Original annoucement

[image loading]


Today it is with great pleasure that we are announcing our new Title Sponsor for StarCraft 2: Oseanic StarCraft 2 Championship (OSC) through this partnership, ROOT Gaming will be proudly representing OSC in SC2, moving forward as OSC-ROOT!...

Thanks to this partnership, OSC-ROOT will be able to offer additional support to our top performing players and create a system to reward hard-work and dedication for the rest of our squad moving forward.

And we're not even done yet; with this new look and name, come new faces! And unfortunately, we must also say good bye to some good friends.


OUT:
(R)Caliber
(Z)Revolution
(Z)Petraeus (as inactive)

IN:
(Z)DemiLove
(Z)PandaBearMe
Probe
(T)Sparrow

EDIT: OSC annoucement

OSC PLAYER SPONSORSHIPS!
THE NEXT STEP IN OUR GOAL OF SUPPORTING SC2 PLAYERS AND GROWING THE SPORT!

We have selected an elite group of proven tournament performers to support, and form our own Competitive Team.
We will be providing them all with a competitive industry standard salary, $ incentive opportunities (such as ongoing position in OSC World Rankings + participation bonuses), and travel support!
Here they can represent us not just in our league, but other competitions around the world!
The Sponsorships/Team will be run and operated separately to OSC League Management.

We also support an Extended Squad, consisting of up and coming players and streamers, which can provide a pathway towards greater glories!
These players are a key part of the OSC ROOT family, as at it’s core, ROOT + OSC both aim to support players improve, and believe stacraft is about having fun, and interacting with the community – and this is where some of these players excel! Should these players opt to become more active in tournaments, we will support them transition into the Pro Squad.
Anyone can apply for a spot on the squad, but applicants will be carefully selected and positions will be limited.


Competitive Team:
(Z)Hydra
(T)Kelazhur
(P)puCK
Probe
(Z)DemiLove
(Z)PandaBearMe
(T)Semper
(Z)JimRising

Extended Squad:
(T)Sparrow
