EPTWhen ROOT Gaming reformed in May 2012, there was a player we knew we had to have. ViBE is someone we had wanted for the original incarnation of ROOT, but he had been under contract with Sixjax which made it impossible. Luckily, when the opportunity came again, ViBE was available and ROOT welcomed him to the family. That year he would go on to win WCS USA and take 2nd in WCS NA, only falling to Scarlett. He would be a constant fixture of WCS NA Premier throughout 2013, as well as a participant in several Red Bull events. He would be invited to take part in the Heart of the Swarm Global Invasion Launch Event in Irvine alongside Suppy, Polt and MC. He has won about $30,000 since joining ROOT, putting him at #6 on the NA earnings list. He has been a good player and a great friend.
Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever. After over 2 years in the ROOT jersey, ViBE and ROOT will be parting ways. ViBE had this to say about his decision:

I have never enjoyed being on a team as much as ROOT, as I have been friends and practice partners with many of the players on this team since the start of SC2. The peak of my career so far was during my time on ROOT. It had a lot to do with the amazing atmosphere ROOT can give a player. I call the people on this team my closest friends in the eSports community and will continue to do so while not being under ROOT's banner. I thought about this decision for quite a while - and it was definitely not an easy choice - but I feel like it's the right one for me right now. I'll still ROOT4ROOT in any match I see because after my experience with this team I feel like a part of me will always be ROOT. MAKE DA ROACH!

We will continue to play with and ROOT for Dan whether he's wearing our jersey or not, and we hope you will too. He's a great player and a fantastic guy. We're lucky to have had him as a part of ROOT Gaming.
