look at TLPD for illusion and osotjiy and then look at it for lastshadow. then proceed to eat crow.

Ostojiy made it into championship brackets at the last MLG among other good wins in team leagues. and illusion is a beast. he took out Zenio, Ryung and Oz at IPL4.

A quote from my favorite movie:


“Your fellows have attended classes. They’ve written papers and published.”

“Oh, I’m still searching sir.”

“Your original idea.”

“Governing dynamics, sir.”

“It’s very clever, John, but I’m afraid it’s just not nearly good enough.”

The professor enters the faculty dining hall, with Nash in pursuit. Nash beseeches him about projects he has been working on, still speaking very rapidly, interspersing a request for a meeting with Einstein. Once again the professor interrupts him to point out what is going on in the dining hall.

A white haired man is seated at a table in the forefront while colleagues come to his table and one by one lay their fountain pens in front of him. The professor tells us,

“It’s the pens, reserved for a member of the department that makes the achievement of a lifetime. Now what do you see John?”

“Greatness.”

“Well, try seeing accomplishment.”

“Is there a difference?”

“John, you haven’t focused. I’m sorry, but up to this point your record doesn’t warrant any placement at all. Good day.”

i copied my post from reddit with some edit so you understand FUCKING READ IT !:

On some of those 3 shows by djwheat and jp (sotg, lo3, itg) they talked about how hard it is to get known in starcraft and that Scarlett had to beat top top Koreans to get at least a little known. So they basically talked about how hard it is to get far in the mlg open brackets and how its hard to get known as a lesser player .

after that they said: we have to support them more so , the top shoudln't be that stagnant and need some new wind.

But as soon as our lovely Day has the balls to get lastshadow, everybody cries and bitches. So it seems that people do not really want to give newcomers a chance.

Important is: that even another 4th American (it had to be a foreigner afaik ) would have been knocked out of the group ,same as ls is probably going to be knocked out . Take any EG player f.e, incontrol, idra or machine. Nobody would say a word about them getting invited, but they would also die in that group.
So instead of inviting a known American who will fail as he did in other events, why don't we give a lesser known player a chance.

Example: I would rather see jecho than idra, because as explained both wouldn't probably get out of their group, but rather give new players a shot.

Written on phone sry for mistakes .


newcomers have to prove themselves before they start getting invited, LS hasn't proved himself enough to be in an elite tourney with multiple GSL title winners and finalists, LS's appearance here will only be worse in the long run for newcomers as no one will want to drop the LS bomb again - Scarlett would have been a better invite, she has proven herself in a real tourney against koreans and good players and she would suit the newcomer tag, LS isn't really a newcomer, he's just a guy who has won some ladder games and attended 1 MLG, it's bad because he is taking the flak for this when it should be whoever gave his invite the green light

Seriously.

I am a LS fan, have been since I watched his first 24 marathon.

Yes I know he cheated
Yes I know he BM's
Yes I know there are better players


But it doesn't matter. The kid moved to Korea because he wants to be the best. He is living in another country trying to make this shit work. I can respect the hustle and the grind, and he is pretty good to boot. If he gets on a Korean team, I'm fairly confident he will get into code A. I did some pretty stupid shit when I was young. Unless he cheats in SC2 I don't see what the problem supporting him and wanting him to do well.



So you are saying he is BM, has cheated, and there are better players (many better players), and he still deserves an invite because he plays in Korea?

Well shit everyone should just fly on over there if thats the only thing that matters in invites.

I know.. only watchign cups from EU and ladder ranks here - and i'm noticing them.

I'm very interrested to see if the coverage of the WCS at Anaheim (and Toronto) will produce the spotlights on the US/CA scenes that are deserved.

Is it actually a fact ? Are they really friends ? Didn't ls publically released his replays and not just gave them to Day9 ?

Yes Day9 said in his daily he asked LS for replays and LS started playing games and sent the approriate ones to day9 that same evening. I'm not bashing anyone and don't really care but that still is a fact.

Except that he has several replays of him beating Korean GMS and is really good if you watch his stream(Which you obviously never watched)

If you think the people complaining that LS got his spot just for being Day9's friend are bad, can you imagine what the "only got spot because she's a girl" whining would be like?

Anybody in a tournament of this level should be able to beat Korean GM's on ladder consistently: that's not a criterion that merits an invite, it's something that any pro player can do. There's a ton of players, well-known and "unknown," that can do the same thing; why aren't they getting invites?

And for the record, I watch LS's stream and have reviewed/casted a lot of his replays. He's good, but he's not great. He's not even a top 15 foreigner Terran.

Lastshadow is hardly a newcomer? I think it's the combination of the fact he has done nothing to prove he can compete in tournament settings with his current or recent behavior and his past as a cheater which upsets people.

I think most people are for promoting newcomers but Lastshadow is a very questionable pick as a newcomer -_-
