Since Naniwa left Quantic a week ago, he had no team to go to IEM Cologne with. Now he found a personal sponsor for this event in Mionix.
The Swedish manufacturer for computer peripherals has chosen to help Johan 'Naniwa' Lucchesi travel to IEM Cologne. Exactly one week after he was granted release from his contract with Quantic due to quarrels with the organization and his teammate SaSe mostly, Naniwa turned to Mionix for a personal sponsorship. Whether it will exceed the time frame of the IEM is unknown as of now.
Peter Nygren, CEO of Mionix, said the following:
“When we heard that Johan had left his previous team and was interested in participating at IEM we felt it was the natural step for us to offer him that possibility, as a part of our approach in to E-sports and to keep on building brand awareness within the scene. We are proud to work together with Johan and are confident that this partnership will lead to great things ahead”
Naniwa adds:
"I'm excited to have Mionix as my main sponsor and partner for IEM. It will be a great opportunity for me to meet all the European and International fans and show great games in the tournament. I've always known that Mionix has great products and this partnership will definitely help me in this tournament but also in my future career”
