Tod's nowhere near best foreign protoss I'd say - Huk and Nani at least are probably better. Heck, I reckon White-ra might be better than tod.

Lets hope that aLive and Oz become like HerO and Tajea and improve instead of declining like other Koreans who join foreign teams (ahem JYP, Rain, Puma, Nada, etc).
I am really hoping that their management is as good as Liquid's.

From my viewer's perspective, I like the move because I'll hopefully get to see more of Oz. I hope it benefits him too.. Really dunno about FXO though.

I dont know what you are talking about. Rain is constantly doing well in MLG and other tournaments he enters. Before he went to Fnatic he actually was laughed about as a cheesy noob. Today people respect him as a solid player. He never was MVP or Nestea level, but he is not on the decline.

And please dont talk about NaDa as if he ever played SC2 seriously. He got by with the little he trained at the start of SC2 because he is NaDa, but players caught up and the competition is way harder now. So no matter where NaDa plays. As long as he doesnt take the game serious and starts training full time, he will never post better results than at the beginning.

Yeah, I really like Oz (my second fav player) but I'm a bit conflicted as to what to think about it now that he's joined fnatic (one of my less favourite teams) and over this little controversy with hwanni to boot.
I'll probably root for him in individual leagues and for him to all-kill in team leagues hahah

Oz Know what is good for him.. Maby Fxo dont wanna send him at tournaments dunno , but he say that...

"The main reason why I decided this transfer is because of the guarantee of my participating in multiple foreign tournaments. In the past, Fnatic's Counter Strike team had attended in many foreign tournaments and I am excited of such numerous attendance of foreign tournaments as well."

fnatic has a really scary line up right now:

Oz
ToD
Moon
aLive
NightEnD
ByuL
Rain

Now, whilst I was recovering, the board of FXOpen took over the e-sports operations until recently, and some things have changed.

Firstly, FXOpen e-Sports will only be sending players to events when other sponsors are involved in subsidising the travel. The reason behind this is mostly because it is expensive, e-Sports aren’t our target market for advertising but a completely different business, and on top of that, alot of events prize money does not justify the cost of sending players. This was not a decision of mine, but a decision of the board (I was the only no vote).

I saw this coming from FXOpen. Their budget is similar to that of the other korean teams which is quite small. Every time Polt comes home with $ he is essentially funding his way to the next event. I definately see FXOpen focusing on winning GSTL, GSL, and the new OGN leagues.

White-Ra is an amazing role model no doubt about it, but he's not on the same level as guys like SaSe, ToD, HuK and Naniwa really.
