well deserved! Though ROOT has a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge roster at the moment, how does CatZ pay them all? He should leave some american talent for the rest of the orgs

I'm fairly sure most of them aren't salaried.

I suppose that the deal had to come out of the pipeline sooner rather than later. I hope that Kane will be able to take advantage of the upcoming team house in California.

Only a matter of time. Anyone watching Catz stream regularly will have seen the immense praise that catz has got for Kane. Grats to both parties.

Now Catz, can you please start making XXL ROOT shirts so fat bastards like myself can buy your shirts.

Xenocider keeps saying that Kane and Stephano are the only good Zergs on NA. So from what I hear this is a great pickup.

You would hope so ^ Well if they get a team house going and Kane can enter WCS NA Premier things should take off fast.

I watched Idra's stream few days ago when he played Kane, and he was pracing him a lot, saying he's quality zerg player. Dunno for before but I wasn't hate.

Grats to both parties, Kane has been on Skype with the ROOT members a lot lately so its been almost bound to happen for some time.

A really great player that didn't get enough attention till now.
He's definitely one of the best zergs on NA, definitely better than Idra (lol)

i remember posting some anti-bm in this guy's thread, saying it held him back or something. good to see he's reforming, saw a commentary by him and really liked the insights. am slowly becoming a fan.

good pickup root!
