Destiny has potential, I think he's going to be a good zerg in the future, we'll see =)

I don't want to derail the thread but since someone mentioned it... it kind of sucks that as he joins this team, he has no chance of participating in the NASL because he is joining such a good team. While I still don't find it surprising that he joined ROOT, it seems like the rule will discourage many players to join in the future and make the team even stronger.

Honestly, unless he's a top player on a team like root he probably shouldn't even be going to the NASL.


Yes, but this also means any player who significantly improves from being on a team (or plans to improve by joining a team) will not be able to play unless they leave and join another team. That being said, they already have too many good players to send them all.

nice random hating. your as useless as early game HT's in 1.3


He is allowed to not like Destiny. While I find him to be hilarious, I can definitely see how some people might not like him.

You clearly haven't watched his stream for a while. When he wants to/needs to, Destiny can be a very serious, "mannered" player. He acts "immature" to some people, but most of the time he is there to entertain, which is the goal for any type of sport, no?

Haven't really been impressed by Destiny yet, but who knows.

They realize he has a lot of potential though. In the interview, he even states that he(Destiny) makes a living off of the ad revenue from streaming and coaching, freeing up his time for SC2. CatZ also says that he sees how devoted Destiny is to the game

User was warned for this post



The retard magnet is one if the most popular destiny videos on youtube. Pretty sure this guy shouldn't have been warned for this ;x It is a compliment not a flame. Not that warns really matter.

Thanks, I've made a note for the other mods to ignore that warning.

are you serious...


Are you serious? Have some respect. This thread is not about Destiny as a player, it's about his accomplishment making it on ROOT's team. Shouldn't you know the forum etiquette? Either way, it's completely their decision - not yours.

You're supposed to be a TL mod, but you act like a common whiny flamer, posting rude and demeaning comments. Destiny is a respected member of this community, and from what you can read above, Catz has legitimate reasons for Destiny's acquisition.

Therefore, and I may be banned for even saying this (but I feel it is my right to stand up for this belief), I believe that not only did you overstep your bounds as both a TL mod (who should abide by TL rules and set an example of respect to the community) but as a poster as well. As thus, I truly believe you deserve a temp ban, as would have been standardly issued to any other average troll/flamer.

I checked this thread, and the only post by Saracen is the one you quoted: "Are you serious...". It's an expression of surprise or disbelief which you seem to read a lot into. I wouldn't warn/ban a normal user for that, and there's no reason to do so for a mod.

I am warning you, not for standing up for your beliefs, but for calling a mod, who has spent a ton of time improving the community, a "common whiny flamer" based on a single ambiguous comment. If you expressed your opinion in a more reasonable manner, I would have had no problem it.


Because he did not display any type of 'pleasant' disbelief, it can only imply negativity. (I.e. Disbelief that Destiny made the team, which is not positive). I canthink of no way that this can be ambiguous because nobody posts a post like this, especially with the use of the ellipsis, that is simply neutral. Because it is not positive, it must then be negative.

Also, I apologize for assuming that you would normally temp ban a user for saying such a thing if that is not true.

It's pretty silly how quickly fanboys jump on any hint of negativity without considering any external factors. I've known Paulo for a while, and I've known the ROOT Team for a while. I've also played many ladder games with Destiny. Maybe I should have PM'd Paulo about it instead of posting in this thread, but if I have any misgivings, am I not allowed to express them in the appropriate thread? Paulo's post answered my questions, which is why I didn't feel the need to elaborate. But seriously, you need to chill. If you have a problem with moderation here, take it up with me (or any of the mods), or post about it in Website Feedback. There's no need to derail the thread (or any thread) into TL-mods-are-so-biased whine fest. If you disagree with the content of my post, then you can PM me about it.


No yeah srsly why does anyone care? I'm a pretty big fan, his stream has taken over my life but I really didn't see anything wrong with what you said. People are too concerned with others and their opinions on the internet. "Haters gonna hate" isn't just a meme guys, it's an attitude that you must take on inevitably as more and more people become aware of you. I'm cereal.

Wow this is cool news. I remember back in beta when his stream had 100 viewers on a good day. Glad to see him picked up by a good team.

Standard recruiting. Grats to Destiny! Hopefully see you at NASL?


Joining root probably will reduce his chances of getting into NASL no?

But good luck destiny. Hope he will follow mini's footstep and establish himself in the competitive scene.


Well, considering you can't get into NASL without being on a team, I'd say you are wrong.


nasl isnt the only tournament in the world...

This is terrible news. This can only mean the hilarious BM will decrease.

Imagine what will happen if he becomes good enough to beat really good terrans? No more rage!! QQ

Why don't you give him a chance to improve before you bash ROOT's decision?

Steven, I have been watching you since may of beta and watching you improve as a player has been to say the least awesome. I remember your mass roach strat and then when you began to shift towards the roach rush vs terran because of all the 2 rax and now you are finally beginning to reach your full potential. Even though you make stupid mistakes (a lot of stupid mistakes) you still are a good player. Joining ROOT was the best possible move for you, congrats and I hope to see you win a lot of tournaments in the future.
But yeah being a Korean gamer is very imba. If you're a non-korean gamer you have to balance your game playing with earning money and your real life. If you're Korean you just sit around playing games all day eating 2 cent ramyun and becoming gosu.

Great news! Somehow I knew this was coming. I think all those games against Drewbie and Catz the other day might have been tryouts.

Destiny's a really fun player to watch. Personally, I think the BM is entertaining to watch. And I love ROOT, so I hope his game improves a lot training more with them.

What I really enjoy and respect is ROOT's leader, Catz, coming in here multiple times to explain and defend the decision, when none is really needed. It's his clan and he can recruit who he wants, yet he takes the time to justify it to the best SC2 community (TL) out there. That really shows ROOT's commitment to their fanbase and that's always awesome to see. I wish Blizzard were half as proactive at keeping the community informed of their decisions and the reasoning behind it.

<3 ROOT fighting and GL Destiny!
