Are they building an army or something :p ?
I don't even remember what sponsor they had.

Grats to Both, i was wondering where ToD would go to, did not expect ROOT at first but with Rotterdam there i can see the connection.

Not sure; perhaps a nod to Catz's 'WEWIN!' catchphrase?

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.

It all makes sense now.

I think a lot of the bigger players are probably almost entirely self sponsored [maybe only getting stipends for flights etc]. Catz, destiny etc should all make good money just on stream numbers, the lower level players are generally living with their parents [fitzy and puck etc] and so dont require much of a pay. A lot of them already remarked in interviews there fine with a pay decrease because they have financial stability, and the long term benefits will be worth it. Financial stability= stream, merchandise, perhaps online poker, etc.

No headline when ToD left Fnatic, which was surprising me, but at least a headline for the fact he joins root

Gratz ToD !

Pretty bad for ROOT. ToD is so bad player nowadays. He havent even got to GM in eu. Yes he have hundres of games this season...

He havent anything as long as I remember. Have he ever won anything? Fnatic did great job when they left him.
