[edit] Biography
LastShadow played Terran since his days in Brood War, but switched to Zerg in summer 2011. When possible he race picks TvZ instead of playing ZvZ. He had originally gone by the name LastShadow in beta, but switched to ajtls for the release of StarCraft II.[2]
On September 28th, 2010, he joined Decerto's new StarCraft II division.[3][4]
He finally settled on the name LastShadow upon joining his new team, Team GosuGamers in March.[5] On December 2nd he announced that he is leaving GosuGamers.[1] Shortly after switching to Zerg he switched back to Terran.

[edit] Wings of Liberty
LastShadow started off at the first major SC2 LAN event taking 4th place at MLG Raleigh. He has since played at the 2011 MLG Columbus 2011 and MLG Anaheim 2011.
In August 2011, LastShadow travelled to South Korea to practice with the MvP B team (Project Supreme) in the team house.[7][8] Before he was able to practice with MVP's B-team, he was required to play series against "one of Korea's top 5 Code S zergs for an opportunity to enter a pro house in Seoul, Korea." One of the games he played was documented by Skew.
He has, since October 18th, 2011 been releasing vlogs based on things such as his experiences in Korea, his infamous history in Brood War and general strategy.
In May of 2012 LastShadow participated in the Red Bull Battlegrounds, he was knocked out in the group stage losing matches to Ret, PartinG and Squirtle.
Though he briefly took a break from StarCraft II, he has since returned to playing it.[9]
[edit] Trivia
