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


FXO should definitely get better uniforms.

the fxo uniforms are good


They're not very 'Korean'.

is that so bad? kind of good to get more western influence to korea since it seems they influence us in so many ways

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?


Considering how much QQ there is on SC2 sites whenever we get charged for HD streams, I doubt there's much of a market for a company as rich as FXOpen to make money off of us. My guess is that FXOboss is just really into E-sports and is willing to put in the time, effort and money to see his team rise to the top.

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.


Most of the time it is Boss spending his own money because it takes to long for the funds to come from FXO.

Like the trip to Korea, Boss paid for it out of his own pocket.

Boss is like his name suggests, A total boss.

Suddenly the skill gap between the best and worst players of FXO multiplied by a million.
Regardless, this is actually pretty cool.

Did you even read any of the Posts in this Thread, or tried typing in FXO into a Searchengine?


Wow why so hostile? no i didn't read the posts in this thread, i only read the OP. is there a rule that requires us to read every post in a thread before we can post?

Maybe if you know the answer to my question, you could enlighten me.

I think FXO is also into drifting:

It's pretty cool since Starcraft 2 isn't even on their sponsorship page and they seem to spend more money on it than many other E-SPORTS teams combined. Here's to more money in E-SPORTS.

Common sense would dictate that you read a few posts, or even look for the answer yourself, before asking your mum where your socks are.

This is just plain awesome for esports in general and to continue bridging the gap between korean esports and western esports. It still seems a bit unclear what will happen to with the western players. are they going to compete in korea for fxo west? etc etc but im sure this will a be explained soon. All in All this is just great :D

To be honest they're both still basically completely different teams regardless of the name. It's kind of funny how Oz/Twilight is back with his old teammates lol.
