According to his Twitter, Nathanias is teamless.

Nathan Fabrikant ‏@nathaniastv 2 h

For business/career-related reasons, I must announce my departure from ROOT gaming. Love the team/players, but I need a new direction atm.

Its more like a team needs caster (or any other famous person that brings viewers), ability to play game good matters maybe in kespa teams.

I mean I don't think people really associated Nathanias with the team. So I don't see this being a big deal for either party. Plus casters don't really need to be on teams

Probably because he wouldn't shave that awfulness off his chin.

Just Kidding, good luck to him! I like his casting a lot.

Wasn't Nathanias' career just starting to take off though? With DH & everything going on.

GL to both parties

I highly doubt anyone on ROOT is making a salary and those that may aren't making more than minimum wage or are fueled on easy credit. They have no financial sponsors and fail to do any media exposure.

Congrats to Nathanias for the smart move.

anyways, lets hope he gets picked up by someone who can offer him a decent living.

edit: not that ROOT is a bad team, I mean its the best NA has to offer atm. I just hope Nathanias left because he had another offer on the table.

I like this imagery so much that this is now how I will always picture ROOT paying for anything, just through catz's masterful calender sales pitches.

I hope that ROOT get some real content going soon from their house. I know just how hard it is to get the time, have e decent end product but I think that's needed since we do not see anything come out from ROOT. I would lov to get to know the players more. Weekly/monthly updates on progress. Rutines of the house, how the players enjoy it there. Give us some sweet content!

On topic... (fail by me)
I guess its only a natural move by Nathanias since other partners, employee etc contacts you. Gotta take every chance you can to make it!
You will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not
