why prepare for your 30's when youll retire in your 60s. Should prepare for that

Snute went on a break and then started playing LotV. Practice against them would be a waste unless they were willing to 'waste' a lot of their time to get up to snuff with HotS and forget about getting good at LotV beta (and even then Lilbow would probably lose any ways).

rain and polt seem to be friends, or at least majorly respect each other.

Of course he is. He is as angry as he should be. He did a shameful display. What are people going to think of the foreign scene after that ? This is our best representative ? He can still redeem himself at DH Winter, I just don't get why anybody expected something different. It was phisically impossible to get efficient practice for this during the last 4 weeks. Of course he should've still done better than he did, because you don't lose 3 games like this in a row. Even if you played only LotV. Honestly, getting crushed like this happens. But the attitude, especially THIS is what bothers me. But again, there was no way for him to practice! If he went to Korea for practice, every single replay would've been sent to Life. So he stayed in EU, but there the server has been dead since WCS Season 3. It was a dilemma, so he chose to focus on DH winter, I don't blame him. He could've still done better today though, even while playing HotS, losing 3 games like this in a row is not necessary.
I am pretty sure, there were many EU or NA foreigner ZERGS who could help him to practice, if he asked them. Only laddering is never a good practice, specially if you know your oponnent already since months ago. If he already knew he had no chance and didnt practice, he could ve give someone other the place,(in this case Hyun) he would ve prepared more and at least tried to win. Lilbow was like "I will do my stuff and i will lose no matter what."

The "best" foreigner disgraces the game. If I was a tourney organizer I'd ban his ass from ever participating in my tournament again.
This is really funny if you think about sc history :D

Okay. I guess you have a right to being offended by random stuff.

Ugh, I want to rant about Lilbow's humiliation, but it's time to focus on the next match.
GO POLT!!!!

So you're telling me TLO needs 100 pratice games to pull of ling runbys and baneling busts? Lilbow didn't loose to some next level starcraft. He looked like a mid master player in these games. And I mean, I can understand that his conditions were bad, but he should have just not talked about it at the very least.

Eh, i don't think 14/14 is stronger in LotV. It's alright because people are way more greedy, but as a whole it's worse. Overlord drop builds are way better.
