Risking an entire teams reputation as well as a companies? I have done marketing before (Actually its the reason our commpany is so successful) and this is certainly not a good form of marketing. Especially given all the stuff that has been said and done in the recent past. This is for my team. That is all. | ||

This is a null issue. It should not be brought up again. | ||

That is all. you gain respect for trying to take on the best, you wont lose any. but being realistic, if there was a liquibet for it, i would vote FXO gets all killed every round, good for you for trying, but it just looks to me like your one of the only teams that can financially support doing this. i would expect you to agree that there are some incredibly strong non korean teams out there that would fare better in the GSTL then FXO | ||

Yeah, while there'll be a *lot* of exposure (and I'm sure Gom will LOVE the storyline), there's a huge amount of risks. And a huge amount of rewards. Even if FXO comes out in the middle, the experience for the players will be insane. It'll also be the first "real" foreigner house and gives all of the members good experience together before FXO's "real" house opens up in Malaysia. So, huge risks and huge possibilities. There's a lot on the line, and that's why we should all give mad props and best wishes to FXO. If it works, we'll all be better for it. | ||

Who cares what players they send as long as they're taking the bull by the horns. | ||

I hope you do well in the GSTL! I mean, SlayerS won their first GSTL and MVP came second in their first. So it is not unheard of that the "lesser known underdog team" (with that I mean that FXO might not be as well known in Korea like IM, oGs etc...) does really well in GSTL. Sad to hear about mOOnGLaDe's problems, I hope they get resolved so all will be well again and he cain participate. mOOnGLaDe, you are one of my favourite zerg players. | ||

1. pioneer move to the advancement of esports. 2. the team is very weak, except sheth, and qxc when in form. we need the top foreign teams in gstl, like eg, or fnatic, for real sport; getting tired of koreans overestimating the current regional skill gap. i love the sound of the thing about taking foreigners within a korean team to allow them to participate in the gstl, but the details of that are pretty hard to accomplish, perhaps IM will pioneer that one. IM.dignitas.nani incoming in the gstl :D | ||

I think GSTL gives any team an opportunity to win a few games, due to its format. Preparing certain players for one match-up only can give those players the chance to shine out there. FXO has players of that kind of caliber. Also, being the underdog against probably any other team, only increases their chances. Catching a few korean pros of guard will boost self-confidence. Quickly this will all snowball out of controll, leading to FXO being quiet succesfull. But seriously: Great decision, FXO. I wish you the very best of luck !!! | ||

Since GOM are not paying for this, I am from my own pocket. 1) have no foreign team in GSTL or 2) Have FXO in gstl... Take your pick. | ||
