The korean team should be able to keep FXO as their tag. I feel the russian based team needs a different tag.

Obvious solutions:

1. Merge them.
2. RFXO and KFXO
3. FXO and make the Korean one fOu again, since none of the original FXO guys remain except like Slog.

Team Razor is kind of like TEAM U.S.A.

They are both everyone and no one at the same time, and you really only here about them when something good happens to a member of Team Razor.

Team FXO is more like an Octupus of ESPORTS. Technically its one team, but for legal and physical reasons it is functionally split into seperate "arms" that connect to single point. In this regard, FXO gains the ability to lose an arm to fend off predators (drama, legal action, associations of a dubious nature, etc.) and then regrow it under new name. Also, if they are scared, they can shoot ink and escape into the murky depths.

Wouldn't it benefit both sides to merge, since the European players might want to train in KR and the Korean players might want to attend tournaments in EU? Seems like it would be better for one team to have an international presence rather than splitting your team up into segments based on region. Even if it's a little bit messy logistically, since you probably have separate staffs, I hope that a merger is possible because I think that's what would be best for the players.

Did anyone else see that thread Strelok made, asking what's different about Korean Terrans and why they are so successful in the GSL? I think it would be awesome if he had more of an opportunity to learn the difference in person.

Confusing.... never heard of this partnership with a russian team.

But hey it makes sense... there is no FXO russia team. Only FXOpen korean and foreign.

ROFL.
Also, what...
This is really strange, kinda funny, and possibly bad for the new (old?), ex-imba (now ba?) team.

I saw a lot of great stuff out of slivko (happyzerg) and if he spends any time with leenock hes going to wreck the eu scene like no one else. I'm talking 4 base to 2 base zvp levels of crazy, oh wait both of the extra 2 base's are gold base's.


Slivko and HappyZerg are not the same person....
Slivko isn't even in FXO, hes a roxkis member and Happyzerg is called FXOSlavik.

I guess what it comes down to is how FXO manages their worldwide sponsorships. So far it seems the various FXO branches in different countries are doing their own thing and there is no central approach on the worldwide corporate level.

Good thing you actually got a clue about the EU scene...happyzerg is not slivko...he's slavik.

Well if its 2 different branches of fxo and 2 diff teams they should just call one fxo.ru and the other fxo. Its not that uncommon for bigger players to have 2 teams in a competition who are run with different management and sometimes different sponsors even.

I believe that the implication here plus knowledge of this before it developed is as follows. Please keep in mind I'm not a spokesperson here so this might not be 100% accurate:

Okay so as it was tried to be explained in the OP:

-the FXOpen you guys all associate with the Korean team, and the foreigner team was never fully associated with the guild of imbalance.
-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 on our side of FXOpen esports.
-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


Raelcun is boss, this situation is confusing I understand it but its still dumb.
