ONE.NamhciR, TLAF-Liquid`HayprO and DuskBin.F91 get invites or re-invites! The invites will keep coming, if you think someone deserves one or you know someone who does them PM me with previous results, why you think they deserve an invite, etc. Don't get too disheartened if you don't manage an invite though as the list of re-invites for people who did well last time is quite big!

FXOpens are one of a handful of tournaments I actually schedule around. The quality of players across all three major servers definitely produce some epic games, and it's all live. Keep up the good work guys.

They did well enough last event to earn an re-invite.
NamhciR got to a qualifier final last event and is the ace player for his team.

looking forward to seeing some new korean faces in this tournament

Hmm, if that's the rationale, I'm kinda curious about how good the Nv clan in China is, since they seem to be ripping it at the top of the Chinese ladder. NvXiaot is at the top of that ladder (albeit SC 2 was only released this week in China) with a 90% win rate, followed by NvComm and NvMacSed, both with 75+% win rates. Are you in contact with any members from Nv (which I think is probably Nirvana, an eSports sponsor in China)?

hope this builds up to the hype it deserves
there were plenty of good matchups and games in the last FXO tournament

Good job FXO. As someone who heavily works in the FX industry, I'm very impressed that you chose to venture into ESPORTS and other "non-mainstream" things like that FXO drift event!

The obligatory oGs posse!

Nice! I'm assuming that supernova and zenio can't make it due to the GSL?

Lol just rename this to oGs verse the world - pretty awesome to see so many of the oGs guys on the list as well as some foreigner powerhouses!
I also noticed Kitty on there lol should be very interesting!

+ Show Spoiler +They did yes, but not like map hacking or anything they ladder abused a little bit to get more points for better seeding.

I'm so happy HerO is back again, he's so insanely good.

Really love these tournaments, one of a very few places we get to see Koreans outside of GSL/GSTL. Was great to watch Supernova mature from a decent showing in #1 to winning #2 to placing second in Code A and an eventual Code S spot. Hope StC does the same, his military obligation is up soon isn't it?

Yeah, it was a shame that he couldn't make the last one due to some software issues. The hilarious part is, his first round match was Kitty (Juan) due to him being the first seed, and Kitty being the last. There's a good chance had STC played, Kitty wouldn't have made the top 6 even with the loser's bracket.
As for Supernova, I think more familiarity with cross-server lag has something to do with his vastly superior performance as well. I watched his games from Open #1, and he played absolutely horribly - it's hard to believe that he would have improved so much since then into Code A, and then into Open #2. The fact that STC (who played many foreign tournaments in Beta I believe) plays so well in these foreign tournaments shows that once you get used to the slightly higher lag, it's possible to play normally.
Btw, is it possible to get some Koreans from other teams into these? I'd love to see the players from IM and Slayers in here - unless it clashes with the GSL schedule?

STCplaying makes me happy. Awesome roster as usual from FXO, any chance of getting players from Startale or Slayers this time?
