If they wanted to keep him, they should have signed him to a contract (and had his parents co-sign). As for the 'court of public opinion,' I for one don't blame him. And frankly, I don't think the people in this thread speaking out against GosI really care.

If he becomes a good player, all is forgiven.

I think it's just a typical case of a young kid not really knowing what's best for himself. Like most teens, he's always in search of new shiny things rather than looking at the big picture or planning for the long haul. Hopefully, he'll come to realise sooner than later that things like stability, solid friendships, discipline...etc are crucial in his development as a progamer.

That kid needs to drop his bm attitude. I agree that he has big potential.

This reminds me of someone chaining a dog up in the backyard and claiming he loves you soooo much that he would never ever run away. Likewise, if you have to 'handcuff' a guy to a team with a contract for the sole purpose of simply keeping him on the team and making sure he doesn't run away, what's even the point? Why would anyone involved with ROOT want someone who doesn't want to be there?

I feel bad for the next team that picks him up in all honesty. I'm sure every team that has picked him up has thought "Well yeah he changed teams all the time in the past, but we're different, we can change him." It's like NFL teams continuing to add Randy Moss to their team even though every team he has been on is adamant that he has attitude problems and causes more issues than he's worth. But there will always be that one team that thinks they can change him or they think he is worth the risk.

Although your point about most people in this thread not caring is probably true, after all we don't have any personal stake in where he goes or if he BMs or anything at all really; but this of course is a forum to discuss Starcraft related news and events so here we are - people who don't really care giving their 2 cents. :p

I don't know how this thread got to 18 pages. The first couple pages summed up all the relevant thoughts about this quite concisely. He's a notorious clan hopper, and this was expected. Why say anything else?

Cleverly put! You changed my opinion on whether Root should've signed GosI.

How very awful, expected, and surprising altogether.

I would think the general public felt a sense of change and potential for Gosi as he started a new game with a new team, but alas.

Sometimes Gosi is so bizarre, I think he cannot be well. It is of my opinion that his age alone does not account for his behavior. It seems as though he's a very troubled young man.

Because he decided to trash his ex-team in a post somewhere between the first few pages and the 19th page.

The fact is we could offer you the same deal or somewhat of a better deal than the team you're joining which I won't disclose is offering you, but I talked to drew and we decided its not worth it rewarding you at all, while we have teammates and friends who have been with us for over a year and clearly deserve sponsorship more than someone who joined us what, a month ago?

You lack respect, and you just copy koreans, you'll be a great player no doubt... but if you can't think for yourself you have a cap we try to avoid in the team. Its a shame, good luck in the future Juan.

I'm glad all of your effort of playing this game for 1 month is about to pay off, and im also relieved we won't have to deal with you to be honest, you're full of good intentions, and you're a nice guy, but you're def missing some screws.

Wish poeple would just lay off, he may be a notorious clan jumper but he didn't do anything to ROOT. Its their choice whether they ask him to join knowing that he could possibly leave, he has the right to move when he pleases. I'd assume due to ROOT's odd status in regards to sponsors there is no real formal contractual agreement among members (though I'm probably wrong). Anyway what I'm saying is tease him all you want, even point out he was a bit of an ass in the past but overally Terran is a bit of a boss so just give him a break. Not like the SC2 gods declared thou shalt not leave a clan if you do not like it.


He did this in BW, he's doing it again in SC2.

He wants a team that will support him in sponsoring him to go to different events, but I doubt any team that could afford it at this point would bother. As several people have said, he bounced between teams like a pinball in BW, changing almost weekly. It shows a major lack of professionalism, and I really don't care what age he is, if he's seeking sponsorship, he should be able to show maturity and respect.


Naniwa has done exactly the same thing and doesn't even have the excuse of being a kid yet people dont give him an unbelieviably hard time. The way I see it ROOT has a responsibility to make it clear what they can offer their members and if a member doesn't get what they think they deserve, why the hell can't they leave.

People need to get off their high horses, just because you leave a clan or team doesnt make you a bad person and demonising him as such is just silly. Sure its expected but it doesnt mean he should be public enemy number one just because people seem to love ROOT all of a sudden.


Not the same situations though lol, Naniwa was kicked off a team for getting kicked otu of the EPS, then was given a chance by Empire to prove himself, where he did, and moved on to Dignitas because he needed a team that would offer him sustainability and the chance to show himself as one of the best players in Europe. He's proved himself over time. Gosi's played SC2 for a month and a half and not done any major accomplishments and then just rags on ROOT and their sponsors

once a clan hopper, always a clan hopper. shame to see such potential in such a clown. srsly you would have to have like a stroke to want to leave ROOT. although i do wonder which party was the one that called for the change.

I'm pretty sure once he gets on a team that sponsors him to tourneys, something that few people ever had in BW, he won't clan hop anymore. All he needs to work on now is his attitude.
