I have a hard time believing this story by Lilbow tbh. I just can't picture that he couldn't ask TLO or Snute for example and practice with them. I mean those guys are not Life, and they also have no incentive to pratice, but I have a hard time believing that TLO for example would turn down such a request.

TLO has played LotV for months. 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).


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.

Yea, that's exactly what would have helped Lilbow! Practicing vs 100 Ling runbys in a row! Then he would have beat Life!!!!!!!!!!


You're makin up a false dichotomy. Nobody expected him to beat life. Nobody is angry about him not beating life. People are angry, because he didn't try. Trying your hardest is at the heart of every serious competition, and if you don't try you might as well don't bother.


What's your evidence that he didn't try? Do you think he threw the games?


No. Because he didn't practice. He didn't take it seriously. He didn't lose on purpose, but he didn't put in any effort.


There is a lot of information coming out. Basically the entire HotS ladder in Korea and EU is dead.

Meh you could probably pay some of the maphackers on KR GM to practice with you.

Damn, TLO seems mad.

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.


Why would you assume that your replays would be sent to Life?
Is it that safe to assume that no Koreans are willing to help out Lilbow and knowingly disadvantage him?
Wouldn't Koreans want a less mechanically gifted player to go through Life so that they won't have to face Life?

I think you might not know koreans


I am Korean....

Are you a korean starcraft pro, though?

I like how careful and slow Rain is taking it... This is the style I expected from Zest rather than those absurdly fast thirds.

"Ok so first of all i'm writing this just cause I want my real fans to know what happened and what is happening for me exactly, I don't care about people being mean.
The games were bad mostly because of life cause he wanted to cheese all the time, i was not completely underprepared for this but doing very small mistakes is enough to get destroyed by cheese and that's basically what happened. I am practicing to be the best as I said, but I don't wanna be the best of a game that nobody is playing anymore, it doesn't make any sense to me.
So I decided to spend all my time on lotv and I reached top 5 on global ladder so far which means ive been practicing seriously during these months, i'm not lazy and I still want to be the best; I know what I want and if I have to look bad a tournament for it, then it's too bad. However, even if I practiced super hard I would have beat Life MAYBE, but I couldn't beat innovation afterwards. That's 99% impossible for me, impossible cause he is good obviously but especially cause practicing hots is NOT POSSIBLE in europe at this moment because nobody is playing it obviously, they are all playing lotv, just like me, the only difference is that they didn't qualify for this tournament that is NOT winnable for an european that can't even practice whatsoever. Judging me badly on a situation that u probably can't understand isn't something nice from you" - Lilbow

So Zains' original counter to your point is valid.


That because Snute and TLO weren't playing HotS, Lilbow shouldn't have either? They didn't need to practice for WCS Finals....
