That's a kinda big blow to FXO to be honest, and the SC2 scene. Such a shame...

Real talk, they weren't going anywhere and tried hard to be successful for 2 years and couldn't make it, so they're moving on with their lives. Yeah It's sad if you're a fan of them but It's not a big blow to the sc2 scene at all.

Good luck to the players with whatever they do next.

is this becuase they didn't get through the code A qualifiers? i mean, it why would they try to qualify, knowing they were going to retire?

Well, FXO have been bringing in new players into their team for a long time. They have a healthy number of players. Grubby's videolog showed they had about 15 or so players?

I guess another failed code a qualifier and the uprising of kespa players made them realize, it's futile at that point.
oh, hai

I think so, FXOTear said in his interview he would have retired if he didn't pass those preliminaries

They obviously wouldn't retire... if they qualified.

They basically tried for one last hurrah and it didn't amount to anything. So it's just realistic they retire after trying for 2 years especially with KeSPA now on the scene.

Probably. Tear actually had the same mindset going into the Code A qualifiers judging from his interview, frustrated that he just couldn't qualify for over 2 years and giving it one last go. Tear qualified, these three didn't. Sad stuff, but that's the way it goes.

Damn it... I used two they's.... Can OP please edit that to say "that they"? Choya posted it before I could proofread. Although, I probably should have proofread before posting....

Also, to people wondering why they retired:

Those three felt like they wouldn't be able to do any better even if they transitioned to HotS. They also lost interest in the game altogether. In the end, they made a decision that what would be best for them.

Wow, Tear is a really good player (carries FXO in teamleagues alongside Gumiho, Leenock and Lucky).

There must be something up with FXO.
