Don't really care either way, he just lost to better players. yeah that about nails it. he talks shit, goes on and on about mechanics like they're the only element of the game and has an excuse for everything. he has about 50 excuses for why he has been in korea for ages without achieving anything and how foreign tournaments suck and he only wants to play against the best. i just can't stand his attitude. no doubt he'll be very keen to point out that computer freeze in the second game. | ||

Ya as if every pro other than Stephano is ignoring the build that beats this. MC plays a certain style of Toss from Parting and Squirtle. He doesn't use that build much. If Stephano meets those two and they do that build I will be interested to see if Stephano holds it. I have a hard time believing other Stephano knows something the other pros dont. If he can take down Squirtle or Parting doing that build then I will never question it again. | ||

Call me crazy but he pulled every excuse known to mankind after losing each Playhem match and giving that he played for hours and hours with fever looking like he will die on his stream I am honestly believing all that "mask thingie" is just escape/excuse card. | ||

No one would argue that LastShadow is anywhere NEAR MVP's skill, so I don't see why we would expect him to beat Squirtle. The games against Ret were disappointing because he lost Banshees due to missed micro and a couple of poor timing choices with his mech. And while I don't think that Day9 was necessarily wise to invite LastShadow from a PR standpoint, it was a replacement for Polt who had to back out, and there isn't anything wrong with giving unexposed players a chance to see if they can play with the big boys. If Day9 had invited literally anyone else in the world who had done some sort of progaming and was a current player, no one would have bitched (to this extent). They think it's simply because the two are friends. What about Sheth? Day9 practices with him and they're good friends, so why are we not upset about Sheth? True, Sheth has much more results than LastShadow, but I bet you could think of people who were arguably more skilled to TRY and invite (TO BE CLEAR: I AM NOT ARGUING SHETH SHOULDN'T BE THERE: it just seems to me that people are being harsher than necessary). It's not a matter of getting the 16 best players or 16 players with the most aggregate tournament appearances. People need to take a chill pill and just enjoy the games. That last game against Squirtle was pretty epic with the proxy hellions and then the bitbybit moment with Squirtle's EXCELLENT positioning and Storm timings. For me personally, the Lastshadow felt like it truly came out of left field. I mean, it's an invitational, so we as spectators to a free-to-watch tournament can't complain too much, but it just seems that Lastshadow just disappeared from the scene back in 2010 when he got 4th at an MLG and just suddenly pops back up. It's kind of like inviting a guy like Cauthonluck or something. Lastshadow was put in a pretty shitty position though. How do you turn down an invite like this, yet everyone expects you to fail (and some even hope you fail), and you are in a group with Ret, Squirtle and PartinG? A tough situation indeed. | ||

Here you go, and for everyone else who missed it, this was posted last week, so it's not as if this stuff is old " I think foreigners are terrible in StarCraft2 and don't deserve to beat Koreans." And thats not the only cases, he talks about it a lot. but that was the most recent. Heres the full interview: http://www.team-dignitas.org/articles/blogs/Interview/1430/Interview-with-Lastshadow-We-owe-a-lot-to-StarCraft-1-but-also-to-Korea-for-actually-making-it-an-e-Sport/ | ||
