Xenocider gets more money for a firstplace in a tournament with C-level players than Life/Naniwa will get for placing second at IEM which was stacked.

Well, he didn't get any WCS points, so there is a difference in the end.

Big congrats to Xeno, well done!

So good that after his emo tweets Snute mentioned in his blog Xeno has come out and won two things in a short space of time. Onwards and upwards!

I was just going to say this.

But yes, a huge congrats to Xeno. Hopefully, it won't be long before he starts trading games with the big boys.

I'm also glad that he's playing in these "smaller" tournaments to gain some experience and confidence (and money!). It was clear to him that he was not good enough when he first joined EG to hang with the best of the best. There's no shame in admitting it, and sometimes you need to take one step back before you can take two steps forward. (Hell, even Bisu was sent back to the B-team at one point). While he may not be getting the spotlight from these wins, what he's doing is much more productive than trying to trudge on after taking loss after loss, and I admire him for that.

Bit of a silly tournament...it was like a random assortment of foreign pros/semi-pros, three amateur Koreans and a couple of amateur Chinese players..competing for quite a large prizepool.

Not to take away anything from Xenocider, but Welmu did have to beat three Koreans to get to the finals, whilst Xeno only had to play Ret :X

Hm unfortunate for xenocider that this tournament had almost no exposure. He won, but not many people will know about it :/. Grats to him :D
When I think of something else, something will go here

Xeno just won the WCG USA qualifier too recently didn't he? Looks like the kid is a on a roll.

Ret spoke incredibly highly of him, is this the start of the new all american hero? (After illusion and QXC)

that keeps on coming up then after a bit, they all flatter lol.

Congrats to him for winning though!

I'm guessing there are no VODs for this?

guess I'm gonna have to catch Xeno's stream to see how much he's improving.

Yeah Foreigners shouldn't go to Korea and take away their prizemoney, people usually complain about koreans not having enough opportunities in their country. Now we know why.

Madbull got a few nice wins there, glad too see a few bits from him.

And congrats Xeno of course !

That was actually my first thought too =/
Still, congrats to Xeno, glad to see a newer face doing well.


Same, I'm not sure where the money comes from for these events.

Still GG Xeno.
