-The imba.FXOpen partnership was instead done through the Russian branch of the company, and management separate from FXOBoSs and FXOUnstable.
-There apparently have been issues... and now imba is splitting from the Russian FXOpen branch, but the top players are staying.
-And this is where it gets confusing, because they have now re-labelled themselves "FXO" even though they are still not affiliated with the Korean team, and the few remaining foreigners we have.
-So there are now two teams calling themselves "FXO" who are completely separate entities

I am so confused right now, and I'm literally the only person from our side of FXOpen esports awake right now... great

Why don't you guys just merge the two?


Like I said I'm the only person from our side of FXOpen awake right now, and I'm not the proper person to be commenting on that.

The whole thing sounds like a mess to me.

Perhaps we'll see FXOru?

Keeping the same tag seems like it'd be to confusing, but at the same time merging the two probably wouldn't be ideal.

So instead of imba.FXO and FXO as two teams under separate management, we now have teams imba, FXO and FXO all managed separately?

This is really confusing.

Doesn't really seem like such a big deal to me... I mean, Ok, the imba guys weren't happy and have split... But if FXO Russia is still sponsoring the rest of the players, it'd sort of make sense to just incorporate them? Or not.. and have FXO.(playername).RU or something?

imba isn't a pro team so you don't have to worry about that anymore.

I'm surprised the relationship hasn't had an issue before ie in a team league. it shouldn't be too hard to tell the euros apart from the Koreans/foreigner that where the original fxo apart.

I'm sure this is going to be the lowest intensity esports drama of the year though.

English is not my native language. If I did any grammar mistakes, I would be glad if you PMed me about it, so I could correct it. No need to be passive agressive jerk about it.

Edit: sorry if you was sarcastic about announcement itself

He's being sarcastic because the announcement itself is confusing, your English was fine. The announcement itself is just very strange.

Well I think I understand, they should just call the russian team FXOru like Postman said. They are russians and it would easily help people when they want to talk about one of the team.

I was completely unprepared for this without the announcement of this announcement.

Either the russian FXO and the main FXO teams merge or the Russian FXO branch team changes their team tag.

The only logical conclusion now is to resurrect the old fOu brand for the FXO branch that we all known and love.

Viva the asdfOu time
Thank God and gunrun.

Why split ways? i'm very confused by this idea that teams do better on their own, huge conglomerates do better it seems like. Like Quanti-startales and QIM.
User was warned for too many mimes.

Ok now we need the new FXO to partner with IM so that we can have fouFXO and IMFXO. This mess sounds fun.

The whole imba.FXO and regular FXO always confused me.

I wish you guys would rebrand both teams. FXO-RU and FXO-KR.
