As of today we've decided to part ways with
Johan "NaNiwa" Lucchesi. He joined the fnatic team just around 3 months back and as of now he will no longer be associated with the team. It's a loss for the team to lose a good player, but a team decision has been taken regarding this matter.

"After careful consideration and thought within the team we decided to let go of NaNiwa, he was a good pick for the team but unfortunately things didn't work out between the players and him. It's not been the best of times but he has provided us with some good games in the few months that he has been in our team and today we chose to part ways with him. We wish him the best of luck for the future, and stay tuned for further updates on the team"
The roster now looks as follows:
-
RotterdaM
-
XyLigan
-
Satiini
-
Rob

comment from NaNiwa:
main reason i left was because off the money was VERY VERY VERY low and also i couldnt practise since rotti only Ladder Xyli ladder Rob ladder and Satiini poker. even tho the salary was extremely low i decided to stay there for a while but then at WCG Sweden fnatic refused to pay my hotel so... i had no choice
Here u can find it

Haha.. let me tell you the the truth to that whining little... ##%%$# because elroy is being politcal and i really cant be arsed any more.
First of all we offer to pay his travel and hotel to wcg sweden but we cant find a hotel so we ask him to book one as hes swedish but he whines to hell saying that i cant believe you didnt book the hotel bla bla bla.. ask any of our players we have always booked and paid for them to go to qualifiers.
We were also looking at the options for him to go to china and we offered to raise his salary to 350 dollars pay for his flights, accomodation and food while he was out there.. and he whines and says omg 350 dollars.... tommorrow i tell you if i stay in fnatic or not..
I'm sorry but fnatic is a family and we just can't tolerate idiots.

Actually I would disagree with you on that, the team is more united now, we're all relieved by his presence and everything is 100$ back on track. If at all anything, we were just under a lot of stress with his presence, not anymore.

Well like Sam said , fnatic is a family . And we live like a family , always together , always stay mannered , talk nicely etc. And if we want to be on top , we must play with players which we respect and like to see them near us . So thats why we kicked naniwa . We gave him chance but ... sometime ppl dont understand what they are losing . Hope naniwa understood what he lose . Anyway i wish him good luck and wish good luck his new team WITH HIM :) peace

sam talking shit as usual,Offered to pay me ? you gave me 21 dollar to find a hotel, For china deal i was supposed to go go with 600 for 6 months and in the end the deal i get is 350 for 3 months are you fucking kidding me or what

We clearly meant it to be 21$ for a hostel, since the CS team couldn't share a room with you. You were never told we'd pay you 600$ for 6 months, getting the visa for 6months was up to you not us. As for 350$ a month that was how much you would have needed, think we already discussed this out with you.
Don't go spreading lies. You flamed enuff when you were in fnatic, grow up a little already.

350 a month on top of hotel accomodation and food seems good to me in china where the average salary is like 200$ not including those three things.

Probably get a lot more working in Mc'donalds and hours to suit! Does 350 a month even hit minimum wage in Sweden?

I just want to say that I logged specially to flame NANIWA. Man you are retarded shitkid. How stupid can you possibly be? Think about it, you are stupid and limited, you are worse than my dog, it responds to commands unlike you. You can't even translate them. You are pathetic player with a big mouth, and wichever team chooses to hire you must be aware of your low IQ. Furthermore I hate unthankful bitch with pimples on your face and hair like a tree. There are cosmetics for this stuff are you stupid or ugly. Fnatic has obviously being so patient towards you offering you something that half of China will never have and you stay see can't get it? Yes you are retarded, please respons to my post, I want to fight you verbally if not, you are retarded. Either way you are retarded, no mather how good you are at the game.

This is indeed some quality shit, nice to see how managment is getin' SOOO low and starting to flame and trying to justify the move they thought was a right decission :) If you have done smth, then you must realize it's smth you've done right, I don't think that ppl do things wrong, after they post that "After careful consideration" - you have have carefully considered it, why are you trying to justify it :D Just silly, but well, gl to Nani :) and lollero at fnatics' orgas ^^;;

I think the way zro's come out and talked about it in public only makes him look more professional and is a clear statement how much effort he puts into this. Business dont grow from sitting at a seat at the end of a long table in a meeting acting prude, thats just television zapping reality :(

I think that the WarCraft 3 team has been nothing but troubles ever since it excists. With a few exceptions left out obviously.
Sam, you should know better than bitching with a player on your own website. You are still the 'big boss' of the company Fnatic. You could and should have solved this a lot more professional imo. I guess we all learn from our mistakes.

Sizah I think you should not make comments when you have no idea of the situation. We have been very tolerant with this player over many weeks even though he has been rude to his team mates and as Sam says we believe in team spirit and unity. We believe in fair play, professionalism, respect for others and to be well mannered.
We could not allow Naniwa to be so openly critical and not respond when he was not telling the truth. We could have deleted his entries but we've let him speak.
A great team is a United team and I feel we have a great core unit now with Rotti, Xyligan, Rob and Satiini and maybe Abver :) Plus Noname is a superb Manager who cares for the players and is really working very well with everyone.
Fnatic will not tolerate bad behaviour. Lets move on and go team :)

I am not talking about the problems with Naniwa, as I indeed don't know anything about it. I am sure that you have a valid reason of removing him. I am not questioning your judgement on that. I am sure you made a good move with that, because Fnatic is indeed a family. Its good that you do not tolerate bad behaviour.
However, my comment is purely based on your actions of getting outside to the scene. I can also understand your anger, but there's different ways of reaching out to the community, like with a press release or an interview to clear things out. I am sure there's many media who would like to do you a favour with that, which would have been a more professional way of clearing things out.

A lot's being said about how Sam responded, I think honestly both sides of the story need to be told and that's probably the only reason why Sam wrote what he did.
Being dignified and politically correct is great (look at my statement), elfittaja left fnatic and it wasn't fine with us but even if we did so talk in a news post we never said anything to him since he was kind enough not to flame us for what reasons he left. He could have also said "why I left fnatic" But instead chose not to.
Oh well at the end of the day, even this post doesn't matter since there will be flames after this too. Just know that no one in fnatic who has been in contact with him misses him in anyway.

If you have realy a serious disagreement and both site need a break, ok, but still do it as friends. Or try it at least.^^
