Life was just insanely better than he was and he knew it. I don't know why he ever thought it was a good idea to lie and try and minimize his loss the way he did. I don't think anyone ACTUALLY expected him to win, if he had just lost graciously he would've been way better off. Now he's a walking meme. Good work on his part. | ||

Obviously he didn't "think" that it was a good idea, that's an emotional response, not a rational one. | ||

But once a person has made a mistake and been censured for it, it is primitive to continuously relate that mistake to every single thing the person does. Is it surprising that he'd benefit from a new scene when a significant portion of this community hates him despite all the great performances he gave? And for those still beating down on him: isn't losing his passion for SC2 already punishment enough? It's clear that he's had a miserable 2016. How much suffering do you have to observe him go through before you can forgive him for when he chose to transition to LotV and his departures from your etiquette? The hatred doesn't fit the transgressions. When you consider his positive contributions, the scale becomes even more unbalanced. People who cannot let go at this point and move forward on to more productive rather than destructive behavior are hypocrites. It's like people thinking they're on the moral high ground saying "Stay classy!" when that's never a classy or productive thing to say. So go ahead and be assholes forever to a guy because of some mistakes he made but be aware that you're the ones in the gutter. And consider that if it only takes a few minor consistent imperfections, or a few mistakes, for you to hate a person forever, then you'll end up generating more hatred and negativity and destruction to the world than the targets of your punishment. It's an unreasonable way to behave that seems okay only because you've got a mob on your side. Think clearly for a second and stop being dicks. I'm gonna quote this because a few people seem to have just skipped over what I can only describe as a wonderful post. Stay classy fine sir | ||

People are just making jokes about him and when you do something like he did you kinda have to live with the jokes because it's obviously funny. Just like naniwa has to live with jokes about soundproofing or idra with jokes about rage-quitting. You can't tell people they aren't allowed to make fun about something like that. | ||

You'd be surprised how strongly people can hate someone they don't know and have no stake in, just because they think they're supposed to. Not hated? This is the internet, and while you might be treating it as simple jokes, others sure don't see it that way. | ||

Sure there are a lot of jokes but the majority of people also wish him good luck in OW. if he would be really hated they wouldn't do that. | ||

In any case, Lilbow gave us great performances and even greater jokes on his account so I will remember him fondly. It is absolutely a thing now, but it remains to be seen if there's going to be a lasting scene. | ||

Stay classy fine sir Other people here had better and more concise posts, than this gentleman who basically called others "hypocrite dicks", to use his words exactly. That's not a "fine sir" in my book | ||

I make a mental note of tagging everyone who still shits on Lilbow for his blizzcon performance as an absolute idiot. Wouldn't mind if TL had a block/ignore function. | ||
