Kiwi is a top 3 foreigner toss and the other players really don't compare to him so it doesn't surprise me he left.
Apologize.

This is such bittersweet news. I hope they make the best of it... and KiWiKaKi, you're so good you can join any team you want.

Go Liquid, EG or FXO! (Listed in order of preference)

Well, looks like there's a few more people I will refer to as colonel. But, I do have to admit, Colonel CatZ has a nice ring to it.

Wow, I'm very sad today. My dreams of being part of ROOT have pretty much been crushed.

I've been a HUGE fan of ROOT since the Beta, and when I played a custom game with them, they stole my heart.

The ROOT players may still be here, but it's just not the same. Seeing coLCatZ breaks my heart.

Go esports!! ... Good luck in the future coL...

Buy a team and lose the best players. Weird.

Best of luck to Complexity and everything but I'm far more interested in where Kiwi and Slush end up because I don't see the Complexity team doing all that much in the long run.

Very very weak acquisition.

None of the players they acquired are looking to show the form to challenge form top honors anytime soon. Kiwi and Slush were defintely the prize pidgeons of Root. Interesting. Best wishes to complexity and hope they didn't throw out too much cash.


Drewbie, Ddoro and Mini are probably better than anyone currently listed in coL

They don't. But they only have European players yet.

omg, where will my fav player Kiwikaki end up?/????? Im so excited, my choices for Kiwikaki.

1. Dignitas( This would be a great move because A. He gets to practice with two of the best terrans in Europe and B. Dignitas will then take the title from Liquid as the best protoss roster outside Korea)
2. Mouz (Always been a top team and a team that knows when they should add a good player)
3. Liquid?!?!?!?!? (One of the strongest protoss rosters getting more stacked?)
4. Duckload(just a fanboys dream to have his two fav players on the same team )
5. FXO (they could def strengthen their roster and Kiwikaki deserves to be on a team that will throw unlimited money at him lol)


team liquid best protoss roster

Haha, I love how the majority of the replies in this thread are about Kiwikaki and where he might go to next.

Personally, the guy doesn't seem to care about money, so I think he will just tough it out alone (or with Slush), I doubt anyone would not want to practice with him.

GL to coL, really the only team left that is comprised of only NA players.


well reason he doesn't care about money is the fact that he played poker so got a lot of money from that .

I knew it was only a matter of time I didn't think catz would have not eventually joined an organization and hope root continues to do well or complexity now.

So this puts complexity's players at like 14 now?

saying he "doesnt care about money" is kind of an overstatement, he does care, just not as much as most people, so he could afford to stay in root

What I meant was that money doesn't seem to be a motivating factor for him when joining a team, at least form his interviews hes made that clear :X The guy must have gotten offers from every good team by now and it isn't like he will have any trouble at all joining one but he doesn't seem like the kind of guy that would.

Maybe it is just me, but whenever I try say his name with a different Clan tag, it just doesn't sound right. Like EG.Kiwikaki, Liquid.Kiwikaki, Dignitas.Kiwikaki, not that it doesn't roll off the tongue, it just sounds so...strange.

Complexity didnt get much... Kiwi and Slush were the two best players on that roster, none of the others have real exceptional tourney wins or anything...

Kiwikaki to FXO I'm guessing. They were hyping up a new recruit recently.
I'd say Slush to Dignitas, just as a hunch.

Then again when has the coL SC2 roster been particularly exciting... Stalife and Cruncher the only remotely notable players, the rest just ladder heroes? Yeah I bet they wish they could've gotten slush and kiwi but considering the situation its not a terrible deal for them.
