So, no one knows what'll happen, which makes it all the more fun. SC2 is much more a strategic than mechanical game, so most of the work happens before you start the game, in these leagues. Should be rocking. And we'll get to see them every week, I think. Oh, and hopefully some of there guys can make a run in Code A as well.  | ||

QXC arrived home from studies yesterday! he is an absolute machine once he has nothing but sc2 to focus on | ||

Anyways, I really hope FXO can prove me wrong, would be great if they could make a deep run I just don't see it as likely. Umm if FXOWolf is the same SW)Wolf from SCBW, hes a beast, caster or not. | ||

FXO is a damn good sponsor to do this for their players. Despite the fact that I agree their line up may not be on par with say, EG, they still have some incredible players with huge potential. Sheth, qxc, MoONaN and OpTiKzErO are all already amazing players or rising stars. I can't imagine how much they will benefit from participating in GSTL and practicing together in a team house environment. We should all be thanking FXO for supporting e-sports and making sure foreign interest still remains in Korea, regardless of the outcome of the tournament. | ||

Props to FXO for having the courage ( and some will say budget) to do such a risky thing. Best of luck and hopefully you'll surprise all of us. | ||

I will be very interested to see how this turns out! Either way, it is another step towards a cohesive esports scene including Korea and the Foreign scene This is completely different, Boxer had purposely been scouting for unknowns with raw talent, the FXO team is entirely different. In fact we've seen plenty from most players already and what we've seen haven't been all that convincing except for Sheth. | ||

His form had definitely dropped off while in Spain... but that should have been a *given*.  We'll see how everyone is doing at MLG in just a week. Should be fun! (Well, PRAYING HARD the stream works) | ||

The house is oGs-TL, oGs are my team mates not FXO. Thats how I feel anyway, even if the oGs line-up is strong enough that I couldnt play I would feel the same, its just what happens when you live with a team 24 hours a day. I dont really know much about any of the FXO players apart from Moonglade, and a little bit Sheth, but I dont think they should be underestimated - having an entire team in the GOM house is gonna make practice conditions VERY different. Team league is a lot about planning too. | ||

I'm glad you cleared that up actually. I will add that to the OP as I'm sure a lot of people are wondering about the mercenary situation. | ||

From the gom post it sounded as if your players will be staying in the GOM house? What does this mean for the FXO house in Malaysia, and for people like Carn trying to qualify for regular GSL seasons? | ||
