I will be releasing an official FXO thread in a couple of days explaining our current situation. The NA team disbanding is not the only thing that has occurred.

Hopefully the other thing(s) are more positive. :-/

Just to clarify, my leaving FXO had nothing to do with e-sports. I left FXOpen the organisation as a director due to other reasons. Mostly career related. As such I had to say bye to e-sports. They came hand in hand basically as I wasn't paid to do e-sports and I spent alot of money (about 80k) from my pocket on the project. Bigger/better things career wise came up, so I took them.

I have not remained "in touch" with e-sports really since coming back to Australia but I do check up on things every now and then.

I am sure the guys who are in control of this will let everyone know whats going on.

Peace.

It never really lived in the first place. FXO EU is looking good though and FXO KR is obviously fine too. FXO NA never really had a chance.

seems like professional teams that focus only 1 esport don't last. when i think about teams that have been there for 10years or so all have/had multiple games. sure many starts with just one but they expand.

Well lets be honnest here for a second...
90 % of these players are literally totally unknown...And basically accomplished nothing,yet they still have the priviliege to be on a good and stable structure such as FXO.
To me its only normal for FXO to get rid of this money vacuum,that's what i would have done also.

The basic idea was pretty good,an FXO team for each region was pretty cool ; too bad it didn't really show results for the NA scene.

Don't get me wrong,all of these players are obviously good but maybe they don't quite belong in FXO but in lesser known teams (Neeb being an exeption i guess).

GL to them in the future !

It's a shame to see this happen, I have a lot of friends on the team and I hope they all get picked up personally. It's still sad though.

Hm I didn't know anybody on this team, but Neeb I think. So since I consider myself a pretty hardcore sc2 follower, this does doesn't com too surprising. Sucks for the NA scene though

. Teams supporting lesser known players is important.

I don't really know the names honestly. Then again i am not close to the NA scene.

Hope you guys find another good home there.

Everyone thinks that FXO.NA was being supported heavily.

They were on a mouse-pad salary.

Can't say I didn't see this coming and can't say I'm sorry, although I do feel badly for some of the team members. Their biggest mistake was not taking the one player from LgN that would have brought them publicity and notoriety.

Oh no. I don't really know FXO.NA players but when i saw that i thought about you. I hope you can remain in Esports

That you will find something. Because if they are disbanding, what does it mean for you ?

If you are talking about Kane, then you should know that Kane left LgN way before they were talking about merging with FXO.

I am sad to see this team disband. FXO.NA/LgN Always had a good roster and helped out their players.

I'm going to be releasing a thread soon explaining everything.
And yes, we did try to market the team.
