Wow that's cool that Hydra was willing to take a lower salary to join ROOT. Although it was likely influenced by the fact that the foreign team market is kinda bad, I still think Hydra could do really well on ROOT. Catz can give him builds for days


Hydra still should have knocked Classic out of GSL S2 except he loves to throw for days.

Maybe he'll stay in Korea and will fly out to non-WCS foreign events?

Catz is literally the best in the business when it comes to picking up good players without spending a butt load of money. ROOT's lineup just keeps getting sicker and sicker, and they don't have a million sponsors like EG did when they were at the top of foreign SC2. EG just "bought" the players they thought were the best by throwing money at them, where Catz somehow finds a way to get these amazing players even though he probably doesn't have nearly as much money at his disposal (speaking purely from speculation here - I don't pretend to know how much money Catz/ROOT actually has).

Iaguz, Major, Illusion, and Masa - possibly 4 of the best foreign Terrans, and then Supernova - an amazing Korean Terran.

Chad mother fucking Minigun Jones - the sickest Protoss to ever live.

Petraeus - really good foreign Zerg, and now Hydra - incredible Korean Zerg

Not to mention, Catz is an amazingly talented player himself! Keep up the good work, Paulo! #ROOT4ROOT

I don't know that ROOT is putting much effort into the signing.

Interesting. How is he going to be able to play in WCS NA after the 2015 changes?


If they're moving him into the house, I'd imagine they're already working on the necessary paperwork.

Living in the US for 3 months at a time on a visa waiver or visitor visa doesn't let you play in WCS AM though (not to mention you're not supposed to be "working" on such a visit). Can Catz really secure an athlete visa for him?

Maybe he will be permanently in Mexico instead. Should work as well for WCS AM and I imagine it's a lot easier to pull off :O

Also - I'm really more and more impressed by ROOT. Definitely coolest NA SC2 team ATM (sorry EG) - just acquired t-shirt.

Actually it was, as I have a PM to prove it, and Shellshock being Shellshock was kind of the whole point. I was literally asked to put some effort into posting why joining ROOT would be a joke move. :D

Your post had a negative slant to it rather than pure surprise. No less, you should take this issue to Website Feedback or PM another moderator if you feel you weren't treated fairly. Don't derail this thread with moderation issues.

I don't like CatZ and ROOT, but I like Hydra getting a team. Not sure how to feel about this.

Whatever I think of it, gl to Hydra. Hopefully this works out for him.

Dude, it was made in jest. I can't help that The_Templar is unable to conceive facts and needs everything explained to him.

I like how they even admit they can't really pay him as much as he (probably) was receiving back in CJ but he still wanted to join. Rare to see people that overlook the whole dollar bill bullshit and do what they think is right for them in the long run.

Hope Root and Hydra do well together!

I remember cheering for Hydra during that MSL finals. He is such a talent and a good pick up. Go ROOT and Hydra!

Actually, I searched your posts for warnings you had received and the very bad post you made on the front page of this thread didn't show up for some reason. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
