This is probably the most likely scenario for kiwikaki, I think FXO even hinted about some big announcement that would join their squad for the GSTL in korea? Would make perfect sense.

EG.KiWI would be pretty badass. KiWi said he wouldn't want to be in Korea for a very long time, which the new GSTL is.

Kind of surprised at this and curious to the reasoning behind it. I guess that Root had a lot of dificulties to get sponsorship and that under the Complexity banner they are safe on the money front.

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.


But he "was" in the Root house right?


He was there to prepare for last MLG, he hasn't been living there for a little while now.

There is going to be a fairly large bidding war over Kiwi. If he has any interest in playing in Korea, then he might choose Liquid since they are overall the best team when combined in conjunction with oGs. But if he is interested in money and playing abroad, then I think it will be down to Dignitas, Mouz, Fnatic, EG, and FXO.
FXO probably has the most cash but the worst overall team, so they could really use him.

This is odd to me because it seemed that Kiwi and Slush were the most invested in success on the Root team and then they don't follow them to a more prosperous team.

I wonder if the deal was not good enough for them?

This is feels like more of a bummer than good thing

Asking again, what does this mean for the ROOT team in the EG's Master Cup.

Nice for complexity, hope kiwikaki and slush find new teams quickly (maybe they should start a new Canadian team :p)

Bleh, I don't want to see either Slush or Kiwi on EG, I think they'd be much cooler on Dignitas, Liquid or even Fnatic.

I really don't think kiwi cares about the money, why else would he stay with root for the longest time when they had no money at all, and its not like he wasn't getting other offers.

too bad ROOT doesn't excist anymore
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

He doesn't want the Code A spot.

Hmm, this is so sad. Catz always talked about how he didn't want Root to be swallowed up by a bigger team, I guess it just got really dificult.
Congrats to complexity, but eh, without getting slush or especially Kiwi it seems like this acquirement won't do much good for them. I expect more col finishes in the mid level of tournaments, but no more col tournament wins or high finishes than normal. Best of luck to Catz, Drewbie, etc.
Anyways, I think Kiwi will probably go to Diginitas. Fnatic has way too many protoss, and EG is full apparentely. I could see Slush going to Fnatic, especially with Sen's contract coming up.

Kiwi and Slush were the best ROOT players lol

Interesting... I thought Kiwi was one of ROOTs best players. Sad to see the team part ways. All the best to the players. I wonder where Kiwi and Slush end up?!?

Yes, I'm hoping to God he starts his own team with Slush and Fayth!

You're probably right, but I can't see him being teamless when there is a team out there that would offer to pay for all of his travelling and what not. And I do think everyone has a price; maybe his willingness to negotiate just opened up now that Root gaming is no more.

Well, that's kinda sad to hear. ROOT was my favorite team for many reasons. I wish Kiwi and Slush tried to get ROOT back up. D:
