After a series of unfortunate events, fOu has decided to disband their Dota 2 squad. The news came following Febby, Ranto and Blitz's departure from the team after they were eliminated from Nexon Sponsorship League S2 last week.
Hyeong Seop 'Choya' Lee, coach and manager of fOu, announced on his personal Facebook that his Dota 2 team will be disbanding. The unfortunate news came after the abrupt departure of Yong-Min 'Febby' Kim, Tae-Min 'Ranto' Choi and subsequently William 'Blitz' Lee following their elimination in Nexon Sponsorship League S2, leaving the team with a two-man roster.
Lee stated that the two remaining members Kyung-Min 'Sagun' Lee and Hwangbo 'Anarchy' Jaeho tried their best to fill up the team but their efforts were futile.
fOu, formerly known as FXOpen, was the first Dota 2 team to receive a sponsorship in Korea. They did not disappoint their fans as they tore through their opponents in Nexon Starter League to win $26,000 in cash. They performed rather decently in Nexon Sponsorship League Season 1 and being one of the heavy favourites to win the tournament, they were disappointingly defeated by Startale in the grand final.
"I'm a terrible coach because I got the greatest Dota 2 team (in Korea) but we did not win anything," Lee resented, presumably not considering Nexon Starter League as a tournament with proper challengers.
Lee would like to thank Nexon and the people helping the team throughout their existence. fOu will be focusing fully on Starcraft 2 for now.
