wheni left lilbow was a nobody. come back and there's highlight reels of him. must have carried foreingers for a bit

It was barely 20 minutes. And of course it gets even worse with the fact that Lilbow never was relevant in LotV afterwards.

Nerchio > Stats, ShoWTime > sOs, Neeb > herO and Scarlett > Dark, though unlikely, are not entirely out of this world. I'd like those 4 wins to happen so that we get the ace hype.
(if I had to predict I'd predict the first 3 to happen and Scarlett to lose, so yeah 5-3 for Korea)

Lilbow obviously had practiced, he just said that cause he was bitter that he got destroyed. I'm not sure why we pretend that he didn't two years later still.
