Now that my initial shock is over I guess I'll give a real comment.

I don't get this, no offense to FXO but I don't think they're able to offer Seed a better training environment from IM. If that's the case then we can either assume Seed no longer felt comfortable on IM for whatever reason or he's getting a significant amount of money for this transfer. Either way I don't like it, really sad about this.

I think if Seed was ever going to return to relevancy he would do it on IM, not on another eSF team.

Seed's been on IM for a long time and things haven't been working well for him for a long time. If things aren't working out, it's smart to make a change. I don't think he has anywhere to go but up, it's worth a shot.

He doesn't want to be 5th-choice protoss anymore on a team that is so protoss-heavy, on a small team like FXO he can very realistically become #1. Plus FXO have an excellent GSTL pedigree that, if he's a part of a championship run, could jump-start his career again.


I'm sure it will be good for him, at least in terms of money, seeing as FXO bought out his contract.

It's just a bit hard for me to see someone who has been on one of my favorite teams for so long leave, I was watching live when he won GSL and Mvp and Nestea went into his booth to welcome him to the GSL champions club. He won IPL TAC 3 for IM, he was the only one who could beat Taeja at that time. It just stings for me to see him go after everything that has happened. Even if he's no longer as important for IM he was still one of the guys I wanted to see with the rest of the team at the studio when they went to play.

For sure, it can be shocking to see a long-time integral member of a team leave. But I think it's for the right reasons, and every party here -- IM, FXO, and Seed -- stands to potentially gain.

Seed will be eligible to play in the next GSTL match, right?


Unfortunately no, roster lock rules means he has to wait until next season.


I thought rosters could be updated on the 25th of every month!

Very nice pickup, chance for a fresh start and added motivation for seed that may see him reach new heights!

As a FXO fan, it's a good news .
And anyway the IM bench is sooooo deep that it don't matter too much for them.
They already have squirte,yonghwa and first as successful Hots protoss, + losira and yoda.

And now FXO will have a deeper bench, with sc, Seed, Gumiho, leenock and hurricane (sorry thebest and lucky :'( ) as regular players.

As far a "player improving" goes, I don't see why it would be worse on FXO than on IM, they have a dedicated coach too, and as seed haven't been doing that well lately, it may be a new fresh start for him

WHAT THE FUCK??? I love Seed but this just feel wrong. Similar feeling when Startale acquired ZeNEX.

Good luck Seed. You are still my favourite player no matter what team you play on.

Seed is one of the few koreans with a personality. I hope he can regain his strength in FXO.

Well, this came out of nowhere! Sounds like a good partnership... now with Leenock and Seed, FXO is really formidable.
