This is looking to be the best FXO invitational yet.

The previous ones, though awesome, seemed like NA/Euro 'lite' vs. korea 'lite'.

Lots of heavyweights in this one

. Will be interesting to see how the non-GSL foreigners match up against some of the top koreans.

deL: Which players are the biggest threat to your Prime players?

ZephyrPrime: oGs players and SeleCT.

That is some crazy respect shown for SeleCT right there; really impressive..

Haha, it should tone down a bit now actually

running out of top players and heading in to a few promising or underrated players that deserve a shot at some prizemoney and the chance to attend bigger LANs.

FXOpen looks like it should be a good tourny, too bad it doesnt get the attention other major tournies get, has the potential to be epic!

l3g3nd_, I understand what you are saying. But to hype the crap out of something in a fragile industry, is dangerous for business.

We are rellying purely on word of mouth, quality, and smoothness. Our current growth rate is about 250% per tournamnet in popularity from the previous tournament.

This is actually too high to begin with, but we appreciate the fact that it is because of the hard work put into it. Not a bunch of things said for 2 months prior

Things are only going to get bigger

Have a good one!

I love these tournaments, the invites are amazing and love the mix of Koreans and International players. The only problem last time were the no shows, there were just sooo many of them! Hope that doesn't occur this time. I understand it was a problem with a relocalizer or something. A waiting list could be a good idea for an event like this, as with people playing from all over the world, some are bound not to show.

Once this tournaments gets closer to the business end of the brackets i have no doubt the hype will be at the level it needs to be.. The names that are on this roster are absolutely ridiculous; the community cannot avoid such huge matchups for any reason

Epicness is in store for eSports.. can you sense it to?

Wow this looks awesome.
Beside TSL these FXOpens are the biggest Online Tournaments (as far as the player pool goes) and it's nice to have some S Class Koreans in it.
