For those of you who may not know me, I am ls/lastshadow, a 19year old American Zerg/Terran player from the USA who has been living in Korea for the last four months and had previously lived with MVPB/ProS, and am now residing at the GOMHouse. I plan to continue to stay in Korea indefinitely, all other achievements/information can be found elsewhere, thanks.

Hi everyone, I'm making this thread to better keep track of my vLogs for everyone, and also use it as a tool to gain insight on what to do for future vLogs etc (such as answering questions, discussing certain topics, etc). I should be making one vLog every few days, where sometimes they'll discuss strategy, and other's just life in Korea/general discussion about the community/and whatever else.



Please note all the vLog's will most often start off with some minor updates on some basic things for one to two minutes that are not related to the title, however will surely contain what the title suggests.



I will be adding replay packs periodically as well, and they can be found below. I will update them bi-weekly.

Btw if you wanna shorten or change your ID just do it when ever you get on a team since that would be an easy way to make it official. ^_^v

Good vLogs =) You talk about very interesting and fun stuff. I hope you're training goes well and your hand heals properly so we can see you with some good success.

Question: In vlog #7, you mentioned how the korean's "gave up" on other koreans who went to foreign teams to get more money. Do those players who switched such as Phoenix, Yong, etc. get bashed or looked heavily down upon by the korean scene?

Hey LS, just a general topic you can give us in a future vLog. Could you give us a little insight to your training regimen? I understand you play 60+ or so games a day, and watch replays from the ending to the beginning. What I'm trying to understand is how do you evaluate a "successful" day of training. For example, in the games you played, did you improve on a certain skill? Mechanic? Build? Timing? Or was it successful as in you got a lot done? Did you achieve any goals set out?

I understand playing a lot certainly improves a players ability to play/understand the game. What I don't understand is how one would evaluate their own progress. Simply grinding games willy-nilly won't improve a player; however, a player with goals, and a plan would get better results. I'm just tryign to get at your mindset for a daily routine and the things you want to accomplish day to day.

Sorry XD, didn't meant to offend you if I did, that just proves my lack of knowledge. I'll edit that out, didn't realize there were 2 illusions but I'm glad i know now =)
