22 May 2013 - Since its inception, FXOpen e-Sports has taken pride in our ability to develop our players and achieve success through dedication and teamwork. We believe in providing a solid foundation for our players and allowing them to focus on self-improvement and achieving the highest level of play. We also believe in showing quality and entertaining games for our fans. Time and time again, our team training atmosphere has enabled a path to success for our players in both individual and team tournaments.

Today, we are proud to announce a new addition to our team and family. Our most recent addition is a player that is no stranger to high profile matches and will no doubt make himself and his teammates stronger. He also comes with a trophy that we did not yet have: a GSL championship.

Please join us in welcoming the newest player in our line-up, the GSL champion and always entertaining Ahn Sahng Won [안상원] – FXOSeed!

Seed comes to the FXOpen Korea team from LG-IM: his contract had not expired, but after discussions with both Seed and LG-IM, we were eager to buy out his contract and welcome him with open arms. He has been competing as a StarCraft 2 progamer since 2011. One of only two Protoss players to ever win a GSL championship, he is known for his intelligent and innovative play style. Fans may remember his pioneering use of hallucination to fake tech routes in Wings of Liberty and his unique PvP builds during his strong 4-1 GSL championship victory over SK.MC in GSL 2012 Season 3.

While things have been quiet for Seed as of late, we are confident that he can regain his top form in a fresh training environment surrounded by supportive teammates and coaches. He looks to follow in the footsteps of his teammate FXOsC, who was able to get back into tournament shape shortly after joining the team, all-kill Axiom-Acer in GSTL, and qualify directly into the WCS Korea Up/Down matches.

We are thrilled that Seed has joined the FXOpen family and we look forward to helping him accomplish his goals. Please show FXOSeed your support and excitement during this change in his progaming career!
