They have hired a pro WoW player? I thought WoW as an e-sport was kinda dead :/

Greatest gamer of what game?

I'm confused



Greater gamer of all the games. Athene proved again and again that he can make or break a game. He slaughtered every game he played, be it LoL / Sc2/ wow/diablo 3.


Care to link any SC2 tournament results? Or LoL?

Sup with the haters? Athene accomplishes more in a day than you do with your entire life. The guy is a sick pick up for ROOT gaming.

This is an enormous pick up for ROOT, regardless of whether or not he ever plays a game of SC2

Congrats!

I used to like Root.... now I dont. I have never liked Athene nor will I ever like him and I hate that people are willing to work with people who are really just in it for themselves.
You're not doing well, unless your being hated on.

surprised root is big enough to get athenes attention. I watched a follow up video and it seems athene became friends with kiwikaki (sc2/poker) and catz (sc2) and felt like joining based off that grown friendship. Interesting.

Kiwikaki Vibe



Not a root hater, but I don't think Kiwikaki is really playing right now. Vibe is good, but i don't think he has ever been in pool play for an MLG. When I look at just the SC 2 team, I feel like Slush is there best player, maybe drewbie(he did spend time in korea.) The athene pick up just doesn't make sense because I don't understand what he gives them as far as team stuff. Yes I get the fact he is popular and could attract money/sponsers. But at the end of the day you have to have players getting great results.

Athene plays WoW why would they even sign him o.O?

You are from the united states... You realise who is the champion of the united states is right?

Vibe is the foreign version of the old Polt :-(


That said, could some one give me a decent description about why i should care about athene?
The world is ending what should we do about it?

pretty much this.
nothing against them, I just wont be cheering for the team. I guess athene is a good pickup afterall, seeing how catz is trying to manage the teams. getting some personalities and friends.
