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

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 !
Yea im sure that is how it went down. All the koreans turned down an opportunity to play in it.

They wouldn't if it meant the difference between qualifying for WCS grand finals or not. If they won't go to blizzcon for sure then yeah you are right.

Maybe hes a good sc2 player but he doesn't seem like the greatest guy... he's like 12 isn't he? remember when they had David Kim on Inside the Game? He was an idiot for the first hour or so, then he stopped talking (assuming someone from EG told him to chill out and apologize) then, while everyone was saying goodbye to david kim, he said he was sorry and stuff. They just need to divert some of their dirty eg money to life-coaching or something so he doesn't turn into an arrogant ungrateful kid.
He's 15 iirc, but what did he say when dk was on inside the game. Can't believe I missed that.

There's a video on Youtube, so you can still watch it even if you missed the stream.

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, the ones who didn't get enough to go to blizzcon.
In the end it was all about that one last chance, at least they tried.

Yeah but Naniwa was really in it for the WCS points. As he should be

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....

He came off that way but I did say I reserved judgement and didn't bad talk Xeno. I don't expect a ton out of 16 year olds so I didn't intend to hate on him.
But I will disagree in some aspects. 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.

I had no idea this tournament even existed. Kind of bummed I didn't get to see it if it was streamed since I was too preoccupied focusing on IEM.
For such a big prize pool how come the field was kind of soft for a tournament in south korea?

Sia retires after getting 2-1'd by Welmu? LOL that has to sting.
