I wonder how this will play out for Kiwikaki and Slush, which were probably their two best players. They're really good, so I'm sure they'll find a new team without any problems. I always root (lol) for EG, so would be fun if they picked one or two up.

So the top 2 players didn't make the move. Would like to see FXO pick up Kiwi and have him play in Korea. I hope Slush gets a good team too - he deserves it.

Sad to see this. I loved the personality of ROOT as a team, and seems like they're going to lose at least part of that in the move into Complexity. Also very sad to see the split-up. Hope Kiwi and Slush go to good team(s) though.


Pretty much, ROOT was always awesome as a complete package, this whole thing just feels weird to me, since it essentially means my favorite team just disappeared overnight. Oh well, time to find a new team to... root for, might be Complexity, but I'll have to see how this plays out, will also depend on where Kiwikaki and Slush end up.

Well this is good for me, only two players that I liked in Root were Kiwi and Slush anyway. GL to them and complexity.

if kiwi goes for the money it will be FXO.. if he goes for the best team he will be joining EG.. think both team would want him..

too bad ROOT doesn't excist anymore
was my favourite team by a mile.. ROOT in front of a name looks much better then COL.. fucking armyrank.. they should do something about that.

I doubt KiWi or Slush would have any interesting in joining EG, given IdrA's remarks about them in the past.


I think I remember IdrA saying Kiwi was the only good player on ROOT or something along those lines.. I think he kinda excluded him from his ROOT bm.

Complexity and ROOT trolling Idra again? Drewbie, Minigun and Cruncher all in one team? Haha!

Still, quite a cool merger - better for Col than ROOT in my opinion, Col's line up was never that strong.

liquidKaki sounds good^^
Honestly not suprised that Kiwi didn't go/resign. Hes been one of the best players for a while now on a team that can't afford to give him a salary (at least i believe). Going to be very interested to see where he ends up.

complexity is quite a rich team(like EG) they have enough money to pay kiwi a nice salary.. but i think nobody likes the CoL team.(also why they picked up peoplesfavourite team ROOT).. i don't know..
Col.Catz vs. ROOT-Catz0
Col.Destiny vs. ROOT-Destiny
Col.Minigun vs. ROOT-Minigun

you get the idea.. Col. is such a stupid teamname

Kind of assumed this was an April fool's joke, 'cept that it's really really late. Or really early.

Sad to see ROOT bought out.

It's an outdated rumor. Your best bet is to forget you read it at all.

extremely curious what made root decide to leave their 'brand name' and merge with complexity. maybe they actually realised it was hard to get sponsorships and felt they had to make this move.


Not to mention that one of their sponsors (Pokerstars) isn't even in the US market anymore.

I am going to miss Root as an institution, but at least the majority of them are sticking together with Complexity. Hopefully Kiwikaki and Slush get on a team they deserve.


This this this for me. I've had a fondness for ROOT since I got into SC2 so it saddens me that they won't be around as ROOT anymore, but I'm sure everyone will be heading in a positive direction so I guess my sadness isn't really warranted

This news as great as it is for ROOT makes me kind of sad. It's like green bay (is green bay the team thats on the stock market and owned by fans? i dont know too much about football) being bought by some corporate guy. ROOT always represented the spirit of a group of friends making it on their own to me. Now I'm afraid that root will turn into one of those 'meh' teams noone really cares about.

Don't get me wrong this really is great for the ROOT.guys and I'm happy for all of you. ROOT is my second favourite team after liquid I just hope you don't lose your roots and identity because of this.

Best of Luck to coL.root or w/e it's gonna be!
also best of luck to kiwi and slush, i guess those two won't stay teamless for long.

IdrA would like to disagree LOL

i wonder how Minigun's APM will evolve over time. Maybe he'll be the first progamer >100APM after SjoW


Dunno bout that, he's too busy smacking the shit out of Idra in tournament and ladder matches
