Today, we're happy to announce that Ryan "State" Visbeck has joined ROOT Gaming, and will be living in the ROOT House in California. You can expect him to be playing and streaming from the team house immediately.


State will still remain being personally sponsored by GameFront, and there's some interviews on GF with some great insight of CatZ and State.
Excerpt:
ROOT Gaming has changed a lot since it was reformed two years ago. What is your overall vision for ROOT? Where do you see ROOT in another two years?

We are a lot more organized than we were previously. The first run ROOT had was a great one, but as owners of the team, we had little clue about what to do, and this is a difficult industry to get informed about. This time around, we got more people involved to cover different areas of the team on the management side.

Gratz to ROOT and State!
