For those of you negative nellies who think the FXO players aren't "good" enough to represent foreigners on a Korean stage, just think for a moment. Why are Korean Starcraft players so good? Why have they been so good ever since Broodwar? It's because ever since Broodwar, they organized into teams that lived together in the same house, practiced all the time, helped each other with strategies, and competed against other teams who were doing the same thing.  BoxeR was the first to figure this out, and he was the one to make it happen and in doing so created the Korean Broodwar scene that is still going today. He knows how this works better than anyone else, which explains why Slayers rose to dominance so quickly in Starcraft 2. Being a part of a full practicing team is what it takes to compete on the highest level. Look at players like LegalMind who used to be on a team and now are "freelancing". How well are they doing now? Exactly. Being born Korean doesn't magically make you better at Starcraft. Being on a Korean team does. If FXO lives like the other Korean teams do, and practices like they do, they will become better. They will become competitive. It will be awesome. HAAA, thank you, you put this way better than I could with my limited english skills. Everyone should read this post ! Some of the FXO players (I don't know them all) have great potential, and with a strict practice regime they'll get better, no doubt. I hope they'll find some koreans to train with too. And when they'll come back to the foreign scene, everyone but the very top players will look average compared to the beasts they'll face for 2 months. And this is very good for improving. | ||

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.. Just want to say, I lova ya Boss, but I have to say I've had this stuck in my head all day! http://www.youtube.com/user/thelonelyisland#p/u/43/Rp7jp5H-xWU | ||

This is a big chance for a big power-up for FXO players. Hopefully they succeed. On another note. imba.FXO doing EU clan league? Sounds promising. | ||
