Root was pretty badass but i'm gonna guess this was in their best interest, or, at the very least, ROOT thought it was.

extremely curious what made root decide to leave their 'brand name' and merge with complexity. maybe they actually realised it was hard to get sponsorships and felt they had to make this move for the benefit of themselves.

Not sure if I like.

That's awesome to hear!

Complexity has had such an impact in other games, I think with ROOT's roster now sporting a Complexity tag, we're going to see their dominance in sc2!

Not to mention that one of their sponsors (Pokerstars) isn't even in the US market anymore.

I am going to miss Root as an institution, but at least the majority of them are sticking together with Complexity. Hopefully Kiwikaki and Slush get on a team they deserve.

if kiwi goes for the money it will be FXO.. if he goes for the best team he will be joining EG.. think both team would want him..

too bad ROOT doesn't excist anymore
was my favourite team by a mile.. ROOT in front of a name looks much better then COL.. fucking armyrank.. they should do something about that.

Looking for a new favourite team... Can't bring myself to cheer for Complexity...

Hopefully Kiwi and Slush will got to dignitas or an equally good team. Kiwi deserves it he had been essentially forgoing a huge paycheck to be on a team he was a real part of. I wanna see Kiwi get really rich.

I have mixed feelings about this right now... I loved ROOT as ROOT but I'm not sure how it will really work as a subset of Complexity, particularly without Slush and Kiwikaki...

Also, I'm not sure how this will play out for the EGMC. It just seems like a slightly strange situation. Will ROOT be a subdivision of complexity? Will they become ColROOT or remain ROOT or just straight up become Col? Also, without Kiwi and Slush, it's a really strange situation.

It would be a real shame to see my favorite team dissolved or changed into something else. Oh well, we'll have to see how it plays out. Hopefully ROOT remains the ROOT I was a fan of, with more of a partnership with Col than an acquisition.
