Today compLexity Gaming is thrilled to announce that we have acquired ROOT Gaming and the majority of the roster. For quite some time we have been pursuing this extremely talented group of gamers. Recently we were able to come to an agreement and we are very confident this is a large step in our journey towards greatness in StarCraft 2.

Edward Chang – Manager

Paulo “CatZ” Vizcarra
Andrew “drewbie” Moysey
Chad “Minigun” Jones
Steven “Destiny” Bonnell II
Jung Ho “DdoRo” Moon

As many of the ROOT faithful will notice, Kiwikaki and Slush chose not to make the move. We assure you that both compLexity and ROOT management made all possible efforts to keep the squad together. In the end they decided to pursue another opportunity and we wish them the best of luck.

“We couldn’t be more excited about this addition,” said Jason Lake, CEO of compLexity Gaming. “Building a championship division takes time, patience and the right combination of players and management. The intangibles this group possesses and the passion with which it engages StarCraft 2 will definitely get us that much closer to being a top global contender. We’re not done building our SC2 division, but this was a big leap forward.”

Edward Chang, Managing Director of ROOT Gaming had this to say: "We are very excited to join forces with compLexity Gaming. They've been a huge name for many years in many different fields, and I've personally known Jason for a long time. Joining up will help bolster the coL.SC2 roster and allow our players to focus on becoming the best in North America. We tried what we could to keep the team intact, and we wish Paul and Jo the best in their gaming careers. For all of the ROOT fans, please stick with us through this transition and cheer on compLexity!"

Well, KawiKiki and Slush were the two biggest names on ROOT's roster, so I'm not sure if that deal was a success for Complexity.

Shame the best Protoss in NA isn't an addition to their roster. Hopefully they aren't stranded without a team too long!

Aside from what kiwi and slush end up doing... I'm curious to see if complexity tries to neuter destiny's vocabulary, or lack thereof ^^

Nooooo, I'm so sad ROOT is gone. I was hoping they were going to make it as a team. Even worse; they're losing two of their best players. I hope they find a new team soon. FXOKiwi gogo.
