(Z)Petraeus signs for Root Gaming!! Wishing him all the luck.

After spending all of 2014 as a part of ROOT and living in America, Petraeus tried his hand in Europe for the 2015 WCS. He managed a Top 8 finish last season while attending school. We were all excited to see him perform so well, and are even more excited to announce that he is rejoining ROOT Gaming.

"Petraeus" wrote:

Although I'm back at school, I'm confident that I'll be able to maintain good results in WCS and am excited to be once again under the ROOT banner!

Petranus is one of our prodigal sons. When he first joined ROOT hardly anyone had heard of him. Personally, I've always been really proud of his accomplishments, both in and out of the team, and I am thrilled to have him back where he belongs, at least for this year.


(T)MaSa Leaves ROOT Gaming!
Also, after over three years as a part of ROOT Gaming, MaSa and ROOT are parting ways. CatZ often called him the secret weapon of ROOT, and he proved himself in clan wars, LANs, and most recently in Archon Mode. Maru has been part of ROOT for longer than almost anyone, and we've enjoyed seeing him improve and grow over the last few years. We wish him nothing but the best, and will certainly be cheering for him in the future.

Did he already stop going to school or is he doing both?

EDIT; Just read the article, I see he's still staying in school and no more Root Masa

That's on purpose. The origin of this is actually Xenocider making some stupid Reddit post back in 2013.

"HEY I QUALIFIED FOR WCS AM CHALLENGER I BEAT ZENIO AND PETARNEUS NOTICE ME GUYS PLEASE"

Then Pet's friends and the guys in SEA started calling him misspelled variations of Petraeus and it expanded from there and now it seems like Petranus is the standard.

Either way it is extremely ambiguous considering the fame of Maru and the fact that he is called MaSa and Maru in the same paragraph.
