That's a narrow way of looking at it. From my understanding Fou had few sponsors and was towards the back of the pack terms of money and support. This could be a major upgrade and an opportunity for them to become a top team, or you know, you could write it all off as terrible :/

FXO.SC doesn't quite have the same ring to it as SCfOu

Nonetheless, I wish the team and both its existing and newly introduced players good luck un the future.

So basically all this did was give fou the chance to compete internationally? I say that because, with FXOs original players and fou's original players already competing in the GSTL now they're all just going to be competing as one team. How is this a bad thing? Lennock for next MLG!!

Also where the hell is Moonglade these days?

Of course the name is important.

I don't have a problem at all with this merge but obviously some persons would be sad if SlayerS were to lose their name into something else.

FXOBoxeR ?

C'mon, you know what I mean :p

Edit: so i just realized that they will have to get the korean girls back to make them say the new names too ? xD

This is very interesting news indeed. I love the team fOu very much, and although it is saddening that the team fOu will essentially become nonexistent, the players that made the team so great still remain. Such great players like Sc and Leenock will probably benefit greatly from this agreement, given that both of them are so talented and very young in comparison to most other professional players. They have a lot of potential, and this convergence of the two teams will only further their development as star players. Sad as it may be, I say goodbye to the great fOu team and wish them all of the best in the future!

he COULD become asdFXO, but still, now his name is ridiculous, not that it wasn't before.

I suppose it will more likely be FXOasd

sweet news, though. kinda funny that Oz leaves fou for FXO only to have them join anyway.

edit: also notice choya already changed his twitter. he's now @FXOchoya
