Don't go to EG Kiwi. =(

I don't think he would fit in there at all. Liquid and Fnatic are much cooler teams for him.

Its a shame that they lost Kiwikaki and Slush, the the people they picked up are no slouches for the North American scene. Drewbie may have had a bad weekend in MLG Columbus, but he had a solid showing in MLG Dallas 2011, going 3 and 1 in group play. He has had consistent results in various small online tournaments. Minigun is young, but he has also enjoyed online success, sniping some big names in various tournaments and showmatches. CatZ has also enjoyed some success in the online tournament scene, winning the JTV invitational, where he took out Mana and ppgBubbles.

Destiny has enjoyed less success in game, but is a very public figure in the community. When it comes down to it, sponsors care about exposure of their products more then anything else. Destiny brings that to the table.

What do you mean when you say "Minigun is young"? I think Minigun is 20 years old?

Young to the scene , at least that's my impression of him. I know he didn't come from any other RTS'.

he means Minigun is a young player in terms of experience. Minigun has no previous RTS experience before sc2 unlike virtually every other pro.

Not trying to be a jerk but, were I coL management, I would have shut down the deal when I realized that KiWi and SLush would not come to terms. No doubt whatsoever that every member of ROOT is talented but, from a business standpoint, those two are the picks of the litter. They are going to give you tournament results.

In any event, I wish all parties the very best of luck! Very interested to see where KiWi/Slush land.

If everyone remembers back in beta the best players on Root were Kiwikaki, qxc, sheth, slush, cauthonluck, and drewbie.

Only one of these players will be going to complexity now lol

Also, isn't coL like 20 members strong if they're just adding ROOt on top of all the players they already had? Seems pretty ridiculous to me.

Sad to see this happen. I really liked root and I never liked Col, who I still feel is a B level team at best still. They still don't have a good ace.
