So.....FXOimbaStrelok? Totally different management, FXO just sponsors both teams so don't expect this to happen anytime soon. | ||

GOM has already announced that foreigners can be used as 'mercenaries', an example being Jinro or Huk playing for oGs-TL. All in all, it's the right step forward, and even if people are apprehensive about FXO's performance, you need to remember this is opening the path for other, more accomplished teams, while providing FXO a fantastic opportunity to prove themselves. Overall, great news :D. Team league is really fun, and with this I hope they are able to even expand the brackets. :D | ||

No one invited us to any team league yet and we didn't have a full roster when the other team leagues were running. | ||

I mean, I kind of facepalmed when I saw optikzero on there to be honest... In my eyes, he's known for cheesing in craftcups around early 2011. And again, like a lot of people are saying, FXO aren't really a top foreigner team. I easily think NaNiwa is close (if not already) Code S level, so is Thorzain, Strelok etc. It's too bad that two of the very very best foreigners (Dimaga and White-ra) aren't on really big teams. White ra just joined TTesports, and i'm not sure if we'll be seeing them in the GSTL anytime soon (not sure, maybe they're a really well established team). On a more positive note perhaps, I hope this will inspire more of these top foreigner teams to go to korea and compete in GSTL. While I don't believe FXO is quite up to snuff, I certainly think Dignitas, ROOT (forgot to mention those guys. CatZ all-kill perhaps?), Mouz and a few other teams are. | ||

Whereas I agree with many of you and have concerns that the FXO roster is enough to take down the other GSTL teams, I do not want to say that other foreign teams might have been "better-skilled" to take on the GSTL. I think FXO is in a great position, they can only top expectations and they will climb a steep learning curve in a new environment rapidly. Overall this is great news for the individual parties, as well as the globalization of SC2 as a whole. One thing I'm wondering about, tho, is whether one of the Korean teams will not participate in GSTL. As far as I understood, there are 2 groups with 5 teams each, which makes 10 teams. The 9 Korean S2Conference-teams + SlayerS + FXO makes 11. Someone enlighten me, please | ||

With all of their players practicing fulltime on the Korean ladder I'm sure they'll get significantly better. Regardless, Sheth and moonan are already bosses. I really can't wait for the next GSTL now. Are people really complaining that FXO is participating in the GSTL ? Didnt read the hole Threath. Sometimes this Community is really really weird. | ||

I assume there'll be a group with 5 and one with 6 teams. | ||

Someone enlighten me, please They said there was going to be 11 teams and the groups/way the schedule is going to work will be released next week. 11 teams will be: Slayers MVP IM TSL oGs fOu ZeNez Ho Seo StarTale Prime FXO Only thing I can think of is there will be some sort of play-in match between two of the teams to make it into the GSTL. From that list, the two lowest teams would be Ho Seo (San's team) and FXO. | ||
