Drewbie is terrible and so is Minigun. Don't be delusional.

clearly you don't have the intellect required to judge SC2 skills, so don't be delusional


Its a good thing IdrA still cant post at the moment. I'd love to his reaction to ROOTFayth calling someone else bad and saying they are stupid...

ok listen

idra is a good player, everybody aknowledge that

idra also makes irrational comments due to emotional outbursts after losing game, most often "X player is trash" and he doesn't REALLY believe that, he's just mad, and he's not the only player who does that, he just get the most exposure out of that and his skill level obviously

So yeah now it all makes sense, I guess this Sunder guy is a full fledged idra fan, that explains it

Sigh I'm happy for them, but at the same time I'm sad to see my favorite team disappear

kiwi to TL as replacement of TLO for this two months?
Would be great! :D
Even better if when TLO came back TL kept Kiwi! :D
Maybe even both kiwi and Slush?
I am just dreaming but that would be just awesome forTL <3

Only time will tell how this actually works out. I hope it works out well for everyone in the end but i'm septic :\

I will still follow all of the former ROOT players regardless of whom they play under.

As a ROOT fan I am very disappointed in this news. I feel this will only dilute the shining personalitys on ROOT as they're mixed into coL. I haven't been a fan of Complexity since CS:Source, and it really pains me that I have to see "coL.Destiny" when I watch streams from now on. While I'm sure this is good for the guys, it really sucks for their fans. Very bittersweet, and more bitter then the sweet to me. Horrible disappointed.


I'm really sorry you feel that way. :/ I know our CS:S days disappointed many people in our huge fan base at the time, but we've never stopped working hard to develop our dream in gaming and support the games in which we participate.

I sincerely hope over time you will once again support us but if you don't I understand and wish you the best.

He's not... He's calling other players underrated, which idra may or may not agree with. What idra has to say about Fayth is completely irrelevant to complexity's pick-up of these players. In fact, idra is completely irrelevant here.

In my opinion, this is a great addition of a solid mix of players. Some have quite a bit of tournament experience (Catz, Drewbie), other less ( Minigun, Destiny). Complexity has nowhere to go but up!!

Not sure about FXO as the manager said roster was full.
With the departure of Inka, i think it would be a great move by EG to acquire KiWiKaKi and i know Idra kinda respects KiWiKaKi's talent. So i am sure it would be a good fit. Slush could fit too but already stack on Zergs with Idra, Machine and StrifeCro.

People get famous from posting good results (generally). Which good results mean we should see Minigun and Drewbie as top pros? Besides, let's not pretend that Root wasn't interested in fame. If that's how people judge players, why is no one saying Destiny was the best on Root?

Obviously Drewbie and Minigun are good - they're pros - but the only consistently excellent player on Root was Kiwikaki. Drewbie had some good success about six months ago IIRC, but what has he done this year? Slush is getting credit because he posted a good result at MLG so naturally he'd be seen as the second best on Root - he's posted the second best results overall and proved himself recently.

If Drewbie and Minigun are two of the very best pros then they need to prove it. Until then, they will be rated lower than those who have managed to do so and that's exactly how it should be. People calling them bad are stupid, those saying Kiwi and Slush are better are reasonable.

Maybe slush could go to EG. Then pretty much all of the best foreigner zergs would be on one team.

(now before you hate, i same pretty much all of the best, not all of the best, calm down)
