I kinda wonder what this means in terms of GSTL. I'm guessing since fOu will change names till week 6, they are waiting until the current FXO is out of the tournament. But, does this mean players like say Sheth will be able to play later in the tournament with fOu (or the new FXO)?


No, from what I've read. Teams have to register their rooster before the season started so only those players are eligible. Read about it when Fruitdealer and Tester joined StarTales, even though they are part of ST now they can't play in the GSTL til next season.

Still it is good, they are able to stay at the old FOu house practice and cheer them on etc if they choose to.

The one thing i can see happening now,since FXO is financially extremely solid it seems,is that the whole(or majority) of the FOX Korea will now go to events like MLG and Dreamhack,which means the level of competition is gonna skyrocket in the foreigner events.

If it was uncertain,by now,the Korean invasion has shifted into a new gear and i couldn't be more happy about it.

Their mission statement from Day 1 in their travels to Korea have been to improve their skill and get better. The chelsea of SC2 would be more like SK-gaming's SC2 roster.

Dude there is absolutely no reason to hate on FXO. They have completed their mission statement the moment they landed in Korea. Oz/Twilight proved to be invaluable as a teammate/practice partner, and it's completely mind-boggling to see how much qxc, slog, moonan, tgun, optikzero, etc. have improved their play just within the last couple of months.

Do you realize how much sicker they are going to become? Qxc training with SC, Leenock training with tgun and Sheth. Acquiring Oz/Twilight onto their roster and now all of fOu is WIN-WIN. It makes so much sense. fOu has a friendly relationship with oGs-TL with their soccer friendlies as well.

I can see FXO completely owning face within a year FOR SURE. The only thing I'm worried about is that the current roster consists of semi-pros in that some have to go back home abroad or finish their studies (such bad timing!) after their stay in Korea.

I seriously, seriously hope the current FXO roster takes advantage of this opportunity. I think if they commit 200%, they are going to be SCARY good.

Interesting news. I didn't suspect that a team like fOu could be bought. Imagine there is no longer a SlayerS team...weird.

I don't think its a merger, so much as it's just that FXO is now fOu's main sponsor.

I can see how this went. Something like this Unstable to Boss"Oi m8 we need some korean practice partners..our boys are gettin' crushed here..you saw what korean training did for that Yankee Huk"..Boss to Unstable "I have an idea...those FoU fellas seem pretty nice..would you like those?" Unstable"Yeah that would be great m8" Boss "I'll take care of it..." ..and then FXOBoSs pulls his large gator skin wallet and aquires the FoU team...

The End...


What a wonderful story isnt it!

While this would be nice, it can kill the product sc2. Viewers are very sensitive to what they deem as exciting and what boring. After Korea dominated SC BW, everyone was excited when the gap wasn't that big anymore and anxious to see foreigners and Koreans going against eachother. On the other hand, this could go over the top when Koreans will dominate each and every event again. Then things become boring, the viewer count will fall back, sc2 will be less attractive for Western companies and ultimately there will be less money available.

Not unless players like Huk and Jinro, naniwa & thorzain, and now FXO show how good they can be after having quality practice with quality teammates in Korea.
