MC is currently streaming himself sleeping and getting 1.2k viewers. He brings the people in with his very presence

MC is a great guy and I will be happy to see him at any tournament, I even hoped, he will steal some welfare money. But not at this tournament, this was supposed to be the big "GOOD BYE KOREANS" tournament.

I wonder how many invitationals Lilbow will get invited to before organizers realize hes not that popular or good in LotV


Yeah he is the only invite that stands out as "should he be there?". Ptitdrogo, ShowTime, Nerchio, Mlord would've been sick. Him and the supposedly retired MC I guess.

He still was the best foreigner at the end of HotS. sOs hasn't shown that great play in LotV yet either, but no one is arguing that he shouldn't be there and with good reason I think.

sOs has played 4 televised 1v1 games in LotV and is the reigning Starcraft World Champion. Lilbow meanwhile has been completely overshadowed by other foreign players in LotV so far when playing in the same tournaments as them. I'd be fine with Lilbow if he had an interesting playstyle but... well, he never had that.

if Lilbow doesn't have an interesting playstyle nobody has.
His playstyle is the definition of interesting.

Aren't you the person who thought +2 stalker/sentry vs roach/hydra was the pinnacle of RTS gameplay? Yeah no, I don't agree with you. His playstyle is the definition of boring for me.


Hitting timings isn't exactly spectacular I'd agree. Turtling is still worse imo :D
Zest fanboy.

what was bad about stalker/sentry against roach hydra?
The micro interactions and constant trading were awesome.
only ling bane muta vs bio mine comes close to that.
so bad that lotv killed it.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

It honestly feels like ESL either learned about the WCS changes too late, or completely forgot SC2 was on the docket for Taipei.

Not really super hyped about this lineup tbh. buuuuut ehh I guess its the best we can hope for with GSL and SSL going on in full force


What's distressing is 0 Taiwanese players

Isn't the Taiwanese scene basically dead at this point?

China has had a resurgence but afaik Taiwan died 2 years ago :/

Taiwan died Almost a full year ago. The final SC2 broadcast from TeSL was made in March 2015. If my memory serves me correctly, it was Has vs. Ruin.

I watched his stream for a bit. One game, he MSC-pylon rushed a Terran (building pylons outside and then inside the Terran base, kept activating photon overcharge). Quite funny! Terran player must be super mad!

Because though he is a good player, he's not a top-tier player and a lot of people hoped all 8 of the invited players would be top-tier Koreans because other than Blizzcon this may have been the only opportunity to have a truly stacked weekend tournament.

Well, I think GSL and viewership may have a say in it-- though I was arguing for Korean players in general because "GOOD BYE KOREANS" seemed like an anti-Korean(?) opinion

No, trust me, I do not have any anti-Korean opinions ... now, I have just anti-foreigner opinions ...

very happy for Snute!

But Lilbow should've been replaced by Showtime.
