to be honest it sounds like Destiny doesnt need a team right now, hes built himself up as a community figure/commentator to the point where he can make enough money to support himself without help (if his stream figures he posted were even half accurate, he is well off)

So if I was him, and if Complexity was asking for things such as promotion during his stream and the like, or anything hindering doing what "he does".. then this sounds like a reasonable move for him, even as much shit as it is to break a contract.

how about destiny can keep the clan tag root and make new clan when he has more time?

I am sure that col issue is not only major concern for steven atm. He is a father now and that means more responsibilities then he seems to be in his stream.
Imo Everybody needs to steam stress out once for while and if you consider that he is playing sc2 like office work, it is not only about fun and stuff, but it also can cause stress and exhausting.
It is surely unfortuate for both side that there was a misunderstanding from both side as i assume. I hope both sides learned lesson from it and make it better in future!

About steven, I am sure that he is a mature man who welcomes fair conversation and want only best for all so i will continue to enjoy his stream.

note: I DONT know any details to judge what happend between incontrol and all incidents mentioned in this thread, this is only my opinion who have been watching his stream for long time before he got into root.

He has to keep the clantag if he doesn't want to make his way to grandmaster a second time.

He used his free name change to change from Destiny to ROOTDestiny.

So he has to wait for blizzard to allow purchased name changes

It's a shame that Destiny won't be playing with his team mates from ROOT anymore...

Used to love the back and forth between CatZ and Destiny, was hilarious.

Best of luck to him for the future though, he's sure to find a new home soon!

Destiny Hwaiting!!!

What a shame, I find Destiny to be quite entertaining. Hopefully things work out for you in the long run.

It's coL's loss really. He might not have tournament results but he's far and away a larger part of the community than anyone else on their team.

And honestly no tournament results doesn't mean he isn't a tournament quality player. SC2 is a ridiculously hard game to achieve consistent results in. It's completely understandable that a large portion of players on professional teams would often fail to get far in tournies simply due to luck. Destiny's certainly capable of taking games off of anyone out there.

He's also generated so much more publicity from this entire incident now that I wouldn't be surprised if he walks off the better. He still has the resources to continue practicing with top tier players and he'll undoubtedly get picked up by another team eventually that would love to have a player as popular as him. Even better, another team isn't going to make the same mistake of expecting him to suddenly turn his stream around and begin censoring himself right after joining.

Well I wish destiny the best in the future. He has been improving so much lately I have very little doubt we'll be seeing him out in some strong performances in some major tournaments in the future.

Sounds like both sides fixed what they needed to so after reading all 25 pages of mainly drama it's nice to step back out into reality to just realize it was a bad move, he apologizes for making a bad move and its done. Good luck to Complexity and Destiny, they both add a ton of excitement to the community in there own way which is great for us fans of SC. I gotta admit though the drama is what gets people to dig all the way into threads so it doesn't surprise me it turned out that way. I mean I will admit I watch General Hospital everyday not because I care about each character but only for all the dramatic stuff going on.

God, so much drama. Did you guys even read Destiny´s response?

To me it seems they couldn´t reach a compromise and parted ways amicably, LOL TL sure loves the drama.

Best of lucky to you Destiny. I am glad you did what you felt what was right for your teammates at the time before worrying about yourself. It seems like this is working out ok for both parties.

Destiny I still hope you join a team at some point......I would really love to watch you in tournaments more often.

After everyone was discussing it in the stream chat, he just said hes fine on his own basically so.

I dont know how much longer destiny expects to be able to make a living off of streaming. If I were him I would have signed. Times will change eventually, and I've be concerned about job security.

Sorry, I don't want to start any drama or anything, so here's my quip of the story

TL:DR : I signed the contract, I broke the contact, that's a pretty douche move.

Basically there'd been talks of ROOT/Complexity merging for a while, to relieve stress from catz/drewbie, which is cool, it gives them more time to play, etc...

One day, I got a message pretty much saying "hey, that contract is due tonight, you gotta sign it today". I pretty much had half a day to decide whether or not to sign, and it seemed like if I didn't sign, the deal would fall through for the rest of the team. I didn't want to mess up everyone's opportunities to move on with their career just because I felt uncomfortable, and there was nothing -too- objectionable in the contract, so I signed it.

In the following days, I had more time to think about it, and the more I turned it over in my head, the more problems I found with the arrangement, and the more reasons I found not to be associated with a major business SC2 team, at least not at this moment in time. I talked a long time to Catz, and had a few words with Jason, and eventually settled on the conclusion that I wouldn't actually be joining.

A completely respectable response right there others in the public eye or not should take notice. Putting the team before yourself and not simply signing a legally binding contract for the sake of it. I waited until Destiny made a response to say anything because I knew people would jump all over this like a fat kid on a Smartie/Cake (take your pick) with his "manners" on his stream.

Best of luck to you in whatever you pursue moving forward Destiny .

I don't think either side would be affected in any bad way from this. Destiny seems to be happy where he is at, having a constant 5k+ viewers in one of the most consistent streams. And Col is looking to "achieve" something competitively, and lets face it, Destiny is not at that level (not because he is not good, but because he seems to not care enough for it to go that extra mile).

I find a little ironic thou that CoL management is "complaining" about behavior on Destiny's stream, while they have had pretty shady behaviors in the past by other members on their team. Like for example cheating while on the stream and trash-talking agaisnt other far succesful Pro-players at a personal level.

I read this on the complexity site, loads of people raging and cursing out complexity. Destiny signed a contract, he knew what was in it; and if he didn't more fool him for signing it! Not honouring the terms of a contract is just the same as showing up to work and then sitting there all day doing nothing. You'll get fired!
I'm not too bothered about this whole thing but I don't understand the rage directed towards complexity for doing right by themselves with a player who want honour their contract.

on a slightly off topic note i really think complexity needs to land a sc2 ace player.
