can't say I'll miss him...since he sabotaged Blizzcon he lost all credibility in SC2 scene and as was mentioned he.s quite lucky it stayed only at jokes.

I have a feeling that in few months he'll switch to something else again.

PS: dropping out of Blizzcon to practice for a game you leave few months later is quite the achievement. Probably the most stupid thing in a long time in SC2 scene.

Pretty much my stance, though I'm not as harsh considering he earned his place to be there... Still will remember him for that day.

how is this lilbow's mistake that LotV released is at blizzcon? It was obvious that everyone played LotV beta except blizzcon players. So lilbow had hard time to find serious good hots players over 2+ months.

That isn't true, lots of people said they would help him prior to blizzcon and he turned them down. The real shame is he thought LOTV would be a better game and for his playstyle it really sucks :/.

I mean, he's not going to do anything serious in Overwatch, would be more fitting to say he's retiring to play games for fun.

He definitely made it sound like he was trying to go professional there.

that argument was debunked multiple times already.

several players said they wanted to help him but HE refused.

also, all of BlizzCon atendees had same issues as he did, even if that claim was true.
It doesn't excuse him at all.

There were Sc2 players who switched to Dota and LoL as well. Has anyone been successful at all? We'll see, maybe Overwatch is different. HuK also seems interested in Overwatch? He was streaming it for a little bit.

Well, if you're not enjoying yourself playing the game and you're not able to be competitive with the best, I understand his decision to try out another game.

Best of luck to him.

Babyknight switched back to Dota and while he hasn't been exactly successful he seems to be doing ok.

As far as I know, the only example of a pro from one game going to also a pro level in another one is Lucifron and Vortix from Strcraft to Heroes of the Storm.

Every other example is just going from Pro to Amateur / Enthousiast level.

Is overwatch big enough competitively already? It's weird how Blizzard tries to push every single game they make into an esport, regardless if it's a natural fit or not.

This!

Plus we don't even know if Overwatch will have a competitive scene. But I was expecting sth like this, either he would reitire or he would switch games. Both possibilities have the same outcome...

Ps: Still mad at him because of his Blizzcon "performance" and his ridiculous excuses.

Totally forgot Babyknight existed. That dude was pretty cool.

Hahahaha! Simply... EPIC!! Hahahaha You made my day.

Honestly, I think he at least changed a little his mindset while reading the tweet.
