He tried to qualify for CODE A once and lost in the semi-finals after being 40 supply ahead tvz, he left a depot wall open with 1 space, and mass-ling runby killed him. O-o. 'Our of place'? What about my love HuK ? He's slumping harder than Idra o.o.

I have watched him stream and sorry to burst your bubble but SaSe is on a completely different level, Ret just below that and tbh i think even Ostojiy would beat him. But i am looking forward to see how he does

Also saying he's better than Ret, SaSe and Ostojyi is kind of an bold call. I doubt even LS would claim that much himself (I think when he talked about who he though was good before he specifically mentioned Ret, might be wrong though). I do though give him a chance to take games of all the players in his group, but if he beats any that will be quite an upset to be perfectly honest.

no idea why naniwa couldn't make redbull lol, not many clashes as far as i can see. he's even going NASL showmatch.

I honestly think this is Last Shadow's chance to get into a good team. This guy is a foreigner that is lost in the shadows of others such as Thorzain, Idra, and Naniwa. I would actually love to see EG or maybe mousesports pick him up. They are in need of a good Terran to replace the irreplaceable thorzain. Although I don't think his play is as spoony as Thorzain's he's still a great macro Terran. Once LS gets more known he will be a top 10 foreigner if not top 10 player.
Also, nice pickup by Quantic acquiring Illusion after oGs broke up.

just realized this means LS won't be playing in the code A qualifies
EDIT: Also its ex Vile Illusion not ex oGsIllusion that's on Quantic

That's not how things work. He will go 0-3 (and 0-6 in maps) and no team will care about him, I would actually be annoyed if he would be shown on stream at all.
If he wants to find a team, he should start doing good in smaller tournaments and qualify for bigger tournaments, so the next time he gets invited to anything it's justified. You can't just put someone who never won anything in a 16 man invitational with 15 great proven players and expect him to do good.

Lastshadow playing? Nice, haven't seen many games of him playing. and Illusion looks like a total badass in his photo

Unless he has changed his mind recently, LS doesn't want to join a foreign team. QuanticIllusion = VileIllusion, not oGsIllusion/Icecream/kkoma

man am i the only one whos gonna watch this tournament just because of lastshadow? ive been watching all these other players for a long time and its just not all that entertaining to watch em play over and over in these tournaments. My only major complaint on the player roster is the absence of major (Juan), it would be awesome to watch major vs lastshadow on stage :D

I wonder what people's reaction would be if LS won Redbull without dropping a map?

not saying i think its realistic, but it would certainly make people change their mind regarding his skill level

I'd take this bet. Basically free money.
