Things to know about the FXOpen e-Sports Invitational Series


First of all, an except from FXOBoSs's blog on why FXO have moved back to Twitch.tv (full blog here):

Sometime today we will be signing a contract with Twitch.tv regarding a partnership.
Now you are going to say “but you said X and now you are doing Y”.
This is the beauty of business. Albeit the response to my original blog wasn’t very pleasant from twitch. Business is business. I have always been a fan of the people from twitch (I flew gunrun to korea remember?) and this hasn’t hurt our personal relationships. And if anything it has strengthened our business relationship.


The new-look FXOpen Invitational Series is really going to be something special. Boasting last year’s GSL finalists, many fan favourites and a high online prize pool, it is set to raise the bar of all past FXOpen e-Sports events.

Over the last 2 months FXOpen e-Sports has been working on a new business idea to boost the growth of its event side of business. Unstable, Boss, Raelcun, frequency and our sole graphic designer, Suhali, have been plugging away at ideas and creating draft products in order to bring something fresh to the Starcraft 2 market.

A month ago, over 50 invites were sent out to teams and players across the globe for the new look FXOpen Invitational series, after a few rejections we have finally found our 32 players to battle it out for first place.

[image loading]


From the player list above, you can see that this event is going to be a good one. Every game will be cast by Raelcun, Unstable, Squiggles and Wolf, as well as the possibility for guest casters. On top of this, we have ramped up our graphical production level to a new high in order to entertain the viewers. We will continue to increase the level of graphical production each event.

You can see a little preview of our new graphics here.

Now there are some things you need to know whilst watching the FIS (FXOpen Invitational Series)

Firstly, be aware that every cent earned from this event goes into our next event. We do not cash in profits from our events. As previously stated the exposure is what we are after. $5000 prize pool is our starting price for the exposure. If we generate more than that we will be increasing the prize pool of the next event. Note: Ad revenue usually takes 2-3 months to receive, so the 6th FIS event will maintain the same prize pool.

FXOpen e-Sports will declare the income generated by the event. It will also provide proof of this income as well as some of the statistics behind the event.

FXOpen e-Sports will play 3 consecutive ads in a row after every game. We encourage you to watch the advertisement if possible as it helps create more advertiser interest in e-sports if the ads are actually viewed. However we understand if you wish to not watch the advertisement. For those who do not wish to watch any advertisements we have another option.
FXOpen e-Sports understands the interest in watching events that are live or being played at the time. However, with the player pool being as highly talented as it is, we feel it is better to cast every single game in the entire bracket so that people do not miss out on their favourite players matches. Unfortunately this requires us to cast from replays. But it does also allow us to increase the production smoothness and quality.

FXOpen e-Sports will be rebroadcasting the event for those who missed the primetime or were watching another event during the broadcast time. The conditions will be the same as if the event were live however it may not appear in the TeamLiquid calendar but will appear in the stream list. Note that during this time, nothing but FIS will be streamed on the FXOpenTV stream (including Boss doing his hair and nails).

FXOpen e-Sports will be offering a subscription for this event. This will be completely optional and you will be able to participate in the following benefits.
  • Receive no advertisements on the stream
  • Ability to chat during peak broadcast time (chat will be limited during periods where we are not able to completely moderate the chat. Subscribers will still be able to chat)

Opportunity to win prizes:
  • 1 x Razer Banshee headset
  • 1 x Razer Spectre mouse
  • 3 x Razer Zerg bag
  • 4 x Signed FXOpen e-Sports jacket of the player or players of your choice
  • 4 x replay packs consisting of 10 replays of your favourite FXOpen e-Sports players. You can choose any player, any specific matchup, or a mix.
    And our major prize is!
  • 1 x FXOpen e-Sports Korean house access pass (for 10 days, includes inhouse food and board but not travel expenses)

We feel that a good cost for the benefits of supporting the event and the chance to win the prizes involved would be $5 USD for a months subscription (the entire event) Let us know what you think!

Prizes will be drawn at the end of each live broadcast (non rebroadcast). Please Note you do not have to be online at that specific time to be eligible to receive the prize.

We look forward to having you watch our event and hope that the event sets a new level for online events.

A chance at 10 days in the FXO house is worth way more than $5 to me since I already have the money to cover travel expenses! O_O

Really looking forward to this tournament!

I think it should go without saying who I'm rooting for, but I'm really excited for this! I'll certainly be chipping in $5 for a chance at all those prizes o.O

Amazing lineup, and disgusting how unexcited TL seems to get for your tournaments.

Will be buying the subscription even if I do not have time watch. and fuck it. I'll make a neogaf thread too and steal all your banners come game day.

Hmm 5$ to get a chance get a signed Oz and Leenock jacket sounds great, Trust Boss and his crew to make things awesome at the start of the year.
