I would be surprised if this would have any effect on the Root house: whatever Kiwi's reasons are to not move with them I doubt it's bad enough to kick him out of the house for. :p

As to where Slush and Kiwi go team wise I don't know but they would be a good pickup for any team out there. I wouldn't be surprised if we would see them going to Liquid (Could use an extra player now that TLO is out for a while), EG/Fnatic or FXO (Those all have the money to pick up somebody I think).

I'm also looking forward to the next EG-Complexity clan war as Complexity now has CrunCher, Drewbie and Minigun; hi IdrA. :D


Kiwikaki isn't in the ROOT House...

It's Drewbie, Catz, TT1 and Fenix.

Just thought I'd point this out before more people talk about the "tension in the house" and shit like that.

Wait WHAT? CatZ and Destiny are going to be part of the same team as... Cruncher? Now talk about people going to love and hate a team at the same time.

And I want to know what will happen with Kiwikaki and Slush - they were supposidely the best root players after qxc left, right? I mean, considering their results(MLGs)...



qxc aint that good anymore as he was at the start.. he left for the money.. now ROOT has some money..
the teamroster is great..
just their individual perfomances aren't the best anymore without kiwi and slush

Well Complexity has been making not the greatest choices for a while now in SC2. Starting with the Silver fiasco and then picking up Cruncher, one of the most disliked players on the scene. It's really unfortunate that the 2 best players in ROOT were not part of the deal.

GL though

Well, KawiKiki and Slush were the two biggest names on ROOT's roster, so I'm not sure if that deal was a success for Complexity.


what he said

slush did great in Columbus, and Kiwikaki is perhaps best toss on NA server. really big names up for grabs out there, i hope they all dont end up in FXO

Woah woah woah, what does this mean for ROOT in the EG masters cup? I can't believe this wasn't asked in the last 8 pages.

idk why people only focusing on kiwi slush.... the palyers we picked up are hella good as well, im pumped with it

Dont want to be mean but they arent, at least not for the moment.Kiwi is awesome and Slush looks like has improved after seeing him at this last MLG.


Each individual picked up is still as good as or better than the players in Complexity's current roster, but it's still a bit of a weird situation.

ROOT isn't ROOT anymore, ROOT isn't Complexity, Complexity isn't Complexity, Complexity isn't ROOT.

Interested in seeing where Slush and Kiwi go, I'll have to reserve deciding my new favorite team until then.

Also, really wondering what effect this has on the EG Master's Cup, if that could be touched upon. Will ROOT be finishing the series as ROOT's last endeavor as a team? Will they be playing it as Complexity now because ROOT no longer exists or what?

Good for ROOT I guess? Meh as mentioned previously col just has some questionable decisions but their fanbase is sure to grow after getting some very popular names. Granted Kiwikaki didn't come but I won't be surprised to see him moving to some large name team.
D: I loved root though as a team, they were so cool with their little gremlin logo and brown colored shirt.

Liquid Kiwikaki would be cool, Liquid needs a strong Protoss based outside of Korean, Tyler has yet to perform.
