People often talk about professionalism in e-sports and this is one of the situations which could have been handled better. I’m a qxc fan and I fully understand the need for financial support and his idea about going to Korea (yes, there is less potential money than in the USA/Europe but first you have to get better and Korean ladder should help him a lot).

He also said there will be some sort of explanation. The problem is that we don’t really know what’s the situation between him and the ROOT. When something like this happens it would be great if there were announcements from both involved parties. Right now people are arguing, trying to figure out the reasons and spinning theories.

I hope ROOT members knew about it but people can get really judgemental about anything happening in the SC2 community. So the moral is, post a short explanation right with the announcement and have an agreement that the other involved parties do the same. Less drama, less gossip.

Anyway, sometimes it's better to split if you don't have the same objectives, so best of luck to qxc, FXO and ROOT.

I suggest you read the whole thread and find Catz post. QXC did handle this professionally and told ROOT a little while ago he would be searching for a new team that could support him financially with wanting to play in Korea. Its part of the reason they signed ROOT Kitty.

See? This is how people communicate here. You have to understand that people react, people quote others, but there is very little official information. I wasn’t accusing anyone, and again, I’m a qxc fan. The problem is when you see one side putting up an official announcement and the other doesn’t. Look at the posts before CatZ post.
You don’t have to attack me for not reading all the pages in this thread, I shoudn’t have to. All this arguing could be avoided in future situations.

Example? inControl and Total Biscuit trashtalk. It’s their business. If you have a problem with someone, you talk to them personally and then issue a statement, not send messages to each other by a word of mouth.

I didn't attack you, I just made a suggestion. It is incredibly frustrating to read posts that shouldn't be made if people would read entire threads.

Actually you accused all parties of being unprofessional when none of them are. FXOpen repeatedly said that he didn't poach QXC and then Catz came in and explained ROOT's side. I fail to see the problem here. Quite frankly, no one outside of ROOT and FXO is owed an explanation. All that is needed to know if that QXC is on a new team, thats what this official announcement has told us. Whether ROOT, FXO, or QXC want to tell us more is entirely up to them.

Again, this is the problem. The information is in a reply on the 10th page of a thread. I said it could have been handled better and that's true. This a FXO thread and people kept arguing about the reasons, if it was a right decision and if they knew.

I know they don't owe us anything. All I'm saying is that this forum is full of trash talk and everyone evidently hates it. So the clearer you are with you announcement the less space for imagination and theories. Searching through hundreds of pages just to find the actual information, this could improve. And since they probably care about the forums and the community I'd guess they aren't exactly happy with the state of the forums. So I'm contributing, simple as that.

Exatly what did happen to ROOT.qxc I'm sorry to be the one to say this but it just seems like Fxo is just pouching well establised players from other teams by basically offering them more money and it says alot for loyalty from these players mainly they have none. It's kind of sad when your buying yourself a name theirs alot of really good players out their that could be some of the best if they had the luxury of not having a full time job/sponsors why not develop them instead?? Yes we know your team got money but this really is doing nothing for your reputation.

Welcome to professional sports.

it's exciting to see such roster changes, players come and go. I wish QXC the best and hope he doesn't regret this move. This proves that the e-Sports scene is getting more and more competitive and getting close to be like the MLB & NHL, with contracts, trades etc... are we gonna see a SC2 draft ? O_O More names, more teams are coming out, keep going, get big names sponsors involved and we might get a scene similar to the korean one here.

cheers~!

WOW did not expect QXC actually gasped when I read the article. Can't wait for him to stream again under FXOQxc, maybe put the little bull fighting the bear (awesome btw) logo as his background like he did for that weird looking root.
