For the buzz, Destiny is certainly a good pick-up as he is very well known in the community. However, he isn't the best of players and likely will never be, so it is a bit of a toss up.

Feels like Quantic is going more for the famous route than the results route, which there is nothing wrong with. I expected it to be the other way around after they picked up Sase though (who is known for being very serious and extremely dedicated). I thought they would pick an up and coming and extremely dedicated player, such as Naugrim (who plays 10 hours per day and is starting to tear up the EU ladder atm). Note to other teams reading this: pick him up before someone else does.

However, compared to before they picked Destiny up they are certainly not weaker, so congrats to them.

nice to see him move out of "making money with playing OK and talking funny stuff" and to get serious about this.

I used to hate his guts in beta, but he has become an interesting personality. [and it seems he dropped the stupid "II" after his name.]

The "II" stands for "The Second" and it's there usually to denote that he isn't his father... And I really don't think he's playing just "OK," during the Red Bull LAN some of the stuff that they had him practicing looked pretty good and just needed work and polish.

Gratz to destiny. He will certainly have to take practice more seriously now with the likes of Sase around. A lot less random laddering vs scrubs and more intense practice against real progamers.

I expect they won't want him streaming a lot of his real practice games as well. I wouldn't want sase's and others tourny strats being streamed to thousands of people.
