FXOpen, in partnership with the e-Sports Federation is proud to announce a move into our third esoprts title Dota2. With an already highly active team in Starcraft and an up and coming amateur league of legends team, FXOpen has chosen to move into DOTA 2 as it is quickly rising in the e-Sports scene.



After winning Starcraft 2 2012 Hot 6ix GSTL Seasons 2 and 3 back to back, FXOpen prepares to use their newly formed team in the upcoming DOTA 2 to become a top contender in e-Sports. DOTA 2 is currently being prepared for launch in Korea by Nexon and is already causing a boom in China, South east Asia, North America and Europe.



DOTA 2 is produced by valve and is a sequel to the Warcraft 3 custom map DOTA Allstars. Icefrog, the developer of DOTA allstars, was involved in development and with a one million dollar prize pool tournament being held annually, DOTA 2 is securing its position in the e-Sports scene.



FXOpen DOTA2 team consists of ‘March’ Park, Tae won, ‘Devilelf’ Kim, Jeong Ki, ‘Sagun’ Lee, Kyung Min, ‘Bangfish’ Kim, Byung Cheon and with ‘Hell’ Kwon, Jae Hwan acting as playing coach, it is a a team of five. Out of these players, Devilelf was a national representative at WCG 2012 DOTA2 while March was a national representative in WCG 2009 DOTA Allstars.



FXOpen Korea's head coach Hyoung Seop Lee said “our new DOTA2 members have held the title of national representative and are some of the best Korea has to offer” and “I am glad to be joined by top players who share the same vision as our organisation and look forward to competing in events both in korea and abroad”.

@FXOChoya's Tweet



Hello this is FXO's head coach Choya

Our team recently formed a DOTA2 team.

We are so happy and excited to start competing in another game.

The team will have playing coach Hell leading the likes of national representatives March and Devilelf as well as Sagun and Bangfish. We plan to recruit more players who are currently playing overseas at the moment.

You can be sure they will give it their all and practice as much as possible to post results at both national and international tournaments.

We sincerely hope you support our new team as much as you have supported our Starcraft 2 team and we promise you will not be disappointed.

Choya better not cut his commitments to SC2 too much... he does have a 2-GSTL winning team under his wing. On March 29 2013 16:34 opterown wrote:

It's pretty likely GOM is getting a Dota 2 league at this point. There were ads about how they're streaming Dota 2 events of some sort soon. It's pretty likely GOM is getting a Dota 2 league at this point. There were ads about how they're streaming Dota 2 events of some sort soon.

edit: " We plan to recruit more players who are currently playing overseas at the moment.

This means they're making an international team? would be cool for some teams that are looking for a sponsor like eosin or ddota?

Pretty cool news overall. @RealHeyoka | DreamHack StarCrafty Man
