Well, I guess FXO is really stepping up when it comes to the level of commitment they want from their players.

best of luck to Sheth in finding a new team!

Sorry to hear this as FXO just gain such a good merge with FOu. Hope Sheth finds a good team that suits him well. GL at MLG Sheth!

They just got acquired all of the fOu players. I'd say they are a pretty strong team.

And good luck to Sheth. I'm sure he will be in a new team two weeks from now.

I really like the direction fxo is taking. It wants all it's players to b 100% committed to the team cause

Looking forward to seeing rapid improvement from the players in the next few tournaments

actually one of my favorite zergs, but in my mind just personal thoughts here Sheth was not moving in the direction that FXO was. So it makes sense and hopefully he joins a Reign or EG who feels like it's a good idea stay in the U.S and build inside out. at least that's the way I feel it is good luck sheth!!

I really wish teams would stop giving players half-information, or even misinformation as it feels in this case.

If it was a strong possibility that Sheth would be leaving the team, don't tell us that he will still be part of the team.


He's still part of the team until a contract ends or is terminated. To say otherwise just creates needless drama and lots of discord for no real purpose. That's why it's standard practice.

Uh I'm pretty sure the contract is being terminated on mutually agreed upon terms.


Hasire is talking about BoSs' post from a few weeks ago. He's saying he wishes that companies wouldn't say "X person is still with the company" when they may or not be on their way out. Which is what I was commenting on.


Things has changed dramatically over the past few days though. Before that, it was known that FXO will slowly leave Korea. Some will go to Malaysia team house, some like qxc will resume university. So while Korea is important to them as BoSs has said repeatedly, it wasn't the only place to be.

Now with the acquisition of fOu, their plans are likely to be even more Korea-centric ( or at least Asia centric) and Sheth who much prefers to see his families and friends often and dislike pro-house environment won't be able to contribute much in the Asia/Korea scene.

All speculations of course but seemed reasonable to think of it that way. So yea i honestly believed Boss when he said a few weeks ago that Sheth were still in the team. It wasn't meant to deceive. Things change that's all.

Disapointed. I saw this coming after he didnt go back to Korea and the whole arkward question of roster changes on SOTG.

Still at the very least i'm glad there is no bad blood. Best of luck to both partys. In particuler Sheth. Please Liquid, grab this guy while he's free

Its sad but it was inevitable. FXO has a grand vision for esports and even if they dont have the best players they are committed to playing proffessionally and at the highest level of competition. Sheth is a high level player but its likely he sees his future in USA and not in Malaysia or Korea.

Best luck to both!

I like how the way the title is worded, it makes it seem like Sheth is a Baller and FXO just couldn't handle being with him. (Not trying to insult FXO, just a funny observation.)

I know I'm echoing a lot of people here, but this does not surprise me in the slightest.

FXOBoss' answer seemed very hesitant when asked if any players would be cut soon due to a "salary cap" with the new Korean additions.

Just like SlayerS. You should read up some more and see what mentality is actually behind it.
It is not about winning or being the best. It is about improving and aspiring to be the best.
As part of that goal is showing people like you that what they have done is incredibly valuable and in turn makes people like me not be a fool for believing it is.
Only time will tell and even then you don't have to be supportive. But if you watch the GSTL I would say we are already seeing great improvement and that will only get better.

And please clean up your typing you are making me feel ashamed for being born under the same flag.

This whole post is kind of nitpickey so I apologize for directing it to someone in specific.
The majority of the reasoning behind actually going through with posting this is because FXO gets a lot of undeserved bashing. I guess this is just me trying to whack a mole.

Actually, that's just how you interpret it.

I thought the point of the FXO/fOu merger was to make both teams more international, not more Korea focused.

This really does feel like a situation of "Well now we have Koreans, so we can dump our star player who didn't want to live in Korea".


Also, are we being expected to believe that the FXO/fOu merger wasn't basically done by the time NASL finished? I find it hard to believe the two teams would start up talks on this level, work out the financials, and come to agreement in about three days [July 18 -> July 22].

If anything, it is more likely to believe that Sheth knew about the merger, didn't like what the team would become, and decided to go back home. Which just leads back to my original point, FXO just BS'd us about Sheth's status with the team.

Not surprising but still a little bit disappointing. Sheth obviously has the skill, but not wanting to go to korea or be in a team house environment, it was obvious he was going a different path to the rest of the team.

Best of luck to all involved
