You do know that this player has absolutely nothing to prove to any of you? Even if he is lying about some of the things that he says I don't really think that you can say that he is trying to excuse his performances. Tell-all interviews like this are exactly that: tell-all. If the interview simply went "Oh I didn't play well that day, sorry for bad games" then it would just be like every other interview from every other player. He knows that the reason he didn't win or do well, it was because he wasn't at 100% that day. He is simply trying to detail why he wasn't at 100% that day (which is the question that was asked of him). It's pretty obvious from this thread that many of the people posting in here have never had athletic pressure on their shoulders. When you are in a tournament or a game and all the eyes are on you, your team/family/whatever is resting all their hopes on you... It's incredibly stressful for some people, and if you aren't in the right mindset when you walk into it, it can break you and it can break your game. | ||

I think most people that actually dislike him have had personal negative experiences with him. He used to be super cool and talk to me on skype and stuff, but in videos always talk shit about how bad NA players are. I beat him on NA ladder and then he wouldn't respond on skype anymore. His failure in a tournaments means nothing to me. shit, I've bombed out of 2 mlgs first round because I'm an idiot that gets nervous. But to completely stop talking to someone because they beat you on NA ladder? On top of doing nothing but cheesing almost every game on the korean server then bragging about winning? Really? | ||

He definitely is one of the more rage-y guys in the Starcraft scene and that isn't something that demands a lot of respect from me. But when someone conducts a tell-all interview, you can't get mad at the interviewee for being completely honest. This is one of the greatest Starcraft interviews because Lastshadow has no organization whispering the "correct" answers in his ear and nothing holding him back from just laying it down on the table. Very, very, very few other players can bring such blunt honesty to any discussion, and that in it's own right should be admired, even if the things he's saying or doing aren't agreeable. | ||

I have a friend who talks just like LS in this interview. If he said that happened to him it either didn't happen at all, or he exaggerated a lot. So no, we can't find out. | ||

Ive felt this before (mostly when watching his Vlogs) but this guy is a freaking genius. Smarter than I can put in words, he's just flat out genius. People have trouble realizing this (or maybe it's giving recognition to it) b/c they have their panties in a bunch about something he did as a kid (and seriously...who the fuck hasnt made a mistake as a kid? it's what you're supposed to fucking do, I'd be more upset if he didn't learn from his mistake, which he obviously has), or his abrasive attitude (which i actually love about him), or his blunt honesty (which ppl try to blind themselves to by calling "liar liar"[and they're obviously wrong]). I know he'll never actually read this, but I just wanted to tell him LS, there's at least 1 fanboy out here, rooting for you, regardless of what you choose to do with your life. I'm so proud of the things you've done (Things I myself could never do). Also, his view on balance is exactly what i've been trying to tell basically everybody ever. If you're not the top top top tier pro gamer, then you have no right to balance whine. It's your own fault for not being good enough, just fucking get better, worry about your own gameplay, then you'll notice that things that seemed unfair before, are actually super fucking easy (because you're actually playing good enough now..) | ||

I am one, and the best conversations I've had are like this interview, going deep into the issues, cutting through the bullshit and small talk. i could talk about my personal life with a stranger any time, but put me in a larger group of ppl and I'm a spectator, i let others do the talk. | ||

That being said, he came off as extremely negative and cynical, as well as continuously making excuses for his life. Yes he has had a hard life, and yes there have been many things that have gone wrong for him, but this seems to be a guy who does not seem to be able to move on and rebuild. It's a shame. But what do I know, and these are only my impressions. Either way, he's a very interesting person and this was a very interesting interview. | ||

I turned on his stream once and the first thing I heard him say was bashing Snute for being bad after he won HSC. | ||

Yes he is one of the worst judges of skill EVER. It's laughable to hear him talk about the game, he has great ideas but the way he judges player skill is just trash. | ||
