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.


and ?


and this is what is wrong with the world.


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

Big congrats to Xeno, well done!


Pretty sure most players at IEM would trade some of their WCS points for money :p

They could have done that buy going to this event. But they went to IEM and Libo won the money.

I mean, people are aware that they normally set the prize money before the players sign up? Its not like they gauge the level cash to hand out based on who is attending.

Really happy for him, I enjoy watching him stream and he has a lot of potential. Plus saying he's won 10k playing SC2 will give him a lot more validation with school/family -- always nice to have.

What I see is this - while Koreans were out of the country beating up foreigners and taking their money, Xenocider, Welmu, and Ret made a ninja move into Korea to get some of it back.

Well played.


you win the thread, I agree.

Good job getting that money, guys!!

It's not the first time in sc2 history there's been a fairly unknown tournament with a good prize pool and seemingly random selection of players, I can think of quite a few off the top of my head, just get over it!!

not the fact that IEF had same / similiar price money then IEM is the problem.

Your ignorant asses are the problem... who cares man? Xeno won and thats cool.
who cares about the price money for some other guys that got second in another tournament, the news is : xeno won IEF. Period.

damn thats annoying... something comes up and the only thing that is relevant is complaining about other stuff.. TAHT is killing e-sports

GJ Xeno

He had been so depressed (showing this via status updates on twitter/Facebook) about his previous results and I hope that this will give him the foresight not to became demotivated when results aren't as expected. You can't always do well in this evern-changing world of eSports.

I think if a Code S player attended this would have been a rofl-stomp though.

So the question now is, just when will the EG curse strike down this rising star?
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

I think that all "ifs" are stupid here. Doesn't matter that there were no Code S Koreans.
I am happy that there are still from time to time big, less known tournaments with money. This one was with big money. That is good. We all know that SC2 is not doing well nowadays. One of the ways to keep players in this e-sport game is to organize such tournaments. To give more players chances of winning big money.


Congratulations to Xeno, awesome win!
There are no boundaries, that's the final conclusion.

My friend (who knows nothing about starcraft) saw xeno randomly at the escapist expo (WCG USA) and asked him if he won the prize he was holding at a raffle. Xeno apparently, was a pompus butt and completely sneered and ridiculed him. Maybe hes a good sc2 player but he doesn't seem like the greatest guy...

Yeah I don't know I've seen him on twitter and he seems kind of immature and cocky. But I reserve judgement I guess.

Yeah because you have to be humble and mature after winning ten thousand dollars playing a video game. For fucks sake, its a fucking game. He's 16, at best. You know how cocky and full of shit EVERY MAN IS AT 16?!

You all are so freaking stupid. Oh he's cocky and immature. He plays a video game for a living, while in high school. It cracks me up all the comments about all these young, or even old, players being 'bad mannered' or 'immature'. Do you not watch professional sports? Shit talking, and being immature is the nature of the beast.

Competition gets the worst of people.

And for the retard with the 'you didn't read that outloud before posting it, did you' comment... Why would I? He knows when to pull the boys and go for the win...or as some people would say SCV train? I call em the boys. He pulls the boys out vs protoss and wins.

And now I'm ready for the flaming from all the butt hurt people who rabble rabble rabble when someone isn't their image of a professional GAMEr....

Doubt he cares that much about 10k, being in EG and all. Still, sick sum of money to have when you're fifteen. Hell, I'm twenty five and I don't have nearly that much in my bank account.

Doubt his contract is that good. He was picked up as a talent, doesn't really have a strong fanbase/following, and prior to his recent results no achievements.
