I get the feeling that lots and lots of people have a really skewed view of success with this venture. For me, just the fact that they're going and participating is success, noone else is willing to do it and playing the best is how you become the best.

Eh, I really like QXC and Sheth as players, but could never really get behind FXO as a team. I think they'll do resoundingly meh, and will most likely be all kill meet for any teams with S-Class players. I'm excited to see more foreigners (obviously) but FXO simply is not the best representation of the foreign scene. A Dignitas, Team Liquid or even EG or Root would do better. GLHF in any case!

This is almost exactly how I feel. QXC and Sheth are decent players, but if I were a gambling man FXO would not be my first, second, third... or even eighth place bet. I would absolutely love to be proven wrong though, FXO fighting =)

yup

what is more significant is that an entire foreign team is being sent by their sponsor to compete in the GSTL and Korea

if they do well or even average, it will be huge. if they do poorly, I don't think it says that much.

people are well aware that FXO isn't a top tier foreigner team, although they have one hell of a sponsor.

I really respect FXO and all their players for choosing to go to korea and play with the best. It shows amazing will power and I think they will gain a huge advantage over the rest of the foreign scene if they adapt a korean like practice regiment

Going to see them get all killed every match. So many better teams should have the option to go.

I'm happy to see this and hope they do well. I do fear they will get stomped though, I don't see much resistance from anyone bar Moonglade/Sheth.

Why would husky be a coach? he has very little understanding of the game except for being the first person to upload HD vods. There are actual professional team coaches out there, not an annoying little boy.

And you didn't list these zerg in top 3?
IdrA
Dimaga

Terran;
SeleCT
ThorZaIN
Strelok

As for zerg;

IdrA & Dimaga are not listed in your top 3?
and Terran should be; SeleCT, ThorZaIN, Strelok

you fail at the internet if you don't realise that post is 100% a troll.

I think your trolling, because the only players who are actually top 3 foreigners of their races there are HuK and maybe either Haypro or Catz.

Google translate does a pretty good job. Seems ppl in korea are aware of who tgun is.

Hopefully for the right reasons - maybe ST.Ace brought stories back from Sydney NRG LAN with him

I'm sad that people haven't yet realized that pretty much every single one of Juanald's posts on TL is trolling.

I never even read what he types.

I think you misunderstand. Im sure any team would have the option to go but tthey either dont have the money to go or the willpower /means to uproot their whole team. Considering no other team right now is in a position to do this, you should be happy to see any foreigner team competing in the gstl.

So many sad comments.

FXO initiative is so significant for the future of foreigners in the major korean leagues. We should be happy to watch an all non-korean team competing there.

GL to FXO.
