He rigged maps when he was younger and still a TL member yeah, but he's played and beaten alot of top players Legit(look at Raleigh?) And he achieved A rank iccup and defeated white-ra and many others quite a few times, Sure rigging maps is bad, however other cheaters have been forgiven(haypro etc..) I think he deserves a second chance until proven otherwise.

readmore.de: A few days ago, Blizzard uncovered its plans for the first balance patch. Anything you have to say about that? Are you content with the timing and the changes? Do you care about balance at all?

ajtls: It's dumb, but not bad. Reapers will barely be affected, my BO is still viable in TvZ, so is every reaper build; instead of having 10 reapers, you'll have 9. The tank nerf is just silly, too. They should've waited much longer to make a balance patch, because surprise surprise, the players are learning how to play the game, and Protoss is starting to dominate with unfair results. As well as, in Korea, Z's dont seem to have a problem with Terran.

ajtls: It's fresh enough that any SC1 players can come over and shove-aside the people that haven't been playing since beta. I don't believe in mass practice, I believe in talent, and I believe in accelerated learning through studying replays, over playing games. I can learn 10x faster out of 1 of my own replays, win or loss, than I can if I play 20 ladder games. I continue to get better with every game I play, since I've only been playing since retail, I don't think I'm as good as I should be, but yeah.

ajtls: lastshadOw actually became my ID when I was playing around with a player named Kwark (now Teamliquid.net admin). At first it was Shadow[Siege], then LiquidShadow, then finally, a play off of lastgosu, using lastshadow. The ID ultimately means the last defense, or the final stand, as in the Reaper, or death bringer to end a battle. ajtls was just such a fun sounding name, and I really admired ajtls[S.O]'s play in SC1. I love how it sounds when it's pronounced fast with aye-jay-tee-el-es. It mean's "inhuman" or "machine" in Korean, it's just coincidence that it has the LS, which only helped to me adopting it. I go by both ID's.

Dunno why he always bashes Socke in his statements especially as "unorthodox, random, and very low-eco" is surely no justified description of Socke`s TvP which is strongly focused on map-control, drops and multitasking and differs from the standard 4 Gate or 3 Gate plus Robo builds we mostly see.
