Holy smokes, I knew FXO had some money in the bank but I didn't think they would actually buy a Korean team. It's fantastic! Can't wait to see FXO Korea's players at non-korean events.

Good god... this is insane- most definitely too much for my zombie-morning-brain to compute.

This is pretty exciting news. It's great to see SC2 teams becoming more global and less region constrained!

Probably worth telling the entire sc2 community that.... :S Our shirts are probably the most 'sport wear' shirts out there. The material is made for high temperature high humidity.

But to what seems to be the satisfaction of the ocmmunity we have new designs coming out soon.

Yea I meant to say that in a joking tone, no offense or anything intended. Uniforms are probably the least important part of the team

. I do like BW uniforms though.

this is a great move for fOu team, but I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what benefits FXO is getting from this deal. I thought FXOpen is a trading company?

FYI, tried to go to fxopen.com and apparently it's blocked in Korea.

Don't take this the wrong way, Boss, but I sincerely hope you (and your associates) can comfortably afford this.

FXOLeenock doesn't sound as good as LeenockfOu

Oh well, this is pretty huge. Seems like fOu players will have a lot more opportunities to compete internationally which is awesome.

Of course they can afford it. How much is it to buy a Korean pro team? 100k? 200k? That's nothing to any decently sized company.

Edit, plus they get to write it off as a business expense.

FXO just went from one of the weaker overall proteams to an absolute wreckingball. This will be extremely beneficial to FXO's foreigners in terms of overall improvement too.

I really like where this is headed! I hope SC2 can have an easier flow of players around the globe. If teams have regional branches then the players can move around based on what tournament scene they want to be in at that moment without having to go all-in moving to (or from!!!) Korea

I too also hope that one who made his money in the financial sector knows what he's doing in regards to purchases and sponsorships.
