I want to make a joke about him practicing for FrostGiant's new game, but this is great news! Awesome to see him coming back to the scene.

That's... interesting. Hopefully he becomes good, because the jokes really do write themselves when it comes to Lilbow's practice.

I fail to see how this is salt. I'm mocking him.

You sound salty to me. Bitter. Brooding. Betrayed. Never forgiving. Never forgetting. Salty AF.

I will never forget staying up until 3 am during a work week to watch Life vs. Lilbow.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

Well this is worth getting excited about!

I have already watched some of his streams.

Foreigners struggled a lot vs koreans before region lock, especially during HotS. During last HotS year (2015 iirc), Lilbow who is a french protoss player became the best foreigner, mostly on the back of his great blink play (during protoss blink era), and was the only foreigner to qualify for BlizzCon.

People thus had high hopes for him, and he got cheesed thrice by Life and lost the bo5 3-0 in something like 30 minutes.
It would have been relatively harmless if he didn't say that with everyone practicing LotV, it was hard to find practice partners or something like this. People started mocking him for what they considered a poor excuse for his performance.

Now honestly, what was he doing the time and why is he returning now? Is he more optimistic about the future than the rest of us, or he didn't notice how the European scene looks like
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

He didn't really say "it is hard to find practice partners" (that was his excuse after the loss), but he straight on said beforehand "nah, I didn't practice at all, because I want to be strong in LotV and I couldn't beat Life or Innovation (next opponent) anyway". And that is what made people so angry (btw noch just fans, but also shoutcasters and even TLO mocked him for it).
He had a chance to greatness and threw it away, because he wanted to get a headstart in an addon for which players like Nerchio trained half a year already...
And since in LotV he never managed to do anything of importance, it easily became a meme...

For people wanting to read up on the blizzcon 2015 there is quite a few of the tweets and general gist of things written heretl.net

Also I find it kind of funny that the new picture with Lilbow in Archangel shirt seems to be his liquipedia image from 2015 when he was on Millenium but photoshopped.
