This is awesome news. Mad props to FXO for taking a giant leap for e-Sports.

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.

(T)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.

Its cool Boss wants to see where his team rates vs Korean's but with all the cash he has to kick around he should really try to get something going in NA or EU. 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..


Just want to say, I lova ya Boss, but I have to say I've had this stuck in my head all day!

Just to reiterate, I think this will be a great thing for FXO as a team. Playing in a team house in Korea training for weekly matches will just help the players get better and better. Each player that's going will likely improve by leaps and bounds. The first couple weeks might be rough, but this is a long league, and I expect good things from FXO going forward.

Sheth has to show Korea the power of combining a ton of drones with many smiley emotocons.

I'm actually so happy to see that even with the debate of 'Korea problem', ppl realize that going Korean is at least not hurt for enriching their personal/career experience. Great respect to the FXO team and their sponsors!!!

Hoping to see naniwa and some other top foreigners merc for FXO if they decide to go there, could become a team where foreigners get to show their skills outside GSL if FXO allows them to.

Haypro is perfect example to it... Oh wait.

On serious note. 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.

It's cool that they're getting the experience and all, but I can't see this as anything less than sending lambs to the slaughter... Hope they prove me wrong though, and Sheth wrecks everyone there...

I doubt FXO will win a single game . QXC, Sheth, and MooNan might if they get lucky (and for QXC, if he gets lucky and starts practicing like he did before he moved) . REgardless, it'll probably be an amazing experience for the players and a great opportunity to improve if they have the right mindset.
