Tbh, I'm not really sure you can put them ahead of Complexity or Lazarus gaming without qxc. ROOT is pretty much all hype at this point given that 2 of their 3 best talents are in FXO (the third being Kiwikaki).

Congratulations to the new members. Just based on their profiles, I can't wait to see what Slog and iceiceice can do.

I... don't know what to say. I'm a huge qxc fan, but hardly the biggest FXO fan.
Hopefully they get Kiwi as well now. I could like Kiwi, Sheth & qxc team and ignore everything else. xD

Oh man if KiWi came over that would be total hacks. He is by far my favorite toss and it is always so awesome to see him play in team battles because you never know if he is just going to all-kill or let drewbie have some fun.

qxc is damn ugly not a big deal

Hey hey im not sure you realized we won 2 out of the 3 team leagues we played in this season featuring all the best teams in north america and some of the best teams in europe... aaaaand we didn't play qxc in any of the playoffs matches (not lack of skill or anything, just that he's in spain and we knew he'd be leaving soon) yes, this is the same reason we picked up 'Princess', because we knew we'd be 1 terran short soon .
Also im not sure who you're putting ahead of us, im assuming it'd be Fnatic and EG, and then Lazarus gaming and Complexity. Lets see... we won the last 2 clanwars vs EG without qxc (and yes they did use idra in both clanwars) , and went 1-1 vs Fnatic without qxc. Since the Beta, we have won a lot more vs EG than they have against us _i believe 6-2 is the right score_(not bashing or anything just stating the fact) its always nice close clanwars, but I wouldn't say they're better than us, based on, individual OR team results.
Against Fnatic we're either even or ahead by 1 clanwar, not 100% sure. and against every other team in NA we have won way more than they have against us, I am sure of this because I don't recall us losing any clanwars in north america aside from against EG and Fnatic, and once to ONE, who we also had to play and beat to win SGL this season.
so... yeah im sure complexity and lazarus gaming are great teams, so do NrG and ONE, but with or without qxc, no team in north america is more acomplished than us, that's just the truth.
And im sorry for those of you who don't consider ROOT a team, we're a team, we make $ even if its not from sponsors, and we are not for sale, that's all there is to it.
qxc told us in advance that he was gonna search for a new team because he didn't have the resources to wait and since he has to go to school he doesn't have the time that some of us have to earn $ + game, so things like a salary are much more convenient and nessesary for his gaming career.
qxc was one of ROOT's first recruits, me and drew invited him to join the two of us basically because we saw a lot of potential in him, over a few months he exploted and became a beast, and he's been a loyal friend and a good practice partner to us for a year or so, he told us in advance that he was gonna search for a new team and explained us why, so there's no hard feelings there. We prepared for this, and honestly at this point I don't think its a super heavy hit to our lineup, as it might've been if had we not seen it coming. Again, Best of luck to Kevin and FXO!

To be honest, Drewbie and qxc play almost an identical style. I don't see this as much of a loss. I still consider ROOT the number one team in NA(I don't know all the NA clans).

catz dropping off some knowledge bombs
anyways, sucks that this thread ended up talking a lot about ROOT when it's clearly a FXO thread!
gl to FXO in upcoming tourneys

iceiceice is a pretty huge name in the Dota community :O

Wow huge surprise seeing QXC go to FXO, but hope he does well with his new team, and same for the rest of the new recruits!

CatZ you and ROOT are so solid I love it. You will always be my favorite team (NA represent!). If any one doubts ROOT's capabilities, they are at fault. Just watch KiWiKaKi decimate every team he goes against. Then watch Drewbie decimate every team he goes against. Oh yea and they have Minigun, such a beast toss. The CatZ of zerg is in the ROOT lineup as well. (everyone also forgets DdoRo I don't know why because he is a boss!). ROOT is the best team in NA hands down.

Head to ROOT GAMINGs forums, and get some traffic through their site, to help them out. Talk to Paulo there.
Meanwhile. This is an FXO thread.

Congrats to these players for getting into a solid team!

Nice pickup by FXO, hope it turns out great!
Sad to see root losing another high profile stable player, hope they can represent in NASL and land some sweet sponsor.
