[edit] Biography
[edit] Wings of Liberty
Welmu stayed a bit low profile during the months following the release of the game. His first appearance in a major oflline event occurred at Assembly Winter 2011. In this tournament, he wasn't able to reach the main bracket, being eliminated in the group stages.
At Assembly Summer 2011, he managed to get a spot in the main bracket, advancing from his group over the favored Grubby and LaLush. He faced MorroW in round of 16 and was defeated 2-1. The next day, Welmu competed in World Cyber Games 2011 Qualifiers Finland. He came out of his group undefeated, and knocked Sein out in the first round of the bracket. He then faced Sein's little brother, Naama, who was heavily favored at that time. He won against the odds, and proceeded to the winner's bracket final, where he beat elfi, therefore earning him a spot in World Cyber Games 2011. He eventually defeated elfi again in the Grand Final.
On November 23, 2011, Welmu left eXelon Gaming and joined Team Empire.[1]
In February 2012, Welmu participated in Assembly Winter 2012. He surprisingly made it out of his group in second place, upsetting Kas and TitaN. However, his Round of 16 0-2 against Lucky would knock him out of the tournament.
In early March of 2012, Welmu left Empire.[2][3] A few days later, Eclypsia announced Welmu as the second player in their roster.[4]
