FXOpen expands by absorbing Legion Gaming

In an effort to continue growing the FXOpen e-Sports brand, FXOpen has absorbed Team Legion/The Legion Gaming Community. We are excited about the solid foundation this will bring to the current FXOpen as we continue our expansion in eSports. With this absorption, The Legion sc2 squad will become the North American Starcraft 2 squad for FXOpen will continue to broaden our horizons in the North American eSports scene. Due to the experience that Legion has in the League of Legends scene, we are also now in the process of building a LoL roster from the ground up to represent FXOpen.

FXOpen is proud to be working with the former Legion staff and players as we move forward into bigger and better things in the future, and we hope that you will support our team.

Daniel 'Unstable' Siddel, FXOpen e-Sports COO said:
The legion community and staff are a very dedicated and passionate group of people, I look forward to working with them as they help provide the ability go get a lot of the things FXOpen always wanted to do but couldn't due to resource limitations. I see many great things to come in the very near future

Elliot 'Darigaz' Smith, Team Legion COO said:
For the past year our team and community has developed and grown beyond our initial expectations. Despite our LoL team disbanding due to personal issues, the rest of us are very happy to be joining such a credible organization as FXOpen eSports.

We will also be answering any questions you might have about the announcement, so just ask here.

FAQ:

What is the current FXO.NA Roster
- Derek 'TheoRy' Travisano
- Alyssa 'AuRora' Goose
- Jasper 'Power' Chou
- Matthew 'Karmy' Munholland
- Choi 'Shuttle' Sung Jin

We will be looking at expanding this roster slowly over time

Ok to make things clear. We absorbed an organisation.. Not a team.
That is, media, web design, awesome translators (hello seeker) and a bunch of good guys with great goals.
Some things that we lacked as an organisation have now been filled entirely by this absorbing allowing us to further expand.

Of course, people might be disappointed by the "NA Roster" but the purpose of absorbing LgN is not just players. Its organisational.

I hope this clarifies some of the "does not make sense" posts.

Ye I feel like that was a pretty big oversight in the OP. :D

Pretty easily TLPD'able though, thats what I ended up doing.
