Great job ROOT. I'm glad this is not an April Fool's joke. Now go show Idra who's boss this weekend!


sadly i wont make it to dallas this week-end, wanted to bring a pacifier for IdrA, just in case
I lost all my respect for this guy after his recent attitude, not only in TSL vs CrunCher but also on his stream... Greg needs to show better sportmanship plz, we dont need Alex Rodriguez's in the Sc 2 scene plz

So the company that is forming a $150,000 league is sponsoring one of the teams that would compete? And, in the case of NASL, one of the players is on the league's payroll? Surely there are no other professional sports leagues that would allow this type of thing.

Welcome to eSports bro, nothing is done professionally, there are no qualifications, people make stupid decisions.

This delay is easy to explain. The morning of the day i wanted to set up the sponsor images, i was working in the garden which resulted in an accident. I needed to go to the hospital and stay there for nearly a week. I'm back since today and currently working on the new images.

So please don't speculate about this you don't know about. Sometimes its just as simple as a broken admin

PS : Everythings fine i'm healty again :D

Wow, just wow, that's one big advertisementdeal, I'm really surprised about Pokerstars, but it does make sense, seeing how Destiny streams his pokergames sometimes. And he's in good relations with admins over at JTV, same goes for Catz, and IGN is expanding into E-Sports. I'm really happy for Root, they've deserved it, so good luck and this will increase your guys efame. 2011 will be the year of ROOTgaming.
