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.
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.
Time to become a tQ fan?

i was thinking that EG or dignitas might want kiwi and slush ... but those are just guesses
|
So many people ranting and whining and calling them sellouts, when infact everyone in Root and everyone playing SC2 at a professional level wants to get into a bigger team and get paid to play.
Stop being so hysterical.
Also, Kiwi is good enough to join any non korean team he wants in my opinion, Eg should grab him while they can.

OT: anybody who has some kind of education knows, that Canada != US and that they just share one continent.So please don't generalize this. 
BTT: I'm really curious about Kiwi's way...Hope he will find a great team...maybe TL?

i really think team liquid needs to get slush and kiwi they need some creative people especially since tlo is going to be out for a while and since huk has gone to korea they have been lacking a very strong and creative protoss player. Fxo would be awsome cause i love sheth on fxo and it would be another good reason to watch them and root for them plus having qxc would be a pretty top team to go for. I wouldnt want them to go to eg cause eg is the team to love to hate. but in all fairness eg could use some positive support which those two could bring plus they could really use a good protoss player and a really good zerg player that doesnt gg on winning game lol

Canada is located in north america not america. when some one says america its a general idea that they are talking about the usa. Not north america. hence why they call themselves americans not united statesians

Ppl who lives in USA are refered as "Americans" while ppl living in Canada are refered as "Canadians" While we could argue for hours... since Canada is in North America... the facts are still the same
USA --> Americans Canada --> Canadians
Mexican? American? no... Mexican... Brazilien American? no... Brazilien....
So only ppl living in USA are refered as "Americans"
thats it

No normal Europeans refer to the USA and Canada as America. If we say America we mean just the United States and if we wanted to refer to both we'd most likely say the US and Canada, America and Canada or North America.

If you want to refer to the two continents combined the correct term is "the Americas." America refers to the USA, this is how the English language has evolved, deal with it.

If you want to refer to the two continents combined the correct term is "the Americas."

in Polish we also say America(singular) for both North and South America but it has nothing to do with english

if you want to talk about the continent it is The AmericaS.

I'd rather say learn to be realistic, if somebody says a team should get an Italian as a foothold in europe, that's a nonsensical statement, but not because Italy differs from Germany and the UK.

Ah, I do love my pointless internet debates.
I personally think that Peru and the USA are pretty much the same country.
|
What is an America anyways?
|
I heard it's a rare species of Pokemon that can only be found in Route 51, and it's special ability is to be an arrogant, obnoxious fatty.
|
crazy, I loved ROOT as a team :o
|
you should all drop the america / US debate. it's not at all related to the OP
|
It's still something very important to discuss though.
