Yoan "ToD" Merlo will be returning to France after being unsuccessful in obtaining a Visa. Due to ROOT's limited operations in Europe, we have agreed to release ToD as a free agent.
ToD's statement:
+ Show Spoiler +It's been a pleasure playing for ROOT. I've played with the team for around 3 months, but due to lack of a visa i'm returning to France where ROOT cannot support me as much. I still want to attend EU tournaments but ROOT is mainly focused on US market, so we mutually decided to go our on ways, on good terms of course. My time in ROOT has probably been my happiest playing SC2, and I wish them all the best of luck. Special thanks to CatZ and ROOT for giving me a great team while I was in the US. I'll continue to be friends and "hang out" with them online and on skype so to speak. I look forward to meeting them again at the tournaments in the future.
ToD leaves with a parting gift: He says he will continue to use his Das to tear it up in EU. Who will replace him?

Root must have the fastest changing roster in SC2 at the moment. I will be interested to see who they have their sights set on with the recent Quantic shenanigans.
|
Big shame D: I hope he stays tiptop in France.

This really sucks, ToD is one of my favorite players and root one of my favorite teams. Hope he finds a new team soon. Good luck!

Sad news! :/
Why no visa? I really like ToD and ROOT, so it just fit so good! 
|
Can't ROOT sponsor him for a Visa?

I had always hoped to see more out of him, instead he just trained in Korea and stayed pretty low key

His Visa troubles need not necessarily be the result of lacking financials.
Getting a (long term) US Visa is not that easy, there are many potential reasons why one would be denied one.

Awww I'm sad ToD couldnt stay
Gl hf ToD!
