Hi everyone, my name is Nick De Cesare and my ID is ls. I'm 18yrs old and a Zerg/Terran player from the USA. I was formerly known as ajtls. I currently live with my Korean friend on my own, in South Korea. Formerly I lived at the GOMHouse Prior to this I lived at the ProS house (formerly MVPB) from August until October.
I understand a lot of people are uneasy with me because of my past and I won't hold it against anyone who wants to speak out about it. It's just a huge privilege to be allowed back into this community, and I thank TeamLiquid so much for giving me this chance. Also, I'm working on my manner, and understand I can get hotheaded sometimes during games, but I mean none of it personally as I'm truthfully just angry at myself. However, I'm slowly but surely working on biting my tongue.
If you have any questions for me or want to request any replays from games you see on stream, feel free. Also discuss my stream here . You can pm or also reach me at these links:
Going to stream a bit now until I have to do some coaching later ~; either just ladder games or custom games, don't know which yet. I'll try to interract w/ chat on stream in between matches :D
Thanks soooo much for the coaching. Your an amazing teacher that really should have more viewers and fame. After the lesson I was beating every single zerg in my platinum league and 90% in diamond. Finally after you helped me with my problems I am now top 25 diamond
Hi, I've arrived in Korea, and been here for 5days, I'm going to stream ladder games right now if possible, but bare with me as I'm still adapting to setup/etc.
My computer has been having really weird problems lately, and no one can figure out what. Sometimes the FPS is normal at 200, othertimes it drops to as low as 30. And it's not an overheating issue or anything, tried so many different things .
Bare with me and sorry if the screen goes black (BSOD)

Wasn't this a problem in beta before Blizzard capped the fps in the menu? The fps would be like unlimited and skyrock and fry the shit out of your gfx. High fps ingame tho should never be a problem.

That is correct, however for streaming you don't want your source FPS 3x higher than your capture FPS. If you put them closer together you will get a noticeable performance boosts or be able to stream at higher quality.
Wait a minute, I remember you. I met you at one of culture crew gaming's tournaments a long while back in Maine, the name ajtls always stuck with me. But I never thought lastshadow was the same person as ajtls ^^.

Answered in his latest Vlog #6 -
Essentially, his hand problems are very serious so he's taking it easy for now.
Do you plan on enabling vods? I'd love to check out your stream, but since its not listed on TL i can never seem to catch you live. But i would love to watch the vods if they were available.
anybody know how many people "wanting" it, it normally takes to get someone featured?
in any case, feature this guy, his storyline as well as skilllevel should be enough to make him interesting, i think theres no question he will get the intention if people can see his stream
I must say, you are pretty good. Found out about you from the Artosis interview and then started watching your vlogs. I look forward to seeing your name show up in the GSL! Keep up the stream so far it is a very good one.

Maybe because he isn't featured and gets so few viewers? (could be wrong I guess)

i really really wish this stream could be featured, basically every day when i check for streams i (like most others) quickly scan the sidebar, and a few months ago i would alwats click open the big list and look for "L" -.- so annoying! pls featured

You can always add him to your favorites until he is featured to avoid looking through the big list.
I used to have a bad opinion of ls and give this guy shit because of his past, but after watching him for a bit, he's obviously learned from his past mistakes and is a sick good player now and better person. This stream is amazing. gogo lastshadow!!
awesome stream dude! i love everytime you commentate your games, and all the little tips like the thing about mutalisks and plz get featured here soon!
Yeah people should watch especially if you want to learn mechanics. I remember when he played Zerg I learned so much about creep spread. He was ridiculous with that crap.
lastshadow is a really amazing player guys. PLease check him out. he gives great advice on every single match up. start watching him now see him turn into an even more amazing player
Congrats on you getting a computer to finally stream on Nick. I'm watching some of the 9 hour video that was saved on your twitch.tv.
I have a question about your MULEing, and maybe you addressed this in a vlog already (sorry if I missed it) but I noticed that you're putting all of your MULEs on the closest mineral patches. The last trip for the MULE, after it grabs the minerals will not make it to the command center and you will lose the 27 minerals completely. If you put a MULE on the farthest/middle length mineral patches (away from your cc) it will go perfectly so that you won't lose those 27 minerals.
Am I missing something? Last time I checked this was the case. Plus when you put mules on the farthest mineral patches that means more mining later on for your scv's to be on closer mineral patches.
Sorry if this is incorrect I'm pretty sure it might be, I'm just missing something.
Wow just after watching your first game, while not that great still, I'm instantly hooked. I don't know if there's any other NA Terran player as fast as you. Its so hard to tell how good you really are because you havent been to a recent MLG. Better than qxc? illusion? possible.
hey i have been watching lots of your vlogs and streams. Your so good and should push fro a featured stream on teamliquid . Just curiouse how you got your computer and was that playing in the fnatic house just a one off?
Even in the games you don't win I'm just learning insane shit from your unit control. Its amazing watching the way you expand your bases/army through the map.
So how is this guy still not featured when he provides replay packs, information packed vlogs, participates in many playhems, and streams regularly for hours a day?
It's just kind of strange how some other people can get featured so easily with little criteria. Feels like a poor system to me.

I'm with you. It might have something to do with his poor history at TL, being temp banned for cheating in BW, etc.
I don't know who he is but I tuned in for the first time and I can hardly hear anything he says. The volume is too low + he talks too softly. There's lots of background noise from other people talking more loudly than him too.
Still streaming, right now hanbin(former zenex team player) is on and swapping off with me every so often. lol come watch ~ will be streaming all night until ladder reset.
People should watch more Ls.If you are a terran that wants to watch a mix of epic mechanics,smart play,good chat interaction and more watch this guy..He streams a lot,and he has great game knoweledge!Gogo Ls
Learned so much from you. Watching you play is inspiring. I really don't understand how come more people are not aware of you. The amount of knowledge you give away for free on your stream is beyond what most so called coaches would charge for.
TL needs to do this community a favor by featuring this guy's stream!
LS this dude is to good I really hope he keeps up this momentum and starts getting the recognition he deserves. Your stream is blowing up bro! If you want to learn some amazing builds with really really informative things you should be doing while playing than you need to follow him.
You're amazing :D really cool how you actually analyze everything that you do, also you're an extremely fast player really fun to watch. You should absolutely be featured
Last Shadow is Gosu~~ He definitely deserves to be featured on TL in my opinion; he his a very good player, and his high APM style of play makes him fun to watch--more importantly he is a very knowledgeable player that does in-depth commentary, which is what I believe to be the most valuable type of commentary. This is why I believe he deserves the feature.

Please feature LastShadow!!! He peaked at 700 viewers tonight at like 11pm PST.
(and i was following him b4 it was cool, just for the record)
He had way more than 700 viewers at peak. It was closer to 1k.
After lurking for quite a while, I finally made an account just to say how much I enjoyed Lastshadow's stream tonight. The commentary was great, as a platinum level player I learned a lot. Hope to see more of your stream in the future!
I know I'm not part of the TL community, but I sure do watch ALOT of streams and tournaments. This guy deserves to be recognised for the information and discussions he is willing to share as he streams. He explains builds as he executes them and actually explains his positioning and thought process incredibly well considering he is playing at the same time.
There needs to be more recognition given to the lesser known streamers on TL in my opinion, and this guy deserves a spot on that featured list. It shouldn't be about viewer numbers, it should be about the quality of the stream. And this is the highest quality stream I have seen. If only it didnt't take Day[9] to tell me about the stream I would have been watching it all along.

haha he had around 900 after the daily i assumed it dipped down fast tho since it got near midnight for east coast
Being Korean GM level puts him at around probably top 20 foreigners/top 5 foreigner terrans (at least in terms of practice skill, no saying how that correlates to tournament results), which should really alone qualify him for a feature, let alone his super informative commentary!

Only thing that matters to who? When you're watching a player stream you're not watching them play "turnaments", you're watching them practice, so I'd say practice skill matters quite a bit. Anyone with a brain can see that LS's mechanics are way beyond the majority of featured foreigner pros, why should someone like TT1 or Axslav be featured based on bs meaningless foreigner tournament results and LS not be featured?
Feature him plz. He deserves it if he's going to keep up the kinda stream we all saw last night.
btw AluXez, he isn't going to "turnaments" because he doesn't care about them. he wants to be the best, so hes practicing his ass off to reach that. Having a solid stream has nothing to do with results in foreign tournaments. Stop your hating.

So a few games against random people are more important than the skill you show everyday? lol
I hope you guys know that TL has a clear feature policy. part of it is that if you consistently get like 300plus viewers your chance of getting featured rises. so it's good if you keep posting here but more importantly watch the stream regularly.

Those people most likely have had good showings in tournaments. TL's policy for featured streamers is based on popularity or tournament success.
Well, there are some people like Pomi and Hui who are not featured even tho they have 1k viewers. I guess thats maybe because most of their viewers are from Russia/Taiwan tho?

I would like lastshadow but he spams way too much and his gameplay isnt that impressive even tho he is so try-hard to be a korean hes just as good as destiny or any other lower than average forienger really. The spam actually turns me away from your stream everytime it's quite painful to watch; (

he's going to be GM on the KR ladder this season, so he's auto twice as good as destiny, so nice try. people who hate on apm-spam most likely are verrry low level as it's never a bad thing.

That same Yosh account you paid me to get you in GM so people would keep believing that you're good? ever since you got on that account you went 4-6 gl with the slayers tryout ex-friend
there's your proof. GEHGEH GUY WHO THINKS HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. yea im talking to you CarlMikael.nice try.
Stop bringing up stupid shit, major/desrow stopped posting because I posted the truth against their fabrications and GOM was on the verge of getting involved. Juan didn't follow through with his end of the deal (something skype logs/he could confirm) he played barely any games, didn't get me GM, as if it's even relevant, I've shown I can more than enough go toe to toe with korean gm's consistently (and on stream ive done so) thanks for your concern though.
edit - thanks to TL admins for modding this thread ^_^ i appreciate it ~
Just tuned in a couple days ago due to the Day9 plug, and have been blown away by both your gameplay and the way you think about the game. Massive amounts of kudos for maintaining that level in Korea. Your 6-rax TvP and CC-first marauder/hellion timing in TvZ are so much fun to watch.

Yeah man, because everything MajOr says is absolute fact. Well done.
Been super impressed with the commentry as well as the play. The commentry is amazingly helpful when trying to look at the game in a more advanced or different way.
Your stream is awesome, I hope you can stream your games as much as possible. You explain things which no other foreigner explains, I really like in-depth analysis and maths. Also, I'm blown away by your use of hotkeys and screen keys. I started doing it myself and my APM went up a lot in like 2 days
Great stream!!!! Nice with commentary, especially the commentary you did right after the Day9 episode. And make sure Hanbin makes your ramen, you're older, korean culture....
This stream seriously deserves to be featured. The synchronization of high level analysis, keyboard hulk smash sounds, and honbin "THANK youuu~" is simply too fantastic to be denied.
I just started watching him and i believe that he is skilled terran player and hes stream can help many terrans improve . Thanks LS i can win vs toss as before i was mainly loosing ... i will watch him as often i can and would be nice if he gets featured soon :D:D:D GL LS !!!
A lot of ppl say Kas is the best foreign terran but, but i think ThorZain and LastShadow are a way better ...I hope gets featured and we see great things from him in the future !
Like you a lot and all, but you should gg some time. It's just really pathetic to see you play (and lose, for once - doesn't happen that often) a 40 minute game and then go out without gg. It just keeps you down and tight. Chill and embrace the losses as learning experiences. Same goes for your aggro builds (I refrain from calling them cheese). Just gg out of there - you can't win every game.
This guy should definitely get featured. He consistently gets over 200 viewers when he streams and he is arguably one of the best foreign terrans at the moment.

He doesn't BM or rage quit. Just because he doesn't type 'gg' before surrendering doesn't mean it's a bad thing.
Gogo LastShadow! I'd say that this stream is the most educationally efficient stream out there, you can stop by for 15 minutes and you'll learn something useful, or you can stay for hours and learn a ton.

really sad to people stoop as low as you You're either a mean person or you just don't know better, either way you should refrain from making posts like these, everyone is human, and leaving without GG is a good way to help relieve some stress, and if the game was a shitty game, it's fine to just not type GG, if I get a win that i shouldn't have, I'm perfectly fine with my opponent leaving without a GG, in fact I encourage it.

Shit, just look at how many of his opponents leave without a GG.
I also like watching him quite often and I also think he should at least give a gg and not just leave. Just because someone else does it does not mean you should. Beyond that, I enjoy the stream.

I don't know if he's trolling, because I have observed the same thing in lastshadow's play. A decent amount of sloppy mistakes because he is too busy spamming as fast as he possibly can.

I promise you if he wasn't spamming he'd make the same mistakes he makes while "spamming". It isn't an issue of hes to focused on spamming he makes those mistakes, the spamming is NATURAL to him. Playing that fast is just what he does naturally. If he was focused on spamming he wouldn't beat high level korean players. The mistakes are mistakes regardless of if hes spamming or not.
gL'hF it's fun watching your streams, it should get featured, and by the way i think promoting your past is not that good, im sure we are aware and have grown out of that ^^

I'm in agreement with this. I don't think there's anyone promoting it, in the truest sense of the word, but I would argue that the original post would look better if it didn't instill a degree of uncertainty about LS due to it's vagueness.

Yeah who the hell are guys like ilovev who have 5 viewers at the moment and Lastshadow isn't featured?
Now, now... ilovev is a pillar of bw community in post-Soviet lands, organizer of tourneys (well, until the money ran out), and a very funny guy if you are lucky enough to understand Russian, ookee?
But lastshadow should certainly be featured, for the good of the community.

I'm not lucky enough to understand Russian, only the mutalisk micro
Ilovev might deserve it, but doesn't that mean that LS would deserve it that much more? We're talking about a guy who has posted hours insane strategic knowledge for free....
The past is past, there is a saying in Tibetan thaat "at the door of the miserable rich man sleeps the contented beggar" The of this saying is not that poverty is a virtue but that happiness does not come from wealth, but from setting limits to ones desires and living withing those limits with satisfaction" -Daila Lama . What does this have to do with anything? Nope. I tell you I just thought Id sounded cool since I can't think of a quote on dwelling on the past. He was humbly apologetic anyways, this stream need to be featured or is this a dictatorship where the lower percent on top get to decide? We all do dumb things when were young, its time to move on really. I say people speak so it get featured or it need featured.
In Lieu of it he should still be featured now. He diffidently meets the criteria of being a featured streamer along with how often he streams.
I think he should be featured, but you have to admit that is a fairly convincing reason to be kept in the dog house, even if you have cleaned up your act enough to be allowed back onto tl. Thanks for finding that btw. Edit: I also like his play style, the reactor hellions vs protoss is a nice touch. Is he living in a team house?
TL mods need to answer this question. Why isn't Nick (LS) featured? I am pretty sure everyone has a past. They shouldn't be butthurt cuz someone who was like 14 at time did something stupid.

using words like "butthurt" to disrespect the people who he disrespected in the past through his actions isn't a good idea, especially when they're the ones who can feature him rofl

Yeah, I definitely meant proof that this is the reasoning behind them not featuring him, but thanks anyway I guess.
Yes, that's the reason why he was banned from TL for a long period not the reason why he's not featured.
He has been forgiven so it shouldn't be a problem anymore, there's plenty of featured streamers on TL who has done shadier stuff than LS did when he was 14 years old.
It'd be nice if some mod posted here something about his stream status right now.
He gets what so many other Terrans don't. Which is that tanks and banshees are really good against zealot/archon/collosus. It's absurd that people think they deserve to beat that kind of gas heavy late game composition with just MMM.

Read carefully I didn't say they were butthurt, I said they SHOULDN'T be butthurt, now... are you butthurt about the word butthurt ?
guys, LS's history is buried now, as is the less than reputable history of many now popular players and streamers. I think we can all agree that LS deserves to now be featured out of the quality and quantity of his streaming and arguing about this sort of stuff is trivial.

Thanks nick for an awesome stream ^^
This is ignoring the fact that he is pretty BM on ladder. He rages at Koreans on the ladder because they did a build he didnt like. He isnt helping his chances here.

nice reading comprehension yourself, especially considering you're parsing what you wrote. rofl nice try grasping, hope you saved your internet pride
I've been watching ls a bit, and knowing what ls was like in the past (ie like 8 months ago: "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" rofl hhahhah, and then his behavior when he did that 24h stream or whatever) I don't actually like him since I think his current attitude is fake. I think he's good and popular enough to be featured, attitude doesn't really matter since lots of people watch him imo. that said the choice is in the hands of tl so its best not to be rude
Good lord people still in this thread talking about LS "past" the guy was14-17 for fucks sake. You know all the shit i did at that age? Before anyone talks shit about LS take a look in the mirror and think about if you had to justify every dumb ass thing you did as a teen to everyone.
ON a brighter note LS you rock i try watching your stream to learn to play better but your mechanics are so silly fast i dont pick up much =P great games though! Keep fighting dude.

Wasnt trolling! On the other hand I really enjoy when hes talking about the games...he really provides really good knowlege of the game, but hes is too hung up in the spamming part of the game, or as he calls it, having mechanics. If i was a terranplayer i would really watch when he talks about the games, but watching him play 8 hours a day? Not so much
Since that other thread got closed, I'll write it here:
That 222 game marathon is an awesome thing. I ll watch as much as I can live and I'll definitely watch the rest in the videos. I am mid-masters EU terran and I am learning so much from your stream sessions.
Hope you can show us some more of that mass Thor/raven transition in the TvZ lategame. But i guess a lot of them would be too long for a 222 game marathon. Do you think that thor/raven stuff will be the future of mech TvZ?
First... screw the Mods for closing the other thread. Thats just awful.
Second... dude ls, I will love to see you streaming for long. BUT ... don't force yourself to do the 222 games, because you promised it. Just give us an "event". As u said, give us some fun games, some lessons, some coaching, some pure laddering and just do a streaming marathon with a lot of fun. But dont force those 222 games, we dont want you to be sick afterwards.
Why did they close that thread? Jesus. So many ridiculous threads gets to live but when someone wants to do something where people can actually learn, thread gets closed. I see the logic. Anyway I'll be there!

I was about to agree with you but I read the mod post and I guess it would be more appropriate to announce something like that on this thread instead. At the same time, I know what you mean - there have been previous threads for some ridiculous marathon/charity streaming with their own threads that don't get closed iirc.
Hope that 222 game marathon turns out good! i'll drop in whenever i get the chance
Ls plays in the Playhem dailies sometimes, and he has attempted to qualify for Code A 2 or 3 times before. He said he's not interested in international tournaments, only Korean ones.

Judging by the amount of time between the last finals and the last Code A qualifiers, they're likely at the very end of May.
Agreed with the above poster, talENTsc. I think we can all agree that he's got a shady past, but he's got a real skills now without any cheating, and I think players can learn a lot from him. Hell, Day9 just featured his TvZ mech for a Daily. I think he deserves a shot, IMO.
Please Feature LS TL - He has amazing stream quality and really cares about his fans too. Not to mention he usually has more viewers then half the featured streams just from his followers!
Oh man, thought he is featured so I did believe it's enough to just hangaround in TL and I'll notice when his stream gets online. I hope he gets featured.

no he don't. at least not yet. He's friend with ToD, and therefore visited him ^^ btw TL should absolutely feature him, his style is so amazing and unique !
If LS cares about his stream and viewers he should really easy things up with Scarlett. I do understand friendships and whatever but as viewer of LASTSHADOW's stream Scarlett just ruined it for me in last couple of days, and everyone who watched will at least partially agree (black screens every few mins are just NOT what one would expect from SC2 stream)...

Yeah, is a little disappointing to tune in to watch and have the majority of the time you're there the black screen is up. Keep that shit off stream LS, or let us in on it
I understand the black screen thing. What I don't understand is running adverts constantly all the while there being almost no content to watch. for shame lastshadow.

Glad to see him back in action, though I am really surprised to see you back in Korea already. Would've though that you take the opportunity of being in the u.s. to do an extendet vacation, but I guess that's how you are. :-)
If you watch the featured streamers at any given point, there is always at least 1 player LS is better than, so, skill wise, he really should be featured.

There's a bit more to being featured than that, and even that isn't remotely true. Anyways, I was happy to see LS leave this scene and wish he hadn't come back.
Oh well, best of luck reforming his image and growing up a bit.

TL features streams based on tournament results or popularity. Though Ls's stream did hit over 200 viewers yesterday.

One of the things that hurts the scene worse than a player who forfeits a match is a community that acts as a plague unto itself. Last Shadow doesn't need to reform his image. He needs to win an important game. Look at Stephano, who completely killed his image by stabbing Complexity Gaming in the back. Does anyone care about that? Everyone seems to have forgiven Naniwa for throwing his game against NesTea since his recent performance in the GSL.
So many equal or worse actions have been forgiven, and I'd bet you like a lot of players who have done a lot worse things. If LastShadow keeps training, and he takes his competition very seriously, and he gives it his all, he can certainly have a shot at attaining his redemption. If and when that happens, you'll probably be the first in line to bandwagon onto his fanclub.

Here's the thing, though. Naniwa hasn't acted out of line since then and managed to go far in the GSL. Previous to this he also managed to post good results. The same thing happens with Stephano, TL gets hurt if they don't feature him simply because he is such a wonderchild at the game.
LS has in his SC2 career been laying low and playing the Korean ladder and when his first chance to prove his worth arose (wait, 2nd since he skipped the code a qualis) he bombed out and left without explanation drawing even more negative attention to himself and further damning himself in the eyes of the SC-community. Noone in BW would touch him with a 10 foot pole because he acted out of line multiple times and he is showing the same tendencies in SC2.
TL;DR - Naniwa and Stephano post actual results and that is why they are featured/popular even though they have acted out. LS has done nothing to deserve to be featured and TL are not in the wrong.

I don't recall saying TL was wrong, Last Shadow should be featured, or that Naniwa and Stephano don't post good results. You essentially repeated everything I said, and tried to use it as an argument against me. LastShadow only needs to improve his play. He doesn't need to fix his image, because SC2 history has shown us that it doesn't matter what you do, as long as you post a good result sometime in the future. I don't understand how your response supports or denies that point.
This discussing is going off track from the intent of the thread. I was more or less responding to his direct and rather personal insult, not the post he was replying to.
say, where is ls streaming from right now? when I saw that chair it remembered me immediately of Korea. but he seems to live in a sort of team house...?
lastshadow should not even have his stream listed in non-featured, he had no respect for the GGnet community wen he was apart of that ttam, he would only post replays of him beating good players with cheese, and if sum1 disputed his skill he rambled and cried about it. he has no respect for any1 and thinks he is sum all mighty sc2 player.
I'm really against him being featured. His behavior is childish and disgusting when he plays on NA server and loses to those he flames after/while playing.
Also, instead of whining about random stuff he should commentate on decision making, as i respect him as a solid player.

Not gonna go through this discussion again, pretty disrespectful to have several page-long discussions about it in the guy's own thread. But if you want to know you could just search for "lastshadow" here on TL and you'll find out.
Can anyone tell me what keyboard lastshadow has? I know it's not a mechanical one, but it's a lot cheaper than one too, and still really high quality. I have a mechanical one and don't like the clickyness of it at all. I think the keyboard he uses is something that would work for me. So yeah if anyone could help me out I'd love it. Thanks

In Korea I hear you can buy it just by asking for the "starcraft Keyboard". From what I understand at one point it was used by almost every pro-gamer in Korea. Just a rubber dome, but it has really good action and excellent key-size. IMO mechanicals are a little too small. I prefered the size of my Dell Quietkey before this one.
Also there are a lot of options for mechanicals that are not "clicky" if you look into MX Browns, Blacks and Reds.
well, that was dissapointing... When i saw your stream online i rushed to open it, only to see league of legend... Well i closed it as fast as I opened it ^^

Yes, I'm afraid. Sadly he doesn't play sc2 anymore, at least not on stream. It's a pity, really, but it's his stream and his time so there's nothing we can do about it.
Guy going downhill again. I was supportive when he was putting effort into SC2 a few months ago but right now he's just wasting away on LoL. I won't say anything if he ends up having success with it but I can't imagine it. And seeing how his SC2-fans seem to have donated over 1500 bucks in his chip-in so he can "stay as a pro gamer in Korea", him playing LoL all the time is even more painful. Please go away now, lastshadow.

Really? Holy shit, Nick. You just reached a new low.
The 1500 dollar donation never fully went through and stuff happened (this snowballed into me stopping sc2) a lot of stuff happened with it and then other stuff occurred. I stopped SC2 for reasons which would take paragraphs to type. Ultimately I had/have offers in place for other stuff and I had to priotize them as no one has any idea what my situation is like in Korea, so they should cease to comment on it.
Me playing LoL is something I chose to do when stuff arose that presented the possibility, I'm not doing it for "fun". I'm on the first wave of HoTS beta-invites and I'll be playing/streaming that.
As for the coaching stuff it's quite bullshit lol, there were two incidents where something *close* but not completely similar happened and I asked numerous other large figures in the community what to do, in the end, yes there was a coaching session that never went through and this was around the time of red-bull and completely shocked me (hence why I asked others opinions on what to do).
Please keep the thread on topic of my stream please, cause all the other non-sense is just paltry. I'll start streaming more SC2 when HOTS beta is out, but I'm unsure where it will go.

You're being purposefully vague. If it would take you paragraphs to write, write them. People giving you 1500 dollars isn't something to take lightly, as is you bailing on your coaching obligations while taking the money.
If anyone should realize you need to protect your reputation it's you, so refute this in a decent way or this community will have to sanction you in one way or another.
You're right that it doesn't belong in your streaming thread though, so I expect you to make a blog explaining yourself to those that supported you (monetarily).
To all others in this thread: please don't discuss this until he gets his statement out.
Uh no, the coaching thing is not bullshit. I paid for them personally and he makes it impossible to schedule the lesson on purpose or just avoids you completely. And if you say fine if you don't have time then give me my money back, he refuses refunds and calls you names as a result. None of it had to do with redbull or anything other than people paying money and you not following through. Clearly I am not the only one who has had this experience.

Here you go. Now please calm down and we can all resolve this without acting like 5 year olds. Pretty disappointed about how this was handled by both sides...
This video is terrible beyond words, considering his still vague response to he took donations but only a percent blah blah blah. In regards to the coaching, he is flat out lying in my situation, and making it sound like he was some reasonable saint and someone else was just being outrageous. I will clarify for everyone what happened between Nick and I and fill the gaps he leaves out. First of all, if you message him he might not respond for weeks if he even does respond. And then if you say when can you coach, he either wont answer that question, or give a vague time, like "early Sunday morning". Clearly you need to set a firm time, and you can message him for 3 days straight and he wont confirm a time, and this cycle repeats itself with him over and over and over. I mean I must have messaged 10 times to just set a day, and then you message him 20 times to set a time on one of those days and he purposefully avoids you.
Now this is where the video gets funny, he says, I tried to not be a dick and tell him there are no refunds.......However this is how he actually said it word for word on skype " [8/26/2012 7:40:17 AM] IM LS---Nick: i dont recall anywhere saying there is refunds, lol, i dont recall being apart of a sign organization or anything that gives refunds to hormonal 10 year olds that act like a fcking child". And Nick goes on further "i mean you still have 4hrs there is no where that outlines the quality of the lessons however"....
Now before that here are some other messages from that same conversation from Saint Nicholas " [8/26/2012 7:39:12 AM] IM LS---Nick: do you think you even deserve lessons at this point? lol. My response "that or my money back". If you all notice I am still saying I want the "quality" lessons I paid for or a refund .. But his repsonse to my request for the refund or the actual lessons was--Saint Nicholas " oh no....well you can get lessons and they can be the worst in the world, if you like. I'll explain a marines dps, and how it moves etc"...My response "then give me my money back"
And this conversation went on before that that's even better. He goes on to say it took me how long to get masters, and that I am a retard for not being overjoyed for being stood up by him all the time and so on (paraphrased here).
Now all of you can decide, should he be allowed to advertise his coaching on TL if he refuses refunds in the manner I demonstrated above, with his name calling, and saying he will give me the worst lessons in the world? The guy is a liar and a thief, clearly it wasn't just my money he took. Don't believe a word he says.
lol Chat-log's below. Messaging me once every two weeks and acting like a child after all is said and done is a lie. You don't flame someone IRL over and over because you fail to make ends meet and then expect them to give you a "good service" even though we spent four hours handling it after you flamed me, and I to you, because that's just not how thing's go:
Additionally you can see how he takes days/weeks to respond to even a month, or just ignoring what I said. This is all pretty cute.

It's my mistake to not specify a time Sunday morning in this latest chat log, yes, but again, as the person trying to obtain the service he doesn't message me the day before to confirm (in a 2day time period) or make any efforts just like in the past, when I've made it publically known that in Korea, I'm not always around/etc, and this can be seen in the earlier chat-logs.
Hope people read this in full, we then go on to get pretty aggressive in chat, I drag him into a call with my manager where he insults me IRL/etc and thus I respond accordingly. A person acting like this, lying like this, and ultimately just acting like a child etc I outright didn't want to even continue to give the lessons to (this was the "4th" case in the video). After hourly debate with my manager (who again handles most of my online calendar-esque stuff and as of late some coaching stuff/website stuff), I told the guy to wait until I return to SC2 (HOTS-beta) and that I would give him the last lessons in a few weeks (9-17~9.20 range) as that would allow me to refamiliarize myself with the meta/current builds/etc, and also for us both to "calm down" in a sense since we clearly we not getting along at this point.
[edit removed due to a request from the third-person involved as the possibility of a skype error)
EDIT - Split up the dates rather than one long chat-log from skype so it's easier to see the disappearances/easier to read.
The problem with the sound with your video recording of the coaching session is that xsplit uses the SPEEC audio codec which most players (including vlc) can't playback. If anyone has that problem use "M player".
I think you're doing well commentating and explaining with your progamer mindset and knowledge. However, you could try to vary your language a bit, noticed you used the word "superior" repeatedly. It's just boring to listen to it.
I have a favour to ask: could you, at least for the time being, enable vods again? i'm in a very different timezone so i often wont be able to watch your stream, but i'd really like to watch that show youre planning. thanks~
Wait I thought you switched to Dota Nick? Also does having a girl on your stream make you have a lot more viewers...? Let me check that for myself... lol E: nope it doesn't... but that might just be because you don't actually see her and you went for girly music because of her?! *sigh*
Hey ... set your Twitch account to save "past broadcasts" so followers can check you out "on demand". -- Sick game knowledge on the Artosis coaching btw. GL!!

+1 to this. I'd love to check out your stream but I almost never have the ability to watch things live.
He still won't give me the coaching he said he would. He supposedly wanted time to relax after our last forum argument over it, now he is just pretending like nothing ever happened and he doesn't know who i am. Do not support this complete liar and fraud, and whatever you do never buy coaching from him.
"won't give me the coaching" "argument" of course he wouldn't want to give you coaching after having an argument. probably finds you annoying and frustrating. jog on
Lol, nice response, i guess if Verizon feels like they should cut your phone line after you pay the bill they should be able to do it. I just want everyone to know he is a liar and thief, if you give him money for coaching you will never see either.

Amazing genius, I suppose the argument was over the fact he didn't get his coaching, but doing 2+2 is really hard, sometimes, eh?
LOL, i know right. Why would someone be mad over not getting their coaching that they paid for.......
I will go to his threads as well, i can't believe people still watch him. He gets banned for cheating, then he steals people's coaching money. Hey TL can we please ban this troll, he is simply toxic and steals fans money.
4/21/2012 - initial purchase of coaching, first 2 lessons out of 6 were given during this time too apparently. 4/24/2012 - the guy creates Paypal dispute since lastshadow doesn't send promised coaching material, cancels dispute after lastshadow types it out on Skype.
5-8/x/2012 - After that, he tries multiple times to set up coaching sessions with lastshadow, and in the timeframe of contacting him like 5+ times over many months, lastshadow is unable to set up a single coaching time. Until finally lastshadow says he's available sunday morning:
8/24/2012 - they try to set up a time for coaching and lastshadow doesn't show up. (inexcusable) [8/24/2012 12:42:58 AM] Nick: early sunday morning [8/24/2012 12:42:59 AM] Nick: is fine [8/24/2012 10:16:44 AM] John C: sunday at 10am your time, works for me [8/24/2012 10:16:50 AM] John C: please confirm [8/26/2012 9:03:29 AM] John C: still meeting in an hour correct? [8/26/2012 9:18:42 AM] John C: ...... [8/26/2012 10:00:33 AM] John C: ??? [8/26/2012 10:07:29 AM] John C: This is what I mean.... Where are you
After that, the relationship between those two goes even worse than before and the chatlog ends with them arguing, with lastshadow blaming the guy, and the guy trying to get a refund.
Clearly lastshadow is in the fault: - Constant very late replies to any question (completely inexcusable) - Inability to let the purchaser know when he's available to do coaching - If you're unable to do coaching, a refund should be given
