( do they still have it lol? ) Catz selling calendars door to door? anyways, lets hope he gets picked up by someone who can offer him a decent living. edit: not that ROOT is a bad team, I mean its the best NA has to offer atm. I just hope Nathanias left because he had another offer on the table. | ||

I might be joining a pro team in the near future as a caster, and they won't pay me cash but they will give me free hardware and such. The funny thing is, a lot of people think that casters on pro teams get paid poop-tons, when in fact I think maybe the only caster who may have been paid that much ever in history, just for joining a team, might just be Orb. Why do I say that? Because he joined both EG and Quantic and was banned from both. | ||

I know just how hard it is to get the time, have e decent end product but I think that's needed since we do not see anything come out from ROOT. I would lov to get to know the players more. Weekly/monthly updates on progress. Rutines of the house, how the players enjoy it there. Give us some sweet content! On topic...

'Being on' ROOT is completely meaningless as they are an insignificant operation, so why make these meaningless announcements? | ||
