Destiny is much more popular and influential in the Starcraft 2 community than coL. Their loss.

Good.
This probably won't impact Destiny in any major way. Besides brewing up more interest in him and his stream. He might actually be walking away from this more popular than he was before.

His income is based off of his streaming, which he has accomplished from day one without high profile tournament results or the help of a famous team/sponsors behind him.

Steven cannot and will not be part of a team that asks him to be politically correct. If this topic came up in any discussions and no agreement was made, this release was expected from both parties

Colonels has just gained an anti-fan.

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.
To achieve perfection is to sacrifice growth.

Sounds like they just wanted an excuse to get rid of him because he's not a top player.

I can assure you that I have personally spoken with Steven over the past week. I sincerely wanted him to remain on the team but we were given no real option. He refused to participate with the team. Also, it was our full intention on allowing him to speak his mind on his stream but within certain boundaries of professionalism.

I spoke with him personally before this was released and he knew it was coming.

I think he's a good guy but it just didn't work out at this time. I wish him the very best in the future.


We'll parts of this are clearly false. We obviously don't have perfect information but I watched destiny practice with a variety of col members on his stream throughout the last week.

"certain boundaries of professionalism." could mean anything. This pickup was in the midst of destiny very publicly announcing his beliefs on language, and if the contract was written without that in mind it was not intended to succeed in the first place.

Before you call someone a liar, take a step back. Occasionally practicing with teammates doesn't necessarily constitute participating with the team. You don't know what they asked him to do that he refused.

Are you kidding me...TL.net encompasses Destiny's portion of the pie...no point in contracting with him, especially because they're bigger than coL and therefore will be even more stricter about sponsors and such...plus Destiny is not that good of a pro player.

I think a lot of people here are being unkind towards Destiny. Sure he has his attitude but if you listen to him speak he's quite well spoken and views his stream as his own personal domain. It seems that he is a reasonable and intelligent person otherwise. Plus, he's gotten way better recently. I mean, he's GM now and is doing well!

IIRC Destiny played decently at the last MLG? I dunno, he's definitely skilled enough to be on a decent team but his stream behavior probably destroys any of those chances :T

So complexity goes from a mediocre NA team with some entertaining personalities to now just a mediocre team.

I wish Complexity would give a real explanation for why it didn't allow Destiny on the team. Just two nights ago on Destiny's stream (I believe Catz was streaming at the same time) I heard Cruncher call Catz a nigger faggot mexican beaner, as a joke. How can you kick out Destiny for not watering down his speech if you don't care about that? It doesn't sound like you're making your players into professionals, more like you're just hiding them from the public eye.


Did you even read the OP or any of the responses by col in this thread? It is more than just his language on his stream. He literally didn't do things that were in his contract. He blatantly ignored the terms of agreement he agreed upon when he joined the team. He broke his contract = bye bye.

I wish Destiny and Complexity the best of luck. Though,I feel Complexity should have acted more professionally with this. They just released this post to the world, and Destiny wasn't even aware of it until his chat told him during the stream. Can't wait to see what team might pick him up.

Destiny never seemed to be a person who would censor himself for the sake of professionalism.

Destiny kicked off a pretty mannered time!
Nothing but more exposure and "badass" nature association to him.

These teams need to just put out the message that the views and opinions of their PLAYERS do not exactly reflect the views and opinions of the TEAM. This is an incredibly basic and necessary concept for any large organization. Or you can run around trying to slap EVERYONE on the wrist EVERY TIME they say something which you disagree with. GL ----- HF. Nuff said. Keep being yourself Destiny, I personally would never want you to act any other way, although it does suck that he probably just lost most of his income x (
