I know I'll sound hypocritical when I say this since I am big on the whole "take a leap and move to korea", but that's when you actually have results backing you up. The only way I could ever see this work is if foreign teams joined up and sent their best players, in a style like *snip* That's because you are looking at this the wrong way. Awesome teams and players are created and molded. You're thinking they are going their to win it all. I think FXO is doing this to provide their players with valuable training and experience. Yes, they want to win and compete. But this seems more about FXO building a strong contending team from the ground up. By investing in their players and giving them the opportunity to compete against the best and learn what it takes to be at that level. | ||

This is about one team, with its own finances, making its own decision to go and compete in the GSTL to improve their play. I don't see how them losing would turn away GomTV, either. Gom has been really active with opening things up to foreigner participation. The house is already provided and hasn't been used to its full capacity. Apart from that, FXO is paying for everything themselves, and Gom stands to attract a lot of viewers by having a foreign team playing. Ya, you could be right. I suppose whatever happens, it'll at least attract some foreign fans. And after reading Sheth's post, I suppose I have to commend FXO for doing this at a time that nobody else would. Hopefully they do start a pattern here. | ||

I am super happy for the team FXO. They are a great team with a cool lineup. I hope QXC is in tiptop shape to play because he has so much potential. Of course with school it's hard to keep up but this shenanigan is OVER  .Sheth is also a god and I'm sure he'll do well. Cool stuff. | ||

Throw up some cash for the NASTL or something, I like watching GSTL more then GSL, would be cool to have a team league for foreigners. (Read: Sheth don't go so you can go back to streaming for us on weekdays ^_^) NA is already over saturated, its almost impossible to schedule things properly for that community without stepping on a million ppls toes. EU I have staff in Russia slowly arranging that. Without knowing what FXO is actually doing, its kinda silly to comment, we have about 12 e-sports projects at the moment which are being prepared behind the scenes. You never know, your wish can come true. And to re-add whats happening and has been posted in this thread. I am paying for the GSTL triip from my own pocket. Not FXO's. Its too good of an oppportunity to pass up.. | ||

Hopefully it will operate in a similar way though with foreign players who go to Korea competing alongside the FXO guys. I really don't like this idea of a 'World Team' being thrown around. It totally defeats the purpose of a team league and in general I am against forming teams with 'the rest' or a group that is together just for the one event. Leave that kind of thing to one-off showmatches. It would be unfair to the Korean players who have to put in the effort on a team and play for each other and then some all-stars team comes along just because they are foreigners. Not to mention any sponsor issues faced when there's a team with players from 8 different sponsored teams, or the effect on team loyalty, which is a driving force in esports. | ||
