Life was only 15 when he won his first GSL wasn't he? Life is only 16 atm. Age does not mean a thing in terms of sc skilzzz. Yup. Same with Flash. Leenock was also 15 when he won his first MLG championship.
Leenock was 16 when he won Providence, not that it's a big difference.

the reason people mention age is because it really impressive that hes so good at a young age and that he is already on a team where alot of pro are around 18 -25. meaning that if he plays his cards right he can have at the least a 5 to 10 year career (hence all the flash jokes) where the 18 to 25 year olds cant because of school and there future.now there are some players like white ra and nestea but there are only like 5 players that can last that long.and grubby too!

damn not the same showtime. I like the addition of younger players though.

And here I am over 20 and only low Diamond. Congratulations FXO!

I feel like the 15 year old idea is good, but he needs to be put into strict tutelage under another pro. Don't rush him and he could be FXO's greatest asset . THE SECRET WEAPON.

Except being good at a young age is even easier than it is being good at 18-25 because you can just play all day without any real consequence (other than social life) - kids have more free time than college students. It's honestly more impressive to me to see college students who are very skilled at the game like Suppy because they have to balance school and gaming and still reach a very high level.

Yeah same here. Whatever happened to that Showtime anyways? I'm pretty sure I can recall some games of his from WoL beta, I think he played Zerg.

Hm I find it weird that FXO does like no advertising for themselves, don't announce new players on teamliquid for NA/EU/KR. I sometimes forget about FXO because you hear so little about them :/.
Good luck to them that just joined!

Most Korean teams don't make announcements about roster changes unless they are extremely significant. That's why so many team movements are (seem to be) broken on twitter, often by chance. It's really, really annoying. It's also why we're not sure if quite a number of players have retired or left teams and stuff when they aren't fielded in the GSTL for example without a lot of digging.

Being 15 makes you really good at SC.

These are amatuer players, have no results, never been in a team house ect, its as if EG or ROOT made a TL post for two high masters players joining their roster. however our current sponsorship's are based on things other than your traditional e-sports "impressions" for sponsors. so it is not a priority at the moment to put it all on our site, especially when we need to revamp the site in general. However last week we did start building a new website to be launched in a month or so since we will be announcing some new sponsorship's that do run via this model.

Good luck to them that just joined! I can't announce new players for FXO.NA since an announcement thread for FXO.NA was never made to begin with. I am currently working on one but our graphics designer is always busy so it keeps getting pushed back.
