Context:

Seed no longer wanted to be with LG-IM. He felt that he wasn't going to accomplish anything else if he stayed there. With Incredible Miracle's incredible Protoss lineup, it was near impossible for Seed to shine through anymore.
Seed contacted Choya and negotiations began. All FXO members were thrilled to hear that Seed would be joining the team and welcomed him with open arms. Seed himself was very excited to join FXO. This is pretty much a fresh start for him. He told Choya that he feels that he can become a top player once again. He just needed a change of environment and a new source of motivation and determination.

Seed moved out of the LG-IM team house over 2 months ago and moved in to the FXO team house.
Choya deliberately did not release the news early because a) he's not in WCS right now and b) he's not eligible to play for FXO in GSTL either. So getting the news out ASAP was not really a high priority since Seed wasn't really relevant in the WCS/GSL scene at that moment.

Welcome to FXO Seed. I very much look forward to working with you ^^

Seed's Fan Club: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=340000


I'm happy to see that it was what I imagined. Not really a team poaching a hyped up player (hi EG), but more a player wanting to change his environnement. As a FXO fanboy I'm thrilled to see if Seed will grow again as a champion in his new environnement .

Presumably they'll be picking up Jjakji from NSH and Fruitdealer will be coming out of retirement to complete a trifecta of irrelevant WoL champs.

GL Seed!!!
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

I completely agree with the decision for Seed.. I mean IM is a stronger team, but still - better be an A-Teamer in a B-Team rather than be a B-Teamer in an A-Team..

It was obvious that some of the Protosses would be better of finding another team.. So glad for Seed, hope he makes it..

Calling FXO a B-Team is so wrong.

Good luck Seed, you will be missed

FXO has failed entirely to market the success of Leenock. Very unimpressed with their eSports division.

FXO is definitely not a B team. Last year they won 2 out of the 3 GSTLs. They have players in Code S, and even the players they have that aren't in the GSL are a serious threat, like Tear. Not to mention that Leenock is an MLG winning machine.

Perhaps this will rejuvenate Seed's motivation and passion for the game? I would think that having won a GSL would make him hungry to clean up on some foreign tournaments or something of the like. Surely he has seen how much money MC has made in all the non-GSL tourneys that he has either won or placed high in!

On the other hand, I can imagine that once you've won the hardest and most prestigious tournament there is maybe you feel like there are no more challenges for you. In either case I think this was another great move for FXO and I look forward to seeing whats in store for both FXO and Seed.

Perhaps, but I've always regarded FXO as an organization that markets the team first and foremost. I think that's a good thing.
