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... How dare you question the legitimacy of the qualification process for BlizzCon?! All sixteen players qualified because no-one else in the entire world could challenge their well earned spots. Are you saying Lilbow was less of a legitimate contender for winning BlizzCon than say soO? Don't be ridiculous, please. | ||

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. I'd bet the reactions from the Korean community would be the exact same or if anything much harsher. I won't be surprised if a player gets kicked out of a team or get banned from certain tournaments for showing such poor attitude. | ||

This has nothing to do with the expansion at hand. Going for blind builds and expecting Life to play "honorably" is nothing but indifference. Just wondering, would Lilbow have checked the the back of Moonlight Madness in LotV? | ||

i don't personally care about lilbow (just a foreigner and a protoss player, says a lot really), but the guy did what none of the other drips did and won wcs. he went through a lot of good players. to say that he was unprepared for the match is a stretch, since he had probably prepared some shit. we didn't see it because he got all-in'd three times in a row. it's bad foresight on his part, but that's how it rolls. were his builds unsafe? maybe, maybe that's all he knew. maybe he figured that life would take him seriously and he'd get at least one game going the way he wanted. we'll never know and frankly who gives a shit. foreigners are bad, so why not blame all foreigners for being bad instead of laying the blame on the ONE SINGLE foreigner who managed to make it, just because he didn't live up to your expectations versus one of the favorites to take the entire damn thing. lol, calm yourselves | ||

And his Facebook post where he said he predicted Life would cheese, he could have beaten Life if he practiced, but decided LotV was more important. He also lied about not being able to practice (ya, I'll take TLO's word over his any day of the week). | ||

If he had lost three macro games, there would be no thread. If he had cheesed three times and Life had defended, there would be no thread. Inno said that he didn't prepare, but he looked good in his game, so nobody would claim that he was disrespectful for saying it. | ||

Oh my. Someone did a thing competing in a video game I feel is disrespectful and unprofessional. Better announce to the world that I lost all respect for Lilbow and I will no longer cheer for him! | ||
