Ten minutes after Lilbow-Life, Rain lost a warp prism in a way that displays he's been playing a lot of LotV. Were you offended? Did you watch Innovation play those games? Somehow I suspect Innovation's standard for "not a lot" is a whole lot more than Lilbow. | ||

In the vast scheme of things its not a big deal, even if he showed "respect" it would not have made a difference. It certainly was poor build choice and poor prep by lilbow + bad PR afterward but can we just move on already? Forgive me for singling you out but it's posts like this that just fucking infuriate me. Let me state first as everyone knows I don't think Lilbow deserved his place but he qualified under the system given. Yesterday Lilbow took a massive dump on the game, embarrassed himself and embarrassed every person who dreamt of seeing a foreign hope at Blizzcon, went on social media and basically smiled about it and people STILL defend him because "It wouldn't have mattered anyway". Maybe that's true, maybe if he practiced HotS more Life still cheeses him out and 3-0's him.....or MAYBE he pulls a Polt and wins a couple of maps and makes Life sweat, or MAYBE somehow, someway he pulls a Hydra and wins. We'll never know because he couldn't be bothered to even fucking TRY. And people say "Move on" because "it's not a big deal", it's statements like that that are the reason this scene is fucked as it is, because people just don't treat people pissing on the biggest tournament of the year as a big deal or worse support the guy because he might have a chance at Dreamhack. Again I'm sorry for singling you out for the basis of my rant, but posts like that piss me off | ||

Innovation looked great. But andeh was telling me that the problem wasn't that he lost to Life and looked bad, it was his attitude. This is obviously not true, otherwise Innovation saying what he said in his winner interview would have offended him as well. | ||

Saying "I didn't prepare a lot" after thrashing a world class opponent after a match could either be bad manner or modesty or mind games or just not knowing what's appropriate to say other than giving a generic answer, that's pretty different from saying it before you play the set for a recorded segment then going on twitter after the fact to spout the same nonsense. | ||

They all dropped down in results because the rest of the world had moved on to HotS and then...... Oh wait nevermind, Innovation became the best Terran in the world, Symbol got two ro8s in Korean lans and top 4 at HSC, Curious got a top 4 at IEM NY beating sOs and Flash (who was in good form at the time), Parting became one of the best Protoss, Taeja continued being stronger than ever, Soulkey became the best Zerg, MC got WCS EU 2nd place twice and Roro got two ro8s in Korean/WCS Final leagues. Nope, guess there isnt any historical evidence of results downsliding because the competition had a few more months of practice. | ||

I think this is more of a case of foreign player fans projecting their insecurities and lofty expectations onto their only hope, and taking his decision far too personally. | ||

Player who qualified by winning a charity mickey mouse tournament doesn't practice because he knows he has zero chance. Believes he can get ahead by switching to the expansion, like all the foreigners did back at the end of WoL, only to get demolished by Koreans who came to IEM having played a handful of HotS games. Remember Grubby and all the other foreigners who had switched to completely HotS months before it came out, because the game was going to be so much better and they, having had a head start compared to Koreans, were going to be relevant and competitive? Yeah... | ||

apathy is not the easy way out in this case, it's being angry with him as someone who has nothing to do with him. if you're a fan though, i can understand. | ||

I can't see any of the names of the Blizzcon participant's besides Lilbow's in the section "qualified". Somehow there is an immidiate payoff for playing LotV before the others here that you kind of don't mention, no? | ||

All 15 other participants wouldn't have been allowed to play in the DH qualifiers because they're Koreans anyway. Plus the payoff for winning at Blizzcon has the potential to be bigger. | ||
