![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/SKcfh.png)  FXOpen KOTHWith the announcement of the FXOpen e-Sports $20,000 Live KOTH, the FXOpen KOTH is sure to be one of the most competitive events on the calendar. This competition will see some of the best players across all three servers compete in a king of the hill style format where ladder points and $300 cash is up for grabs for players who accrue the most wins. This event takes place each weekend alternating between the KR, NA and EU servers each time and feature several players from GSL stars to underrated team practice heroes. The ladder points also contribute towards eventual offline events with much larger prizepools to be announced later in the year, and strong performances in the KOTH lead of course to potential invites to the $20,000 offline KOTH event. Keep track of the standings by total wins and ladder points on the FXOpen e-Sports Forums. ![[image loading]](http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/3846/fxois1players.png) This is the Korean-based event with players selected from Korea and people residing in Korea. Remember, if you don't see your favourite player here many of the names will be recycled each month, while prizewinners from the previous month will be given first chance at a repeat invite!

I think it´s slowly time to make a subforum for FXO, I can´t keep up with all the tournaments you are making 
You put a sentence about the Invitation process
while prizewinners from the previous month will be given first chance at a repeat invite
how do you make the other invites? Do you give the teams an amount of spots and they choose or do you ask players directly?
Glad to see many not so famous players, always exciting to see them against MKP for example!

Haha it's just been a very busy month for FXO. Usually it's just a KOTH each week and the invitational once a month but we've had GSTL and new recruits on top of that, as well as the announcement of the live KOTH 
For Korean invites the process is different. In EU and NA I usually ask the players (managers can help me get in touch) but with the language barrier and having to get the head coach's permission anyway it's easier to go through a manager for Korean teams. I just let them know how many players they can put forward, and which players can/can't play (for example, Maka has already played in 2 in a row and can't play in a 3rd for a while). They are always really helpful.
Some teams you will notice have more representation than others. This doesn't mean they get preferential treatment, just that I know the players or managers better or have talked to them for longer so it's easier to organise participation. The number of time a player can participate should even out over the course of all online KOTHs so we don't have a situation where a bunch of Prime players get 4-5 repeat invites whereas someone from MvP only has a player invited twice.

Thank´s for the long and detailed answer. Bad for Maka as he won money the last time too, but he can be quite happy with his $300 and has already a good position for the 20000$ invitational.

I think I can remember this was once asked and the caster himself is from Taiwan and wanted that flag to be shown. But I not sure...

That's right, though the caster commentates in Chinese he is from Taiwan and has a lot of Taiwanese viewers and he appreciated the flag representing his own background.

The Australian dollar is roughly equal to, BUT MORE than the USD!
Whoo!
Also this is a great idea. Very happy to see it happen. Must be easy having such great resources at your disposal, especially a great caster already on your team.

Awesome that Moonan and Sheth participate!

The final player is IMDreamerTT, and the order of play is now in the OP!

Sick lineup, lots of interesting players. I'm expecting the winner of MKP vs puzzle to go on a long streak.

Hi, very sorry guys but we will be postponing this event by 1 week (and then have the EU and NA KOTHs the week after that) due to caster availability.
Extremely sorry for the short notice and I hope this doesn't inconvenience anyone!
