(Z)Petraeus has been with ROOT since the end of 2013, and moved to Europe in 2014 after his US visa expired. He has been there since then, even playing in the WCS EU qualifiers.

I see mYi picking him up since he is already there and they havent recruited foreign blood in a long time. He is on the brink of success in this game and he has more dedication than almost any pro.

GL to him going forward.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

another fantastic individual who will never be nothing more than he is in SC2. I love Petreaus as a person and a player, but its for the best that he has left ROOT. I just hope they can find new talent we haven't already seen for the last 4, almost 5, years.
I might be the minority on TL, but TL is the minority everywhere else.

He's staying in the mYi house at the moment and he has a British passport that allows him to do so.

This was a little rude and uncalled for, I think ROOT is the best foreign team honestly in certain aspects, the players that join ROOT or even the ROOT academy always tend to grow as a player and as a person with the time they spend there.
