These days, LS is one of the most beloved League of Legends personalities. He’s a caster, he’s a streamer, and he’s even had some controversial things to say about the game.
But before he was one of League’s biggest names, he was at the center of a cheating scandal, he was homeless, and he was living in a foreign country with almost nothing to his name.
But LS survived, and he found redemption in League of Legends.

The story of Yassuo soon?
k
Watching LCK for years, I like having him as a caster.
I don't really understand why so many people hate him while the dude provides a lot of entertainment, maybe less technical aspects or analysis like PapaSmithy did, but he makes the LCK way funnier and enjoyable to watch.
Cool dude !
that aracdestick is sexy
I doubted LS on his early casting career on LCK, until i heard/saw something on reddit about his coaching roles, i am wrong. Everytime he speaks (whether its draft or macro plays) its mostly correct!
He could literally have a biography movie
ls: homeless, hiv positive, broke, banned, insulted for years
league: saves his life
ryu: gets outplayed once
league: 3:)
Holy crap. I didn't recognize Last Shadow from the thumbnail, but when I saw the video was about him, I immediately thought of that SC2 tournament he didn't place well in. I'm glad it was touched on here. I remember being an admirer of his before the tournament, I liked him and his style, so to see him essentially bomb the tournament was really surprising. I wondered if something was going on with him but I never looked into it. I had absolutely no idea he went through all of this stuff. Poor kid. No one should have to deal with any of that. It's really nice to see that he's comfortable, open and happy right now though! It's touching. LS, my man, you probably won't ever see this, but I'm glad you're still around and doing better than ever. If you see people giving you grief, casually remind yourself that that is clear evidence that you've made it. Be you and stay awesome, man. Take care <3 from Canada.
Honestly after learning his story massive respect for sticking through it all etc, although just personally not a fan of him and his content i'll be honest
adversity is the prosperity of the great
U guys really really REALLY need to stop on the faker outplay clip even though is the legendary clip of ages
thank god it's magical and ender, they do such a good job! the other two male/female were unbearable to listen to
As someone who grew up in Lan centers, getting to know many gamer personalities, he sounds like several whiny little bitches I knew at that time, do not feel sorry for him and frankly he likely got farther than he should have. Also if the beta LoL player Larius or however it is spelled is out there just want to say fuck you = ) from SuckMyWang and shout out to Ihatehumans and Kamos miss you both alot! But I am still mad at you from dropping out on me on the Baron Nasher cup, shakes fist!
Wow much respect to LS.
TSM Chris coming in
Props on azu manga Diaoh in the back ground. what a good comic
Hi dom 🙂
Ls you have my respect
Much love. Stop the hate, start the love :-0
Holy shit, what a life story
“Talking a lot of shit for someone who’s room looks like Mordekaisers ult” LOL
I had no idea about his backstory. I love LS even more now, he’s such a sweet and funny person and his league knowledge is ridiculous.
much respect to him
Poor RYU again. Even it's not a faker story but still. HAHAHA
I cri…..Salute LS
LS best boi
Ryu being like Ah shit here we go again
D*mn, I didn't know LS has this background. Kudos to him for staying strong amidst a lot of adversities.👍
What's with all these "LS aka …"? I don't get it.
I didn't know he experienced so much hardships in such a young age. I totally changed my perspective about him. I'm happy for all his achievements 😊
Every. Single. Time. 9:30
After all the rude and negative comments that can't even be called criticism anymore, thescore made a video of ls so that those who made rude comments actually respect the guy or that is how I see it anyways.
I stilll find it funny of people critize him for his personality/choice of words. Imagine you tell everyone that eating McDonalds is bad and no one listens to you. And then the same people complain about getting obese and about bad health. At some point you would stop being nice too. LS has a vast game knowledge and focuses more on itembuilds and wavecontrol than anybody else in the scene (at least from the coaches and analyst scene). And he uses his knowledge to teach and to point out mistakes so that the general playerbase and the pro teams get better. He does it in streams and YT-videos, which both are basically free.
He teaches all this knowledge for free in the open, for everybody to see and there are still so many teams that dont know anything about what he is talking about and that still itemize and how to macro-play as a team. It is literally their job (or the job of their coaches) to know this stuff and its not like its hidden knowledge. And then LS has to watch them play and see them make the same mistakes over and over and over again. Of cause he wont be nice the 1000 times he seems someone make the same mistake. No one can be nice forever when facing ignorance and idiocy.
And to those that now say "But its all just his opinion, its not facts, just how he thinks something should be done": Sometimes yes, mostly, no. Stuff like morrelos vs Liandrys is math. Math is either right, or wrong. Same goes for when to build Morrelos and when voidstaff. Also math.
His coachings about wavecontrol and when to do what are more subjective, I give you that, BUT even than his arguments are logic based and are not result based analysis, which is what is mostly done right now. LS is teaching knowledge, which has been the same for years now, since the game didnt change in that parts and people still dont get it and dont use/apply it. So he has my unwavering respect, that he has not given up on trying to teach stuff to pros which in theory should be basic knowlegde for them
LS looks like Gerard Way lol 0:36
Respecc
Didn't even know that story about him. Insane, just respectable
Heck I've been following him and watching his streams on Twitch, I even look forward to every LCK games where he's the caster, and yet I didn't know all this happened in his life. I have nothing but respect to you LS, for me you'll always be the best LoL Caster.
actually changed the thumbnail LOL
Any truers here
First time I hear anything about his past, so I was unbiased when I started to like his coaching, comments. So it's from LastShadow…
This is actually really inspiring, i have way more respect for LS now
Stop showing your face in these videos, the topic is on the player no one wants to see your face
Flaming someone for cheating when he was 12 is so stupid
Who didn’t cheat in Minecraft when they were young
Literally everyone had force field (auto attacker/aim bot/fast attack) and no clip
