Catz & Drewbie part from compLexity

[Update:  Yes Root is Back!  Sweet!!  http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=337937] (Shoutout to 8mmspikes for the heads up)

http://esfiworld.com/news/catz-drewbie-leave-complexity-minigun-ryze-extend-contacts

I don't know what to say about this, it bums me out somewhat.

Full disclosure, I am a Mod for Drewbie & Minigun, and good friends with Catz's Mods.

I don't have any inside information, but I am hoping this means that Catz & Drewbie are planning to start another Team!!!

I am still a Root fanboy at heart!

I certainly wish all involved continued success, and I will certainly post updates as more information becomes available.
