 41, hes hilarious, look at the DH Valencia picture, he has a great sense of humour; look at Thorzain and naniwa TL attacks. nani would be an AWESOME addition to TL. hey, hey, Nazgul...MOAR SWEDES PLZ :D lol

If Liquid couldn't afford to keep Huk why do you think they will be able to afford Naniwa? Because I don't think Naniwa is parting ways with Dignitas because of the money.

look at Jinro, nicest guy in the world, he swears so much, remember the group ceremony? Naniwa is basically like Jinro in many ways, incredibly dedicated, funny, swedish(lol) so why wouldnt he fit in TL?

Liquid couldn't afford to match EG's offer.
|
after he fulfilled a contract for the 1st time, dignitas just don't want to take the risk to give him another. They did everything right.
|
I really didn't see this coming, i really think that Nani and Dignitas went so well together. Oh well.
I wish you the best of luck in the future Naniwa, as you are one of my favorite protosses <3

Umm...
Not showing up to TSL Finals party after losing to Thorzain Complaining about close map position at EU Blizzcon Qualifiers after losing to Ret (and going "hehe" when he scouts the close pos)
And those are the recent ones when he was part of Dignitas (not even the ones long before). Just because he's hilarious (just like Idra) doesn't mean he's BM and a bad fit for TL. Also if they were gonna shell out the money for Nani they would've just found a way to keep HuK, I'm pretty sure Naniwa is going to command a salary at a comparable level.

This is your chance col! :O A coL pick up would be great then he'd automatically get to MVP house and then any necessary flight out to foreign events.

No korean team has nearly enough money. Stop saying that. He is not gonna play for food and shelter alone... Judging by his interviews where he hammers on the fact that he would do anything to become the best SC2 player in the world, I could definitely see Naniwa doing just this. I don't think he will. He is a very proud person and pretty well known in the scene. He is gonna play without a salary for food and shelter alone while other foreigners who are far less accomplished get payed and sponsored?
"If I'm not the best, then I have no reason to play" Paraphrased. He says that all the time in interviews.

If NaNiwa joins EG, I'm gonna be really really really REALLY mad. Hope he joins a Korean team instead.

Hmm, intresting indeed ...

EGNaniwa? funniest shit if it ever happens

I really don't think Nani is all that volatile as far as his public personality goes. Maybe he's nuts behind the scenes but that's impossible to say. I still don't think Liquid is looking to sign more players at the moment and that this whole conversation is kind of moot, but I don't think Nani's personality is particularly against Liquid's principles.
