EPTIf Kiwi and Slush join Fnatic or Liquid, the team they join becomes my new favorite team.
If they join some other team, Dignitas becomes my new favorite team.
If they join Dignitas, super cool shit.

My thoughts... pretty much EXACTLY... lmao That's why I loved ROOT, they picked up players and build them up. what building did they do though? really? they picked up major which was huge for them. then basically told him we cant support you, even though he was clearly going to be their big hitter. so he understandably left. they picked up destiny when people still believed he might become a big name, but since then hes fallen back into a streams-a-lot-funny-guy. the first team to be able to put together any kind of pro house, and none of their players have become better because of it. their best players dont even live in the house. its all well and good rooting for the underdog but you cant argue that root are the estro of america | ||

I would say ROOT does perform better teamwise than EG, but look at they're roster.

(Fayth was never good. period) Zerg-IdrA/Strifecro vs Slush/Catz - Ofcourse IdrA dominates here, but slush and catz are still REALLY good. and Strifecro's a joke compared to them. to Summarize, EG has two good playing team members. ROOT has more. but dont get it confused. IdrA nerd stomps them all everytime. i can give Incontrol some slack though considering his obviously huge other contributions to e-sports. You just cant co-cast the biggest e-sports tourney 10 hours a day 5 days a week and still being to play at the highest calibur. (Minigun beat him one time in a tourney round that wasnt even elimination, big deal. that make his record vs Idra combined with ladder like 4-50) Axslav is decent, but the only reason him and strifecro even originally got on EG's roster was bc of their 2v2(they used to be the best in the world) and watching them get REPEATEDLY stomped in 2s in the EG master's cup, I'm sure their contracts will get seriously looked at,come resigning time. If at least Kiwi joined EG, their team would go from "decent" as it currently stands to being able to compete with with Dignitas and Mouz (easily the two best non korean teams) | ||

And I have to say that I lost my interest in this team now. I liked ROOT because how they were sticking together and not take offers like this but I guess the money for sending players to events and stuff became a problem at the end. I wont cheer for compLexity because I have something against that organisation since back in the days of CS 1.6 lol. | ||

This is nonsense as he has repeatedly said he is one of the decent/good protoss players. He has however said he wouldn't be doing as well as he is if he wasn't protoss. | ||

I mean the only reason I can see that ROOT would choose to sell out to coL is because they already knew KiwiKaki and Slush were leaving. But why would coL pick up Root when the two top players left is beyond me... And its a big "fuck you" to their current roster, if they even plan on keeping them. | ||

2. no news here, catz spoiled this on destiny's stream the other day 3. col gets more exposure, root guys get more cash. this is the good part. however, col doesn't get top players, and root doesn't get top dollar, so unless the team invests a lot into potential and the players start working really seriously instead of fucking around like they've been so far, i don't see anyone involved in this deal benefitting in the long run. 4. good luck to kiwi, the i was wondering when he was gonna leave root, it was only a matter of time, and this move by root gave him the perfect excuse to back out without hurting any feelings. can't wait to see who picks him up, we need to see this guy in more tournaments, he had more ro less plateaued on root. despite some criticism here, wishing these people all the best, hoping to see good stuff from them as the scene matures. | ||

They've built a lot of great players, so I disagree. | ||

Great respect for all the time and effort you put into creating and evolving the team. Sad it eventually didn't work out the way you wanted it to. Good luck in the future to all the former ROOT, hope none of you change a bit. ROOT fighting! (one last time) | ||

Erm no, IdrA has called Kiwi bad plenty of times. It could be all part of the hype train though. He's admitted himself he says some things now just to cause a stir. | ||
