Totally looking forward to this. ROOT is an excellent team, doing a fantastic job of contributing to the NA e-sports scene. Absolutely up there with the other big teams.

But guys, you seriously need to consider designing a new logo for your team. Your brown trollface whateverthefuck it is is looking sooo unprofessional next to other team logos. Just imagine it hanging next to the professionally designed flags of the GSTL, or EG, or TL. >_>

What?! The logo is perfect, represents the great personality of the team. So awesome. In my humble opinion at least. Sick logo, sick team!

Only a few hours before takeoff! Gonna be epic, good games everyone.

haha, fair enough.

I actually don't have anything against a "personified" logo compared to the more abstract design/typeface logos of the other teams... but I guess I see his place rather as a mascot than the official team logo. >_>

EGIncontrol has informed me that due to a last minute timing issue, he will not be able to play tonight. His teammate and fellow protoss EGInka will be taking his place for the tournament.

I was under the impression that iNkA is no longer part of EG? Could anyone clarify this for me?

Anyhow, looking forward to this today!

Map pool is in the OP, and there's no GSL map for this tournament, due to the fact it was in planning a long time ago.

Ya this is what I was thinking. I love the little root guy, but I think it would also be cool to have a root logo in addition to him, and he would be more like a mascot. Meh, it won't bother me either way though.

On another note... it sucks to see that InControL won't be playing... I was looking forward to his game against Sheth.

Games we will be casting tonight:

Game 1 (RO32) - ROOTCatZ vs ThisIsJimmy
Game 2 (RO32) - ROOTMinigun vs NOVAstalife
Game 3 (RO32) - SeleCT vs ppgBubbles
Game 4 (RO32) - ROOTKiWiKaKi vs vVvMurDeR
Game 5 (RO16) - ? vs ?
Game 6 (RO16) - ? vs ?

As a reminder to the players, if your match is NOT going to be cast, then you will begin play at 8 pm EST. If your match IS going to be cast, we will be casting them in order from the top of the bracket down. You are expected to wait and be ready to go as soon as we finish casting the match prior to yours. I understand that this can sometimes feel like a long wait, especially if you are the last match to be cast in the Round of 32, but please have some patience - we will be proceding with little to no downtime and will hopefully be moving quickly through the bracket.
