To be fair, it was made pretty clear IIRC that Major wanted to go to Kespa. It was his main goal, and anything else would always come second to that.

He (I think) made that clear to ROOT last time, and maybe it's even the same situation again now (although less likely he will have another chance to go to Korea I guess).
It's not like this is a case of "oh Major and ROOT are so stupid", it's a case of a guy with one key dream, Kespa, being given the chance to follow that dream by ROOT, and Major coming back to ROOT as well when he's had his chance.

If a motor racing driver was given a chance in Formula 1 from their current drive elsewhere, it's unlikely their team would want to deny them that opportunity, but if it doesn't work you can be sure they would probably be happy going back to their old team if they could.

Since the situation was made clear in the past, I don't see why anyone is making a big deal out of this.

At ROOT Gaming, we let Juan chase this dream -- contract or no, there's no way we would force somebody to play for us if they wanted to fulfill a dream like that. Juanito decided ROOT is his home, and although his dream of joining a KeSPA team remains, he decided that he would want to stay with ROOT at least until that dream becomes a reality. KeSPA teams are still an option for Juan, but we are letting Juan back into his contract with ROOT Gaming. If a time comes when he is offered the opportunity to join a KeSPA team, We have added an exception clause allowing Juan to go KeSPA.

-Catz

“I really want to join, but to be completely clear I would like the opportunity to leave if I had the chance to join a KeSPA team, and for no other reason”

-Major

So yeah, he did what he said he would do if he could, and then he had his time in Korea, and now he's back.
HOLY CHECK!

The title should read... "MajOr rejoins ROOT." Anywayz I'm happy for these news. I love ROOT and Juan is a baws. GL to both and I hope this time, Juan stays for years to come.

Well if it's any team that will take Juan back, has to be ROOT. Hopefully he stays for awhile this time.

Best terran NA hwaiting! Good luck to major on his "new" team. I'd love to see him join the team house to both help his new teammates and solidify his standing as an official member of root but I doubt it'll happen

Best foreign terran is finally on a team. Congrats Juan and ROOT


lol Polt and Bunny both better foreign terrans. Avilo is close too.

Polt is better, but not foreign. I'd say Bunny, Dayshi, MajOr and Happy are forming the elite of foreign terrans atm. However, avilo is not that close to them. Aligulac has him at #126 at the moment and even if you consider, that a few player above him might only be there, because they are new and didn't play that much yet, there is still a good number of them, who are without a doubt better.

Has he indicated what name he's going to go by? Can I vote he goes back to Princess?

Yes he will probably leave again if he gets another really good opportunity. Root is normally fine with it (not just in his case), which is part of what makes them an awesome group of people. They genuinely care about and support their players and their careers, and still they outlasted a good number of more "ambitious" NA organizations.
