You're the man Boss!

Great news. Can't wait to see FXO.SC, FXO.Gumiho and FXO.Leenock at foreign events as well as some foreign FXO guys competing in more GSL seasons.

Holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit this is huge.

Good for FXO's business and StarCraft. Great for the fOu players, who can now travel if they would like. I wonder how empty that house in Malaysia will be now that FXO can practice in the fOu house.

(I know they're all FXO and FXOKorea now, just using old names for simplicity.)

this is awesome for FXO and the sc2 community outside of Korea to have Korean pro's being given money from outside Korea surly means that they will be doing more traveling than they where as fOu... that said FXO's uniform is pretty bad and fOu's was awesome lol

FXO play their last match next week (Week 5). Then they merge with fOu. Starting Week 6, fOu will play as FXO.

If you read something on FXO and the currency trading market (the currency exchange market is way way way bigger than the stock exchange market) where FXO is a leading online company, you realize that they are a cash cow. But i don't know what position FXO boss holds in there. Co founder? senior partner? Furthermore, I don't know if they have an underlying business plan for their e sports brand or if they use e sports as kind of promotional tool for their future target group (educated males with online knowledge). Or is this a kind of a pet project much like Chelsea is for Abramovich?

All that's left now is for Boss to buy Nestea.

FXO.Nestea, you know it makes sense.

I'm really sad that the name 'For Our Utopia' will disappear... same thing goes for their awesome uniforms as well

For those people asking about money... I don't think BoSs is investing his own money, I think FXOpen is investing it's money and BoSs is managing it. FXOpen is a Forex trading program which means they have big time advertising money. Spending a million in a year in ESports is really nothing to a company like that.
