North America: Landmass where USA and Canada are located. United States of America: ONE of the countries within North America. There's always people that insist that it's somehow a slight or insult to recognize that in contemporary English (at least American English and as far as I know the other varieties too) North America and South America refers to continents, the Americas are both of those, and America is the United States. Sure, you can try to refer to the Americas as America and not be technically wrong but that doesn't mean that most people aren't going to get confused by your meaning. Guess what, the World Series isn't actually a baseball tournament played by the world either, but I'm not going to start calling it the United States Series because it's presumptuous of us to refer to it by that name. -.- | ||

Also I understand the sponser issues and all the work of having your own team and playing but couldn't they hire some staff members? So no sponsor + hire some staff? Very interesting | ||

No offense intended, but you guys made a move that disappointed the aspirations of people who wanted to see a TEAM form, not an organization. Big business and Starcraft are too normal. It is an amazing thing to see big business separated from Starcraft, and having raw talent and friendship lead a team, instead of paychecks. As a businessman myself, I must say that this was a bad deal for compLexity. The financials of the deal is unknown to me, however, without Kiwikaki and Slush, what asset did compLexity really acquire? CatZ was a beta-king, Destiny cannot perform in major live events, Minigun has not either, DdoRo is phenomenal, but falls along with the categorization of CatZ, and drewbie is just not good enough to be in a major gaming corporation. All five of you are great players, and I personally liked a lot of you, but this deal lost the two biggest assets, and there cannot be any reason for how this was a justifiable deal, unless they bought the players for pennies on the dollar. I apologize if I sound critical and bad mannered, but there is no logic behind this move. It makes perfect sense for CatZ, since he claims he is too pressured, and has to manage more than he must play, but he should happily surrender ownership to drewbie instead, or another top-player, instead of killing the only gaming team that is not a major corporation. Best of luck to you guys and compLexity. | ||

I definitely will not view CatZ, drewbie, DdoRo, Destiny, or Minigun in the same light. They have joined a professional organization now, and are no longer the stand-out, unique players, which were a team, instead of an organization.

Best of luck to you guys and compLexity. Drewbie was taken too? I'm sure CatZ made the move so they didn't have to worry about logistics of their own team. They all haven't been performing very well lately except for Kiwi and Slush. They could use more practice. Why col took them? I don't know. Why does any team take anybody? This is great for the root guys. Grats to them. | ||
