ROOT seems to be recruiting community figures rather than talented players.

Who's next, I wonder?

hey guys
i'm pretty sure that Athene create a Protoss-smurf account GM with 0 loss and 20 more wins at the beginning of the game.
Using always 4G no matter matchup / maps :D

Isn't it ?


PS : He is a coach in RAZER house too i believe.

As much as I love root I worry that they'll start heading towards pro entertainers instead of gamers. Won't change my opinion of them as I've always liked the groups mentality I would like to see them all play well in sc2
I have a question...

CatZ again proving that he is one of the smartest guys in the SC2 scene. Athene is a great guy and will bring a lot of attention to ROOT because his reach extends beyond eSports into the general gaming world.
The world ends when you’re dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man and give some back.

Athene will be the best sc2 player in the world. smart thinking by ROOT to pick him up while he's still a cheaper contract.

in all serious this seems like a good PR move. Athene has a ridiculously huge fan base. I see this helping out a lot. Maybe it'll attract more viewers to sc2

They also have more players in the WCS NA Finals than Liquid and EG combined. Oh snap.

Athene being in ROOT and doing nothing is still awesome for the team because it will bring them new followers/Athene fanboys interested in everything he does.
