Today, mYinsanity is excited to announce our first North American pick up:  Kane! Kane will be relocating to the mYinsanity gaming house in Switzerland in the next month, and will be representing mYinsanity in European events. He will also be playing WCS Europe in 2014.
Kane was able to really make a name for himself in May of this year, winning the Shoutcraft America Invitational, beating out players like QXC, Goswser and State to claim the title. Along with a strong showing at MLG Anaheim, he was also able to take top 4 at the Red Bull Training Grounds in June.
Currently, Kane is topping the North American Grandmaster ladder, as well as maintaining a very high rank on the European ladder. We look forward to seeing what he can do in upcoming team leagues and offline events!
Statement from Kane:
Although I'm sad to be leaving the ROOT family, I'm really excited for the opportunities that mYinsanity has offered me. I'm eager to travel overseas for the first time and train with players such as Stardust, Jjakji, and many more in the mYi team house. Additionally, I belive that moving to Europe and staying in the team house will offer me much more exposure in terms of events, and will offer me a more structured training environment. Once again, I'd like to thank ROOT for all they have done, and would also like to give a huge thank you to mYi in offering me this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I can't wait to hopefully show some results and improve myself as a player.

Good pickup for mYi, getting a good lineup going!

Good pickup by MYI. I feel bad for Root though. I kind of saw that comin since he chose not to live in the root house.

I was thinking about "mYInsanity?" seeing that Kane want to explore oppotunities in Europe, and bam!
|
Looking forward to it. While Kane's recent performance wasn't that good, the reason why I can say that is because he repeatedly proved in the past that he can compete with the better foreign players. I hope the change of atmosphere and the new environment will help him improve in sc2! 
edit: also looking forward to see more of him and mYi in the European cups!

Great pickup, I can't wait to see Kane at European events! :D

Nice, congratulations Kane, excited to see you compete in europe soon.
|

|
Great! Looking forward to seeing what Kane can do in Europe. Expecting some good results
|
What's mYinsanity's full pro lineup then? they have quite a big roster now with players of very wide-ranging skill levels haha
Great pickup!
|
Congrats! I hope it all works out for you.
|
|
|
I don't think he's quite yet at the level as the rest of the roster... making this a GREAT move for him
Will see huge improvement with those teammates ESP stardust which has great PvZ and Kane will really improve from it.
|
congratz, looks like a good opportunity. But it's not that good for the NA scene :/

I doubt most of the players on the roster get paid that much.
Good luck for Kane. Hopefully you'll do well here and we'll see you at many tournaments in the near future.
|
From north america to switzerland, sound pretty good to me. Also new practice partners arent bad either. Good luck to him, I used to pop in to his stream here and then.
|
myi going full Acer, I like it.
And I hope more teams settle down within a day´s driving distance of WCS places. Dem planes be expensive.
|
Good for Kane, I felt like he would get picked up quickly. Now we just have to see where Yugioh goes.

Wow that was quick.
My guess would be that he already had this lined up when he left ROOT. In that case fact that the announcements of his departure and then his signing were so close together is not all that surprising.

Best of luck to you Sir.Kane

Kane will kick some ass in EU! There's lots of EU players that play on NA but Kane still had GM #1. Hope he does as well in LANs!

Kaaane! Glad to see you acted on your desires of having a team with dedicated practice and a goal to be the best. Let's fucking do this!
