Generally speaking it helps if you can support your banter. When MC was shittalking he was amongst the best players(even when he was bantering in WCS he was the beast of WCS). Or Parting, Dark, w/e. If these words were spoken by Serral who has results, it would be a little bit different. IMO I don't mind this, at least now maybe Koreans will hear his name and do a preparation so they won't be surprised as they were with Serral

Edit> outside of me feeling it's a little bit forced(and that's maybe a language barrier as Lambo is German, I am Czech and the interview is in English ), I actually like him being a little bit cocky. At least someone a little bit refreshing.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Germans tend to not sugar coat stuff. We mostly simply say the things as we honestly see them, direct and blunt. People from other cultures often find that rude, or in this case, arrogant, so there may be some of that impression here.

Personally I hope Lambo can deliver good games at BlizzCon, even if he's fighting quite the up hill battle!

This is a sick interview. Really makes me think that Group Stage should be Bo5's. Too much is on the line for just Bo3's.

The minimum number of games you will play in the group stage 4, and the max is 9.

In old blizzcon, the minimum number of games you could play in the ro16 was 3 and max 5.

So, really, players now play more games than they did in the old Blizzcon. Now, if they were to change the games to bo5, then the minimum games you would play is 6 and max is 15. Changing the group stage to bo5 would somewhat cheapen the ro8 and ro4 since you only need to win one bo5 in each stage to advance to the next stage, whereas you needed two bo5s to even get to the ro8.

As much as I would like to see bo5s, it would also massively extend the Blizzcon broadcasting days.


They should absolutely change the format. Two BO3s to decide whether you're in or out in a game as volatile as SC2 is not fun for the viewers. A different format would reinforce the idea that this is the most important tournament of the year.

And just run two streams.

Oh, I agree, just musings for next year. They have the perfect opportunity to shake things up after BlizzCon.

Two bo3s is the same length if not longer than one bo5, three bo3s is always like longer than one bo5. People found the 2013-2015 Blizzcon formats plenty exciting.

Besides, I think Blizzard goes out of its way to only have one stream so that they can highlight each person. It's a grand final, so every match deserves the main stage.

Blizzard want upsets, bo5s are less upset prone than bo3.

Having decider/elimination matches be bo3 is stupid, but probably favourable for the TO.

I don't see this interview as shittalking (except for Has being a free win), he's just being honest. Lambo may not be winning every game he plays, but I like that he publicly voices his opinion. He might be right or wrong, but it provides us with a peek inside an SC2 pro's head. To me that's far more interesting than an interview full of awe and modesty. Now we know what makes him tick, and it enhances the storylines for BlizzCon.

So, Lambo, bring it on!

i just love how aa lot of people here hate on foreigners when they trash talk a bit. Guys like Lambo keep us entertained, they get us hyped, and then a bunch of people who themselfes never overcame diamond talk about how the foreigners will get roflstomped by the koreans. Actually, thats more than likely in Lambos case. But would you guys rather read a "look i am in the Maru TY group so i dont expect to see the RO8 - interview? Really? I feel Lambo is a very smart hart working dude and i will root for him, because i like his "fuck it lets attack" attitude.

I hope he’ll get destroyed tho.
Shit talking Has that much while he didn’t even get to see a wcs finals is ridiculous.

Sure, MaNa and Has are not top tier usually, but they managed to be clutch at the right time and he should respect that.

Is he a new Lilbow? For *uck sake grown up and prepare yourself.

Not sure what you're interpreting into that tweet, he's showing how Maru is 42-0 against zerg on ladder and saying he's looking forward to playing against the best terran in the world, basically.

kid maru.. come on bro. he neglected that he is kid "god" maru.


It's very clearly sarcasm - more of an "FML" post than anything. He even said in this interview that he doesn't have much of a chance to win BlizzCon, he's most scared of Maru and TY, and Maru has the second highest chance to win. Does that sound like someone who's unironically calling maru "kid"?
Also, the number of people becoming anti-fans of lambo is pretty funny. This is a community that's seen the likes of idra, naniwa, huk and stephano, but LAMBO is the poster child for cocky s***-talkers? Give the man a break, lol.
