Strelok is imba

I see what you did there :p

Hopefully we will see some good things from him in the future - he always matches to post good games, but i somehow always see him as the underdog haha

HI Guys,

I'd like to welcome Strelok to imba.FXOpen. I look forward to the FXO boys being able to practice against the imba.fxopen boys soon!

I heart strelok!!! Very muchly! So I approve of this decision 100%.

To those who are unsure about who imba.fxopen is, there have been a few of their players in the FXOIS. Notably Lowely, who is a fantastic zerg player and a big up and comer. Strelok will compliment the team wholely.
Team imbalance was sponsored by our Moscow office and their operations are a little different than the FXO team. For instance, they play a very little part in the event management of FXOpen e-Sports and are more focused on the team and gaming.

I hope this move will help expand e-Sports in the ex-soviet nations.

Regards

FXOBoSs

Well congrats to both him on joining a new team, and for imba getting such a great player. Hopefully this won't affect mouz, it seems like they are losing a lot of players.

FXO is a company is just baller. I feel bad about Mouz, they just lost their Terran ace but I am happy for Strelok and wish him a better eSports future.

And thanks to BoSs for clarifying things!

I would like this recent trend of good players spreading out to different teams to get more exposure/attention if it wasnt mousesports he left
Anyway good luck Strelok.

It's not unusual in sports sponsorship for one sponsor to support more than one team in the same sport.

Look at Red Bull, who sponsor the main Red Bull Racing team (Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber) and also sponsor Scuderia Torro Rosso (Sebastien Buemi and Jaime Alguersuari) with two completely different teams, engines, designers etc. It's true that Torro Rosso was/is supposed to be the feeder team for Red Bull racing, but they are still completely independent of each other. Red Bull also sponsor a lot of up and coming racers in Karting and a number of other motor sports.

In SC2 Razer sponsor both Team Liquid and Team Dignitas Edit and also Mousesports I see http://team.razerzone.com/index , which is similar to Honda and Yamaha sponsoring multiple teams in Moto GP.

I see no reason why FXO sponsoring multiple teams should be a bad thing.

Good luck to Strelok and everyone in team imba.fxo

1. Yes
2. It is different divisions with independent budgets
3. It is a different relationship, with FXO owning FXO esports and FXO Moscow sponsoring imba.FXO.

Now, the much bigger question would be:

When will other FXO divisions finally step up their game and aquire teams themselves? This would allow for the biggest world spanning in-house-league ever seen

Am I the only one who thinks that starting new teams like that is kinda silly? Especially when the same sponsors already have a mildly successful team (FXO) that they should focus on and try to make better...

I'm just under the impression that there are plenty enough good and established teams for the amount of sc2 talent. In fact, I don't feel there's enough really great players to fill all the available high caliber (sponsored) teams. So what's the point??? =/

for the tenth time, FXO owns FXO e-sports, whereas the moscow office is simply SPONSORING imbalance, a russian team.
