Just caught this on Liquipedia and then checked Twitter
source: @FXOFuture
Richard Almand - @FXOFuture
I just joined @FXOpeneSports NA division. I am pretty excited, and I am glad was patient in waiting to join a solid organization. @FXOFuture
Also, according to Liquipedia, Shuttle has been released (previously known as MentalKing)
- November 14th, FXOpen e-Sports releases Shuttle so that he can pursue other opportunities.
- November 15th, FXOpen e-Sports signs Future on to the North American roster.

Future is one of the Best, if not the best NA protoss. He is also someone who taught me most of what I know. I am so happy he found a team that is going to give him the support he derserves.
|
super exciting, Future is an awesome guy :D
|
Good for him, he's a pretty solid player IIRC.

lol wut?
im sorry i dont mean to slam on future but he is far from the best of NA protoss players.
Congrats to him though, I hope that joining up with FXO pushes him to improve his skill and achieve whatever goals he has set forth for himself.
|
 no shuttle. Well he did pretty good in the OGN prelims so maybe a korean team will scoop him. I was really hoping to play with him though. T_T
|
Best of luck too future and shuttle.

Gogo ex teammatw fighting!

well this just dampened my mood...
I was planning a releasing a huge TL thread this week (or next) announcing the official NA roster T-T T-T T-T
|
Congrats the FXO organization is great. Although the NA roster is pretty mediocre even when only compared to NA teams. Hopefully they have more acquisitions planned.

Not quite the best... but he's definitely good. I was actually surprised to see him join the team this early since they're still getting formed up but I imagine he's doing it for the long haul. Good luck to him and hopefully FXO puts some serious efforts into their NA roster~

The goal of the NA squad is not to be "the best in NA" but more of a proving ground for players to then be shipped over to the kr house eventually.

That's a cool approach.

FXO have really stepped up their presence outside of Korea, it's pretty great to see. Best of luck!

Yeah Future! I'm glad to have you on board man.

Not sure this was ever made clear, but good to know now. Gives people a good starting point.

Wow people are really dumb, how can you say that? He hasn't made a single tournament appearance.

Can't say it often enough: it's good that we have FXO in the scene and that they are investing into talent! gj and gl to Future.

improve faster I suppose, if you put in the proper amount of work in the right environment, odds are you will get better way faster

Future is a very deserving player for this I'm glad to see him get picked up by FXO! FXO's NA division is looking awesome I can't wait to see what 2013 has in store for them

Good pickup Future is pretty solid, I wish he would practice with me more though

I don't know, I would rank the likes of Axslav, TT1 and Huk above him. Hopefully Future shows us why you think he's so good.

grats future, good to see some teams still trying to develop the NA scene.

Well...
Yeah.

Erm, I like future and all... but he's far from the best NA protoss. HuK, TT1, State, Minigun, PuCK, Axslav, and Insur, just to name a few, are all far better.
Congrats to future regardless!

gogo ex team mate FGfuture!!

Huge congratulations to Richard (and FXO)
He really deserves an opportunity like this.

Nice stuff from FXO. Sad about Shuttle, though.

I appreciate the support. I will be the first to admit there are better protoss than me in NA, but I can compete and take games off of any of them. I will continue to work hard!

Probably because future humbly admitted that he wasn't the best NA and then paradise was talking shit. I would have done the same in future's position.

Agreed. Not exactly the highest road to take but future is a guy that definitely only defends himself when he needs to be defended, not the type to talk shit at all unprovoked.
Awesome to see Rich joining such a respected organization again. Best of luck
|
FUTURE! I haven't seen him stream recently which has made me sad, he is really fun to watch and one of my favorite streamers. Just a straight up bosstoss.
|
Ever since Day[9] recommended his stream, I've kept an eye out for it every so often. Future is such a cool guy!
Shuttle's changed teams so much recently... come back to NSH Shuttle, it needs you! TT

I don't get that logic. So someone calls you out saying you (in this case Future) are not a strong player and just because Future posts a replay of him winning over paradise that somehow negates what he said?
Whether you post a replay or not doesn't change paradise's true statement. I actually think Future showed his true colours by responding in probably the poorest way possible.

I must have missed the part where posting a replay of someone losing (then saying it was "fun") = defend yourself in a friendly way. Not that it really matters in the end I just don't care enough to continue this discussion.

Oh, nice Future! Not sure how I missed this. Used to like seeing you get some wins back in teamleagues/clanwars, and still catch your stream from time to time. Hopefully you're able to get some good practice in and opportunities to play in more tourneys.

Future said he could take games off of top protosses, Paradise said "not really", and Future backs up his claim with a replay of him beating Paradise. Stop making it out to be Future trying to ridicule someone for no reason, lol... When you are called out in an utmost rude manner you should not be expected to reply in "a friendly way".

hehe gl future! you deserve it! / PiQLiQ

Good to see the FXONA lookin' lively.

Future is master of B&B. Good luck with the new team!
FXOTheroy still best NA toss

Congrats Rich, you deserve this.
OH, and ignore the haters, you're obviously doing something right

From the games i've played with you I knew that you had a lot of work to do before you were in the shape you COULD be in. Your improving really fast and getting closer and closer every day to making it to where you were. Congrats on the new team and I'm excited to play you on ladder a few more times and play some sick TvP's vs You :D
FUTURE FIGHTINGGGGG :D
|
Congrats Richard! I knew you'd eventually find an awesome organization for how much dedication you put into this game!
|
Congrats Rich, after all this time, we're finally teammates :D I'm excited!
