At just 15 years old, Life is already one of the most entertaining and accomplished players in the world. Originally he established himself as a strong online competitor in weekly events but struggled to get into Code A. Bad nerves led to lackluster games that concealed his true potential, while ZeNEX’s financial problems cut out any opportunities to attend foreign tournaments.
All of that changed after GSTL Season 2. Life carried his team with a 9-2 record, all-killing Team Liquid and nearly dismantling SlayerS-EG by himself. By winning the e-Sports Weekly Match Final he received a Code A seed, and shortly before ZeNEX’s disbandment Life qualified for TeamLiquid StarLeague 4. He managed to take second place in TSL4, unfortunately losing to Creator in the last series.
During GSL Season 4 Life did what most people deemed impossible: in his first season of Code S, Life defied all odds and walked the Royal Road. During this run Life became known as the ‘LG-IM Code S Killer’ and for good reason. He single-handedly defeated Nestea, Happy, Seed, and 4 time GSL champion Mvp on his quest to enter the history books.
When you watch Life play, you will see innovative play that no one else dares to replicate (and arguably, no one else can replicate). He has changed the Korean ZvZ metagame with systematic refinement of various builds and strategies. Life optimized 2 base mutalisk play into a standard build, reengineered the ling/infestor/ultralisk opening to act as a solid transition into roach/infestor midgame, and made nydus worms a core facet of his lategame. In summer 2012 he perfected his uniquely mobile, aggressive ZvT style which dominated all opposition. Meanwhile, Life brought back nydus worms as a legitimate threat in ZvP. Throughout his career he has always been one of the smartest and most creative individuals in the Korean scene, creating oddities such as roach burrow timings and 10 pool expands. All of these are backed up by his monstrous mechanics and meticulous execution.
Of course being so young, so successful, and so vocal about it means that people are going to talk a lot about you. Here are some notable quotes from casters and progamers about Life.

You know, Life, he, he just, when we, we saw him he gave us the biggest smile, and I love that guy's attitude, just such, such enthusiasm for the game, loves to take all the risks, he is the wild card of ZeNEX by far.
Apollo:
He has the most stupidest builds I've ever seen. . . he's actually insane!
I would never ever ever say that Life's made a mistake...Life is so good at this matchup (referring to his ZvZ)
Acer_Scarlett':
Him and suho are my favourite zergs to watch because they don't play boring same thing every game unlike everybody else ^^ Only two people I go out of my way to watch all their gsl vods
CreatorPrime:
He just has such a free-form style, you never know what he's going to do. So his play differed a lot from my expectations.
MarineKing on facing Life in the Round of 8:
I have to play a Bo5 against the one player that I really didn't want to face.
He's even better at using his zerglings than DRG is. Also, he seems to playing his games with a very recent source of ambition so I don't feel confident that I'll win. I've seen him do tons of plays where he just presses his opponent in to a corner, so I'm going to work on pushing out of that corner.
Artosis:
The most badass killer i have met at this age.
MVPSniper:
You were highly praised along with Life around the same time.
My teammates state that Life is on another level when they watch his games. I also felt a lot of different things, so in order to change, I am going to work really hard.

You must have copied Life's style.
I think a lot of Zerg players probably have tried to copy Life's style. But the fact that everyone has their own style they adhere to still exists and it's also really hard to gain advantages with your lings like Life does. A lot of Zergs like to play greedy ever since the queen buff but Life is different.

FXOSirius:
I think he's really physically solid. He's a young player, but he's a player who's bursting with confidence and doesn't get intimidated as he just plays his plays, and I think that's why he get such positive results.
TSLRagnarok:
Life's style is something that he perfected on ladder. It's not something that anyone can easily emulate, and I think Terrans are losing because they are unable to respond to it. I think Life is an amazing player.
Life's style must have become a hot topic within the Zerg-heavy TSL.
It has. It's a style that can only be performed with Life's level of control and understanding of strategy. It's just a style involving simultaneous production of Zerglings and Drones, but it's not something that you can merely do after watching it. Because such a young player as Life made it to the Code S finals on his first try, I felt some irritation, too.

StarTaleParting:
Life's skill is really great now, and he's really young, and very confident, and has very strong combat ability.
StarTaleCurious:
Have you felt inspired by how well your teammate, Life, is doing?
I have, and I also think that his performance at such a young age is astounding. I'm learning a lot by being at Life's side, so I'm wondering whether I can't grow stronger by absorbing his style.

MVPDongraegu:
Many pros have said that they have tried to emulate Life's style but failed.
I've also tried it once, but my win rate wasn't as high as when I played normally, so I don't know. Because knowing more styles is always better, I want to practice it, but it will take a great amount of time to become as good at using it as Life is.

IMYoda:
Many KeSPA players have advanced to Code S this season. is there anyone whom you want to avoid?
In my view, KeSPA and eSF players are all the same type of gamer. With the exception of Mvp and Life, I don't think there are too many differences between them. Life has always been amazing, and I think that Mvp is a player on another level. People say that they are on a different class, and I can feel it.

TSLSymbol:
You played a very one sided match against Hack in the winners' round. Were your strategies separately planned?
As of late, I had been going for no gas strategies against Terrans. But then I saw Life and how he played so I decided to mimic him. I realized afterwards that that's something that only Life can pull off. So I decided to just kind of resemble my early game to his and then throw in my own style for the transitions. When you watch Life play, you realize that it's really difficult because you have to spend your larvas wisely trying to get the right amount of both lings and drones but Life is excellent at it. I tried it out and I saw that I end up playing poorly.

StarTaleHack:
I've set my goal for the semi finals so I can go to Las Vegas. I also tend to get a lot of thoughts that I won't ever be able to beat Zerg thanks to my practices against Life. Overcoming that kind of feeling is my second goal for this season.
IMNestea:
The biggest talk right now is about the GSL Season 4 champion Life. What do you think of him as a fellow Zerg player?
I knew Life was a good player. He seems to be finally in the spotlight. I was so surprised when I watched the finals. Something like, 'So Zerg can play like this'. When I watched DRG and Leenock's play, I just thought of them as being 'good', but Life is just amazing. He is different from the current Zerg style and it was something fresh. He showcased a play nobody else can show off. I expect good things from him.
You probably tried out his style at least once.
Yes. I tried it many times, but every time I tried I lost. (Laugh) This is a style he created through extensive practice. Whenever I try a ling run-by, I lose to a full-front assault at this timing, to the point of total devastation. He knows which time is to attack, when no army is at the opponent's base. Players facing Life get attacked at the most unusual timing that have never been faced before, so they get shaken up and lose. The most impressive thing he does is how many lings he makes. That doesn't mean his drone count is low at all. This makes the game flow seamlessly.
So what is your answer to his style?
Hmm... maybe if I was a little younger? (Laugh) If I was at Life's age, I could have tried something like that. I put much thoughts on it, and my answer is that it's impossible to imitate. His concept is totally different from mine. Many other Zerg players probably tried it themselves and came up with the same answer. They might try to mimic here and there, but it's not something the conventional Zerg can easily follow.

STBrain:
Back when you were in ZeNEX, did you grow your skills by practicing with Life?
Even back then, the skill difference between Life and myself was significant. The difference was so large that I was too embarrassed to ask him to play practice games with me.

Miya:
Recently, Life, a fellow Zerg, has won both the GSL and MLG. Was this an inspiration for you?
Life may be a Zerg player like me, but the differences in the way he plays made me wonder whether I'm playing Zerg properly. I've tried emulating Life's play style but failed. No matter how much effort I put in, it wasn't easy to follow his aggressive style, so I plan to stick to my own.

There aren't a lot of pictures of Life out there, especially during his tenure on ZeNEX. With his recent explosion in skill and results, expect a lot more coverage in the near future.
