|
nice! hope they find some good they find some sick hidden talents to reveal!

I think it'd be great if cArn gave it a try. He's been trying so hard on his own, maybe with team support he could finally make it?

Good luck on your draft, hoping you find some good talent

This is great, actually allows the opportunity for new blood to prove themselves.

i doubt hes even close to skill required for qualifying for Code A, also hes too inconsistent and with quite a background

They are looking for no-names, which means they are completely unknown.
edit: It's not on the OP, but on FXOBoSs' recent blog:
FXOBoSs
We are currently scouting 3-5 more players, from Korea. And will be signing them soon however they will not be ‘already known’ players.
As our past has shown, we prefer to grow players than to buy them out. We now have a few of our growing players maturing, such as tree, tear and whale. All are very young and very talented and you will be seeing them very soon.

LastShadow is actually pretty good bro. He just doesn't get the exposure he needs, have you ever tuned into his stream at all?

yes i've seen and played against him, but you were missing my point.

LastShadow said he'd never want to be on FXO. He didn't say why on stream, but he did say he definitely didn't want to join them.

Its because he and I do not see eye to eye.

Whoa, the Boss is in da house!
If there's anything you want me to add to OP, please let me know.
|
Not much to add. We are just looking for people who are dedicated to the game and have the potential to be the best.
|
Nice one FXO, good luck desrow ³³

So I could become FXOSnibbles like Marc said?

I think you need to be above diamond to be able to attend the Code A qualifiers.
|
Hnnnng why don't I live in the magical land of Korea?
|
FXO does it right. I'll continue to root for them for as long as they exist :D gl!

The ex-Eclypsia players?
SloG left FXO for Eclypsia...

Is this for just Koreans/just foreigners or are they looking for both?
|
You weren't reading the OP.
It says exactly the following: "Able to compete in the next GSL code A qualifiers."
You can only compete in the GSL Code A qualifiers if you are in Korea and have a masters+ account above a certain cutoff.
In other words, they are not particularly looking for established players, but are not excluding those, or Koreans, or foreigners either.
|
you need to be top 200 masters in korea or gm to compete in qualifiers
|

I don't think this applies to foreigners actually. But if you're not masters in korea you probably wouldn't qualify anyway

lastshadow and/or scarlett would be awesome!

no it wouldn't. Already answered that lastshadow don't go along well with FXOboss.
|
FXO has been good with picking up unknown talent in the past, so best of luck to them on this
|
|
|
Would personally like to see MajOr apply, I hope he gets a big break soon
GL to all applicants, a great oppertunity no doubt

Best of luck to your team, and hopefully you find some great raw talent!

The players that left eclypsia?
|
I always liked how FXO takes unknowns and develops them into top players. Good luck to them.

Did I miss something? I thought majOr got released by checksix because he had some offer he couldn't turn down.
And nothing against FXO, but they pretty much bought their team. What development of unknowns have there been? Isn't most of FXO just former fOu members?
|
Some might findthis recruiting process amateurish, but in reality it can't be more professional. Best of luck to FXO.
|
Good luck to FXO! Can't wait to see who you guys tap

FXO took over fou yes, but if they havent fou would have disbanded. I havent seen FXO having picked up any known players since they took over them

According to the first page, some notables are Tree, Tear, and Whale.

looks cool, it would be nice to pickup a struggling teamless foreigner like cArn or desRow

Me neither, they're one of few teams that doesnt do that.

I think FXO's been great developmentally. Leenock really matured under the wing of FXO. Whale is also pretty good.

Cmon GuineaPig, this is your chance!

Also, fOu has always brought up their own members. I think that's what they are referring to Choya doesn't consider former fOu and current FXO to be any different. It's the same team, just different name/sponsor.

Please let it be Scarlett... Please let it be Scarlett... Please let it be Scarlett.

Good luck, hope you find some great potential.

For god sakes pick up lastshadow. He wants to live in korea, in a team house, and he will push terran in new directions.

Also ls bm'd the hell out of one of their old trainees (ID was START iirc) on ladder a few months back, doubt he'd get on the team if word of that got back to Choya :-/

they should pick up Lyn, I wanna see him play sc2 :<
|
Maybe the people who just left Eclypsia will join

This makes me wish, much like everyday, I was actually good at the game.

This is awesome. Guess they are looking more for Koreans though and not foreigners? Also, FXOTear, FXOTree, FXOWhale. What names!!

Almost as good as FXOVoidray and FXOXD

fxo scarlett, artist, desrow, slog

Good luck, love the FXO videos. Boss is an insightful guy!

He did, then the party in question made a significant u-turn and rejected MajOr, leaving him teamless for the past few months

Too bad for the lastshadow / FXOBOSS issue. I would like him to get a nice team.Atleast Day9 is helpinh him getting known a bit more.
Good luck FXO ! I hope you don't lose any other good players after Oz.

FXOFOX. Make it happen, universe. Someone nameswap to FOX right now.
|
Boss, all you have to do is ask me. : /
|
Compete in the next Code A Quals.
I wonder if they're referring to June or August. Kinda short notice if it's June.
|
So, if one guy playing random shows up, does he take the slot for each race?
|
FXO in my experience has the best track record of taking Code B scrubs into world class players, I'm excited to see who they pick out of it.
|
I always love to see teams pick up those unknown or up and coming players! I look forward to seeing who ends up geting picked up
|
Pick me! I can probably qualify for Code F

FXOVoidray is really good, but I think XD went into military service.
(I really like Voidray)

Guess Zenex are going to lose some members...

good move by FXO, they really need some new blood for the team.
|
I hope slog and boss dont have hard feelings. Also, Desrow is probably the one that needs it the most. You could hear it in his voice, and when he said in his blog. He needs to do well in Code A qualifiers and get a team. Also, once teams see how good major really is they will realize that he is the best or 2nd best foreigner terran

Obligatory FXODay9 post.
Now that I got it past everybodys system.
Guineapig would be a good fit and he is teamless now
