Was sad to see HuK go, but he definately was not playing at the top of his game today. Some sloppy mistakes on his part through pretty much all of his matches. Sad to see Illusion and Ostijoy go so quickly as well. Perhaps Ostijoy is not on this level quite yet, but he put up some great games, very fun to watch games. | ||

Players can be bad relative to other pros, we've seen it happen a lot and no one holds it against them. However when they are as BM, as egotistical and with the background of cheating that LastShadow has had, there is some enjoyment to be taken by watching a player like Ret (a good, solid, honest foreign player) absolutely maul him. Dude, he was 14 when he cheated. And still I haven't seen anyone posting proof about LS being that total douchebag people try to make him out to be. On top of that, dying to that zealot+stalker was because he did an extremely greedy build, knowing he played against one of the top players in the world he took a huge risk, then made a small misstake, and boom he was dead, that's how it works at that level. | ||

It's also not particularly intelligent to cite the allegation that he was kicked out of the gom house as fact. It's a he said she said type if thing and none of the sources can reasonably be assumed to be more reliable than the others. Claiming that hate is warranted because LS cheated when he was 14 is also quite frankly unintelligent. Cheating as a teenager followed by not cheating again = forgiven. And you can't possibly blame LS for accepting the invite. As far as that goes you can only blame the people who invited him. Especially if you're not also criticizing sheth and ostijiy. In sum people are mad that LS got invited so they grasp at straws as reasons to hate him. Not only that but the criticism is out of proportion to the offense. It's probably a small group of people including Silverline posting again and again in this thread. Silverline clearly has a bone to pick because LS BMed him before. Sorry if you're still emotionally affected by that, maybe you should make a blog about it. | ||

What you could question is the people who invited him, like so many others already said, there were tons of people more deserving than LastShadow. we've already discussed this multiple times in the thread. Nobody is blaming him for being there, that's Day9's fault. We're blaming him for talking shit and acting like a hot shot and not being able to put up results. | ||

He is infamous for his BM and acting quite immature in the forums, apparently not much better in real life either as he was kicked out of the GOM house. I remember that around the same time, he tried to brag about his ladder points then was intercepted by Major who pointed out that he got paid by LS to ladder up that account. It doesn't seem that this is a "but now they are fine" thing with this guy. | ||

Sorry if you're still emotionally affected by that, maybe you should make a blog about it. At least get my name right when you're misrepresenting my views. I'm not emotionally affected by him being a jackass at all, I found it hilarious while it was happening. As I said, he was raging at me as he was losing. Do you honestly think that I would be mad in that situation? Would really love to see the proof if whatever terrible BM people are claiming from last shadow. I don't have bookmarks of LS being an idiot, and if I did I'm sure you would go off about me being obsessed. So my ability to search for that evidence is no better than yours. I wouldn't be surprised if someone came in with some links though. | ||

I'm appalled that TL mods haven't been on people like you, making insane and spiteful claims about players without so much as a shred of proof. The guy cheated when he was younger? So did KawaiiRice, TT1 and Dimaga, where's the lynching for them? If you know anything about Terran or SC2 in general, you can tell that LS is an incredibly talented player and deserves to be there just as much as any foreign Terran. Please name me a Terran foreigner who wouldn't have been smashed by two of the strongest PvTers in GSL and one of the strongest if not the strongest foreign ZvTer. Once again, TL disgusts me as it shows it's true colors as an internet highschool where you have to be in with the cool kids or you just get shit on because you;re not part of the popular clique. If you want to get mad at anyone, get mad at Day9 for inviting him, but the way people are deriding LS because he didn't do well in his first live tournament appearance is plain disgusting. | ||

He was beating himself in those games, his opponents weren't even relevant. If you do an extremely greedy mech build vs zerg and choose to attack with virtually nothing, you will get crushed by roaches. Your opponent may as well be in low masters if you're going to do that. The same thing goes for g1 against Squirtle, he lost to a zealot. You can't tell me that any random protoss player couldn't have done that. And he wasn't in a good position at all before that disconnect, that's why almost everyone thought he plug pulled(which he didn't). In fact he was in a pretty precarious situation, Squirtle was just about to hit a potent timing. If you want to say that one tournament isn't everything or give any other defense of LastShadow, that's fine. But to say that he didn't play god awful is just delusional. You may be right. To my defense, I was expecting the worst after scanning through this thread, and then watching the games, I saw nothing that really made me cringe. And that losing to 1 zealot thing (even though it could be argued that he lost to the stalker  ), I kind of discounted that as an instance of risk taking that doesn't work out.What bad luck? Above all, his group. | ||

If you want to get mad at anyone, get mad at Day9 for inviting him, but the way people are deriding LS because he didn't do well in his first live tournament appearance is plain disgusting. I think that it was an error on the part of Day9 to invite him, but a couple of things: Naniwa did have to turn down an invite and we have no knowledge of how many people did turn down invites, necessitating quick replacements. Lastshadow may just have been handy. Secondly, while Osotojiy put up a couple of better games, he ALSO went 0-6 in the Group Stage, yet no one shits on him. So the moral of the story seems to be: if you are ever accused of BM or cheating ever, people will hate on you for being a 'douchebag' or 'cheater', unless you are a gosu GSL player, in which case you get to do whatever the hell you want and it's awesome. Also seems to me that a bunch of people are mad just because they heard Incontrol's strong opinions on the subject (not just here, reddit and other forums as well). I respect Incontrol a lot, but I wish people would stop citing him as their own opinion and bother to go out and look up stuff for themselves instead of going with all this second-hand, hearsay stuff. It's not that LastShadow is a perfect flower of nice-ness and the most gosu player ever (because he's clearly not), but I think as awkward as this situation was, it's been blown out of proportion. Let's try to not have another Destiny/Orb situation here. | ||

Right now you just look like a total tool. | ||

You seem pretty good at telling people to go find the proof when it's not actually there lol. There has been no mention of kawaii/tt1/dimaga, no argument regarding whether other foreigners would also get smashe in the group due to the vT specialty of the opponents, and no actual proof or sources offered. | ||

Given that attitude why would I even bother? It's that type of approach that muddles up threads. Since you don't even check the last few pages it just makes the discussion go in circles. | ||
