They have no financial sponsors and fail to do any media exposure. Congrats to Nathanias for the smart move. | ||

( 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 like this imagery so much that this is now how I will always picture ROOT paying for anything, just through catz's masterful calender sales pitches. | ||

On topic... (fail by me) I guess its only a natural move by Nathanias since other partners, employee etc contacts you. Gotta take every chance you can to make it! | ||

He is listed as a caster, but he was on the roster for ATC and even played a game at the end of the season. | ||

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. | ||

In the interview with Wax at IEM he said he wasn't going to be a castor for Proleague, though if offered he probably would take the job. Well wherever he goes, good luck to him. Definitely a talented caster | ||

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...

He could do it by himself, no need for another caster with him. | ||

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

People who pay to support teams hardly ever do it simply for expected gains. This isn't kickstarter. And many of Root's members contribute quite a bit to weekly shows. | ||

If you promise something you better hold yourself to it no matter that "people did it from the good of their selfless hearts" as you are implying. | ||

Not sure if this is what he was talking about, but inbetween Acer cup casts he spent the entire ~1.5 hours bitching about Protoss, and when TB joined the RC/Skype channel/call the both of them were circle jerking over how bullshit toss is. | ||

Anyway, leaving an unsignificant team with no merit to it's name, isn't something to worry about if you have high goals. How is ROOT an insignificant team with no merit to its name? Are you crazy?
