Today, we're happy to announce that Ryan "State" Visbeck has joined ROOT Gaming, and will be living in the ROOT House in California. You can expect him to be playing and streaming from the team house immediately.


State will still remain being personally sponsored by GameFront, and there's some interviews on GF with some great insight of CatZ and State.
Excerpt:
ROOT Gaming has changed a lot since it was reformed two years ago. What is your overall vision for ROOT? Where do you see ROOT in another two years?

We are a lot more organized than we were previously. The first run ROOT had was a great one, but as owners of the team, we had little clue about what to do, and this is a difficult industry to get informed about. This time around, we got more people involved to cover different areas of the team on the management side.

Link to GF article

Gratz to ROOT and State!

Great pick up! I was expecting a terran player though since ROOT are very low on terrans. Maybe we will see another pickup for ROOT this week!

Really good player, he deserves it. ROOT is one of the teams that has a really solid lineup, that would be hard to beat in a team league. Clarity vs ROOT showmatch? :D

State is an extremely talented NA toss. I believe that he'll show great results soon after you give him some time in the team house

Nice seeing an old team Vile guy on ROOT. I always thought there was a little rivalry going on between the teams way back when. Grats to both State and ROOT =D

Maybe ROOT can pick up Spanishiwa too. That kid has always been smart and talented as hell. Maybe he's too focused on studying though.

I was waiting for State to be picked up by a NA team. He was teamless for too long.
