I have to congratulate FXO for such business thinking, unless of course Seeker becomes the new manager J, and destroys trust in addition to allegedly turning down sponsorship opportunities for players, (though I doubt FXOboss would be stupid enough to let Seeker use his official e-mail). -__-;; Manager J screwed over my favorite team. I would NEVER become what I despise. | ||

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain- Harvey Dent Though seriously, I love your work and believe you can be an asset to FXO with your skills, I'm not sure exactly how much you'll be able to affect the bottom line, but I know that you are good at what you do. I also believe that you are eithical, but even if I didn't FXOBoss seems to understand at least a bit the idea of chain of command and I'm guessing redundancy so I'm not as worried for FXO, (If I were in charge of an e-sports team I would make sure an important e-mail such as one regarding sponsorships, was either sent to a private e-mail of mine or if not "that big of a deal but still important/important but in an area I don't understand" then at least 2 other subordinates, (or friends if you are desperate/a small organization). Always make sure that the only way for your organization to be sabotaged is by collusion, not by just an individual. I understand it is sometimes an extremely hard rule to follow, but redundancy is of high importance, even in something as simple as retail you would never be happy about the guy who counts the money being the same guy who deposits it. Redundancy is a key rule you learn in business school, (( it was for me at least)). | ||

Yea because he's any worse than certain players on ROOT's roster, current and former... The foreign scene is hilarious in it's resemblance of a high school community. Popularity goes much farther than actual achievement or skill. I'm pretty ambivalent towards Avilo but if FXO picks up those players and decides to leave out Avilo because of popular sentiment, that's a joke. But I guess that's where the foreign scene has been gravitating towards anyways. | ||

The rest in simple terms was just commenting on how I feel FXO is a strong organization that understands business principles and how they likely won't make mistakes of the same type that doomed Slayers. | ||

Masa, tod, vibe, major, slush, tt1... so besides cheesy fitzyhere, and maybe rotterdam because he isn't 100% dedicated to playing please explain who he is better than in the actual PLAYING root line up... Good job to rest of lgn guys, good luck in fxo. | ||

The guy has had "potential" for more than 2.5 years and produced little in the way of competitive event results at hte top level of the game. He is petty and confrontational over silly issues. If you want to protect the "FXOpen" brand then I'd recommend that this guy be given the freedom to "realize his potential" on another team.

The last thing they need is controversy from an LGN team member who will add almost nothing to their brand on an international level. | ||
