So is competitive Overwatch a thing? Do people watch it? I have absolutely no idea ... In any case, Lilbow gave us great performances and even greater jokes on his account so I will remember him fondly.

Lilbow? More like LOL-bow for having ironic commitment issues.

Regardless, best of luck to him.

Let's also mention that I'm something like 96% sure that he did prepare for Blizzcon, while we're at it.

Of course he did. 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.

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

I don't think he's really hated at least I never felt that way.
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.

Just look at this thread. 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.

Good luck to him, I think he has more "potential" in SC2. You can be a really amazing Overwatch player, but if the right team isn't looking for a person of your skills, you're not going to have anything to show for it. Really big leap of faith from a professional standpoint, but if it makes him happy I guess thats the best choice no matter what.

It is absolutely a thing now, but it remains to be seen if there's going to be a lasting scene.

In the big picture, I still think Lilbow made the correct career decisions in all cases, and the only thing he might be guilty of was being a cynical jerk when people wanted him (somewhat unfairly) to carry the burden of their hopes

I started playing Stellaris the other day, maybe there can be a news article about that since it seems to be of equal importance compared to this person playing Overwatch.

User was warned for this post
When you came along so righteous with a new national hate, so convincing is the ardor of war and of men, it's harder to breathe than to believe you're a friend. The wars at home, the wars abroad, all soaked in blood and lies and fraud.

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

Players leaving for an FPS? I just don't understand the attraction of Overwatch as a competitive game. It's the complete opposite than StarCraft.

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.
