Senseless bashing of foreigners and WCS game quality is not permitted today. Criticism is fine, but let's not repeat yesterday's mess. Games can be enjoyed without the presence of constant vitriol.
14:18 GMT (+00:00) Edit: This is your friendly reminder that whining about Protoss is an old and tired thing. Don't.

add herO to the list.

and Rogue, and Byul, and anyone except Polt/Hydra, man are you serious ? Even FanTaSy would wipe the floor with him if he plays seriously.


Fanta is shit tier

so is MarineKing lol


and he lost 2-1 in close games. Being 100% sure you won't lose to someone requires to be so much ahead of him. Lilbow isn't a great player in the grand scheme of things but in a bo5 there is not many players I'd be 100% sure they're gonna win.
sigh if he was korean you would say he is shit tier just like mkp
How biased do you have to be to claim that because someone had close games vs mkp they have a snowballs chance in hell vs byul?
You realise Byul is the top 1 zerg atm? Still not out of gsl and in ssl finals? Beat so many strong players to get there.
But lilbow won vs mana and had close games vs marineking.
Edit: oh you politely called him a trash player sorry I didn't notice. I still stand by my point that byul would beat him 9-0 in a bo3

Depends how quickly Koreans learn LotV, but even if they have a head start next year I can't see foreigners becoming closer to the Koreans after that while just playing with each other and a few ok Koreans that decide to stay in EU and NA.
why even

ahah ofc not, but calling this the hardest tournament ever is just fraudulent. Say that after he wins Blizzcon.

I don't think anybody here called that the hardest tournament ever, except the same people who try to mock those who are happy for Lilbow?

Fanta is shit tier. Rogue and Byul are zergs and you can totally steal a bo5 in PvZ.


Fantasy beats Rain on a regular basis.


Fanta dies to stalkers on a regular basis too. His highs are pretty good but then he derps ultra hard.

anyway Fanta vs Lilbow is impossible in the first round

Great fun in the LR thread today! Grats to everyone who enjoyed themselves, and grats to Lilbow, Mana, Zanster and ForGG for bringing on the show. And yeah, nice Blizzard trolling there too, LoTV = the new black.

Fanta is shit tier. Rogue and Byul are zergs and you can totally steal a bo5 in PvZ.

Build stalkers and all-in is really all you need to do to get decent chances at winning against a superior opponent. At least a better chance than in a 4 base macro game. It's definetly what Lilbow should try if he faces Life or Rogue or any other Zerg


exactly, he has the perfect style to beat a superior opponent. Except when the guy he's facing is just better at the things he's good at.

Yup it's going to be hard but not impossible. I don't really like Lilbow, i don't like that he the Protoss version of a meching terran. I don't like that he is going to Blizzcon while players like soO are not. But he is working wonders, he is performing really good and he uses all the tools he has to win. People should not hate him for doing that, he is doing what most P's are doing at the moment and what's working out best. If that's a good thing is another discussion

I'd definitely add herO to that list since Lilbow is almost pure blink stalker in PvP.
And no way in hell does herO lose a blink war

Lilbow is 13th on Blizzcon list so he probably gets Life, PartinG or Maru.


Parting's PvP sucks. With good BO Lilbow could totally win that series.


Life's on a quite a bit of a slump so he might have a shot at that?
Obviously Maru's the worst draw. He wrecks protoss, and I think his wrists are better now.


KT were considered slumping before today's R4 Finals, then they won the whole thing. People thought Life was pretty bad before Blizzcon last year, then he won that. I don't think Life's reluctance to work harder than he needs to affects Blizzcon: he will work his ass off for the chance at another WC title.

KT won off TY and Zest who were the only players considered not slumping


They won three bo7s in a row with wins from Life, Stats, TY and Zest. I think general consensus was that they were disfavored against both CJ and SKT. The point is that people look at how teams and players have played in the past and assume that rapid returns to form are out of the question, even when such returns have happened to the very same teams/players before. Predicting KT to be shut down by SKT is just as iffy as thinking a slumping 9-time premier champion wouldn't regain his edge in 8 weeks of concerted practice.

Just a pet peeve.

you just don't understand the point i'm making. If lilbow was in Korea he'd be at best code A. There isn't a lot of players that I'd say are 100% invulnerable to code A players. You just need to look at PL to be sure of that with people like departure or panic getting good wins.

And lilbow vZ is like his only chance at blizzcon atm.
Zest fanboy.

I'll have to get the exact words he said to believe that. Yes if he said that it is false and stupid. Still not a reason to constantly remind that GSL is higher level than WCS.

Honestly, at Blizzcon, most regular calculations will be off. It's an incredibly high-pressure LAN situation with Bo5s. How well players have shown they're able to handle pressure is a better barometer than how well they've been playing recently in other tournaments.
