It's sad to see ROOT go, but they would have dismantled without a sponsor soon enough. Gonna be awkward in the team house...unless KiWi joins Fnatic or somethign | ||

Gonna be awkward in the team house...unless KiWi joins Fnatic or somethign Kiwi only stayed with them for like 2 weeks before MLG dallas. He was never a permanent resident. | ||

I don't really see why you'd want someone like Catz or Minigun if you want to really win significant tournaments, but I guess this is a big step for Complexity. Buying a team then losing its two best players is not, however. gaming companies make their money from sponsorship's. being a popular player can be just as important as being good, and having a variety of players helps boost the brand. im no marketing expert but i wouldnt be surprised to find out that teams are ok having 1 'star' player to win tourneys and some personalities to spread the message to less hardcore fans | ||

Fame is based on tournament results and minigun doesn't have any afaik. For example, Slush wouldn't be getting any of the kudos in this thread before the last MLG. | ||

Obviously I do not know the whole story or position of what is going on, but I assume that an offer was givin to aquire all of ROOT and Kiwi and Slush decided to go seperate ways. I shouldn't have said that they got shafted, but in a way they were expecting to receive the full roster at the time, then two best players decided to go a different route. Then again, I do not know the whole story. | ||

Which would have been wrong as Slush has consistently placed very well in MLGs...no one ever seemed to notice though. | ||
