Today we're extremely proud to announce Dan "ViBE" Scherlong will be joining our family!
We have known this for a little while now, Dan is a good friend of a lot of us in ROOT Gaming as well as a fantastic and an incredibly talented player.
we first set eyes on ViBE in the beta, where he came out of nowhere and showed his incredibly high apm was accompanied by a brilliant brain! unfortunately for us, when we decided to pick him up, sixjax had already contracted him and we got left without a ViBE.
Today ViBE finally joins ROOT!!!!
Danny streams very often, lately he's been playing D3 like everyone else but this doesn't mean that he wont go back to sc2 soon, so please support him and show him we love him by tuning into his stream!
Although there isnt any doubt that ViBE is one of the best players in NA, I believe he still has plenty of unrealized potential and at ROOT I think we can help him become absolutely, invincible.
WELCOME DANNY! <3
|
Woot! Good luck to ViBE and ROOT!
|
|
|
Sick pick up. ROOT new top-tier foreign team?
|
^___^
Vibe has been a favourite player of mine for a while now
|
Awesome! Looking forward to seeing him play
|
|
Welcome to ROOT ViBE!! You're with the best so make the best out if it!!

VIBE FIGHTING! ROOTGAMING FIGHTING!
User was warned for this post

|
Welcome and congrats ViBE!! <3
|
I said it in all the other threads with root. GO TEAM ROOT!
|
Haha i looked over at the featured streamers, and I see, ROOTViBE. And i am bamboozled, but then I see this thread. Cool story I know.
Big Congrats to vibe and the ROOT guys, nice pick up.
|
Congratulations to ROOT and ViBE!
|
i love the banner personally, gl in root vibe
|
|
sick, vibe fits perfectly with the team
|
Great pick-up for ROOT. Congrats to both parties, I think you're a great fit for each other. Can't wait to see what else the new ROOT regime has in store for us!
|
That's a really good pick-up for ROOT, ViBE has been beasting it up lately.
|
sick, this tteam is going to be awesome
|
Wow, that's awesome. ViBE is a very great and underrated player so I'm really glad he's finding a team. (Especially ROOT lawl I love ROOT)
|
|
a great addition to their d3 roster.
|
ezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz congrats root and dan :D
|
YAY :D Congrats on the pick-up <3
|
|
vibe is pretty great, good work!
|
Congrats vibe, and congrats to ROOT for existing again :D
|
|
vibe so gud =D gj root congrats
|
Whoot! Been watching vibe since the sixjax days NA top 6 GM!! =p Gl vibe
|
Awesome news for everyone. Vibe was too good to be teamless for too long, and Root is probably one of the best places where he could possibly end up.
|
Assimilation successful! Gratz on bringing in another great Zerg to your team. ROOT's all-star line up really makes me excited, ROOT4ROOT!!
|
I believe ROOT has some of the best players in NA out there Good luck to all of you!
|
Ahahaha, congrats, def expected this when I saw ROOT reform although I have to say I was kinda sad to not see him on initial roster >.> wp sirs. GL ViBE! Really excited to see how they do in TAC
|
Badass, I love ViBE, his stream kicks ass if any of you guys like commentary during play. Check him out!
|
It's cool that almost all the entertaining players are on the same team.
|
Vibe's been beasting lately, beat both Ganzi and Rain in NASL

No one cares. This is childish and doesn't belong on TL.
Grats to ViBE. Love his stream.
|
|
This is a good pickup.
Exactly what ROOT needed to start getting their foot back into the door.
|
Vibe has been a very powerful Zerg, and has been pretty underrated. This is an excellent pick up for ROOT. Congratulations and good luck to ROOT and Vibe!
|
|
|
Sweet, grats to ROOT and Vibe! really nice to see ROOT already going out and getting a great player to add to their roster.
|
Congrats! Encountered ViBE on the ladder once on EU and had a chat with him after the game. Great guy, extremely mannered. Good luck to him.
|
Nice! I was wondering where ViBE would end up... glad to see he's joining Root, even more reason to support you guys ^_^
|
|
I don't know how you couldn't like this team.
|
im confused.. who else is on the new root roster?
|
ROOT's doing it again, quickly making themselves a sick NA team. Congrats!
|
Hell yes! I've been waiting for Vibe to get picked up by somebody! It's kickass that it's by ROOT!
|
So many Zergs on ROOT now! Still, root 4 ROOT, glhf ViBE!
|
Root is back bitches . Now all WE need is to restore the old vile Root Rivalry ^^ except with DdoRo as the darth Vader of the series lol
|
Awwww yeah! This is epic! They are ging to be like the band of underrated brothers who start tearing shit up and people will be like waaaaahh?
|
Congrats!! Root best team in da world.
|
Can't wait for everyone to finish D3 on normal and shift focus back to SC2 (including myself) Love too see root back!!!
|
Welcome Vibe :-D Liking Root's moves
|
watched some of his d3 stream, pretty good at d3 as well ;D
|
Vibe has been teamless for too long. GOOD LUCK!!~
|
This is some of the best news ive heard since yesterday when root was announced. Go vibe!
|
ROOTVibe sounds so good man

Maybe there will be a ROOT Quantic rivalry, but considering how Destiny was a part of Quantic and seems to have a lot of respect for that organization, a ROOT Quantic rivalry seems unlikely.
|
Congrats, you needed this break!
|
Congrats. Sick first pickup =] I hope there's more!
|
This really is the beginning of something cool, I hope this team performs to their potential because they will seriously contend for a top 3 foreign team spot with teams like coL, EG, Quantic, and fnatic.

There you used to be an old ROOT/EG "rivalry" but it was sort of one-sided in ROOT's favor, I remember them 4-0'ing EG in the Master's Cup before disbanding. EG has gotten some heavy talent since then though.
For now, baby steps. ROOT can slowly climb it's way back up no problem and Vibe is a great addition.
|
Let's go ROOT! please get some nice corporate sponsors, and win some nice events, and become a top tier team! that'd be pretty cool.
|
Was crossing my fingers for this. Now it's reality! Vibe is one of my favorite zergs to watch and now he's on my favorite team.
|

Sick! I love Vibe. Has an awesome stream with great commentary.
|
I like this, a good edition to the newly reformed ROOT
|
gl vibe cheering for you in nasl!
|
|
congratulations to vibe/root gl guys
|
This news is almost as cool as Toonami coming back. ;D
|
I remember when Root originally ended, Catz said their goal when they started Root was to be the best team in America. Is that still your goal, or do you feel there are greater heights to be reached?
|
|
yeaaaaaaa!! soooo awesome =).

No he has not its been less than 2weeks that he has been teamless. he was a former member of ItsGosu

Awesome, congratulations ViBE.
|
Oh wow, nice pick up! Goodness, this lineup is starting to get sick!
|
So its has come to this...don't know much about him.
|
GL Vibe. Nice pickup ROOT.
|
Gratz to RootViBE!! Root's already getting a sick lineup O.o
Glad to they picked him up tho, feels right to have him in the team. And he's definitely one of my favourite player since beta, guy has so much potential.
Edit: typo
|
Nice pickup! Shows that ROOT is taking this seriously! GZ!
|
ROOT, please get some apparel made. I want to give you money.
♥
|
ROOT4ROOT!
I was hoping he would be the pickup! Gratz!
|
...and ROOT continues to rebuild. I wonder how it's going to end up once it finishes reforming.
|
Dantastic pickup.
Silly iPhone. That was actually unintentional.
|
So easy to root for such a vibrant team!
|
Very very glad for Vibe, hes always been one of my favorite zerg
|
Congrats to ViBE, he's a really talented player. With more pickups, I'm starting to have higher expectations towards the future of ROOT.

Yeah, they won't win any major tournaments, at least not as presently constructed. They are kind of the NA All-Star team though. I remember the Winter Arena NA qualifier was nearly all ex-ROOT players.
|
Grats VIBE!!
And nice pick up for Root. Catz always has a sick eye for talent. =D
|
Nice, can't wait to see this.
|
Vibe is just one of the most mechanically sound and fastest multitasker in the game, 300 EAPM so sickest pick-up, probably one of the most talented players out there... I would give a lot to see a showmatch between Vibe and Dongraegu, to finally see who has the title of fastest Zerg player in the world, man that would be dope!

Just watch vibe's first person stream, then watch watch DRG's, DRG is a lot faster ^^.
|
Vibe seems like a really good fit for Root.
Come to think of it though, I haven't seen a lot of these players since around early last year. It'll be interesting to see how they all do!
|
great pickup for ROOT
|
Forgive me for asking, but I've been without internet for a while...wasn't Root disbanded? Like, almost a year ago?

At their current rate of expansion, they will get a new guy every day, with a roster like that, how can they not start winning stuff?
|
nice pickup, vibe is a good player
|
ok now root looking scarey xD

root knows the deal... cant wait for the sickness

Just watch vibe's first person stream, then watch watch DRG's, DRG is a lot faster ^^. Haha yeah. ViBE isn't strong mechanically at all. And there is no way in fucking hell he has 300 EAPM. Even BW zergs doesn't get up in that high EAPM and I doubt some foreigner semi pro does it in SC2. He may have 300 apm but that is nothing impressive and when you watch ViBE you can see that most of it is just spam and useless actions.
Being able to do the spacebar-queen-trick so your apm skyrockets and your screen bounce around like I don't know doesn't equal good mechanics or fastest multitasking. ._.
Cool that ROOT is building up a lineup again tho. gl dodz
EDIT: Looked up some replays of ViBE in sc2gears and he avarages 145 EAPM with 400 apm. He had over 300 micro apm. Thats alot of apm from his queen trick and just mouse click spamming. BW zergs and just fast SC2 zergs has over 200 EAPM with 300-500 apm. So ViBE is noway near being one of the most mechanically and fastest multitaskers in the game.

OH MY GOD YES
One of my favorite players on my favorite team, so awesome, congrats vibe!
|
|
Yes!!! Vibe is the man, and I was sad to see he didn't have a team. Good luck to Vibe and ROOT! :D
Now somehow pick up DDE!
|
Yay, any pick-up for ROOT makes me happy

Nice to see the ROOT making their move! Good luck to both for the future! I hope to see the time when "ROOTs In Korea" comes!
|
Root is definitely looking good!
Mad props to the boys, hopefully you start raking in the sponsors
Anyone know of any organisation that sponsors home grown talent?
|
|
Vibe is like one of a few players I watch that aren't ROOT. Sweet!
|
I hate to say it, but to be completely honest, this means absolutely nothing because ViBE has zero results, and isn't actually a good player ... so he'll be placing top 64 at MLGs under another team name? I'm sorry, but he's an amateur player, essentially.
|
|
|
Awesome pickup ROOT and Catz :D
|
My favorite player just joined my favorite team. I am in ecstacy. ViBE FIGHTING!

Nice pickup ROOT! Good luck ViBE!
|
Oh cool! Didn't see this coming but glad to see that vibe found a good home. Congrats to both parties!
|
ROOT have this special talent for getting the players I like, still want Chad Motherf****ing Jones! back though...1 year :/.
|
Congrats ViBE! Great pickup for for ROOT for sure!
|
Great fit for ROOT. Hoooooly shit I am so excited you guys are back.

Catz, the link in your signature needs to be updated!

Congratulations! I hope he improves and succeeds well!

A perfect fit for the team actually! Go Root!

ROOT really starting to fill out and look good. Can't wait to see some results over the next year or so.

Wow... ROOT is back and crazier than ever. There must be more in the pipeline if they are going around adding talent like ViBE!
|
|
One of my favourite players joining one of my favourite teams! Not that I had anything against sixjax.. I'll enjoy seeing ROOTViBE stream a little bit more from now on.

<3 ViBE
Good news

Perfect pickup guys. Vibe is a beast in the making!

congrats but i gotta say i'm a little confused here: didnt ROOT gaming break up and most of the players went to coL?? since when is ROOT gaming 'online' again? or is it another root gaming?

Next thing I know will be qxc rejoins them and ROOT wins GSTL.
Would be so sick :D

Root did indeed break up, with most players being acquired by coL, but now that their contracts with coL have expired, as well as other former members of Root being teamless (SLush, KiWiKaKi from ReIGN and Destiny from Quantic), they decided to reunite, and give Root Gaming another try. So basically, it is the same Root Gaming.
|
Yes! ViBE is probably my favourite NA player. This incarnation of ROOT looks mighty fine! Congrats!
|
Great news. Congrats to ROOT and ViBE!
|
SCHERLONG FIGHTING ~~ \ o /

i like vibe, hope to see him owning up some big events
|
He played really good in NASL last week, solid pickup.
Go ROOT

why do players think that being good in NA is good enough? Can Americans/NA players please step up their game and prove that they can compete with the koreans @MLG, @IPL, @Blizzcon. I am sick of hearing koreans are better yadadada...one of the best in NA means nothing anymore. Vibe has had years to become more than just the best in NA. Common ROOT, all your players are in the same boat: great personalities with underwhelming results on the professional scene.

U don't actually think a team without sponsors or money can sign players of the highest caliber right?

sorry for taking a while to put up a message but d3 has consumed all my time the last couple days, I'm really looking forward to being an official root member and I have always wanted to pursue this but the times never matched up well... but now they do! I'm excited for what is to come with root.

They're friends. You're not going to replace friends with random people just because they can't consistently perform on an absolute top level. And you're most certainly not going to replace them because random people on forums think they're not (or can't be) good enough. Just follow another team instead. -_-
Besides, the "great personalities" thing is overstated. Destiny and CatZ are what the SC2 community would call "personalities" nowadays (and even that is mostly only while streaming). All the other members are fairly quiet/withdrawn (including ViBE now).

Horrible pickup. This opinion has nothing to do with the fact that vibe eliminated me out of one of the TSL3 TLOpens and stopping me from winning the whole starleague.
Cause that's what would have happened.

That was so long ago...I think that's his point. Used to it might have meant something to be the best NA player but the Korean gap isn't as close as it used to be if you look at performances within the last 6 months especially. I don't think the ROOT players are going to compete at that level but the fact is, there aren't many players in NA who have a real shot at going deep in those tournaments on a consistent basis.
|
it doesnt matter if they can or cannot compete. Root has no sponsors, so signing players is great but at the end of the day you're still = to little johnny's clanX. a bunch of ametures wishing they could make a living playing a game.

Since when do we consider top GM level players "amateurs"? Not to mention they have one of the bigest personality's under the banner like CatZ,Destiny and kickass caster like Rotterdam.So i don't think it will take long before they find a sponsor.(sponsor's im hoping for).Winning tournaments isn't everything you know?!

Verne, wrong, we're a bunch of good friends that already make money well over the average of a progamer by playing starcraft 2 therefore --> a bunch of progamers who are all good friends and want to recreate the team enviroment we had before when we were considered hands down the best team in NA, we want to have fun, we want the community support, and of course we want sponsors, cause not everyone of our members will be making as much as Destiny makes, and they are fantastic players we want to keep happy, so we're working on numbers and budgets and a sponsorship deck and an AWESOME website, everything we need to approach sponsors in a successful manner! so im really sorry, im sure you're a really smart person and all that, but you couldn't be more wrong, we are progamers who already make a good living playing a game, we CAN and will compete, and we would destroy the living hell out of johnny's clanX.

ROOT's hoggin' up all the entertaining casters. ;P Anybody with as much commentary as the likes of Destiny and ViBE (the two that I've really spent any time watching) have my support. ROOT4ROOT.
