Haha, I really like Athene, I was a lowly holy pally scrub in Vanilla WoW but I got some tipz and I was owning face in no time.

Just consecrate and heal yourself. Sappah charge BAM, etc. etc.

Whoo, another team to start rooting against, if you'll excuse the pun.

Going by the little I've seen from Athene I'm not too excited about this, but maybe there's something I'm missing. I'll still support ROOT, though.

He is basically a sponsor magnet, perfect for people to pay attention to your team.

I see. Well, if it helps ROOT I'm all for it.

Just can't see why they would pick up Athene, I mean people with large followings and high viewership numbers turn away sponsors, and the sc2 players on the team have no need for sponsors. Just thought I'd chime in with my gloomy interpretation of this.

I wonder when he will achieve anything in SC2.

Probably never.

So I love the people behind Root gaming and all but who's next? Kesha? Justin Beiber or maybe Miley Cyrus?

Not sure where they're heading with this kind of recruitment - perhaps they're just focusing on content more like EG.

He is not gonna be a pro player guys.He is in his mid 30's guys,com'n.
He is just gonna do PR for them,promote them,help them as they will help him.
I'm guessing they are gonna do fan videos with him,like L2play DotA/sc2 etc.
I dont't expect him even having a salary in this team.
The only reason i see him joining ROOT is because he is good friends with CatZ and Kiwikaki.
Also maybe to promote ESPORTS to gaming community,I see that as a good option too.
