Bleh, I don't want to see either Slush or Kiwi on EG, I think they'd be much cooler on Dignitas, Liquid or even Fnatic.

Yeah, I pretty dislike EG b/c of IdrA.
Make it Dignitas or TL

I would be surprised if this would have any effect on the Root house: whatever Kiwi's reasons are to not move with them I doubt it's bad enough to kick him out of the house for. :p

As to where Slush and Kiwi go team wise I don't know but they would be a good pickup for any team out there. I wouldn't be surprised if we would see them going to Liquid (Could use an extra player now that TLO is out for a while), EG/Fnatic or FXO (Those all have the money to pick up somebody I think).

I'm also looking forward to the next EG-Complexity clan war as Complexity now has CrunCher, Drewbie and Minigun; hi IdrA. :D


Kiwikaki isn't in the ROOT House...

It's Drewbie, Catz, TT1 and Fenix.

Just thought I'd point this out before more people talk about the "tension in the house" and shit like that.


Are you sure about that?
http://www.fnatic.com/blogs/Payam/2772/FnaticMSI-ROOT-House.html
Seems to imply it's actually Drewbie, Catz, TT1 and Kiwikaki.
Unless I'm mistaken or something has changed. It also clearly shows, Kiwi behind his computer in the house or a picture of a bedroom with "me and kiwis room" etc.

It will be interesting to see where the other players went to. We can only speculate until we find out, which will probably be soon enough but if I had to guess. Not guess but hope, to Korea!

The Code A invites are still pending, MLGLee has stated on Lo3 that they will only announce them when all of them have accepted. Slush is one of the player that could very well be able to take one. He could then go to Korea with kiwi, aren't they both french canadian or something? HuK is also already in Korea ofc. I feel those things should push people towards taking the step more because of the "favorable" conditions like that. Which team or how that would work, I can't even guess. Seems way too hard. Don't think FXO will pick them up. Maybe another team. But then not in Korea.

EG perhaps? They are always looking and with a practice house going up soon. For players like Kiwi and Slush, it could be a good fit to join and make the house that much stronger.
I don't know tbh. The Korea seems a bit farfetched, I'll go with EG and team EG training factory ^^

KiWiKaKi has said multiple times he's not into Starcraft for money and has enough on his own. I really wouldn't be surprised if Slush and KiWi went around as a package deal just because they could. I would be even less surprised if they started their own team... french-Canadian bond and all. I hope they don't go to FXO, they are way overrated. I'd like to see them both join Liquid (probably not) or Dignitas (more likely, but still not probable). Then there's Fnatic and EG, which already have pretty big rosters and I couldn't see wanting two players, so only if Kiwi and Slush don't go around as a 2-man deal. We could see a double pick up from a European team like mousesports, who would love to jump at the opportunity to expand to NA and outside Europe with two great players. Out of all possible scenarios, I think them doing their own thing together is more likely, whether it's a team or just them dicking around being awesome as poop.

That was before last MLG, like I said earlier, he was there to prepare for it. He hasn't been there for a while now. As for the Code A invite, Slush has stated that he has no desire to accept it, so unless he changes his mind, that's a "No" as well.

Sad to see ROOT go... Good for the guys to get some extra $$$ I suppose.

Hoping KiWi joins Dignitas.

This is sad. I love ROOT, but I hate Cruncher and indirectly that makes me hate complexity.

So wherever Kiwi and Slush land will be my new favorite team (or teams)
im bad

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.


I find myself thinking the exact same thing :/

Damn it CatZ, how could you do this to me!

Hmm :/ I really enjoyed the "Indy" feel I got from ROOT. It was a laid back attitude that no other teams have shown.

As sad as this makes me, I'm sure Catz wouldn't have done this unless is was of great benefit to him and his players.
