I'm continually amazed at how blue-eyed this community is. You think some mid-tier NA team is getting buckets of cash from their sponsors? No, that's not how it works. I was on a pretty big team in another game sponsored by TT and we got gear and nothing else. No money, nothing. Just mouse, pad, headset, keyboard... not even for all the players. In return they got their logo plastered all over the team site and in the clan tag.
My point is that root really is a very small player in an already small industry. Most SC2 "pros" don't get salaries, at least no more than a token salary that's little more than pocket change, and most teams don't earn any real money. There are exceptions, presumably EG for example, but for the most part people need to tone down their expectations when a team gets sponsored by some company like this.
Just getting gear is honestly impressive for any team that isn't too big or well-known, so props to root and gl in the future. ROOT's budget includes a house and at least the minimum needs of about ten players off of 4 main sponsors: Twitch, Das, AverMedia and TTE (forgive me if I've forgotten someone). I'm not sure how you're adding up your math, but by my guestimate, that's about $1,000 a month per sponsor. I'm not sure how godlike your team was, but ROOT is more involved in streaming media in NA than any other team. ROOT players get on more shows and generally place higher in tournament than any other NA team, generally only exceeded by hired Koreans on EG and the like and the occasional Quantic/coL showing. I know that on the world stage, the US teams are struggling, but on the NA stage, ROOT is really working hard and showing a lot of leadership.
You are aware the community raised tens of thousands for ROOT to move into that team house, right? Maybe I misinterpreted your post, but it would seem these sponsors provide little financial support.

If you know so much enlighten me. From an outside point of view, there looks to be a lack of a significant compensation in regards to any salaries or living conditions.

So you can misinterpret that new information in new and interesting ways? Yeah no thanks sunset had the right idea that kind of talk is neither appropiate or useful. I'd rather you just not talk about something you clearly know nothing about
edit dang kindle fire misspelled a word and didn't even notice then it wouldn't let me correct it until I got on my laptop.

I've always loved it when teams (or people) could work out agreements like this. I'll use TTEsports equipment, EXCEPT keyboards, Das does that. - sort of thing. Not sure why, but really cool ROOT! :D

Say, $300 * 8 = $2400? Still, good stuff.

You call someone wrong and refuse to correct them when they ask? Sorry, but you're no better than he is - worse, in fact. At least he wasn't an ass and looked for correction.

Nice, happy for catz an his guys..best wishes for RooT
|
Q: What about das keyboards though?
A: They will still use das keyboards everything else TT
add to op please :D
|
So, WhiteRa sponsors Root now.. Nice.. 
|
Great news. Goooo Root
|
I pretty much like the Axiom way of thinking, where the players are not forced to play on certain hardware due to sponsors... I don't think hardware sponsoring is the best way to support a team.

Great Job Root keep working hard
|
Great addition along with das keyboards :D
