I am not denying the fact that not picking up Slush and Kiwi is a big deal but one thing you have to understand is that ROOT has alot of upcoming and unharnessed players. Destiny, although at this point is WAY overrated, could potentially be a top player once he matures more and keeps playing high level players which CoL has. CatZ and Drewbie are two players that have very unique styles but lack mechanics, which can always be improved with hard work. And Minigun has come SO far since ROOT first signed him. They also had ROOT Kitty/Princess who looked to be a Terran prodigy, its a shame they lost him because he too had so much potential. Its a risk but i think CoL will pay off by at least one of the upcoming players.


ROOT Kitty/Princess is now on sixjax as sixjax.MajOr.

For why Kiwikaki and Slush didn't join the team probably isn't because they didn't want to. It's probably because they couldn't. I'm sure that they couldn't join the team because they live in Canada and Complexity is an American organization. They more than likely would have to sponsor Slush and Kiwikaki with a visa I believe. There could also be contract implications based on that. That's why I believe that Complexity didn't pick them up.

I'm sure complexity wants to stay as an American team and doesn't have the resources or doesn't want to have a contract with non US residents, and Kiwi/Slush don't want to move to America.


You're so wrong...

Complexity already has 4/7 canadian players on their roster (stalife, antimage, firezerg, ryze).

I'm so sad this happened, ROOT was actually my fav team, they had this kind of Indie feeling to them, but I guess looking for sponsors constantly and stuff can be very tiring. I'm going to bet CatZ improves a lot after only focusing on practice.

And like everyone said, Kiwi and slush were the best on root no doubt, I wonder where they'll go..

Fxo seems to be a good option, would love to see Kiwi at GSL.

Ooh patiently waiting the announcement to see where Kiwi and Slush end up

Great news for Root, this may be able to give them a lot more exposure, only time will tell. I wander why Kiwi and Slush didn't go across, they are definitely big names in the Root camp.

Good luck to coL

It's actually so sad that ROOT has to come to an end, but I am glad atleast the majority of the team will still be together. I hope that Kiwi and Slush have good luck finding another clan, and i'm sure they would join a clan together. FXO Perhaps? All the best to Complexity though!

Kiwi and Slush were top 2 ROOT easily. Slush will prolly join a Euro clan, Kiwi will look to FXO or Fnatic, imo.

This sucks though, I hate coL but love ROOT. ):

I approve of this merger
Listening to Destiny's stream is hilarious right now, the team seems to be meshing quite nicely, racial jokes and all

Best wishes to ROOT and Complexity.

I can't help but feel that Complexity got a bad public image after the TSL3, centering around the Cruncher vs IdrA match. Cruncher is a part of Complexity, and they are responsible for safeguarding all their players. Hopefully with the infusion of ROOT members, they will be able to reset their public image the SC2 community.


Why comment on something when it's totally obvious that you have NO idea what happened. It's embarrassing and makes you look like an idiot. It's either that or frothing fanboyism.

IdrA was the instigator of the whole Cruncher/IdrA affair. That's fact. So please shush and not make this yet another boring thread discussing IdrA and/or his trash talking habits

Yeah, if anything Cruncher got a bit of a bad image for the whole stream sniping thing, I wouldn't think TSL3 had much to do with it.
