ViBUUUUUU!

We've come full circle . ROOT4ROOT, expecting great things for ViBE in LOTV. Been following him since 2011, lots of ups and downs, but I'm glad to see him back home.

Go Root, new ultimate foreign powerhouse!! Hope that they will one day challenge for the Foreigner Throne and maybe even start showing themselves in Korea, maybe through Scarlett or NoRegret

Probably give them free t-shirts and whatnot. Those are always nice to have.

CatZ has said on many occasions that ROOT will stay primarily an SC2 team. It's very likely that the StarCraft 2 portion and it's players get much more support than any of the other parts of ROOT.

And honestly, he's sacrificing a lot to focus on SC2 more than other games. He recruited Ostkaka in Hearthstone, and Ostkaka went on to win Blizzcon after he'd left ROOT and moved to Navi. The second place finisher of that Blizzcon? Hotform, who was on ROOT at the time.

If he was willing to sacrifice the SC2 support and fully invest that in other games, ROOT would probably be a lot higher on the esports totem pole.

---

As for what they do for their players? Salaries and travel support (based on contracts I assume), having one of the few NA team houses available to live in, advertisement for streams and helping them gain traction and popularity in a scene? Is there something more they should be doing? ._.

Also, sick jerseys to wear.

Vibuuuu.

Grats to the three of them, Semper is really showing good improvement in the NA scene and the three of them are good NA representatives of their respective races.

GL to them!!
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

I've never really cheered much for ROOT before, but much respect to them for being a steady pillar in the foreign scene for so long. Congrats on the bigger and better roster!
