The FXOpen tournament has reached 37 entries, with a mix of Asia, North America and Europe's best. 23 more are to be invited, as well as four open qualifier spots.
Out of the so far 37 invited players, the Old Generations players "MC", "SuperNova", "Zenio" and "J" are the last ones in. They will join up with their team mates "HerO" and "TheStC" who will be defending the championship and runner-up title from last season.
The upcoming $1,500 USD prize pooled event also include the Team GosuGamers players Mattias "Naugrim" Ottosson and Patrick "iNfeRnaL" Möller, the latter being invited just yesterday.
- "Naugrim did fairly well in the last FXOpen and basically lost in the WB, because the tournament was played so late and he made severe mistakes in his match. This time the tournament starts 2 hours earlier and we will make sure that he'll be at the top of his game for that day," says Marko Karacic, player manager of Team GosuGamers.
- "Infernal on the other hand has just recently started playing again and is trying to get back in shape. Being in such a stacked tournament is a real honor for the team and for the player itself. For Patrick this will be the first big event for some time, so participating in it is a good thing, in the way that he needs to get used to such an competetive environment again," said Marko.
The very star studded player list also see six Prime players, including "Check", "MarineKing", "BBongBBong", "Polt", "Hannibal" and "Nettie".
The two qualifiers to fill the four open spots in the event will be played on March 18 and 19.
