I'd say it's quite safe to assume that kiwi and slush denied the offer rather than not getting one, Kiwi can probably find a better team, don't know about Slush but he looked quite strong at MLG Columbus!

Best of luck to Col and it's members!

So the 2 best players on Root didn't make the move? o-o

Can't see either player being without a home for long, Slush proved at Columbus he's definitely relevant and lots of teams are still in the market for top quality zergs, and Kiwi's been the best NA protoss forever.

Team KiwiSlushie?

Seriously though, didn't Root used to have Kiwi, Slush, Sheth and QXC? Sigh ... such a sick, sick roster.

Anyway, I hope a team like EG or Team Liquid pick up Kiwi and Slush, they're both upper tier NA players.

that would make for a decent team.


I don't think that's really a possibility, I'd be super surprised if that happens. I feel like Kiwi and Slush will probably be a packaged deal, and I don't think Artosis would pick up Slush if he still has some bitterness from ages ago. I dunno, I just wouldn't peg this as likely.

lol bitterness from ages ago

IdrA actually has a lot of respect for Kiwi as a player, I believe.

Dignitas should try to get Kiwi and Slush. That would give them probably the tightest foreigner roster out there.

So have the recruitment offers been pouring in?

Hope to see you get picked up soon.

Josue...

I just want Slush and Kiwi on baller teams so I'm trying to think of reasons for them not to be on Sixjax. I'd root for them wherever they go though.

Nah. Idra also said there's not a respectable Protoss on NA server.

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?


Any reason to excuse under performance I'm guessing. lol.

Don't really know what to say to Complexity, they acquired ROOT but couldn't secure the two players who are BY FAR the best on the team. That's like the Washington Wizards acquiring the Miami Heat and not getting Lebron James and Dwade lol. You're left with a bunch of bench players.

Well whatever. I called it 2 months ago that Kiwi should leave ROOT and join a better team. I'm glad he decided to decline the Complexity offer, probably the best choice he'll make for his career. Any team would be better with him on it, be it Liquid, Dignitas, FXO or EG. I wouldn't be surprised to see him join EG. IdrA has mentioned before he respects Kiwi as a competitor.

Good luck to Kiwi and Slush! Couldn't be happier for you two.

I'd hardly call Drewbie a bench player.
