2011 International E-sports Festival (IEF) due to open in October
![[image loading]](http://www.fomos.kr/board/issue/1298343834_1.jpg)
The 2011 International E-sports Festival will be held from October 7, 2011 to October 9 at the Yong-in Sports Complex, with Yong-in City acting as host and the Ministry of Culture and Gyeong-gi Province participating as sponsors.
This year, 200 players representing a total of 20 countries will participate, with fierce competition expected in the games Starcraft: Brood War, Warcraft III, and Special Forces.
The preliminaries will be held from July 1 to August 21 and the elimination round for national qualifiers will be held on August 27 and the 28th. From October 7th to October 9th, the national representatives will play each other.
With a total of $58,000 in prize money, the player taking 1st place in Brood War and Warcraft III will win $10,000, 2nd place will take $5,000, and 3rd place will take $2,000. On the other hand, the winner in Special Forces will win $14,000, 2nd place will win $7,000, and 3rd place will win $3,000.
Aside from the professional gaming competition, other events such as amateur e-sports elimination games, Yong-in Cyber Festival, Yong-in Superstar Audition, National Top King competition (T/N: “top” as in the toy that you spin – this is a traditional game in Korea), and Digital Culture Festival will happen at the same time, making for a colorful, event-filled IEF this year.

IEF Press Conference Q & A
![[image loading]](http://www.fomos.kr/board/interview/1298344434_1.jpg)
In order to promote the gaming culture and the national e-sports industry to younger demographics, the corporate organizing committee of the IEF (Organizing committee chairman Nam Kyung-pil, member Lee Kwang-Jae) and Yong-in City (Major Kim Hak-kyu) will hold the “IEF 2011 Yong-in Cyber Science Festival”.
In the national assembly VIP restaurant, people such as Nam Kyung-pil, Lee Kwang-jae of the organizing committee, Gyeong-gi Province governor Kim Mun-soo, Yong-in major Kim Hak-kyu attended a press conference to officially announce the event and answered questions in the following Q & A.
Next are the organized interviews:
Since the event started in Gang-neung, Suwon, this is the third time that this kind of event has occurred. How much bigger has the IEF become since last time?
▲In 2006, we invited 17 different countries and this year we have increased that number to 20. This time, Japan will participate in the role of an observer and next year we will invite them officially.
Both countries are leading the event but to make the IEF better it seems like you also need to work with game companies.
▲We are expecting to expand by having Yongin City work with Chinese state game companies and other game companies.
The IEF has been going on for quite some time now and you’ve gotten both attention and neglect. There is worry that the event is politically motivated for existing e-sports fans so isn’t there any long-term plans to develop the event anymore?
▲This is a source of a lot of discussion among us. I think if you wait a bit more, we can show a better image in the future.
The games presented in this event are all Blizzard games but don’t you have any negotiations with Gretech?
▲We are going to deliberate with them through MBC Game.
You’ve given the broadcast rights to MBC Game but don’t you think it’s better to directly negotiate with possible sponsors?
▲MBC Game is managing public relations so we’ll do our best not to run into any problems regarding such matter.

who's not surprised sc2 isn't being played.

There's BW but no Sc2....
I'll just say fucking politics and fucking $$$ are ruining everything... These guys in that picture really look totally proud to be fucking hypocrites.
Why can't we live in harmony?

Not only is it spiting the people involved in SC2, but you have to remember that there will be legal issues. You can't really only blame KeSPA for this.
That being said, it's true that it's a bit sad that SC2 didn't make it due to politics.
|
I was afraid IEF wouldn't happen, it's good to see them continue to support the old games like BW and WC3.
As for SC2, do you really want another event that the progamers have to practice for outside of NASL, MLG and GSL? Especially since GSL seasons are so short and frequent? Or do people just want to see SC2 everywhere. If this is about covering other regions, judging by the comments about NASL and GSL, people mostly want to only watch certain players anyway.
I honestly don't see a problem unless maybe WCG doesn't pick SC2 up.

these were pretty much my thoughts too. And it's not like SC2 can't get bigger just because IEF doesn't include it.

WCG usually holds an annual vote to decide which games they will use for the coming year, and SC2 seems to have gotten quite a few votes this year. Unless WCG's sponsor Samsung steps into the picture, there is a chance that SC2 might completely replace BW at WCG.
Also, I'm not surprised that IEF isn't having SC2 at this event since KeSPA and other BW corporate sponsors are quite heavily involved in the festival's organization. Also, I don't see BW and SC2 coexisting in the same events in Korea until the legal issues get worked out.
|
Wow, I'm surprised IEF is still going on with BW in it. This is great news then!
|
For me, I'm really happy that SC2 is not in it. Great news!
|
Great that this is still continuing but why does it make it better for some of you who say you are happy that SC2 is not in it? They are different games and have some people are fans of both, or the other, it only makes sense to have a popular game for a mixed tournament.

Some poele just have learnt to accept the legal issues as an issue,its not really that they don't like SC2,they just worry about the ramifications of having SC2 in the IEF.

There a lot of maoning about why SC2 isn't included...have people even considered that they can't include SC2 for similiar reasons as to why ogn and mbc dont host SC2. They need Blizzards A OK.
|
Yeah I don't see the big deal, gonna be fun to see which one of the koreans wins it  .
|
This is the BW forums. Who cares about SC2 not making it into a Korean festival. Its all foreigner-supported anyways, make some other country or festival pick it up. Its pretty obvious Korea didn't pick up on SC2. Stop trying to force it on us -_-

For an "international" festival, it's strange that they didn't choose any games that are actually thriving internationally. WC3 is the closest game to having a thriving international scene with the scene in China still going strong.
It all seems a bit self-glorifying to me to host a self-proclaimed "international" e-Sports festival when the games chosen show instead that it is an insular, inward-looking LAN party.
Those who claim that illegality is preventing IEF from including SC2 in its roster should note that it is ridiculously simple to contact Blizzard directly and request permission to include it. The reasons for not including SC2 are either purely political (and KesPa has a precedent of asking its players to boycott tournaments due to such politics in the past) or because SC2 is not popular enough in Korea. If it were the second reason, then it is pretty obnoxious and conceited to call such a tournament the "International E-sports Festival" IMHO.

I love how they say that there'll be competition in BW, when we all know that Korea is just going to dominate.

I don't know about you but I consider Bisu vs Stork pretty fierce competition

Thats awesome!!! and not surprise too that Star2 isnt play. Anyway cant wait for these IEF! And Im so happy because a friend of mine, a nuna who became a singer and who will sing during the IEF ~ (she is the girl with blond hair colour, her name is Naray WhangBo^^". That will be a big show!!!

Really doesn't bother me about sc2 not being there (which is obvious considering the circumstances). Glad IEF gets another year w/ BW

Why pick other games? None of them are actual e-Sports.

I was kinda thrown off by that statement. True, it is self gloryfication in some way (which of these events isn't by the way?), but you do realize, that you would have to donate half of the prize pool to Blizzard for them to even consider letting you play it?
IMHO SC2 doesn't need a millionth event. It's so great to see another BW event even though we all know how that will end  .
|
Great that they still support wc3 and BW. Another Bisu vs Stork final would be epic
Not surprised they didn't list sc2, kinda expecting it actually.
|
Good news
|
Some people still have taste =)
long live bw ~
edit: and lol at all the whiners, like if Sc2 didn't have 1000 events every week lol.

Koreans are rather angry at the legal issues with Kespa V Blizzard, hence why they don't do SC2 imo. Why can't they exist in harmoney?Seems like Blizzard does not want it that easily from what I have read from the legal case.
Still, it is great to see such a tournament going .
|
Good news, I hope to see another incredible Stork vs Bisu series !

Long live bw! So this is the tourney where there was a stork vs bisu, hope for another one, they seem to become better when this happens.

How will they deliberate with MBC games to get permission? I thought gretech had the license to Blizzard games?
And yeah, all Blizzard games. :/ I don't see how they can completely ignore SC2 and not other blizzard games. If they think MBC can let them use brood war, why not SC2 you know?
Anyways, nice event for BW. Just another showcase at how awesome blizzard games are lol
|
Awesome event! I remember White-ra defeating Boxer at IEF, so beware them foreigners can still do it.
Also, this is the BW forums, SC2 #care
There's too many SC2 events as it is and not enough BW ones.

Why should they use sc2 when it's not that popular in Korea?

I don't know this but sounds pretty big to me. Bigger than special force, warcraft III? sc1 and sc2 are top i think. i mean its even on fomos comon.

It's not that popular in Korea because they aren't using it, quite the opposite they're trying to kill it off becaude of KeSPA's eternal status of butthurt. Good job trying to kill off the future of e-sports there, guys.
The lawsuit will handle this shit once and for all. KeSPA will regret being stubborn and not ever taking the Blizz negotiations seriously.
|
I honestly don't why people are complaining that SC2 isn't in this IEF, because you guys already have like 300 tournaments for being a new game out there.

If this so-called "Future of e-esports" have an arbiter (or mothership w.e. that unit that cloak stuff) on top of its audience, then I whole-hearty agree with you!
Btw, this is Kespa's saying: "Blizzard, Fuck you!"

I hope at least a few foreigners go play in broodwar. Cool to see.

Only some Chinese players played in IEF 2010, and none of them were top players like Pj, Lx, F91, Super. I don't expect foreigner involvement in BW to go too well.

It will be held at Suji Sports Park (수지체육공원) in Yongin City, Gyeonggi-do. The festival is from the 7th to the 9th of Oct. The opening ceremony starts at 5pm KST (7th Oct). Before that there will be a Samsung Khan fan-signing. I'm not sure when the SC tournament will take place.

It's probably going to be a 2v2 though and they didn't state whether it's just Stork and Jangbi at the fan signing or most of the Khan team. Fan signing ends at 5pm on 7th Oct. Anyway, check the website for more details.
Edit:
If you do go, make sure to take pictures!

are there even any foreigners to invite? lol

Looks sweet, more BW is always better!

who are representing any other country? I imagine there will be a few Chinese guys I've never heard of, but any others?

Yes, both of them made it to the finals (surprise) and will be playing a Bo5 today at 3pm KST.
Maps are:
1set Pathfinder
2set New Bloody Ridge
3set La Mancha
4set Circuit Breaker
5set Neo Aztec
Ideally, this will go to the 5th game, which will inevitably end up being the most epic PvP to grace the earth since the last time Bisu and Stork clashed on Loki. But realistically, anything but a 3/0 stomp please. Fighting!

So yes, there will be VODs but maybe not of the whole match.

But Game 5, oh man. I swear these two set this up beforehand or something, like, Hey let's make this game fucking awesome. And so it was. The very essence of Taekbang.

Just out of curiosity, did Stork forget dragoon range?

Apparently the event was very poorly organized, and a lot of players had no idea who they were even supposed to be playing in group stages until the last minutes or something, for both BW and WC3.
The groups were apparently really unfair lol, in Stork and Bisu's group was someone from Colombia and someone from Uzbekistan.
Chinese site says a lot of foreigners just forfeited cause they didn't wanna deal with the terrible organization or something.
Bisu 2-0'ed Vulture from China in semifinals, and Stork beat a Korean amateur in semis.
Kind of a shitty/chaotic tournament from what it sounds like @_@

Isn't that always the case with IEF? I remember a tournament (the one where Terror won) where players had to do rock paper scissors to decide who would get a bye or something to that effect
