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.

I'd hardly call Drewbie a bench player.


I'd hardly call Drewbie or Minigun or even DDoRo really, a bench player. Basically, everyone Col acquired is comparable to, if not better than, someone on their current roster.

Liquid could use some new NA talent

I think FXO will probably take a stab though.
the farm ends here

Does anyone else find it odd that compLexity would completely get rid of their tf2 team then just come back around and buy ROOT gaming? It feels like sc2 is having too much of an effect on other eSports and compLexity just saw where the money was.

That's not odd at all.

And you basically answered your own question. TF2 is dead, SC2 is thriving.

I believe Kiwi once said (or implied) that SC2 isn't that much about money for him because he gets enough from poker, and with money not being a factor I really can't see anything he would have in common with EG other than being on the same continent.

FXO could really use him for their Korean campaign, and I imagine he would be happy to get back with qxc and Sheth again.

Even though IdrA's comments about Kiwi I believe we will see him in EG



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.


True. I think Dignitas only lacks a solid dependable Zerg roster.

Wow... this is kind of sad news, but if EG picks up both Slush and Kiwi, they will be my new favorite team for sure.

I also would love it if they both went to FXO. Hopefully they can both be on the same team too.

idk why people only focusing on kiwi slush.... the palyers we picked up are hella good as well, im pumped with it


You really don't know why? Of course the players picked up are good players but when the best players on the team aren't involved of course people are going to focus on it. Plus what do you think happens to you and the rest of the older members? Especially those who haven't shown results since being signed? Is complexity going to keep a roster of 15-20 players? Lets be honest Ryan, theres a lot to talk about having to do with this.

so much speculation

for the record, minigun is definitely on par with slush and maybe even kiwi

it's a shame he doesn't go to live events

FnaticKiwi
FnaticSlush
dKiwikaki
dSlush
sixjaxKiwi
sixjaxSlush

those are the only teams at this point that have the potential to grab Kiwi and Slush since the rest of the teams aren't quite up to par.

wow, giving up kiwi and slush just to join compLexity? I wouldn't have done it. Those two were arguably the best on the team. That said, I'm curious if kiwi and slush are sticking together, or will they split up? EG could definitely use a tip top protoss like kiwi.

also, why was this even necessary? i thought root had sponsors now

Quoted for emphasis.

Minigun is actually amazing.

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.

Except destiny, minigun and catz bring way more fans and attention...

Having one player in NA isnt good for Liquid. (Huk stays for the time being in Korea)
