 International e-Culture Festival 2013 crowned its champion last night with  Xenocider defeating  Welmu 2-0 in the finals. He gets to take home a $10,000 prize for his efforts.  Ret took third over MadBull to shut out the Koreans from a podium finish in a tournament hosted in Korea.![[image loading]](http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/images2/1/10/Gold.png) Xenocider![[image loading]](http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/images2/0/0b/Silver.png) Welmu![[image loading]](http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/images2/f/f2/Bronze.png) Ret![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/wJva7pZ.jpg)

He gets to take home a $10,000 prize for his efforts. 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. | ||

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. | ||

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 ! | ||

Money is not as important, since the big money is in the WCS Finals. | ||

I mean, it was in Korea, and there are so many Korean players who I thought would jump at this chance. | ||

Not all 16 year olds are like that. Also not all competitors in sports/games/etc. are like that. I don't even really know if Xeno is like that. But I won't flame you or get butt hurt Sorry for misunderstanding. | ||

Also, tournaments like IEF try to support eSports in general. To celebrate eSports, it's important to give not only to the best in the world, but those aspiring to be the best as well. I hope these tournaments get more support in the future! | ||

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. | ||

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! | ||

I also heard rumours that NaNiwa could have been able to attend this tournament if it wasn't for IEM having WCS point | ||

Some of you seems not to know about this tournament. This tournament was played in Korean esport festival. Why only semipro or amateur koreans? There was preliminary for koreans and only semipro/amateurs were allowed to play. There were invites for foreign players but some of them cancelled. This is reason for some BYE. Naniwa most likely was one of these. Tournament was casted by Wolf and Whiplash. Reason why you didnt know about this tournament might be that you dont follow Ret, Welmu, Xenocider, Wolf, HasuObs, Whiplash or EG on Twitter. Or you don't follow TeamLiquid forums :D (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=431959) You find pictures from IEF 2013 from here: http://www.ief.kr/bbs/board.php?bo_table=gallery&wr_id=55 (pictures are VERY BIG) | ||

Although the only real experience I have of this is the other way around, which I don't see much of in this thread (i.e., Finns gloating over Swedes because of Welmu's cash money). Faniwas. A well coined phrase, man. Welmu does look like he's crying behind his glasses in this picture. So funny to see next to the elated smile of Libo. | ||
