I hate to be that guy and I'm happy for root but whats this got to do with SC2?

It's probably got something to do with ROOT being a Starcraft team.

Athene's pretty cool and kind of the best gamer in the world.

So with Athene on ROOT they can start owning them scrub nubs.

I'm always glad to see someone join Root Gaming. I guess with Root having both Sc2 & Dota they wanted someone to dominate all other Blizzard games/do charity stuff. He seems more of a personality pick up which is cool having all those world first acheivements is a lot of bragging rights.

Sup Dood welcome to Root Gaming and Best of Luck Athene!

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

well they do have roterdam, destiny and now athene which all are people lacking tournament results at the highest level compared to other pro gaming teams so i think you might be right about that


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


Mill has more player at the WCS EU Finals than root, oh wait Liquid only had 2players participating in the WCS US.
Gl to both Root and Athene, bringing new fans to the scene is never a bad thing
Zest fanboy.

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.

I believe it was Kiwikaki on his account.
And he didn't 4gate. He was just a pro tearing his way into high masters. About 50 games if I recall correctly with a 90+% winrate. You can check a couple on Husky's youtube page.

Someone should tell Athene that his "good friend" CatZ pronounces his name "cats", not "cat zee".

This is like some subliminal way of saying Kiwikaki is back baby!

OT:
This brings a lot of attention to Root and maybe to the Starcraft 2 scene. Athene is one of the biggest figures in e-sports, i wonder if this means he will be playing though.
Next invite will be Husky? :D

Are you kidding? Athene raised over a million dollars for charity, if that doesn't help attract sponsors or at least scream determination or motivation, then I don't know what does.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.
