Impressive list of projects, though you may wanna consider announcing the announcing of announcements before you announce the announcement another time. GL!

Wow, this list seems extremely solid & awesome. If all of them can get carried out, it'll be a pretty huge step towards improving e-Sports.

Wow, very ambitious. Everything sounds great, and I hope it all is successful. Can't wait to hear more details!

This is so completely opposite of the NASL announcement, little hype, clearly organized announcement

We have not released the prize money as yet, but it will be that of GSL or higher (sponsorships are already incoming so we will make a further announcement).

Holy crap. I'm really looking forward to what could be one of the most prestigious tournaments yet held for SC2.

FXOpen e-Sports studio, Kuala Lumpur. We are currently in the process of creating a gaming studio.

A studio will only mean good things. Improved production values will make the matches infinitely more interesting to watch, and it'll be much better than voices talking through Battle.net menus or overlays.

Also, it's awesome to see Wolf being added to the team of casters. I wish him the best, especially since his SC2 casting career is really taking off.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I am not about 'hype' per se. I prefer steady growth. This is why we haven't just opened with a huge massive tournament. I will do a live cast sometime soon explaining the way we function in comparison to the rest of e-sports (minus GSL). It will probably be our first beta production.

This is amazing. I'm excited to see how the TV station/studio plays out.

Awesome that you have a house now as well, I feel like FXO will be an amazing team (not they they already aren't

) in the coming months with all the practice.

This is INCREDIBLE. I would have been blown away if only one of those dot points was the announcement. Keep this up FXO!

It'd be kinda cool if winners of GSL, NASL, FXO would playoff to determine a world champion.

Dude... When a real company gets behind eSports... Holy shit things start to happen.

Amazing announcement, pro-gamers from all over the world have incredible opportunities with the NASL, GSL, ESL, IEM, MLG and now the FXO(SL/Invitational/what have you).

Well, I guess that means FXOBoSS wasn't exaggerating in his interview with Artosis during the Code A qualifiers. Sick, sick news.

I really love how FX is really conducting themselves in a business-like and professional manner. No bullshit. Just cut-throat sharp, refined , well thought out and prepared decision. All the best with this venture.
