Great news for the Root guys and complexity for the pickup, hopefully with more backing the root guys can concentrate better on their gaming careers, im sure Kiwi and slush got other offers, Dignitas.Kiwikaki maybe? (saw a lot of picture of kiwikaki hanging out with the Dignitas guys at MLG)


I wouldn't mind seeing Kiwikaki or Slush on Dignitas, they were my second favorite team after ROOT and I could see them benefiting from another good Protoss and Zerg.

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.


Idra has said in the past that he respects Kiwi.

I see Slush going to Liquid, since he's gonna get a Code A slot he can join the house out there

How come no one is talking about Fayth?


I always thought that Fayth wasn't a full-time player and only a honorary member of ROOT, kind of like Bubba is/was.

Pretty good lineup.


That's a very large team too, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the players go dropped.

He has already stated that he has no plans on accepting the invite and going to Korea.

Gratz to ROOT gaming i guess for getting with a team, but it is sad that ROOT has pretty much disbanded T_T. Hope that something good can come out of this. Not the greatest start to my day.

Kiwi spoke in an interview awhile back stating that they were trying to make ROOT it's own team and that they didn't want to be purchased as many were trying to do to them.

Perhaps that's still his stance and he just didn't want to be a part of it, who knows.

For some reasons I feel the frenchies were left out... might just be a coincidence, I hope. But one thing for sure KiWi has his own rep made up he doesnt need a team tag to be able to hunt for something. As for SLuSh, he's not as good as KiWi I think but has very good potential. i'd love to see these guys moving to a wealthy team and fly to korea to show some foreigner skills. For some reason I have a feeling Complexity is NOT interested by the Korean market. If they really wanted Domination over the Sc2 scene they would have actually tried, after all Stalife is Korean. fly him over and a few players, and coL is represented in Korea... coL has the money for it... but yet they aint making a move... i'm confused

I guess that means he'd be more interested in US-focussed teams, such as EG.

its really sad to see this. And its funny that roots best players kiwi and slush chose to not go with them. I wonder who they will sign with, I am sure a lot of teams are drooling over these two great players. You can understand that catz and drewbie would make the decision to do this because running a team is a lot of work. I guess complexity will be carried by root lol.

I feel like this is a step in the wrong direction for coL as far as trying to polish up their talent goes. Luckily they gain quite some popularity which is probably important for sponsors and site views. I just think it would've been nice to see coL pick up a "kiwikaki".

Well, it's somewhere halfway between the usual "western setup" with 5-8 players and the Korean setup with 15-20 players.
