Alive gaem! ROOT has always been an important pillar of SC2, and it's wonderful to see them stepping up even harder. Wishing you guys all the best

Really excited to see the extra support coming back into the scene . This is also an amazing deal for up and coming players looking to compete, get into a community for practice partners and have nice solid events similar to the ESL cups but with a way smaller amount of the top players.

I hope this is a huge success. Great idea!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

This is awesome news! ROOT Gaming was one of the first SC2 teams I first heard of back in the day, along with Team Liquid and Evil Geniuses. Glad they are being resurrected!!

ROOTCatZ (now caster/commentator) and ROOTKiWiKaKi were both staple names.

You have to be aware, that some players are given the master rank by failure of the ranking system.

At least on EU the MMR requirements for master can be much lower at the start of the season. I meet a lot of masters with 3500-3600 mmr. And I usually win, because I don't get scared of the master rank, as I know how they got it.

Nice, best of luck. What exactly do you mean by 'class' exactly? that phrasing implies some sort of training/education element - will those players be providing training for the masters+ players that will have the opportunity to join up? Would appreciate it if you could elaborate a bit more :D.


I'm interested about this as well.
How are they paid if they are not under a contract?
Also joining something that aims to become a foundation/support for future SC2 talent with cryptos just makes my stomach turn.


Players benefit from the system that everyone has access to, it's detailed in the post and there's more info on discord. The tournament circuit is as clearly stated, sponsored in partnership with Twitch.

Crypto will be used for people who want to buy things down the line, like merch or coaching or other optional perks, no one's forcing anyone to use the crypto or buy anything they don't want to buy.
