Root has a pretty sick lineup...

But do they actually have the sponsorship and money this time around?

Happy to see ToD joining a new team, hopefully we can see him perform well for Root. On the other hand, as Bagi just said, I hope Root has a strong enough base to keep all of these players. I'm not too worried though. They have some very popular streamers in there, giving them a pretty solid fan base...the big sponsorships could be just around the corner. Let's hope so for them.

Gratz to ToD for getting picked up. But honestly, i dont see ROOT accomplishing anything in sc2 outside the US. They just dont have the talent pool for it. But lets hope they dont tank this time again. Destiny... lolez

Twitch.tv and Rushordertee's are their current sponsors. I hope they can gain a few more so they can truly be comfortable. Apparently CatZ has a buddy helping out with the financial aspect of the team this time around. It's also worth noting that most of Root's roster have been on various major teams throughout the scene. I'm sure they knew what they were getting into, otherwise Root wouldn't nearly have the roster size it has now.
SC:BW has a higher skill ceiling than SC2? SC 64 is where it's at brah.

I'm curious about what Root is able to provide their players with in terms of salaries.

I don't know why CatZ doesn't bother to invest into a spellchecker, yet he hires a frenchman to play protoss for money.

Partly kidding. CatZ, get yourself someone who knows rhetorics and spelling to post your official staments, if you're going to spend a ton of money anyways.

How are root able to afford these players? I understand they have some sponsors but a player like tod can't be cheap I'm just curious what root offered to tod.

They're relocating to Catz' house in Lima with a 2nd "training" house in Le Paz coming soon. When the players aren't practicing they'll be growing, exporting and distributing Cocaine through the guise of a team of successful progamers.

(Z)CatZ and (T)Drewbie are the masterminds, and are using Catz connections and knowledge of the local area to get started.

(P)Fayth and (P)KiWiKaKi are the main investors, but Kiwikaki will also be using his Vegas connections to set up distribution to the biggest hotels on the Las Vegas strip.

(P)RotterdaM and (P)ToD are going to use their knowledge and connections in the European rave scene to help start distribution there, but as part of Catz' master plan they will also use the current European economic crisis in order to run for office in their respective countries and eventually bring in of the legalisation of medicinal coca throughout Europe, of which Root will be the only officially sanctioned supplier.

(Z)Fitzyhere, (P)PuCK, and (T)MaSa are there to try and influence American college and high-school kids to start using cocaine they will then oversee the distribution of that segment.

(T)Major was an extremely important pickup. Without him there is no way that Root would be able to get their coca through Mexico's dangerous borderlands into the US, he will use his extensive network to ensure safe transit of the cargo.

There is only one piece of the Puzzle missing. That is, you guessed it, (Z)CoCa. With him they can avoid arousing the suspicion of the law from continually talking about Coca, because they will think that they're just discussing the salary of their ace zerg.


BRILLIANT!
