(Wiki)FXOpen e-Sports

After announcing team FXOpen e-Sports in December of 2010 the roster has continued to grow, many FXOpen events have run, and many announcements have been made. Now, finally, a full roster for the team has been reached for tournament and practice purposes. Some players are tried and true veterans on StarCraft 2, winning events since as early as beta, while some players are people who have proven their worth in practice or put in the hard work to be a future superstar. Support FXO and follow our players SLoG, QXC, mOoNan, Sheth and OpTiKzErO at MLG Dallas!



The New Players

[image loading] Kevin “FXOqxc” Riley – QXC's list of StarCraft 2 achievements is so comprehensive that it is hard to summarise in one paragraph. One glance at his Liquipedia page confirms that he comes with a SC2 resume rivalled by very few players, and for a relatively unknown BW player this American Terran was hard to go past when filling out the roster. Most recently you can catch him the TSL3.

[image loading] Andrew “FXOSLoG” An – The second Korean-turn-American From NYC to join FXO is well known BW player SLoG. He played BW in the [pG] ex pro team and featured in the WCG USA finals on several occasions. Aside from his impressive Brood War resume, SLoG was picked up by the team as a hard worker with a lot of potential. While SLoG had to put an end to his progaming career during highschool he is coming back to SC2 to achieve his dream of playing StarCraft professionally at the highest level.

[image loading] Daryl ” FXOiceiceice” Koh Pei Xiang – Once a DotA player, iceiceice was a prominent figure in the Singaporean, Asian, and Global scene and won many tournaments. Notable events in DotA that iceiceice won are ESWC Paris and CAPL, amongst many others. After switching to StarCraft 2 he was immediately recognised as one of the best Singaporean players and second best Zerg in SEA to mOOnGLaDe. Placing 2nd in the Blizzard SEA Invitational and securing a place in Blizzcon stands as his proudest SC2 moment. Despite shorter practice hours due to his enlistment, ice is back and terrorising the Singaporean StarCraft scene with a new found motivation to once again be the best.

[image loading] Anthony “FXOAnthony” Accettone – Anthony used to play BW, achieving a B- high on iCCup, and was very active in the SC2 beta. He just got back into the game a couple of weeks ago with the drive to become one of the best competitive players.

[image loading] Bradley “FXOtgun” Seymour – FXOtgun impressed FXOpen management from the start after putting in huge effort in every practice session, often practicing for 10 hours a day without having to be asked. Having previously played CS1.6 he never really got into the professional scene as he was too young to attend LANs at the time. However, the experience paid off as many of the skills used in calling and captaining competitive CS teams were carried over to his SC2 venture. While the Sydney-based Zerg has no breakout tournament results yet the improvement is there and with the ability to now attend LAN events he kicks off what will hopefully be a successful SC2 career with an appearance at the Sydney NRG LAN.

NOOO WHY qxc leaving Root?!?!?!?
Hope he does well here...
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

Qxc tweeted earlier about this but didn't mention which team. I was kind of thinking it would be FXO. I wonder what prompted the change. Maybe the lack of root's sponsors.

Surprised by QXC leaving ROOT. Such a tight team, but FXO must've offered him one hell of a deal. GL to QXC in FXO. Congrats to FXO for the new additions to the team. Looking forward to epic games from them.

Cheers.

Wow, nice pickups, FXO is definitely starting to shape up as a real power, I hope to see them in the team leagues.

Given qxc's ambitions to go to Korea, ROOT not having the sponsorship level of most other teams, and FXO's willingness to send players to Korea, Europe, and establishing a team house, this isn't too surprising. It seems like a good fit for both parties.

I saw this on reddit and laughed, I'm really confused how saying "X FOR XTREME" can mean FXO.

Regardless, it's good to have everyone on the team.

Holy shit! qxc!?!? FXO is just blowing my mind more and more every week. And after commentating a whole night of tgun's games in the SEA StarLeague Code A qualifiers earlier this week, I have to say I'm VERY impressed with his play. Very confident, very stylish and very powerful. He showed me so many new things I never thought I'd see from a Zerg.

GO FXO! <3

If you read one of catz interviews a couple months ago he explains why root doesn't have any sponsors.

I mean in root QXC (as far as I know) had to pay for mlg and his trip there. With FXO he doesn't have to pay anything (this is going by how they said in their starting how expect to see all fxo players at mlg events). And they pay a monthly salary (Del said this in a thread I believe the TSL first team to get salary or something).

So I don't know why people are so surprised that sheth and qxc left to join a good team that well send them to events. Again Grats to qxc and don't know anything of the other players haven't really heard of them or seen them in tournaments but grats on joining such a good team ^_^. Hope to see you guys in SGL/scleague and stuff!

-_- It's wasn't so hard to figure it out.

"And the quest for a new team finally comes to a close" = I left ROOT. "Announcement coming soon to a website near you" = I found a new team, news coming soon on TL.net. Rated X for XTREMELY AWESOME & SEXY = hint to what the next team is. The firs thing that came to mind with the X was f-X-O, considering it's one of few teams that has X in it's name. Just a lucky guess. Had he said anything else, I would not have never guessed FXO.

Go qxc! He will have the life of a progamer now for sure. As much as I love ROOT (favorite team) they still have the likes of monster Minigun and ever consistent KiWiKaKi. qxc will fit much better at FXO. I think this move will be quite similar to ROOT.Sheth becoming FXOSheth as well. I must say being a fan of Sheth since Beta, he has become exponentially better since joining FXO. Hopefully qxc follows the same trend and becomes NASL season 3 champion.

along with that, qxc has made it quite clear that he plans on going to korea eventually. fxo seems set up to transition towards korea / the international community where as root is more stationed in usa/north america for financial reasons.

heres to hoping to see more of qxc in the international scene and eventually ripping up koreans in the gsl and whatnot. qxc fighting!

This is a fun thread, all this drama.

Let me put things into light for some people.

I have had alot of people approach me lately to join our team, mostly because they wish to participate abroad, but also because of a different training environment.

If you look at players like tgun and anthony, they have been on the team for approximately 1 week, and from what I can see have improved about 500%. This is due to the environment that training happens.

The goal is growth, not to be the best of the best of the best today

Thank you to all those who complimented our new roster its truely appreciated.

Sad to see qxc leave root. But, FXO just got absolutely legit. Previously they only had a few really good players, now they havea full team's worth.

congrats to the players, hope you like FXO

Sad to see qxc leaving ROOT behind, as I think they were shaping up to be one of the more interesting teams, and qxc's style was a really good addition. Oh well, FXO is lucky to get him

Really excited to have these players join us. It will definetly help out at practice. Just like Josh (FXOpen) said we want players who can help us practice to improve constantly. I'm really really excited about Slog and QXC and I'm sure I'll be getting more and more excited about players like tgun and anthony as I've already played a few games with them and I can definetly see the potential!

Hopefully everyone will see that FXO is trying its best to help players and promote growth in the community. We now have a full B team, w00t! Now by the transitive property... FXO??? you might have heard of us...
Team LiquidUnderneath it all they were really quite nice. They just got screwed up. Mostly by stuff that wasn't entirely their fault.

I saw this on reddit and laughed, I'm really confused how saying "X FOR XTREME" can mean FXO.

Regardless, it's good to have everyone on the team.

Yeah, I figured that something would be coming from ROOT and was bracing ever since I saw the tweet. ROOT is great, but players have to be able to think about themselves and their finances a bit. GL, qxc!

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.

well altho I like FXO guys... I think that QXC did a wrong move. As soon as ROOT will get some sponsors (which they're bound to...) I think he will regret his decision !!

but eh!! congratz to FXO!!!

They won't.

Read http://www.complexitygaming.com/news/2330/#

Their not going for sponsors (I mean do you really think they haven't been contacted by anyone? ). Just read that and you'll see Root's not going to get any sponsors because they want to try and make their own product and do it that way.

Good move by qxc. Was wondering when he would move
Curious if they approached slush or if he has expressed interest in moving teams. A slush/ glade/ sheth lineup would be awesome as hell

iceiceice from kingsurf (with the legendary Yameteh) and Zenith?!? HOLY SHIT!! I remember he played support too! mostly THC ( Twin headed dragon). This is all DotA BTW.

Makes sense QXC moved to FXO since ROOT isn't actually sponsored by a big name. ROOT players have to pay for their own flights too. Where as FXO doesn't

Really sad and disappointed in qxc but you cant realistically expect top players to stay on a team where they have to pay their own way to tournaments. I just hope kiwi is far-sighted enough to stay.

I would also like to add that FXO hasn't really joined any team leagues which QXC does play for ROOT. This is a big let down for the sc2 community, I hope FXO doesn't just grab players but actually use them in tournaments, especially team leagues.

Best of luck QXC and all of the new players! You can't blame QXC for leaving ROOT, even when they were a tight knit team. When you have to pay out of pocket to travel to tournaments, it has to suck, so QXC probably did what was most reasonable for him.

You aren't understanding what Catz is saying. What he is saying is they want to build ROOT to be a professional gaming organization, like SK, fnatic, Evil Geniuses or many of the other teams. They have gotten offers from these teams, and others, to join but would rather start their own thing. The difference being sponsors(eg. Intel, AMD, Alienware, etc. etc.) and sponsored (Fnatic,SK,Startale, etc. etc.) So yes, ROOT do want sponsors.

I can assure you this isn't a "poaching incident". I have been a huge fan of qxc since the beta and he is actually the player that got me into the pro SC2 scene. In all his interviews and statements there are two things qxc regularly states, 1) he wants to be a progamer of the highest caliber and 2) if he wants to do something he becomes extremely motivated and will stop at nothing until he accomplishes that. qxc graduates in the spring with his degree. Unfortunately, ROOT doesn't have the funds (due to no sponsor) to promote worldwide tournament competition and travel. qxc personally wanted a team that could support him as a progamer. This is nothing bad on ROOT at all but qxc wanted to participate in world events and go to Korea. He couldn't do this under ROOT but he can do this under FXO. The man made the perfectly logical decision in his growth as a progamer and will end up being better for it. I am excited for FXOqxc. Plus it is easier to type.

while i'm glad qxc is looking for better opportunities for himself as a progamer...this makes me so sad for ROOT. not just because they are losing qxc but because it makes the word loyalty seem so fragile now. i will forever support ROOT and the players they mold. i just hope they catch some sort of break in the sponsorship department soon.

The roster wasn't full and with GLaDe in Korea and a pretty tight practice schedule on top of smaller events it wasn't really an option to join a huge number of team leagues. We'd have to use the same four players in each one and it would get tiring - expect to see more of a presence in team leagues from now on though!

Sad to see qxc leave root, but not surprising as he recently said in his TSL interview that timezones make playing with and communicating with his team pretty impossible. On top of that, FXO has the resources to field him in global tournaments and support him financially (as I understand).

qxc still one of my favorite players and I think this is opening a lot of doors for him. qxc hwaiting!~~

Sheth and Moonglade are pretty cool too. >.>

Unpopular opinion, inc.

This team will not excel. None of these players have accomplished anything, and when it comes to it, I've lost faith in their abilities to be one of SC2's greats. Most (all but top 3) I've never heard of. I think I remember moonglade from WC3 and he was nothing too special.

QXC, you've played some of the most entertaining games I've seen and you're the one they should blame for blue flame hellions. I defy you to find a Zerg 6 months ago who didn't hate properly used helions, and ~2.5x damage (?!?! i still can't believe blizz chose to have such an upgrade) on your drones and lings, but thanked god they came along sooo much less wtf. But you knew. Still, you haven't performed in your major tournaments and I think you might not have that quality. Many other pro-athletes share this syndrome. Lebron James, yo.

Sheth - your intro to Zerg post was what got me into understanding the Zerg engine. I'm in the lower master league, and I've gotten there on the Zerg fundamentals learned reading your guide. But like, you sign up for tournaments and don't come (I heard in an MLG cast or something, correct me if I'm wrong) and I think you're just really skilled but don't give a shit - Carmelo Anthony. You're never gonna get your shit together enough to win anything big: so much wasted talent.

I'd bet 3 figures on many pro gamers. I wouldn't on you guys.

You are aiming at the area where there are like 10 000 people (maybe a little bit more, but... some of the most desolate spots on the planet).

Great to see FXO grow. I don't see why people complain on QXC shifting over, people go from "small, idealistic, grassroots " teams to professional teams with proper backing all the time in other sports. If you want to be the best you have to have the finances so you can practice full time to be the best.

don't listen to the vocal minority, most of us know you're doing a great job for the players, the team, and the community. besides, it was pretty obvious what qxc's intentions were. he so does love to scan the islands.

Holy Crap lol
As far as I understand it, FXO is a reasonably new team, after seeing the improvements in Sheth's play its pretty safe to assume that they have a very good practice environment, something that these relative unknowns will thrive in.
+ Show Spoiler +
I'm not sure if you know of a team called SlayerS, but they are full of relative unknowns too, but with the right tutelage and practice they overcame IM with some of the best SC2 games ive seen, with the game this young you cant really judge players based on popularity


I for one am eager to see how this choice will affect QXC as a player, and where he will take FXO as a team. QXC fighting!

Who are you to judge them ?


As they're professional esports athletes, having both received money through winning tournaments, and I, as a dedicated patron to esports along with everyone on this site who matters, I'm allowed to judge their games however I want. It's the same principle that overrules every pro sports league, and why it's allowed for them to be paid so much.

Even if you did "poach" him, I don't see how that's a bad thing since you're just making things better for him; otherwise he wouldn't accept, right?

right....

Phay, you are entirely entitled to your opinion...

But you should check out moonglade, perhaps after a few weeks of watching him play you will change your tune. Sheth is always going to be baller, and QXC is good as well. Slog is awesome, filthy is always improving, tgun, anthony and Ice are in development, in 3 months time I do not see you having the same opinion

I stand by my players most of all, and not just 'financially'.

woot woot! I think SLoG and Qxc are both awesome additions to your team! I don't know much about the others, but, I'm sure they're awesome too. Congrats to team + players.

Unpopular opinion, inc.

This team will not excel. None of these players have accomplished anything, and when it comes to it, I've lost faith in their abilities to be one of SC2's greats. Most (all but top 3) I've never heard of. I think I remember moonglade from WC3 and he was nothing too special.

QXC, you've played some of the most entertaining games I've seen and you're the one they should blame for blue flame hellions. I defy you to find a Zerg 6 months ago who didn't hate properly used helions, and ~2.5x damage (?!?! i still can't believe blizz chose to have such an upgrade) on your drones and lings, but thanked god they came along sooo much less wtf. But you knew. Still, you haven't performed in your major tournaments and I think you might not have that quality. Many other pro-athletes share this syndrome. Lebron James, yo.

Sheth - your intro to Zerg post was what got me into understanding the Zerg engine. I'm in the lower master league, and I've gotten there on the Zerg fundamentals learned reading your guide. But like, you sign up for tournaments and don't come (I heard in an MLG cast or something, correct me if I'm wrong) and I think you're just really skilled but don't give a shit - Carmelo Anthony. You're never gonna get your shit together enough to win anything big: so much wasted talent.

I'd bet 3 figures on many pro gamers. I wouldn't on you guys.

Who thought that + Show Spoiler +
SlayerS
would win GSTL2 after their + Show Spoiler +
miserable GSTL result.


It's all about creating a great training environment and the whole team will be better.

Wait, how was their first GSTL miserable? They were one game away from making the round of four. In such a small and competitive tournament I fail to see how that's miserable.

I hope qxc's happy, ROOTqxc is way more catchy anyway! Root just seems like so much more of a legitimate home-grown team of players working together to improve and not one of these international teams whose players don't even practice with each other because they're spread all over the world. I think qxc will be fine, and I'm sure this was a good move for him because he surely can't afford to keep paying for his own plane ticket all over the world.

I'm a bit butt-hurt. I'm not going to lie.
I love FXOmOOnGLaDe. Being from Australia, he is my only option as far as being patriotic goes. FXO also put together amazing tourneys that are always good to watch, however I feel for ROOT.

They have the same ideas as FXO (cultivate good players into GREAT players) but they don't have the same funds.
Its sad that money dictates The State of the Game (of life.)

Heres hoping that FXO offered Kevin a ticket to Korea, should he be accepted into the GomTV house. We've all seen what Korea has done to mOOnGLaDe in terms of helping out his play.

Looking for confirmation - As QXC was accepted into NASL under the tag "ROOT."
With their emphasis on team play (you must be on a team to play in NASL) as well as their "MAX 5 players per team) rule. Did this potentially cost a ROOT player a seat in the NASL?
If so, VERY BM, as I'm sure this would have been in the works before the announcement of NASL lists.

first of all, all this QQ-ING has got to be a joke right? I love root, don't get me wrong. I love Drewbie, catz and destinybro.

but qxc wants to go to Korea and fxo is willing to extend their hand to him.

if you are true Kevin lennon's fans, you should stop saying all this bs about loyalty. its not like he took 1000$ from root and quit straight away to another team after that. he has also not said a single bad thing about root at all and they are probAbly still friends.

root has their own plans now with fenix etc living with drewbie and catz.

qxc has chosen a different path. let's support him.


as for the guy a few posts above qq-ing and crictising moonglade, suck a banana. he owns you any day .

Kelly, you should be a bit more mindful, in my opinion. For more your own sake than anyone elses.
As you're close to Glade, etc, people may take the things you say as the gospel truth.
What I could MISTAKE from your post is....
FXO are sending Kevin to Korea. ROOT players are joining fnaticMSI, or fenix is joining ROOT, and blah blah blah.
I know it sucks for you... I love to speculate more than anyone else! but whn you speculate, it may hold more weight than it should!

A decent amount of what kelly is saying is either fact or will/should soon become fact. Fenix is reported to be moving in with Catz/drewbie and the TT1 in the Root/Fnatic house after MLG (as mentioned in the various blogs/threads on that house). She didn't really say that fnatic players will join ROOT or vice versa. FXO sending qxc to korea is something that was speculated on by a lot of people in the thread, though I don't know if that's fact or not, so I suppose it's kind of fair to call her out on that, except the entire thread has that speculation.

Congrats to FXO on expanding their team! I hope to see them do well in the various clanleagues.

Best. Post. Ever.

Good for QXC. I'm kinda sad to see him leave ROOT, but he has bigger aspirations that he can't really achieve with them. FXO gives him such a great opportunity. He is a damn good player and I can see him doing extremely well in Korea. Now get outta Spain so you can stream again. I miss it. Dude climbed to the top of the NA ladder with how many people messaging him constantly and answered them too.

Oh and one more thing

It looked to me like most people in the thread were just voicing their opinions, labeling everyone who doesn't agree with you as "qq-ers" is pretty immature. On top of that, I'm sure all of the players recruited own all of us in here, does that mean none of us can say anything negative?

Nice attitude you have there.

On topic; Hopefully qxc can pull together and start throwing down some wins. Always loved watching his stream before he left to Spain and it sucks seeing him down on himself all the time. None of us know the terms of acquisition regarding discussion, so it's kind of hard to accuse of poaching.

So epic to see more Australian players making it in the pro scene. There is a massive Starcraft community here so it is really exciting to see players from my home town push the limits on a ProGaming team!

Coming from no-names in other un-official threads, thats fine. But with Kelly being so close to mOOnGLaDe, who know how much she knows.... (see, speculation )
Following up with "different path" line is kind of saying
"TT1 and Fenix are following a path" rather than
"They're moving in to play some SC with some friends." - 2 different levels of seriousness imo.

Also.. Fairly confident TT1 is already there.
Anywho, lets not side-track this too far. Speculation has ruined many-a-great-thread!

Best of luck to FXO in the future. I hope they keep putting together the same standard of tourneys as they have done in the past.
Any news of the house in Malaysia/whereveritis that they were talking of? Would be pretty amazing if Glade, Sheth, QXC and the others all moved country for a gaming house! The cost of living in (wherever they mentioned) is kinda low too! Could be viable?

Oh man this seriously made my day so hard! Ever since the TSL poster, whenever I listen to Abbey Road I am like "Damn...qxc is gonna beat genius hands down...I mean have you heard I want you (she's so heavy)"

And very true about ROOT. Living with fenix and TT1 (pretty sure) they have a good thing going for them. I honestly think qxc just wanted to travel the world of tournaments and now he gets his chance. Plus, I just watched Sheth take out a few ROOT players and they were all obviously still very friendly towards each other. Say what you want about FXO but these guys are making progamer's dreams come true. You have to respect that.

Coming from no-names in other un-official threads, thats fine. But with Kelly being so close to mOOnGLaDe, who know how much she knows.... (see, speculation )
Following up with "different path" line is kind of saying
"TT1 and Fenix are following a path" rather than
"They're moving in to play some SC with some friends." - 2 different levels of seriousness imo.

Also.. Fairly confident TT1 is already there.
Anywho, lets not side-track this too far. Speculation has ruined many-a-great-thread!

Best of luck to FXO in the future. I hope they keep putting together the same standard of tourneys as they have done in the past.
Any news of the house in Malaysia/whereveritis that they were talking of? Would be pretty amazing if Glade, Sheth, QXC and the others all moved country for a gaming house! The cost of living in (wherever they mentioned) is kinda low too! Could be viable?


I would guess you are the only one reading into her statement in that way. but I could be wrong because I keep myself abreast of SC2 news and knew exactly what she was referring too.

if you are true Kevin lennon's fans, you should stop saying all this bs about loyalty. its not like he took 1000$ from root and quit straight away to another team after that. he has also not said a single bad thing about root at all and they are probAbly still friends.

root has their own plans now with fenix etc living with drewbie and catz.

qxc has chosen a different path. let's support him.


as for the guy a few posts above qq-ing and crictising moonglade, suck a banana. he owns you any day .

. You have to respect that.



True true... Respect is the most important factor in pro gaming, imo.
It is just truely a shame that due to their similarities, both being young, and full of fire to cultivate the next generation of pro gamers, ROOT and FXO seem to get into each others way

Damn, awesome pickups! I'm especially liking the (Z)iceiceice pickup, he's an absolute monster in SEA and I can't wait to see how that will translate in the international scene.

Great job FXO, you guys have definitely impressed me! By the way, what's the ETA on the website, I'm really looking forward it! <3

Kelly, you should be a bit more mindful, in my opinion. For more your own sake than anyone elses.
As you're close to Glade, etc, people may take the things you say as the gospel truth.
What I could MISTAKE from your post is....
FXO are sending Kevin to Korea. ROOT players are joining fnaticMSI, or fenix is joining ROOT, and blah blah blah.
I know it sucks for you... I love to speculate more than anyone else! but whn you speculate, it may hold more weight than it should!


A decent amount of what kelly is saying is either fact or will/should soon become fact. Fenix is reported to be moving in with Catz/drewbie and the TT1 in the Root/Fnatic house after MLG (as mentioned in the various blogs/threads on that house). She didn't really say that fnatic players will join ROOT or vice versa. FXO sending qxc to korea is something that was speculated on by a lot of people in the thread, though I don't know if that's fact or not, so I suppose it's kind of fair to call her out on that, except the entire thread has that speculation.

Congrats to FXO on expanding their team! I hope to see them do well in the various clanleagues.

look at the bright side. This signing by FXO is pretty much the reason ROOTPrincess was signed, and I think we have a lot to look forward to as he learns the game. He reminds me of ret a lot when he first came over to sc2, his knowledge of the sc2 units leads to some mistakes, but his macro and mechanics are so beastly he just brute forces past his mistakes.

well there is a difference between the two. Root for all intents and purposes is a clan where as FXO is a team. no sponsors, no salary / financial support for their players, no contract = amateur status. sponsors, salary/financial support, contracts = professional status. can't blame fxo for picking up individuals who wanted to make a living playing the game. i think root, in all fairness, wants to become a legitimate team and make it on their own rather than get picked up, but you can't tell everyone to struggle when opportunities present themselves. its not like fxo is out 'poaching'. you can't poach amateur players. they're not out recruiting other professional players from other teams either like idra or sen. then... all shit can break loose and the finger pointing can begin.

Root and FXO are not getting in the way of each other at all.... Its very rare to even encounter one another.

I am a fan of most of ROOT, and have heard nothing but good things about them from Sheth etc.

I respect them completely, anyone who thinks otherwise is misinformed.

Go FXOSLoG, maybe you can come to Cybercraft Tournaments and compete and not oversleep! qxc has financial backing now, I would assume he will do very well once his studying abroad in Spain ends.
Venture Capital is better off spent on lottery tickets rather than investing in E-Sports; you'll get a far better return. The difference is simple: Koreans are tryharding at the game, foreigners are tryharding in real-life.

I dunno if he's trolling you, but FXO, when google'd, returns Foreign Exchange Office. This would constitute a currency trading broker and I can't imagine any reason why the FXO would have any interest in anything, SC2 included.

calling root a clan and not a competitive team is an insult to those affiliated with root. roots trying to be the best they can be but have been known to be a little slow in getting big sponsors. the difference between teams and clans is primarily mindset, not resources; and the boys at ROOT have a more competitive mindset than a lot of the pro teams out there with the sponsors

But I love TL on Android! It has made my life heaven when I am not near my computer.

Anyway that is awesome news for qxc to actually go to Korea. It is like the the apprentice leaving his master to train with Pai Mei and returning more powerful than any fighter in the world. Yay qxc's heroic journey.

Who wants to loan me $3000 AUD?


I dunno if he's trolling you, but FXO, when google'd, returns Foreign Exchange Office. This would constitute a currency trading broker and I can't imagine any reason why the FXO would have any interest in anything, SC2 included.

not trolling

In early december FXOpen, a major forex trading company, announced their intention to own and manage a competitive StarCraft II professional team. This most recent branch of FXOpen, dubbed "FXOpen e-Sports", was formed not only to host and sponsor events like the FXOpen Path of Ascension, but to support a competitive team with a view to furthering e-Sports[1].


http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/FXOpen_e-Sports

I have no idea why a trading company would be interested in SC2 e-sports, but I'm not going to complain about it.
E-Sports is competitive video gaming with a spectator fan base. Do not take the word "Sports" literally.

I am not getting anything when I try the link. Is the website down?

Anyway I am looking forward to you guys kicking some ass in the team league. Which team leagues are you in btw? GCTL? Can't remember any others off the top of my head.

i like how people would call ROOT a clan when they are considered to be top 3 in NA. but okay, best of luck to QXC in FXO now you have a sponsor so become #1!

Tbh, I'm not really sure you can put them ahead of Complexity or Lazarus gaming without qxc. ROOT is pretty much all hype at this point given that 2 of their 3 best talents are in FXO (the third being Kiwikaki).

Hopefully they get Kiwi as well now. I could like Kiwi, Sheth & qxc team and ignore everything else. xD

Oh man if KiWi came over that would be total hacks. He is by far my favorite toss and it is always so awesome to see him play in team battles because you never know if he is just going to all-kill or let drewbie have some fun.

Hey hey im not sure you realized we won 2 out of the 3 team leagues we played in this season featuring all the best teams in north america and some of the best teams in europe... aaaaand we didn't play qxc in any of the playoffs matches (not lack of skill or anything, just that he's in spain and we knew he'd be leaving soon) yes, this is the same reason we picked up 'Princess', because we knew we'd be 1 terran short soon .

Also im not sure who you're putting ahead of us, im assuming it'd be Fnatic and EG, and then Lazarus gaming and Complexity. Lets see... we won the last 2 clanwars vs EG without qxc (and yes they did use idra in both clanwars) , and went 1-1 vs Fnatic without qxc. Since the Beta, we have won a lot more vs EG than they have against us _i believe 6-2 is the right score_(not bashing or anything just stating the fact) its always nice close clanwars, but I wouldn't say they're better than us, based on, individual OR team results.

Against Fnatic we're either even or ahead by 1 clanwar, not 100% sure. and against every other team in NA we have won way more than they have against us, I am sure of this because I don't recall us losing any clanwars in north america aside from against EG and Fnatic, and once to ONE, who we also had to play and beat to win SGL this season.

so... yeah im sure complexity and lazarus gaming are great teams, so do NrG and ONE, but with or without qxc, no team in north america is more acomplished than us, that's just the truth.

And im sorry for those of you who don't consider ROOT a team, we're a team, we make $ even if its not from sponsors, and we are not for sale, that's all there is to it.

qxc told us in advance that he was gonna search for a new team because he didn't have the resources to wait and since he has to go to school he doesn't have the time that some of us have to earn $ + game, so things like a salary are much more convenient and nessesary for his gaming career.

qxc was one of ROOT's first recruits, me and drew invited him to join the two of us basically because we saw a lot of potential in him, over a few months he exploted and became a beast, and he's been a loyal friend and a good practice partner to us for a year or so, he told us in advance that he was gonna search for a new team and explained us why, so there's no hard feelings there. We prepared for this, and honestly at this point I don't think its a super heavy hit to our lineup, as it might've been if had we not seen it coming. Again, Best of luck to Kevin and FXO!

To be honest, Drewbie and qxc play almost an identical style. I don't see this as much of a loss. I still consider ROOT the number one team in NA(I don't know all the NA clans).

CatZ you and ROOT are so solid I love it. You will always be my favorite team (NA represent!). If any one doubts ROOT's capabilities, they are at fault. Just watch KiWiKaKi decimate every team he goes against. Then watch Drewbie decimate every team he goes against. Oh yea and they have Minigun, such a beast toss. The CatZ of zerg is in the ROOT lineup as well. (everyone also forgets DdoRo I don't know why because he is a boss!). ROOT is the best team in NA hands down.

Head to ROOT GAMINGs forums, and get some traffic through their site, to help them out. Talk to Paulo there.

Nice pickup by FXO, hope it turns out great!

Sad to see root losing another high profile stable player, hope they can represent in NASL and land some sweet sponsor.

Wow nice! Big grats to the new players and fxo for getting them!! Nice to see how fxo is supporting esports!

I'm just wondering though, ain't that a lot of players to fit in 1team? And who will be going to the fxo teamhouse? :p

i like how people would call ROOT a clan when they are considered to be top 3 in NA. but okay, best of luck to QXC in FXO now you have a sponsor so become #1!


Tbh, I'm not really sure you can put them ahead of Complexity or Lazarus gaming without qxc. ROOT is pretty much all hype at this point given that 2 of their 3 best talents are in FXO (the third being Kiwikaki).

Pretty sure ROOT won the recent SGL Finals and beating a team like EG without qxc so TBH you don't know what you're talking about. ROOT is still a great team and can compete with the best NA/EU teams out there without qxc.

Hey hey im not sure you realized we won 2 out of the 3 team leagues we played in this season featuring all the best teams in north america and some of the best teams in europe... aaaaand we didn't play qxc in any of the playoffs matches (not lack of skill or anything, just that he's in spain and we knew he'd be leaving soon) yes, this is the same reason we picked up 'Princess', because we knew we'd be 1 terran short soon .

Also im not sure who you're putting ahead of us, im assuming it'd be Fnatic and EG, and then Lazarus gaming and Complexity. Lets see... we won the last 2 clanwars vs EG without qxc (and yes they did use idra in both clanwars) , and went 1-1 vs Fnatic without qxc. Since the Beta, we have won a lot more vs EG than they have against us _i believe 6-2 is the right score_(not bashing or anything just stating the fact) its always nice close clanwars, but I wouldn't say they're better than us, based on, individual OR team results.

Against Fnatic we're either even or ahead by 1 clanwar, not 100% sure. and against every other team in NA we have won way more than they have against us, I am sure of this because I don't recall us losing any clanwars in north america aside from against EG and Fnatic, and once to ONE, who we also had to play and beat to win SGL this season.

so... yeah im sure complexity and lazarus gaming are great teams, so do NrG and ONE, but with or without qxc, no team in north america is more acomplished than us, that's just the truth.

And im sorry for those of you who don't consider ROOT a team, we're a team, we make $ even if its not from sponsors, and we are not for sale, that's all there is to it.

qxc told us in advance that he was gonna search for a new team because he didn't have the resources to wait and since he has to go to school he doesn't have the time that some of us have to earn $ + game, so things like a salary are much more convenient and nessesary for his gaming career.

qxc was one of ROOT's first recruits, me and drew invited him to join the two of us basically because we saw a lot of potential in him, over a few months he exploted and became a beast, and he's been a loyal friend and a good practice partner to us for a year or so, he told us in advance that he was gonna search for a new team and explained us why, so there's no hard feelings there. We prepared for this, and honestly at this point I don't think its a super heavy hit to our lineup, as it might've been if had we not seen it coming. Again, Best of luck to Kevin and FXO!



CatZ you and ROOT are so solid I love it. You will always be my favorite team (NA represent!). If any one doubts ROOT's capabilities, they are at fault. Just watch KiWiKaKi decimate every team he goes against. Then watch Drewbie decimate every team he goes against. Oh yea and they have Minigun, such a beast toss. The CatZ of zerg is in the ROOT lineup as well. (everyone also forgets DdoRo I don't know why because he is a boss!). ROOT is the best team in NA hands down.


Head to ROOT GAMINGs forums, and get some traffic through their site, to help them out. Talk to Paulo there.

Meanwhile. This is an FXO thread.


Ah yea sorry. I go to ROOT every day too =P Anyway I got the chance to watch Moonglade tear through some koreans and chat with FXOpen and I am even more excited about this move. Really looking forward to FXO now and I will definitely be cheering for them in the upcoming TSL and MLG events. Sweet job guys I hope FXO keeps it up!

if you are true Kevin lennon's fans, you should stop saying all this bs about loyalty. its not like he took 1000$ from root and quit straight away to another team after that. he has also not said a single bad thing about root at all and they are probAbly still friends.

root has their own plans now with fenix etc living with drewbie and catz.

qxc has chosen a different path. let's support him.

i know: no it is not. it just sounds cool. source? some interview back in beta iirc.

also: congrats qxc. FXO is known to have a good salary and very good organization and i think this will help qxc a lot. but that also shows once again, how some sponsor should finally pick up ROOT for a full sponsorship. those guys are so good (as catz gladly explained) and talented, and seem to have an amazing philosophy, that it's really a shame that they aren't sponsored yet. gogo intel/razer/steelseries/whatever and grab them while they're hot (which they have been for about a year now... :>)

I completely disagree... This is a great thing for e-sports, despite qxc leaving Root. qxc leaving Root and joining FXO will only help to expand the West's reputation with the rest of the non-American community... if you are too blind to see that, then I pity you more than is possible...



also had to quote catz here:

ROOT on the other hand will survive and stay strong, ROOTprincess/kitty/<insert your girly name> is actually very good and with proper guidance will be a force imo

Great to see a lot of positive feedback here, as we don't just randomly accept every person interested in joining the tournament just as we don't blindly run tournaments - FXOpen eSports puts a lot of thought in to each move and I like to think this reflects and people don't jump to conclusions. The players are a blend of experience, proven results, hard work, dedication and future potential that should hopefully benefit everyone involved for years to come n_n

BTW these boys will be needing LP pages if anyone wants to get started on them I will get around to it eventually but I am quite busy lately.

Ditto.

Awesome for QXC though, getting a bigger sponsor behind him is great, FXO have got the money to send him to international tournaments and become a full time pro.

Exciting times.

Interesting to see the tgun pickup. I sort-of knew him a few months ago within a smallish gaming community, and he seemed to have a pretty rotten attitude about most things. Most people didn't like him because of it. I'm assuming he's shaped up enough to join a well-established team like FXO. Good to hear.

Hopefully everyone will see that FXO is trying its best to help players and promote growth in the community. We now have a full B team, w00t! Now by the transitive property... FXO??? you might have heard of us...


I heard banning players from FXO tournaments because you guys mess up scheduling for clanwars is really promoting the growth of the community.



It would be appreciated if you stop trolling FXO team threads.

I'm sure some of the more unknown pickups are also factoring in the ability to play in the upcoming FXO events in Malaysia.

Everything about how FXO handles this is so professional, I really love it.

That's quite true, it's not very far to travel for like half of our players to get to Malaysia if needed. Nationality was not really a deciding factor though, as obviously motivation and hard work are going to trump taking 10 hours less to fly to one event.

Aw maan.. ROOT just got alot weaker. I was such an awesome team, as the most prominent players, QXC, Kiwikaki and Catz each had such a unique playstyle. And they all played separate races, making it pretty legendary.
It was really a team with character.
I hope they get a new terran as unique, and good, as QXC.

the reason qxc left is probably because of sponsors. to the best of my knowledge, ROOT, does not have any sponsors, while FXO has. so, it was only natural he went to FXO when they offered.

correct me if im wrong. xD

That is rather surprising that qxc did leave Root. I always thought he said in interviews about loyalty with Root. Most excited about SloG. I know that he plays with SeleCT on occasions. Congrats!

You know what? After reading Catz's post, this just makes me more of a Root fan. Going it alone financially, while being a/the top team in North America, is awesome. It's too bad qxc left - I would be more of a fan if he were still on root - but I understand the whole thing, and I'll definitely still be rooting for qxc in TSL and any other international (or maybe "global"??) leagues.

I hope that someday Root can make it big enough financially to send players all over the world, but if they get there they will do it through their own ideals.

I love FXOmOOnGLaDe. Being from Australia, he is my only option as far as being patriotic goes. FXO also put together amazing tourneys that are always good to watch, however I feel for ROOT.

They have the same ideas as FXO (cultivate good players into GREAT players) but they don't have the same funds.
Its sad that money dictates The State of the Game (of life.)

Heres hoping that FXO offered Kevin a ticket to Korea, should he be accepted into the GomTV house. We've all seen what Korea has done to mOOnGLaDe in terms of helping out his play.

Looking for confirmation - As QXC was accepted into NASL under the tag "ROOT."
With their emphasis on team play (you must be on a team to play in NASL) as well as their "MAX 5 players per team) rule. Did this potentially cost a ROOT player a seat in the NASL?
If so, VERY BM, as I'm sure this would have been in the works before the announcement of NASL lists.


And yet Root offered QXC nothing, not one damn thing. Money aside, QXC could not play with, practice, or hell even talk to anyone in ROOT for almost 2 months. What do you want him to do? stay with a time that CAN NOT in anyway help him nor can he help his teammates?!

Everyone needs to get over themselves, QXC made a team decision that he needed to make for himself.

His assembly performance + his studying in spain imply that his prime time is i the past.

calling root a clan and not a competitive team is an insult to those affiliated with root. roots trying to be the best they can be but have been known to be a little slow in getting big sponsors. the difference between teams and clans is primarily mindset, not resources; and the boys at ROOT have a more competitive mindset than a lot of the pro teams out there with the sponsors



i like how people would call ROOT a clan when they are considered to be top 3 in NA. but okay, best of luck to QXC in FXO now you have a sponsor so become #1!


Tbh, I'm not really sure you can put them ahead of Complexity or Lazarus gaming without qxc. ROOT is pretty much all hype at this point given that 2 of their 3 best talents are in FXO (the third being Kiwikaki).


Hey hey im not sure you realized we won 2 out of the 3 team leagues we played in this season featuring all the best teams in north america and some of the best teams in europe... aaaaand we didn't play qxc in any of the playoffs matches (not lack of skill or anything, just that he's in spain and we knew he'd be leaving soon) yes, this is the same reason we picked up 'Princess', because we knew we'd be 1 terran short soon .

Also im not sure who you're putting ahead of us, im assuming it'd be Fnatic and EG, and then Lazarus gaming and Complexity. Lets see... we won the last 2 clanwars vs EG without qxc (and yes they did use idra in both clanwars) , and went 1-1 vs Fnatic without qxc. Since the Beta, we have won a lot more vs EG than they have against us _i believe 6-2 is the right score_(not bashing or anything just stating the fact) its always nice close clanwars, but I wouldn't say they're better than us, based on, individual OR team results.

Against Fnatic we're either even or ahead by 1 clanwar, not 100% sure. and against every other team in NA we have won way more than they have against us, I am sure of this because I don't recall us losing any clanwars in north america aside from against EG and Fnatic, and once to ONE, who we also had to play and beat to win SGL this season.

so... yeah im sure complexity and lazarus gaming are great teams, so do NrG and ONE, but with or without qxc, no team in north america is more acomplished than us, that's just the truth.

And im sorry for those of you who don't consider ROOT a team, we're a team, we make $ even if its not from sponsors, and we are not for sale, that's all there is to it.

qxc told us in advance that he was gonna search for a new team because he didn't have the resources to wait and since he has to go to school he doesn't have the time that some of us have to earn $ + game, so things like a salary are much more convenient and nessesary for his gaming career.

qxc was one of ROOT's first recruits, me and drew invited him to join the two of us basically because we saw a lot of potential in him, over a few months he exploted and became a beast, and he's been a loyal friend and a good practice partner to us for a year or so, he told us in advance that he was gonna search for a new team and explained us why, so there's no hard feelings there. We prepared for this, and honestly at this point I don't think its a super heavy hit to our lineup, as it might've been if had we not seen it coming. Again, Best of luck to Kevin and FXO!


CatZ is awesome. He's always been awesome at least since he was with infernal Gamers and iG.BinGBonG. Go ROOT+Catzi! <3

Always going to be rooting for your team (along with IdrA, Socke, Tyler, oGs and mouz).

Still sad to see qxc depart. ROOTqxc has a unique ring to it. "qxc" just doesn't compare.
I hope you can achieve what you aimed at with your new benefactor, but it will be a lot harder to get excited for your games now. :\

LOL at people hating on root their an awesome TEAM and like Catz said they've been putting up a hella impressive showing even without all the sponsors and salaries other teams have. It's cool to see that there is a good team like that which ewas just some players getting together originally (catz and drewbie iirc.) Also awesome that none of the players are starting bullshit online drama over this both sheth and qxc's leavings have been really manner (sorry I hate that word too but its true they have been.)

As for FXO, I've no opinion. Moonglade is a pretty cool guy though, and easily their best.

"THIS MOTHERFUCKER NEEDS TO LEARN A LESSON!"

ROOT didn't offer qxc money, because at this stage, they just don't have it. Thats the disadvantage of starting a new team, from fresh, with the ethos that you will build it the way you want it built.
I don't blame Kevin, it just saddens me that the money is dictating the play.

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.

good decision on both sides. qxc has the potential to go far and make a real name for himself, FXO has the money to support that.

CatZ and Drewbie are only going to get better before MLG, which you will see, with their new training environment.

I don't view this as a serious hit, as I see more potential in Juan than in Qxc, and anyone who followed SC1 will agree with me. Terran / Princess/ w/e he wants to go by is a very good player who will definitely fill in qxc's non-existent absence ... and I say this not bashing, but if you look at Catz's post on page 10, you will see they purposefully weren't using him a lot because they realized that he wanted to shift more towards South Korea (travelling to Spain, seeking a sponsored team that would support him going to Korea), among other things such as school and lifestyle choices (too much parkour?! lol jk). I actually believe that Root is not damaged a lot by this transition; they will still be a good team.

Root shouldn't be effected much, because they are still a highly capable foreigner team with a lot of pull... definitely top 3 or 4 even on Idra's good days, right up there with Liquid, Dignitas, and EG. Based on results I'd put them in front of EG, what was it, a 6-2 cw record vs. them? I personally feel like Idra is of course going to perform well in the korean winner's league style, but if it is proleague style I feel Root is wayyyy more rounded out whereas Idra is like the "flash" of the NA scene in terms of leaguing.

Qxc seems like a great guy, and I'm very glad for him to get this opportunity. I just hope he won't end up as a code b level player living in obscurity.

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.

with root having mr boner ii and britney ppl are surely in for some entertainment. and even if they won't get good that fast, so what. I mean, c'mon - catz, drewbie, kiwibukakki and minigun will wipe the floor with any other team (even if kiwi has to reverse all-kill the opponents ^_^)

sheth is a baller and qxc just wasn't able to practice lately (he'll get better and we will forget the IEM ;D)

He had to make the leap from ROOT if he wanted to make LANs financially possible for him. Makes total sense and I hope he does well.

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.

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~!

You guys were never really around in the BW days, were you? Players hopped from one team to another quite often, the only reason it's not happening now is due to the lack of name changes.

FXO was able to offer what ROOT was not -- salary, paid events, etc. I love ROOT as a team and they have many gifted players but unless they can start finding sponsors, these gifted players will continue to disperse to other teams.

good luck to the new fxo team.. i don't think it matters much that qxc left root. they recently picked up kitty and they still have drewbie as terrans. qxc went out pretty early at iem (which was the last major tourny) he'll have to place high at mlg to impress imo

SC:BW has a higher skill ceiling than SC2? SC 64 is where it's at brah.

seems like FXOpen is trying to become the NYY or Real Madrid of Starcraft2.. Not a horrible idea at this stage of the game when most players aren't getting paid much/at all. Once/if SC2 takes off in the west, things might start getting a little more expensive for sponsors. Hate to see root lose players, considering their trouble finding a deal that they like/that works for them.

It's ridiculous the amount of traitor talk going on here. This is no different then taking a better job(not saying root is bad, we all know root is badass) or what would be considered better for that person. People need to pull their heads out of their ass and realize this is a business with money involved. Can't blame someone or trying to better their situation.

Yeah, same with QXC... People calling him a traitor? Really? He left a team where he wasn't getting paid for a team that will pay him a substantial amount, and in case some of you are forgetting... Sheth did the same thing, to the same team.

I've watched a couple of the root members streams, and it doesn't really matter if you leave their team. Sheth left them, gets paid to play for another team and still gets to practice with the root guys. So ++ for Sheth and qxc.

if you are true Kevin lennon's fans, you should stop saying all this bs about loyalty. its not like he took 1000$ from root and quit straight away to another team after that. he has also not said a single bad thing about root at all and they are probAbly still friends.

root has their own plans now with fenix etc living with drewbie and catz.

qxc has chosen a different path. let's support him.


as for the guy a few posts above qq-ing and crictising moonglade, suck a banana. he owns you any day .

First of all, no one is even QQing about qxc leaving for another team. People who cheer for ROOT are just sad to see a player of qxc's caliber leave the team, thats all.

"as for the guy a few posts above qq-ing and crictising moonglade, suck a banana. he owns you any day " Oh cmon, how old are you? It's like we're back in kindergarden all over again "my dad is stronger than your dad!!!!".

Anyway, fun to se FXO expanding their team because thats just what we need in the community. Too bad about qxc leaving ROOT tho, but I feel like it won't affect ROOT as a team that much because they barely played him in the teamleague and still won!

What happened to CauthonLuck? I haven't seen him since the Beta, does he not play anymore?


SUGGY didn't really leave, CauthonLuck stopped playing starcraft 2.

I wonder if the questionable additions of Destiny and Terran/Princess/Kitty has anything to do with it.

Destiny is more like a freak show than a legitimate contender and Terran as I understand it has a history of being a prima donna (sp). It just feels like Root's credibility as a serious team is in decline. So you lose qxc and sheth and pick up Destiny and Terran. I don't blame him a bit for wanting to be a part of a more serious group of people with financial backing.

P.S. I've been a huge Root fanboy for a while. I am disappoint though.
I might be the minority on TL, but TL is the minority everywhere else.

I heard that ROOT was a team that existed so that its players could train while they looked for more prominent teams with bigger sponsorships. In other words, that it was designed for the better players to leave at some point when they got hired by other teams.

Is that wrong?

huh? LOL idk where you heard this.

ROOT is a team that was designed to only let in players that would become the best players, based on potential, mindset and commitment, Sheth always talked about offers he got when he was in ROOT and eventually he took one, qxc said he needed $ because he has to study as well and can't devote much time to doing things like lessons, he wants to focus on being better at sc2 without having to worry about $ or travel, we couldn't provide with enough of this for him so he told us he was gonna search for a new team and found a nice home @ FXO.

This doesn't mean that anyone else is looking to join other teams or 'trying to get better' so that the team's design of breeding potential to make them good and then help them archieve their dream lives on. for most of us, ROOT is the dream and together we'll make it happen. ROOT isn't a stepping stone, it's a family formed by some of the most loyal people you'll ever find, everyone of us has had offers as indiiduals and as teams and everyone of us has declined many of them. Even qxc declined a lot of offers until he decided -on his own words, that he needed to focus less on the team's goals and more on his individual goals (due to personal and mostly financial reasons)- anything wrong with that ? nope. Is that what the rest of us are all about? for the most part no. are we a stepping stone or a team designed for players to get good and then leave? nope, or else there would be no team ROOT, cause we're already the fucken best 8-]

Tell Cauthon to come back!!! He was my favorite Terran in the beta and at release... and then he stopped playing. He just looked like he had so much potential.

As for qxc... it obviously sucks to see him go. Hopefully you guys can find some good sponsorship soon, which will hopefully happen with the introduction of the NASL, the continuation of MLG and possibly that IGN tournament. You guys are still my favorite team. Keep owning.

Best of luck (in a positive way). QXC, that's a gooood one for you guys to have. I'm just curious, how old are the two players from DOTA an CS respectively? I mean, that's quite a switch to make and they still keep up the hard work. Most players I know off stay in the same field of games, like fatal1ty or GitzZz.
I just love video games, what's your excuse?

I love FXOmOOnGLaDe. Being from Australia, he is my only option as far as being patriotic goes. FXO also put together amazing tourneys that are always good to watch, however I feel for ROOT.

They have the same ideas as FXO (cultivate good players into GREAT players) but they don't have the same funds.
Its sad that money dictates The State of the Game (of life.)

Heres hoping that FXO offered Kevin a ticket to Korea, should he be accepted into the GomTV house. We've all seen what Korea has done to mOOnGLaDe in terms of helping out his play.

Looking for confirmation - As QXC was accepted into NASL under the tag "ROOT."
With their emphasis on team play (you must be on a team to play in NASL) as well as their "MAX 5 players per team) rule. Did this potentially cost a ROOT player a seat in the NASL?
If so, VERY BM, as I'm sure this would have been in the works before the announcement of NASL lists.

There isnt a max on teams anymore, if the players are good enough they could have 10 players from 1 team, it wont matter after the first season anyways as 16 new players will come in through the opens and be accepted regardless of their teams or wether they have a team.

True true... Respect is the most important factor in pro gaming, imo.
It is just truely a shame that due to their similarities, both being young, and full of fire to cultivate the next generation of pro gamers, ROOT and FXO seem to get into each others way


This is the only thing that bothers me too.


look at the bright side. This signing by FXO is pretty much the reason ROOTPrincess was signed, and I think we have a lot to look forward to as he learns the game. He reminds me of ret a lot when he first came over to sc2, his knowledge of the sc2 units leads to some mistakes, but his macro and mechanics are so beastly he just brute forces past his mistakes.

Kelly, you should be a bit more mindful, in my opinion. For more your own sake than anyone elses.
As you're close to Glade, etc, people may take the things you say as the gospel truth.
What I could MISTAKE from your post is....
FXO are sending Kevin to Korea. ROOT players are joining fnaticMSI, or fenix is joining ROOT
, and blah blah blah.
I know it sucks for you... I love to speculate more than anyone else! but whn you speculate, it may hold more weight than it should!


A decent amount of what kelly is saying is either fact or will/should soon become fact. Fenix is reported to be moving in with Catz/drewbie and the TT1 in the Root/Fnatic house after MLG (as mentioned in the various blogs/threads on that house). She didn't really say that fnatic players will join ROOT or vice versa. FXO sending qxc to korea is something that was speculated on by a lot of people in the thread, though I don't know if that's fact or not, so I suppose it's kind of fair to call her out on that, except the entire thread has that speculation.

Congrats to FXO on expanding their team! I hope to see them do well in the various clanleagues.

EDIT: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=203697&currentpage=6#108 is the post where Fenix is reported to move in with ROOT


Coming from no-names in other un-official threads, thats fine. But with Kelly being so close to mOOnGLaDe, who know how much she knows.... (see, speculation )
Following up with "different path" line is kind of saying
"TT1 and Fenix are following a path" rather than
"They're moving in to play some SC with some friends." - 2 different levels of seriousness imo.

Also.. Fairly confident TT1 is already there.
Anywho, lets not side-track this too far. Speculation has ruined many-a-great-thread!

Best of luck to FXO in the future. I hope they keep putting together the same standard of tourneys as they have done in the past.
Any news of the house in Malaysia/whereveritis that they were talking of? Would be pretty amazing if Glade, Sheth, QXC and the others all moved country for a gaming house! The cost of living in (wherever they mentioned) is kinda low too! Could be viable?


I would guess you are the only one reading into her statement in that way. but I could be wrong because I keep myself abreast of SC2 news and knew exactly what she was referring too.


I'm constantly reading anything and everything posted on TL forums.. Nowhere have I heard anything about anyone from FnaticMSI joining ROOT, or visa versa, as it was named as a "FnaticMSI/ROOT house"



Bolded what I was talking about, I don't see how anyone would have drawn that conclusion I don't think it's worth being worried about.

LOL and now princess is gone he has left root and joined Sixjax, artosis JACKED him or maybe he left root first then found another team i dont know
