tweet from choya, coach and manager of team fOu


Edit:
These are Choya's long tweets, thanks to the translation by GrazerRinge
+ Show Spoiler +
Starting from 31 December 2013, our Dota 2 Team will disband.

From March till December this year I experienced and learned a lot and had moments to look back on myself.
I want to express deep thanks to Anarchy and Ranto (Dota 2 players) who wanted to stay til the end despite of difficult situation.

Instead of any excuses, I sincerly apologize for my shortcoming as coach that we didnt won despite having the best team and for receiving negative comments.

I think an end is also a new beginning. For now this is the end but in future there will be new challenges.
Those people who always cheered us gave us lot of strenght.

Also i really want to thank the Nexon officials who took care of us for last 8 months!

It seems that I always bring bad news so I leave a short notice on facebook.
It is a pity that it ends like this for those players who went through sufferings with a young coach with many shortcoming for last 3 years.

Starting tomorrow (tweet is from 25.Dec), I will try to transfer Leenock, Lucky, Hurricane, Seed, Tassadar and Gumiho.
In case of Leenock, he already received an offer.

Originally I wanted to announce these informations after the qualification round, but since the players also have to prepare for the future, I inform you in this short notice.

If you have interest in our players, you can contact players directly or if you contact me, I will connect you more easily.

I thank you for the past. For now, I am planning to join the military (mandatory duty as korean citizen).


For those who got angry and upset by my shortcomings, I would be thankful if you can forgive me and resolve it in a good way.

My acknowledgement goes to our fans who loved and supported us for last 3 years.
As I said earlier that an end is a new beginning, so I will look forward to a new beginning.

Thank you very much for supporting fou team!

Welp... I guess it was the most likely that they were the one going down out of all the teams. Maybe it's a good thing for Choya, instead of bleeding off more money and getting into debt or something (no idea about his personal situation) to keep the team alive.

sucks to be right on this. This is some unfortunate news to wake up to on Christmas ;;

they were one of the oldest sc2 teams too..

Well, I suppose the bright side is maybe seeing my boys Leenock and Gumiho in SPL. I would rip my shirt in joy if they both joined IM. Hell, all of FoU could join, they were like my distant 2nd favorite Korean team.

Sad to see fOu go after watching them for 3 years (fOu -> FXO - fOu). Hope the players find a new place they can call home.

I don#t think that's too unexpected just hope the players don't retire but find new teams.

Oh wow.. I really hope all the players can find new teams. So sad to see a team I've loved as much as FXO/fOu disbanding. I just hope we don't lose more good players to retirement. :<

through google translations of his other tweets, it appears choya is trying to encourage and facilitate player transfers; he will also be doing military service after this

not surprised, but a sad news.
Hope Gumi and Leenock can find a good team. I can't see there are teams can receive so many players

The tweet integration thing doesn't work for me, it's weird.
