"As 2011 comes to an end, so too does KawaiiRice’s time with Fnatic. Fnatic is looking to move in a different direction with the current Starcraft 2 team, a direction KawaiiRice was not going in. With all original members of the Fnatic Starcraft 2 team now gone from Fnatic, KawaiiRice was the last man standing. Missing his former teammates and with a shift in direction and change in the team atmosphere, it was time for Fnatic and KawaiiRice to go our separate directions."

so curious which other team will pick him up

Kawaii is such a good player. Very beastly when practiced and in shape. Cannot wait to see who picks him up.

Sigh, personally i'm tired with all the professionalism "we were heading in different directions" comments. Obviously it's the professional thing to do but i'd like to hear more about certain situations... Guess i have to get in the "know"

Seems to be fairly simple though.

Kawaii is spending a ton of time managing kiwi clones. On top of that he has school and everything else going on. Fnatic likely is focusing on bringing more Korean players into the fold. Since most of their Korean team is still around. plus ToD being in Korea too. It would make a lot of sense.

Kawaii isn't willing to drop school for sc at this point (afaik). So I assume this is the likely cause.

80% 90% of professional players would be out of a job if teams expected a championship from every player in it's roster.

Team LiquidUnderneath it all they were really quite nice. They just got screwed up. Mostly by stuff that wasn't entirely their fault.
