Announcement from ROOT
ROOT Gaming is sad to announce the departure of two of our players, YuGiOh and Kane. It’s important to us that all of our players have the best opportunity to Succeed (pun intended). With ROOT, the language barrier, time schedules and distance made it difficult to help YuGiOh achieve his goals as a player within the team. With the establishment of the gaming house, SEED and the acquisition of new players, we're taking a step back from 'Korea' and trying to focus a bit more on the NA scene and pool of talent.
ROOTKane brought us the SHOUTcraft championship within a month of joining, and we’re sad to see him go. Kane has elected to pursue opportunities in Europe, and unfortunately, our reach doesn’t quite extend across the pond. Kane’s talent and exuberance were great assets to the ROOT lineup, and we wish him the best of luck in his next adventure.
I would not be surprised if YugiOh or Kane was picked up fairly quickly by another team.

wow this is huge. wish they could of stayed :/

GL to both; both are very talented and shouldn't have a real issue finding a team - or so I would imagine.
As for "why", I imagine it's the usual - pick one or more of the following: salary disagreement, contract wasn't renewed, personality conflicts, got a better offer from another team, wanted to move to a different place/region, etc

Can you put some effort into the OP please. You don't really serve the community by running a race to get the first post off here :p <3

Does this mean Kane will start streaming again?
Hated that he stopped streaming once he joined a pro team 
e: oh he's going to europe probably to join another team

I'm hoping for Liquid to pick him up. They haven't had anyone join in a while.

Good luck to both players on finding new teams. Less surprised about Yugioh leaving. He didnt really play in any SC2L matches besides the very first IIRC. It seemed like he wasn't as involved with the team as he was in the beginning. Kane was playing with them quite a bit but I understand the Europe part.

he seems like a perfect fit imo.

"Kane has elected to pursue opportunities in Europe" aka Millenium.
Surprising news. YuGiOh could end up with Axiom unless during the whole jessica debacle he was on the other side :o
|
At Dreamhack Valencia I got Yugioh to sign a Yugioh card of mine, it was the first one he's signed :D.
|
Both really good players, tough loss for ROOT. Kane's been #1 NA GM recently and Yugioh did very well at a recent Dreamhack. I'd expect both of them to get picked up.

YuGiOh to Kespa most likely, not sure about Kane tho. ANyways best of luck to YuGiOh, Kane and RootsGaming +(((((((
Sad to see so many xfers in the Sc2 scene.

Kane has a gm account with every race I thought on NA? I wish I was a natural. Gl to both.

I'd like Yugioh to go to Axiom. Kane I don't know. Being an American, it's usually either be EG, be TL, be Root or be irrelevant. ( CoL is kind of quiet these days )

Yugioh sounds like a great pick-up for a Korean team. I hope he finds the support he deserves.

Just remind him of that time when MMA, Ryung, and Ganzi were fighting over him as first pick in GSL because he was an easy win.

Looking at the potential players Sniper could kill in R1 the two best opponents he could kill to cause the most sadness is Seed and MKP. If he beats MKP, MKP could very well retire. If he beats Seed, it would be the 3rd time he was knocked out of the ro48 Code A.

Back when Yugioh was a free agent TB said in yugioh's stream if he had the money to sign him he would. I would be surprised if anyone other than Axiom signed him.

Kane! I hope they both find a good team soon. Especially Kane, because he is the man.

Well considering how many players root has on their roster, I saw something like this coming.
But gl to yugioh and kane

Teamliquid needs a strong Zerg,

I remember being so impressed by Yu-gi-oh!'s play against everyone except Flash in some recentish tournament that I sent both Husky and TB an email requesting that they sign him. I hope Axiom picks him up finally.

Last thing I need to see is Acer Yugioh..

i'd bet on mill, but there are other teams left in EU, right? (mouz)

Not bad really, took us about a year to get out of the red. Here's to adding a Zerg and affording more flights for the players

Okey, I'm going all out on this one but I will offer Kane the following:
1. Some free space within my own room.
2. About 10 € per week + his own earnings in tournaments.
Conditions:
1. Be a good friend.
2. Teach me zerg.
Please drop whatever you got for this offer. It's all I can give.

Yes, but as far as I heard, Kane has fixed plans on moving to Europe.

Axiom me thinks for yugioh. I'm kind of happy that they are focusing more on NA than trying to spread their resources too much. Kane was a great pick up as well as Yugioh and I sad to see them go.

Hope Yugioh can find a new team fast, sad it didn't work out. And ye already knew Kane would be invading EU gl there !

Seems like such a weird excuse to say: "Hey bitches, praise us for focussing on the US scene. Oh, while we're at it, we're kicking the American champion to the curb."
Poor Kane, first he wins a tournament, now he's teamless and will probably join some irrelevant team like MYI before he goes the way of the dodo.
For Yugioh, this could be a good thing. Getting picked up by Axiom is probably a huge upgrade for him.

The struggle of now being on a team with Stardust and Jjakji . Such an irrelevant team right?
