Damn, Major would be the strongest player on Root now, I think. A great pick up for sure.

Look at all their past signings and try to tell me they are recruiting on player performance rather than fanbase/notoriety.

Obviously...
ROOT isn't able to pay salaries afaik so they need players that can support themselves.

wait what? which player have they signed that has a huge fanbase? You have the original ROOT guys (Catz, Drewbie, Slush, Kiwikaki, Fayth, Destiny)

Then they brought in Puck and Fitzy, who played a show match to get in. They brought in ViBe who is a damn good Zerg and won WCS USA shortly after joining ROOT. Also they just brought in MaSa who isn't fan favorite (yet at least) but is rather talented. TT1 also joined, but to say they brought him on for his fanbase, while people know who he is, he's not exactly popular. Major also isn't very popular, but rather incredibly skilled. So he definitely was recruited on performance.

The only player they brought in that was from fanbase is Rotterdam. So to say that ROOT is recruiting on fanbase/notoriety rather than player performance is a dumb statement. Especially when half their recruits were unknowns when they signed them.

Good luck to Major. Hopefully he can start doing well in tournaments now and justify the reputation.

Hopefully major sticks with this team long-term. Seems like a good fit. The real question is are we going to see another name-change? haha
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Cool, he has always been a very slick Terran and the team history really shouldn't overshadow that outside of reddit. Congrats to Major and ROOT!
