ROOT Gaming has just announced that they have recruited a new and final recruit to complete the ROOT lineup. He is a Terran player living in Mexico, who is 17 years old still a student in High School. He has catapulted himself to the top of the ladder rankings in only two and a half weeks of playing the game, and a lot of people are saying he's scary good. He's former BroodWar tournament player, Rank A on ICCup, and a online practice partner for Korean proteam Hite Sparkyz under the tag GosI[Terran]. Juan looks to make a seamless transition to SC2 and is called a natural addition to ROOT's roster.

Included in the link is an interview with the new ROOT member, Juan "ROOTPrincess" Tena.

Incerpt from the interviews:

ROOT: Tell me a little about your BW career.

Juan: I was a online practice member for Hite SparkyZ. I played Terran
and rank A in ICCup. I also competed in some tournaments like WCG and TSLs.

ROOT: That's pretty sick. I thought I'd heard your name somewhere before. How do you like SC2?

Juan: I like it so far but I believe there's still a lot to evolve. I think theres alot of stuff to be figured out. Basically the game has a lot of potential.


Also included is an interview with ROOT's Leader, Paulo "CatZ" Viscarra:

ROOT: So, right off that bat, I'll say you that Juan is a brand new recruit to Starcraft 2, and almost immediately we've asked him to join the team. Is he on another level? What do you see in him that other Terrans don't have?

CatZ: Potential, incredibly ridiculous amounts of potential. Juan has already proven to be a formidable broodwar player through hard work and perseverance. But more importantly, he's only been playing SC2 for 3 weeks and he's already like top 10 on the ladder. We had been looking for a Terran for a while and we felt like no one met our standards until we came across him.

--------
ROOT: How does he stack up to the top players, is the the North American IMMVP?

CatZ: He can pretty much already beat about anyone in NA because he is incredibly hard to keep up with. But during practice games we found out funny stuff, like he didn't know roaches and infestors could move while burrowed, or that creep provided vision. So you'd see him send his medivacs into creep thinking his opponent couldn't see them.
when I said "Juan you know creep gives vision right?" he replied "REALLY?!" ... most of these things that seem basic, I mention it just to show how much potential this guy has, he just picked up the game
and is already playing at top level. In a few months we expect very much from him.


The rest of the interview can be found on ROOT's newspost, and can found here:
http://root-gaming.com/news/root-welcomes-rootprincess

With the recruitment of GosI[Terran], ROOT has stated that it is done recruiting players for a while. I think they have an extremely solid lineup for the upcoming tournaments such as NASL and MLG.

Hahahahahahahahaha.

Huge coup for ROOT though, Terran was an excellent BW player. Hopefully he matures.

Gosi[Terran] vs JF on Outsider, one of the best games in TSL2.

Good pickup!

Sweet pickup, name's a tad misleading but I'm sure his results will speak for themselves in time.
Edit: After reading about some of the potential drama surrounding GosI[Terran], I hope everything works out D:

haha, i remember watching catz stream when he first ran into him on ladder. Catz was skeptical that he had only been playing for 2 weeks at the time.

Interesting to see how it developed . He seems like a future heavyweight.
