David "Lilbow" Moschetto, French Protoss of team Millenium, is looking to leave the StarCraft 2 scene, setting his sights on the new Blizzard game Overwatch.
In 2015, Lilbow played himself into the hearts of many fans, reaching the finals of WCS Premier League twice in a row and winning once. He was also one of only two foreigners to ever qualify for the Global Finals under the old WCS system. Lilbow also caused some controversy during the Global Finals. After his 0-3 loss in the first round, he stated that he had barely practiced for his match, instead opting to focus on preparing for the upcoming release of Legacy of the Void.
Less than a year later, on July 1, Lilbow dropped out of BasetradeTV's "Civil War" event due to "no longer playing Starcraft". Today, he posted this on reddit:
i'm indeed trying to switch into overwatch as I have no more passion for starcraft 2 anymore, basically haven't played the game since 4 months except a tiny bit to prepare for dh tours which I lost 3-2 (again....) I don't wanna say too much, just thanks for you support and do not expect a come back for now as my overwatch experience is truely great

The man who himself has become a meme.
Gl to Lilbow.

He gave up Blizzcon to train during the Beta. When the game released he quit playing. LOL.

That's indeed quite funny

well... why should you play a game that's not fun to play ?
seems like a waste of time to me. i can understand his decision
gl in future lilbow.

Can't really blame him.
the starcraft community been on his nuts ever since the blizzcon incident.
good luck
|
Guess all that extra practice for LotV during Blizzcon didn't pan out.
Also, complaining about losing repeatedly while having just said he didn't practice is a wee bit mystifying.
|
welp, hope he finds success on OW
GL, despite the drama around him he provided at some point some epic games

He didn't get any "extra" practice.... he just practiced the same amount as any other player. He would have practiced less if he was still playing Hots for Blizzcon, that's all.
He has never seemed to enjoy himself much since Lotv came out

This ^.
Also GL Lilbow hope your transition goes well.

Farewell to the guy who, for a couple months, was the best foreigner. His decision making may be special, but his micro is impressive and he sometimes has those genius moments that just make me wow.
GL in OW!

And for good reason. If you're not even going to try, "bow" out of Blizzcon and let someone else who WANTS to play, play. It's better for you, better for the audience, better for Blizzcon.

im 100% sure in any other competitive sports, his thrashing would be 1000% worse. He should be thankful it came down to just only jokes

I'm just imagining the shitstorm that'd go down if a pro athlete got crushed first round of playoffs and then admitted he didn't practice for them. They'd lose sponsors at least and probably their whole career
