cant handle this kid... talks way too much crap and i've only had bad experiences with him

He talks about the hate he gets and reasons surrounding it as well.

A lot of the hate he gets is very, very deserved.. I'll give it a listen and edit in more thoughts after.

Who is he and why do we care about him?

he's an asshole and we shouldnt care about him

Some american terran who had some halfway decent 2010 results (I think?) made the move to korea for hardcore training, didn't get anywhere, made some videos, pissed an awful lot of people off somehow (not entirely sure how), got invited to Day 9's tournament where he had a ******* hard group, lost the first two matches in one sided fashion, conceded the 3rd match entirely, got flamed quite a bit for it.

I think that sums it up.

the reason he pissed everyone off is because for one he thought he was amazing; aka arrogant and elitist.

he believed that foreigners were horrible; anyone outside of korea was shit and since he lived in korea he was as such a very good player. basically his arrogance just incites overwhelming dislike.

edit: he also cheated in brood war for the WCG qualifiers if i recall correctly.

Didn't he switch to being bad at LoL?

This is why I made the blog post, I think the situation with LS has become a lot of rumor mill type "he said she said" stuff. Trying to get him a bit more sympathy I guess, although I do think the interview is a really interesting listen in general.

Untrue. He has tons of respect for people like Ret, IdrA, etc and admits they're way better than him. He talks about his attitude in the interview.

he has lots of respect for ex foreigner BW pros, and smoe foreigners but if you ever watch his stream he often goes on rants about how shit the foreign scene is (well i remember seeing them occur first hand like a year ago), of course, once people realised he was bullshit they stopped caring.

Ontop of all the bm etc etc..

He made a hacking map on iccup in BW and went like 100-0 using it, after that everyone hated him.

He was banned from TL for rigging maps in BW, and it was either heavily rumoured (or confirmed?) that he cheated in other ways as well.

Recently he screwed up Red Bull Battleground, and people got cranky because people thought Day9 gave him a special personal invite that a lot of other people might have deserved.

I tried to listen to the video, but got really irritated by the way he talks. I also didn't believe a word he said about most of the stuff he talked about. A lot of excuses and rambling about nothing.

I don't know much about LastShadow other than he map hacked and spams APM a lot. And I've only seen one interview with him before, and I can't seem to find it again but he spent the whole 10-15 minute interview explaining why he map hacked and why people shouldn't think less of him because of it and generally trying to get sympathy for his actions

Isn't lastshadow the guy who started a fight with desrow?

Was a hacker? No respect and never getting it back
