I find something really odd here if u guys ask me.
What if roni doesn't like the green color ::)We'll give him a rainbow.
My thoughts on CCs promotion are the same as Ronis.

Not unexpected but not a very wise choice. It feels like a forced promotion to me especially knowing RoNi's general attitude.
Don't get me wrong, he can be a very nice guy but he's not the type to sugarcoat his opinions, he posts what is on his mind at a time without thinking it too much through. It causes several issues and often he can't back off from his opinion after because it's simply too late.
Besides that, he's the type that when angry can really overreact things very badly and that even publicly, he's not the type of person you really want to talk to when he's mad and you can't expect his next course of action when he is. You have to wait for him to calm down but it's very hard to deal with him at the time and so he can cause things that will get people immensely pissed off.
That brings us to his leadership or management abilities, from what I've heard, Surf GG was left in a poor state and he basically told that it was up to Pim to fix it (from hearsay, if RoNi denies that, then I guess it's a he/she says kinda thing), I mean can you really respect and follow someone that leaves stuff up to you on a whim and may refuse to help you out, will you listen to someone that tends to overreact small stuff and acts in general very control hungry?
I haven't seen him really excel in solving issues either or well I've seen him create more issues than solve to be completely honest due to the aforementionned reasons. His english also may be a cause as he doesn't express himself well at times or it just doesn't come across as he intended due to the language barrier.
Additionally, I don't see the level headedness in RoNi that I see in other people. I see a hot headed person that gets mad too often and acts too much based on his feelings. I feel that when things don't go his way, he often rages and act in a way that is barely staff material, let alone CL material.
Yeah he works hard from time to time, yeah he's been here for years. But being an oldie and working hard does not mean you deserve or are ready for a promotion. Promoting someone to let him show he's capable isn't a very viable strategy either. People have to be capable before you promote them to eliminate any risk of issues coming up.
I understand your concerns maki regarding your opinion on Roni and I too was doubtful at first. However, I spoke to Roni a couple of days ago about some issues he was dealing with and I felt that he handled the situation ok. He accepted my comments and took onboard the the advice I gave him.
Some people are already made for leadership roles through experience gained in work and real life experiences but others need tutoring and I believe Roni is the latter. However, in saying this we all have to start somewhere and this opportunity should provide Roni with more challenges than ever and he will have to grow with it.
I do agree with certain points you made here and week back I had a conversation with Roni and when he asked me for a honest opinion / critique I said things of similarity. I do think it's a tad unfair though, to write him off immediately without giving him in a chance. Bear in mind, there is a trial period if things go wrong and secondly, some people indeed change with their responsibilities, myself included. I am a rude, immature asshole if you meet me on league (or any other non-ambrosia related thing), I just learned where to keep my act together. I do think Roni needs to work out on his public appearance and the way he tends to overreact (I even said that to him in our private conversation) - this however does not mean Roni cannot change for the better and personally I believe if Roni does try hard enough he can become a representative figure. He may have a long way to go, this however does not mean he can't possibly get there.
Gongratz to both..
Off-Topic...What is the role of Tai in this community as UC. He has no access example csgo servers and I think he was promoted for csgo part. Why would you promote guys without any kind of access developing community. Just asking?

With all do respect
CC is a unique figure and cannot be compared to roni :D
Roni least didn't lie about his registration date unlike ...
Butthurt comes a long way.
But how did I survive 5 years, and you had in your first day 10 reports?
Consider that what I did on forums before had little to none impact to any individual, you on the other hand had great verbal communication with the members, so tell me a warning is treated the same as a report with actual evidence?But how did I survive 5 years, and you had in your first day 10 reports?
Your warning history is a bible.
