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. Yes, it might have been hard for Lilbow to prepare properly - but the way he lost was still embarassing. No one can expect a flawless performance with the given difficulties to train. The shameful thing was that Lilbow literally seemed to have no clue about the basic timings in HotS ZvP. And these kind of things should really not happen. And Lilbow has a team, there must have been a Zerg or two as practice partner. The foreign scene should really be able to manage such minor things. I understand that he wants to do well in LotV - but always preparing for what might be happening in the future is really not the way to do it. I doubt Lilbow is ever going to get the opportunity to go to Blizzcon again. To really think the Koreans won't dominate in LotV as they do now is just rather stupid. I wouldn't even be surprised if some Korean guy who barely practiced LotV until DH:W just crushes all the European/American players. Okay, I get what you and the rest are saying. But as it was, the foreign scene was not able to get practice for Lilbow, they even asked every Korean team. So people just don't see how hard it would've been for him to prepare. It's sad that this is the truth and other foreigners didn't help him out etc..., but it is as it is. Also I do think he can get to BlizzCon again, he already proved that he can beat the Koreans that play in WCS. Why not in 2016? Maybe he will do better then, since the other guys on the EU server will actually play game next year. Anyway, let's see what Polt can do, he was last in the community ranking, would be sick to see him surprise people now  . There are 5 players without a Korean team (6 with PartinG, but I'd assume the Chinese teams can what foreign teams can't, which is: find a practice partner for a Blizzcon-player). Fantasy lost, but he didn't look too badly. Rain and Polt both look decent and both - according to your statement - shouldn't be able to practice properly. And we'll see how Hydra does in a second. So far only Lilbow showed total lack of knowledge of the game he's playing.
Of course the Koreans still have friends and connections, they always have korean practice partners even if they are on foreign teams. Not the same for lilbow and millenium at all, they tried.

Stereotypes on French people usually make me laugh, but I'll never understand why this one even exists. What's the deal with French surrendering? WW2 Well yeah, sadly the Channel is between France and GB and not between Germany and France
It's made to be funny, not fair.
Best one was from mock the week a few years ago imo
"Things a frenchman would never say"
=> "Of course it was hopeless, but we kept fighting!"

The fuck? He got the natural? How?!

Third command center on the way. Twilight council and colossi are being made by Rain. 10:00 Polt 86 vs Rain 79 Stim finishes for Polt.

Polt starting +2/2 and +1 mech armor. Fourth CC starting at Polt's third base. Polt going for a pretty sizable drop. 15:00 Polt 195 vs Rain 158 Polt attacks the third with a medium sized force and drops on the colossi with the rest. It works OK, but most of the colossi survive. Rain moving out in response. The fourth CC is found. Rain is on +1/1 and isn't getting +2/2 yet. Templar archives and +2/2 start for Rain. Polt is forced to cancel his fourth CC.
17:00 Polt 168 vs Rain 146
Polt drops the natural and unpowers some buildings, kills some units, and finally destroys the nexus.
Rain isn't really retaliating.
Polt getting +3/3.
Polt just walks into the main and Rain GG's.
Polt goes up 1-0!

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 He blamed Life for that bad series. ffs. I get that he thought he'd lose, but this is inconsistent with his earlier excuses that the reason why he didn't practice is because his buddies were all playing LotV and that the HotS ladder is dead.
yeah overall I think it's just a case of bad communication and misunderstanding... There are timings to say things. This is the kind of things you don't reveal just after the games.

Holy shit, gg. Polt always good for a surprise, I still think Rain can win though.
