Awesome for FXO, and awesome for e-sports in general!

Moonan, qxc, and Sheth seem like the only players that have a real shot against koreans, but then again, I haven't seen much of their Slog, tgun or Filthy. I hope Moonglade ends up playing, then they would have at least 4 solid players.

I would really like to see Mouz over there, they're beastly.

Welp, FXO has some major collective balls for doing this. That's for sure.

They're also going to get their collective ass handed to them, at least at first, as long as Korean teams don't take them lightly, but maybe they can improve quickly and show some good results eventually.

I also kind of hope they don't get any free bids in to the Code A qualifiers since there's already going to be 3 from MLG, so it would be really unfair to Koreans trying to qualify, not to mention they haven't earned any spots in the slightest. I'm interested to hear who their new recruit is though.

This will be an invaluable opportunity for FXO team! Go QXC and Sheth! You guys can definitely improve alot in Korea!

i have a feeling theyre just gonna get all killed by some unknown scrub from slayers ogs or IM. probably EG or dignitas would be able to even compete with the korean teams

I love IdrA to death, but he couldn't carry his whole team through any GSTL match. Honestly I don't think any team foreign team on their own could do well, even Liquid. Now lets say you take the whole team and move them to Korean for a few months, then things would start looking good.

GlaDe... =/ Best of luck for the rest of the team though, but still upset with GlaDe not doing much since IEM and his brief time in Code A.

wow i see a major change in e sports going down and all people can say is FXO is bad and they should be replaced with another team? that's pathetic i thought the people here were more supportive than that. gl to FXO and i will defiantly be watching this GSTL.

Also, it should be pointed out that getting the team Stage experience is going to be huge benefit. This'll make them all a bit better in LAN events and the bigger open events. Don't underestimate the value in that experience as well.

have u considered recruiting "mercenaries" from TLAF-Liquid powerhouse in Korea? i think Jinro and Huk would mean more to you than oGs, team that is always number one favorite to win the damn thing (with so maaaany big names and what not)

Sheth, qxc and Moonan are really good players. I think they could give the Korean teams a run for their money.

I don't think Jinro or Huk would go against oGs. Jinro/Huk live with those guys and are friends with all of them. I'm sure if they couldn't play for TL, they would play for oGs if given the chance.

Does FXO plan to pick up any foreigners who come over to play this summer or through MLG to play as mercenaries for them in team league?

Thinking about it.... But i dont know.

I kinda think it defeats the purpose of a team league? But still on the fence.

I'm going to love seeing Sheth competing in Korea. One of my favourite foreign Zergs!

Since you're actually one the thread (which is awesome, btw!), wanted to wish you guys good luck. Take the opportunity and run with it. If nothing else, you'll have done something massive and gotten a lot of exposure for it. (You'll be on Korean TV weekly, and getting a lot of views off TL every week... think about that)

I did want to say 1 thing though: "unstable" has the hardest job. Strategy is just as important in these team-leagues as the actual players. Having a Top5 player is a big thing, but as SlayerS`Cella has shown, how you use those players *is* the key.
