FXOpen e-Sports is a competitive gaming division of the forex trading company FXOpen. Its StarCraft II team split into three rosters: a Korean roster, comprised mostly of former For Our Utopia players, a European roster, comprised mostly from the Guild of Imbalance clan that was previously known as imba.FXOpen,[1] and a North American roster, comprised mostly of former Team Legion members.[2] They participate as three different teams in various team leagues, but nevertheless represent the same team.

[edit] Overview

In early December 2010, FXOpen, Forex Trading Company, announced their intention to own and manage a competitive StarCraft II professional team. This most recent branch of FXOpen, dubbed "FXOpen e-Sports", was formed not only to host and sponsor events like the FXOpen Path of Ascension, but to support a competitive team with a view to furthering e-Sports.[3] The team began with a SEA/Oceania focus as team owner BoSs worked for Forex's FXOceania division. FXO has since expanded to Korea, Europe, and most recently North America.
