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.

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.

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.

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.

I guess MajOr will come back for the 127th time in 3-5 months.

Catz quote from reddit: "MajOr can be hard to deal / manage at times, things as simple as making him use the overlays can be difficult. We are in the process of resigning with sponsors and trying to develop a stable team and atmosphere and I think it's best we're all in the same page. I talked to Juan and we agreed it'd be best if we part ways."

Pretty standard for Major.

back in the day it was funny how major acted the way he joined and left teams. but now... years later he just needs to either make up his mind or play on his own. players always seem to mature but how old is this guy? I hate it for anyone, but he seems to just be digging himself his own hole. :/ Still, good luck to goswser, major, and ROOT!

Oh Major. The way it's worded makes it sound like there were issues with Major. And Major obviously gives no shits about anything, so perhaps that's what "in the best interest for both parties" means.

Think how wicked it'd be if Major joined up with Naniwa, making the best foreign SC2 player duo. Humorously, both of them have pretty bad team relation skills.

In the past, hasn't there been a larger section to such releases detailing why MajoR has left? Before his contract expires, and almost an afterthought given to him in this information release... can't help but feel either it wasn't on the best of terms this time, or it's literally become "Here we go again, who gives a shit".
If everyone loves you, you're not doing it right.

The drama from that team would be amazing though. If we could get Scarlett to live tweet everything that happened with a Nani-Major team the world would be a perfect place.

There needs to be a teamhouse/team of Naniwa, Major, Scarlett, Huk, Kane, and Idra. Team Drama Dreamsquad. Best foreign team ever too.

Think how wicked it'd be if Major joined up with Naniwa, making the best foreign SC2 player duo. Humorously, both of them have pretty bad team relation skills.

Oh god, the world would implode from their resonating brain waves

The drama from that team would be amazing though. If we could get Scarlett to live tweet everything that happened with a Nani-Major team the world would be a perfect place.


There needs to be a teamhouse/team of Naniwa, Major, Scarlett, Huk, Kane, and Idra. Team Drama Dreamsquad. Best foreign team ever too.

Let's be realistic here. They would never get along.


EXACTLY! I'd give it about a month before someone stabbed another one.

PR 101 is to emphasize positive news when you have it. So they're trying to emphasize "We signed one of the best Zergs in America! Also, we had to part ways with Major. But dude, we signed a guy who made Top 4 at a Dreamhack in Heart of the Swarm!"

But wasn't that basically how the GOM Foreigner House fell apart?

I think CatZ is just handling this with grace and maturity.

MajOr should be the MC of the foreign scene. Fly solo-ish but have connections with teams.

With the difference that MC is actually a social person who gets along with people. :p

I have to remind myself that some birds (Major) aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright and when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice...

Seriously ROOT is the best house for players. I don't have a clue about salary but they give players visibility and a chance
to improve. I never saw ROOT as a transition house/team. They simply do different then most teams; Passion seems to be a bigger word then money. All my respect to Catz and his wonderful organisation.

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


Based on his track record, probably Root

Best of luck to Goswser and Major!

Anyone like to gamble on the date when Major rejoins ROOT?

I bet 100 esport dollars on "release of legacy of the void plus 2 weeks"
