What's up with the number of people who seem to have missed the last 6 months or so when TLO has become clearly one of the best players in Europe? Are people ignorant or just super butthurt about Lucifron losing for some reason?

You are not the only one who thinks this. Koreans study you to death, and after the interview they will play the safest they can vs him. And then proceed to destroy him after 20+ min game.
But WCS Europe doesn't send 'whoever has the bigger shot' but the ones who win the qualifiers, as it has to be.
ya, ofc tlo deserves his spot as he won the quals fair and square. and ofc i will be rooting for him and hoping he puts me to shame.

Yeah, because manner hatches/pylons/mules are the epitome of disrespect.
Well they are. The only time I'd argue they aren't is by a player also uses them when he looses.
I completly agree with that, the only one I know in that case is MKP To me, the manner hatch thing is completly stupid, especially against a player like Lucifron who seems to be the most respectful player out there.

The only thing I really knew prior to WCS was that he was a well known Warcraft 3 player who allegedly complained about player conditions a lot.

Luci has admited tlo is one of the last readable players. Maybe we´ll see some surprises.
Least readable means unpredictable. But that's not big deal for Koreans, they will play as safe as they can, even if that means that they go into the late game in a disadvantage. And the proceed to sweep with their superior mechanics and game sense.
At the top Korean level, if you are trully unpredictable is really good, as a small advantage, for players with late game, can mean the difference between losing and winning. And I feel that vs TLO, they can afford trading safety against the possibility of TLO playing greedy, because he's no Korean mechanics-wise.
