http://www.root-gaming.com/news/view/sc2-roster-updates-112#.VMfU8C408Z_

"We are adding Goswser to our SC2 squad as he recently came back into SC2 full time. Since I was on compLexity (he was in the coL academy back then) I've seen him grow and become one of the best Zerg players in North America. He recently signed with us for this year and so we're happy to announce him as a part of our team and family.

We are releasing MajOr from our SC2 roster (this is before his contract expires, as we honestly believe it's in the best interest of both parties). We wish him good luck in the future."

ROOT's current active roster is:

(P)Astrea
(Z)CatZ
(Z)Goswser
(Z)Hydra
(T)iaguz
(T)MaSa
(P)Minigun
(T)nathanias
(P)RotterdaM
(Z)SolO
(T)SuperNova

Note: (T)Illusion, (Z)Sasquatch and (P)Caliber are considered to be inactive, though officially still on the team.

Interesting pickup. I guess he won't be inactive any more?

Back when MajOr started on ROOT I should have made a bet on how many times he'd leave ROOT.
Grats to Goswser though. I wonder what will MajOr do team-wise.

Root gaming is quickly building up a reputation as a rotating door.

Goswser has been one of the better Zerg players in NA for a long time. Major....honestly why would you sign him. No team loyalty and he hasn't really won anything major. Sure he is talented. I feel bad for root .

One of Major's longer tenures with a team clocking in just shy of seven months. Wonder where he'll go next.

Glad to see Goswser back as he has had some pretty great moments in the past.

imo Major should fly solo for a while so he can figure out on his own what he wants to do. He seems conflicted all the time, missing events, etc. Good luck to him.

Promoted from SEED during...I think it was DH Stockholm.

Goswser doesn't seem very ROOT, but I guess Catz is prepared to give everyone a stint if he thinks they can provide a benefit.
The world is better when every background has a chance.

I dont know what to think about ROOT.
They got this 5k$ a month teamhouse eating all of their flowing money, take alot of pros, move them there and when the pros get a better contract from another team, they leave again...

In the last remax they talked about ROOT like being a Clan with a big team house. When nothing goes, you move there, improve and when a team asks you, you leave ROOT again.

Major joins ROOT maybe in 2 month again... or he moves to Korea like he did 2 years ago.

CatZ posted on reddit he is trying to make the team a bit more stable mainly for sponsorship reasons. Major was asked to leave the team (and to his credit he agreed and didn't throw a fit) because he was so difficult to work with and make him do anything. So I don't think Major leaving is a huge sign of the apocalypse for the team. I mean -- its major. I also think WCS NA really helps out root having an NA team house. It should provide a bit of reliable income based upon prize money. It will probably be *the* team and team house for WCS NA.

Hm after reading the Reddit post from Catz, I think Root will have a good year if they stay on track. Streamlining their roster is a good move and they should have a solid presence in WCS this year and maybe even a champion with Hydra.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.
