Alphago vs God is a fitting rivalry. Although I would prefer no terran vs terran rivalry..... | ||

Last is statistically the best player on Afreeca right now. That just isn't enough to be called "God" even if he wins ASL. ASL championship along with best statistics would give him the title of "best player right now". That's about it. | ||

I don't even know how he defeats his opponents except that he has a crazy win rate and a tie against Flash. | ||

Lost in ro16 this ASL (also remember he auto seeded there so it doesn't change the fact that he knocked out like ro24 players). Is this is the end of AlphaGo's domination or will he come back even stronger next year? | ||

I love how he mixes in cheese. That game 4 scv pull vs Rain was magical. It really reminds me of MVP during his dominance in sc2, when he would mix in cheese at just the right points in an boX to change the momentum. I was honestly never much of a fan of Last, especially after he 4-0d Jaedong, but this ASL has really turned me into a fan. | ||

Seriously, guy is a monster and wrecked everyone while his wrists were fucked. Now if he wins a KSL/ASL while FlaSh is in there's no doubt this guy is can become best terran of current era. | ||

Now if he wins a KSL/ASL while FlaSh is in there's no doubt this guy is can become best terran of current era. But here is the fact, on courtesy of Letmelose: His wrists are fucked (even more so than the usual wrist injuries found in gamers). For the past several months, Last has been seeking medical attention on a daily basis, and is on pain mediciations non-stop. It is pretty bad. His condition will never get fully fixed, and people will just have to hope that his situation improves over time. I think, that Last has proved that he is championship material. He should really now rest and try to get healthy before military. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Translation of Last's interview after his ASL Season 7 triumph Q: How do you feel after having won both the KSL and ASL? A: I had barely any expectations when the league first began. My left arm wasn't well. I entered the league with the thought of merely playing up to par, but thankfully results went my way and I was able to go all the way because because my injuries got better over time. Q: What was the hardest moment for you? A: When I was preparing for the round of 16, the pain in my left arm was getting worse. It hurt every time I pressed the keyboard, and it was a nightmare to deal with. After seeking medical help and managing the pain, it got a lot better. Q: Does it hurt even now? A: I'm currently taking pain medications, and I also had injections to deal with the injuries. It's okay. I'm holding on. Q: How long do you think you can keep participating in tournaments in such a condition? A: I will do everything in my power to keep participating. I will make sure to enter the next tournament as the defending champion, and I will manage my injuries to the best of my abilities. Q: How did you prepare for the finals against Mini? A: Mini likes to harass a lot. To counter his style, I used wraiths to shut down his shuttle play. Wraiths are better than turrets against such a style because you can scout on top of being able to defend against Mini's shuttle play. Q: So was it your plan to overpower him after shutting down his harassment style? A: Yes. I felt as if I would have the upper hand going into the mid and late game if I didn't fall prey to his shuttle harassment. Q: You repeated your proxy factory strategy versus Rain against Mini as well on Block Chain. A: I used a similar strategy, and I knew that I won once the proxy factory landed successfully. Q: You became the first ever player to win both the KSL and ASL. What's next for Last? A: I enter every tournament with hopes of winning it all. I've heard that I am the first player to become the champion of both the major leagues ever since the era of ASL and KSL began. I hope to give performances worthy of such a title. Q: After defeating Sharp, you mentioned that it is a minimal requirement to win in a tournament without Flash, if you wish to claim to be the second best terran in the world, how do you feel having accomplished that requirement? A: I've been the second best terran around for quite some time (laughs). I'm glad to achieve my minimal requirement of winning a tournament without Flash participating. I will try to catch up to Flash's legacy by entering future tournaments also. Q: Do you think Flash will enter the next ASL? A: He was seeded into this tournament, but didn't enter it due to his wrists hurting. I hope he manages his condition, and compete besides me in the upcoming ASL. Q: Are you willing to share any tips for managing your wrist and arm pain? A: I'm sure Flash knows better than me. He even had surgery to deal with his pain way back in the days. Q: Any final words? A: I know a lot of fans had been worried about my worsening arm pain. I think I won due to their support. Thank you all for your support. | ||

On the one hand, I want him to do everything possible to minimize permanent wrist problems-- ie, give up the game at least temporarily. But I'm curious to see the ASL 8 Ro16 selection where he'll get a lot of attention. Nobody looks as comfortable as Rain on camera IMO, but it'd be nice to watch Last loosen up, even if just a little. On his stream, he acts a good bit differently than onstage, but nobody who doesn't watch his stream would know that. | ||
