great interviews! love seeing interviews of sheth and qxc. :D gl FXOpen
|
nice opening speech by qxc
|
qxc embed link is broken. Also, qxc missed an epic chance in the introduction, after Tgun/Anthony each said that "you probably haven't heard of me". When it cut to qxc, I was totally expecting him to say "I'm qxc. You've probably heard of me"
|
|
qxc link fixed, thanks for the heads up!
|
so depressed that after both anthony and tgun said "you probably haven't heard of me" qxc didn't bust out the "you've probably heard of me".
edit: ninja'd by above post >.<
|
wow this is a lot of excellent content gl tonight fxo :D
|
oh god... I really should sleep tonight... but I don't think that I can. Damn you, GSTL and FXO!

Sorry guys, we tried

Really great interview with FXOBoss, this guy is what e-sports needs ! he is interested in improving his players so much that FXO spends $20,000 to send 8-9players to Korea and NA. Kudos !
Its a pathetic that many of the TL posters just bash FXO out of pure ignorance, hopefully they will grow up.
FXO is now one of my favourite teams to watch , gogogogo lads! :D
LOL @ QXC : "can i do the whole interview like this .. "
|
<3 anthony... he used to be so sick in beta wish he would play more!

Awesome interviews, gl tonight guys!
Also, totally agree with Parcelleus.
|
Great interviews. Thanks for doing this, gives a lot of insight into the team. :D FXO Fighting!
Slog's interview is great. He seems very motivated, looking forward to seeing more of his games.
|
|
|
Loving that quote QXC said in the beginning. Follow your dreams!!
|
My respect for FXO increased 100-fold. I went through each and every interview - they were fascinating, especially qxc's and moonan's. Pretty sick he won courage on his first try.
I wish more foreign teams went to Korea. Really hope when FXO comes back they stomp every foreign tournament to show the doubters that this commitment is totally worth it.
|
Best part:
Chobopeon: Is there anything you don't want to give up when you go to Korea?
mOonAn: "My Girlfriend."
Chobopeon: How does she feel about it?
moOnAn: "I haven't told her yet!"
This just a few days before they flew out, hahaha.
|
Respect to FXO
Also that was a sick opening statement by QXC. GL to all!
|
QXC so funny :D
Can't wait to get through all of this - thanks for the interviews!
|
meeting these guys was one of the best parts of mlg columbus

Getting introduced to the team with theses videos is pretty sweet too. I was only familiar with qxc/sheth before. Much thanks!
|
Hahaha, I hope QXC succeeds in becoming a "mega-baller"
|
LOl. i think the moonan interview is awesome. "i went back to challenge myself and won courage" shrugs... like it is so easy... Moonan what a baller...!!!
|
optikzero "i didnt like working with people" ahahahahaaha
|
Boss has some epic eyebrows. Watch them wave~
Amazing interviews.
EDIT: Actually Boss really sounds like an amazing and smart guy. I really think his interview shouldn't be in a spoiler because everyone should really watch it.
ALSO.
If anyone on FXO has doubts, look at the FXO FIGHTING in GTSL thread, and then the live report thread when they're playing (not like that can happen), and realize everything was worth it.
Everyone is truly jelly.
|
tremendous content. more people should watch these interviews! excited to see them tonight in the GSTL
|
Awesome interviews. These guys have their act together, excellent stuff. Can't wait to watch 'em play.
|
QXC will no doubt become a mega baller
|
Great interviewees, great interviewer.

That was definitely one of the goals we had in putting this together. Sure, people know a few of the FXO guys, but everything they do in Korea will be a team effort as I'm sure they will show later tonight.
Can't wait to see to see them play later tonight!
|
Seems like theyre going to stay about a month only.
|
i had no idea moonan beat courage. dayum. nice to meet the FXO players. great initiative
|
Wish I could stay up to watch you guys play tonight. Unfortunately I have a final tomorrow. Best of luck, and I really hope you guys win!
|
Go Team!
I'll be watching you guys on my big screen TV and cheering you on. GoGoGo!
|
Phenomenal interviews, really appreciate it. The initial hype video was very well made.
|
I have a lot of respect for FXOBoss. I felt like he often responded overzealously and too defensively in regards to negative comments about FXO in the past, but seeing how invested he is in his team and how describes his relationship with the team, I can understand why that would be the case.
I do feel that people were being a little inane in regards to FXO going to Korea, but people were quite supportive as well, I remember inControl raised a massive shit-storm and got a lot of hate in the SotG thread when he insinuated that there were better teams that could have gone, with EG being one of them.
I just don't see any reason to take the jam out of some else's doughnut like this, if your team would perform better in Korea, go to fucking Korea. Yeah, there are obviously some teams that are more accomplished and more proven then FXO, but they aren't going to Korea so what's the point of making negative remarks about the people who are going. FXOBoss wasn't sitting there going, "We're the best team for the job, we're gonna crush this shit and come home with NesTea's head!". He stated pretty clearly, this an FXO venture, with the goal of giving their players more exposure and hopefully improving their play, he has no delusions of winning the GSTL and his expectations seem pretty fair, a match or two won at best is what I would predict as well.
I do have to disagree in regards to the mercenary thing though, I think it's a great opportunity to create some camaraderie between foreign and Korean players, it would be more of a perfect situation if somehow it was all players from one team and we ended up with a Fox-??? situation like there is a Liquid-oGs bond, but I think it works fine as is now. It gives the foreign players a chance to compete in the GSTL and it's not like they're splitting them up and sending them to random teams, to me it's sort of like how Torch was a part of VT and also a part of Startale. It potentially gives them a team to bond with within Korea and gives them a team(home) away from team(home) if it works out. I don't think the players will be living with the Fox team though, which in my opinion would work better in that regard. I dunno, it's not a perfect situation, but it's an opportunity to help get players closer to each other and that's a good thing in my book.

lol, me too, I was soooo expecting him to say that.
Btw, I always liked qxc as a person, and always felt like he's really good at putting things into words. When he said "I NEED to go to Korea", I was so touched, it's such an inspiring intro.
|
Wow the FxoBoss interview was amazing. I was behind these guys already but I'm really, REALLY, rooting for them now!
|
FXOboss just showed the community how amazing he is <3
|
|
really great interviews... pretty epic speech by qxc :D
|
I think qxc may have the best attitude I have seen in a pro-gamer, at least in rhetoric. Excited to see how the entire teams grows with this experience, but especially looking forward to seeing qxc develop as a player.
FXO fighting!
|
Who's the captain for FXO? Qxc?
|
Mad respect for Slog. No doubts in his mind that FXO will do well in Korea! SLOG HWAITING
|
FXO clearly has the dedication, players, and financial backing to succeed...And I hope they do! FXO FIGHTING!!!
|
haters gona hate.... nuff said
|
Who else lol'd after watching optikzeros interview
|
Where's Moonglade? Not that I really care, just curious.
|
Everyone should watch the interview with FXOBoss. You have to respect this guy for his dedication.

nice interviews. Nice to hear from tgun and Anthony, people you never really hear about.
|
QXC is gonna become mega baller and the roll over the foreign scene!
lol
|
sooo much respect for boss.
|
Just finished watching Boss and Qxc and those interviews are great. Thanks!
|
I really enjoyed the interviews. Helped shed some light on some of the FXO players I didn't know much about. I am also really impressed by FXOBoss, I didn't know too much about him before besides him being the manager/owner; but the guy is really intelligent and passionate. I can say I'm a much bigger fan of FXO now. Before I was only a fan because of Sheth and QXC (yep, I'm an ignorant SC2 American I'm rectifying that though, I'm becoming more worldly no worries ). I'm really looking forward to the games in a couple hours.
I really should be sleeping, but oh well, FXO fighting!
|
Very cool set of interviews. I love SLoG's optimism and attitude and I think he's a good asset to the team since he'll bring that upbeat vibe to the team. BoSs' interview sheds more light on why some people say he gets so defensive over the internet, but he has some good reasons to be defensive. So a lot of respect for him for investing a lot of money into the team and helping eSports grow. It is awesome to see a big company having a team since it's the same as the professional Korean BW teams.
I hope the best for their team and I think they will do a little better than the people give them credit for. Besides, it's a great learning experience to play on Korean soil against some of the best players and simulating the Korean training environment.
|
Didn't know mOoNan won a courage tournament o.o! Kinda unfortunate he couldn't stay in Korea as a pro-gamer with KTF :<
FXO Fighting! I'm sure you guys can at least hold your own against the Korean teams!
|
I LOVE QXC. I don't know what else to say. He's just someone to look up to and be proud of. Ok I thought of something else to say. I'm finishing my 5th year of college, and by the end of this summer I'm going to have a degree, with the opportunity for a well-paying job and a comfortable life. I'll be able to do whatever I want with my life. But I don't have a burning desire for anything like what QXC clearly has for competition and SC2. He has a clear focus, he knows the steps he needs to take in order to accomplish his goals, and he's smart enough and talented enough to know that if he puts in enough effort, he won't be denied. Go QXC. It will be an honor to cheer for you and your team tonight.
|
Awesome interviews! :D I hope FXO posts some pictures and videos from Korea. It'd be awesome to see some footage.
|
I'm a QXC fan. Didn't know he was that good with words.
|
Great interviews, never really seen a discourse from QXC before :B
|
|
Great interviews :D Cant wait for tonight!
|
Amazing inteviews and great sum up video of all the players well put together good job
|
good luck! 1 hr! kick some ass
|
Wow, these are incredibly compelling interviews. I don't care if they haven't really had great results yet, their attitude and approach to the game has won me over already. Success is sure to come. FXO is by far my favorite team now.
|
SLOG talks so fucking fast that he forgets what he's saying... It's really funny...
He seems super excited in the interview.
|
FXOBoSs was sort of unknown to me, I knew he was there, but didn't know who he was, this interview only got into part of it, but from what it sounds like, that is the guy that I would want to work for. go FXO!
|
Wow, FXOBoss was younger than I imagined. Must be a rather talented man to be director/shareholder of a company with this kind of money at that age
|
My interest in qxc has been revived. If he ever puts out a book I'd buy it.
|
Awesome interviews. Perfect primer for tonight's GSTL. I've always been an FXO fan, they have always had a good vibe. I feel like right now most of their players are like untempered steel. So much potential. Looking forward to seeing Korea really make beasts out of them.
|
mOoNan's interview is hilarious.
|
this is awesome... I'm a fan of tgun now, he seems like a real hard worker GL in GSTL!!
|
After reading the interview with oGs' manager, Spunky, then hearing FXOBoSs' interview, I can tell that FXOBoSs has the prowress to raise a great team. I look forward to FXOpen's progress in Korean and in the GSTL. Best of luck to them!
|
Really looking forward to their level of play against the koreans.
|
FXOBoSs answering like a BOSS! :D This team is so awesome! ^___^~
+ Show Spoiler +Good work today vs ST!  Nice showing for first round! ^^ Cant wait to se the next match.. :D FXOWNAGE!
|
Thanks for the interviews , I hope SCcenter comes back, it was a good guide which games to watch.

People won't be bashing them, once the Korean practice, and Korean additions to their team, mean they have better players than every team, who doesn't send players our to Korea.
|
big thanks for these interviews. Besides all the players, I really like fxoboss attitude and his vision. Hopefully the whole team keeps their spirit and will also handle the hard time (which will come 100%). fxo fighting!
|
lol dam qxc got owned...oh well
he was on my fantasy roster too argh
i'm glad happy busted out though
it's all as expected...i was going for long term anyways...qxc WIN now!
|
qxc's interviews are always so inspirational and motivating ♥
|
Even though qxc lost I am gonna keep him on my fantasy team. Losing just pisses him off and makes him play better next time (:
FXO fighting !
|
Never knew Moonan/Allaboutyou won Courage and was on KTF for a bit. That's sick.
|
What FXOboss says is true.. i feel like there is to many guys out there that only know to criticize and bash players, events, casters and teams.. it's ridiculous!
Go FXO i believe you guys will improve and become one of the best and biggest teams from the foreign scene!

Is it just me or does Sheth not seem super stoked to be there? Hopefully he deals with the culture/lifestyle changes well.
<3Sheth
|
thanks for the interviews, always nice to get an inside view on pro thoughts. especially ♥ sheth :DDD
|
This is so awesome!!! i was jumping out of my chair today while watching the GSTL! Go FXO!!! I want to see more FXOwned signs!!!!
|
GL to FXO in the GSTL i hope they do well and show that foreigners can compete with Koreans
|
keep it up fxo, best of luck
|
these guys have the best attitudes ive ever seen.
|
This is really good. They all seem to have a very good attitude. Really looking forward for their next match. Keep it up, guys!
|
OptikZero doesn't look like how I imagined. o.o
|
FXO aren't killing foreign ESPORTS, they are the vanguard.
|
GO QXC! I really can't wait to see how much he will have improved when he gets back from Korea!
FXO FIGHTING! Hell after watching the above vids I'll pay $40 just for the no ads pass to see a awesome team rip some face.
|
|
|
This is some of the best interviews of pro players i've seen. You actually extracted interesting bits of information out of the players/managers that other interviews tend to lack.
Thanks
|
FXOBoss is cool. I like his interview. It's mighty noble to basically donate 20 grand to the team. Also, GSTL participation gives way more publicity than any 20k tournament. 20k tournament would only get about 500 regular visitors spamming "eh, meh, omg" through 500 pages of TL threads, while GSTL is watched by hundreds of thousands.
|
i am highly disappointed by the introduction interview. 3 people said "you probably haven't heard of me" but qxc didn't say "you've probably heard of me." D:
|
I love you guys, FXO is my favorite team at the moment :D
Great job on the interviews! It gave a really interesting insight into FXO players and their motivations. Much respect to Boss, all the power to you. He seems well suited to drive FXO to success.
Can't wait for QXC to transform into a mega baller best interview ever!
Someone should photoshop QXC in mega baller form! I would, but I'm a photoshop nub...
|
great interviews :D so glad FXO was able to drag there massive balls to korea and they took some games off ST so i expect at least a few wins out of them in the GSTL
|
I hope this works out for them. They're going to need some serious dedication but I think team FXO can do well in the GSTL.

|
Damn Qxc has a lot of good stuff to say. Best of luck to the entire team! I'll be watching the stream and your GOM matches as much as I can!
|
I have a question, wasn't FXOBoSs just saying recently that he didn't think korea was going to be the mecca of E-SPORTS? That is why he bought that big house in kuala lampur for FXO I thought, because he said E-SPORTS would blow up outside of korea and he didn't think it was going to be as big in korea I thought, for him to now say totally the opposite about korea is great, I just thought there was plans with the kuala lampur thing, gl guys!
|
Again a twist in words. I don't deny saying that e-sports will focus outside of Korea.. This is mostly because you cannot financially keep e-sports localised in korea. It will be too small.
Right now (today) korea has the means to train and become great. They take stuff alot more seriously and act correctly towards the game (the way of the future of e-sports globally).
I didn't buy the big house for e-sports. It was given to me and I decided that its too big for me to live in alone (As I am only me). So I am using it for our team house. ref: fxopen team house thread
I still dont see korea being the centre of e-sports. But it is represented best in korea for the time being. Sometime in the future that will change, I hope.... If it doesnt change when e-sports advances further, please quote me on it then for a comment

Woot Tgun! My beta-friend hero! I remember our custom games. Good job and good luck in the future buddy.

I like how FXO knows that they will fail at first, but they're willing to take the fall and blaze the trail for future foreigners. FXO hwaiting! (Especially Sheth!)

|
I want to wish them the best of luck. and T-Gun if you remember me at all from our little debate on chat, take no offense to what I said and just do your best and Practice hard!
