Besides Sheth and maybe QXC and possibly MoONaN, I don't have much faith in the team as a whole.

On the other hand, I would be delighted if they were to prove me wrong.

Best of luck.

This is fantastic news. I'm excited to see a whole foreign team go compete in the GSL, especially FXO because they have the support of pretty much all of SEA to go with them. It doesn't matter to me if the players are not at the same level as the Korean teams, because it gives them an opportunity to improve and experience different play styles.

I haven't read the thread to see if this has already been answered, but are Huk and Jinro allowed to team up with the FXO guys and play in their team in the GSTL? or is it only Korean teams that they're allowed to be mercenaries for?

If a team practices full time just like the Koreans do, there's not reason to not be as good as them.

FXO hwaiting.

Don't worry about all the haters, haters gonna hate. It is great to see a professional team take themselves so seriously, how they match up with the Koreans is irrelevant, this will no doubt make the players on FXO a better team, they will be able to talk about Starcarft all day every day and be in the middle of the most competitive scene in the world. I am sure all their players will be significantly better because of this experience. I would not think there is a better way for professional development in Starcraft 2 and imagine a lot of the other teams would be quite envious of what they are doing. Good luck FXO!!!

This could definitely stimulate other teams to go to korea as well! I think that sixjax would be a team that might be interested in going to kroea since artosis is already there. Not to mention, dignitas or mouz :D

This is amazing. I'm absolutely going to do my best to catch every game with them in it. With hard team-practice for 2 months in korea, i can see this team becoming one of the top teams very fast.

Yea, they will all be in korea practising, and they do have good players( Seth QXC and Moonan), which means the team overall can only get better, even if the first matches don't go their way.

Woot woot! QXC in GSTL! Im sooo stoked!
Although they don't look like their very prepared to go up against stacked Korean teams like SlayerS or oGs..

To those of you who are complaining about the cynicism some of us are conveying, its not that we do not support Western teams or that we are not happy for FXO.

I can't speak for others, but for me personally, I think that the success or lack thereof of foreigners who have gone to Korea has impacted the likelihood of other teams or players going to Korea very negatively. When things don't go very well for foreigners, it makes other foreigners think twice about heading to Korea. The reason that I was worried about this was that there are teams which I believe (on paper) would have a higher chance at succeeding in Korea, and would thus make other foreign teams more willing to travel out to Korea.

However, if a team travels out to Korea, has poor results and ends off worse off than they would have been if they never went, that is going to make other teams be afraid of the same happening to them.

Then again, I'd imagine that each team is more than capable of judging themselves as to whether or not they are ready, but things have definitely gone very quiet since Kiwikaki/TT1/Spades tried to qualify for GSL. After that, people just kinda stopped trying until now.

I do fully support FXO and wish them the best. Its just that in my opinion, there could have been a better "first foreign team to enter GTSL", such as Fnatic or Dignitas.
