I am so happy for ROOT they deserve it... Only wish QXC was still with them to help there team show the value of sponsoring a good root-team

Kiwi- Probably pays enough on pokerstars that what they rake off his hands is worth there sponsorship

IGN - Solid Very sick

Justin.tv - Always a strong SC2 Supporter

Man, really wish there hadn't been that troll prior; sort of undermines the awesomeness of this ACTUAL endorsement. Huge props though either way! 8)

I get the ING and Justin.tv sponsors but why would pokerstars also do it? Just a bit confused =x

Anyway, Congratz ROOT, those are great sponsors you have there! =]

Pretty sure Intel sponsors a tonne of korean teams, and they could probably size up larger than all 3 of these put together. But thats not to say that these sponsor are HUGGGGGE, especially for a young team like ROOT. I am sooo happy for these guys, and I hope minigun no longer has to miss events like dallas thanks to this type of financial backing. <3 chadwick
