well, not anymore
Until proven guilty he remains a brilliant kid that won simply by outsmarting opponents. There are such people, like Gary Kasparov for example, it doesnt necessarily have to be fraud to be real
I disagree. I think he outskilled his opponents rather than outsmarted them.
I would say Life's most impressive skill was simply knowing where his opponents attention was and directing his ling runbys just as the most opportune times. That to me would be outsmarting them. Of course you can claim that this is a type of skill, but then everything under the umbrella of winning a game is outskilling your opponent.
I believe more zergs know where to do runbys but don't have good enough multitasking to execute them while setting up defence and/or defending drops, and don't have good enough micro to make them really worthwile (it's sacrificing 10-20 supply after all).
Possibly it's a combination of all these things, in his top shape he was absolutely remarkable.
wtf is happening , KESPA restricted life for more than 45 days ! how much time it will take , i think there is something serious going on ! This is not normal at all !

KESPA has said or done anything? Haven't seen news about this.

KeSPA hasn't done or said anything, have they? KeSPA jail isn't real, he's in trouble with the normal police for some unkown reason.
EDIT:Reason is known, from liquipedia; "Two days later, it was indeed confirmed by the Changwon Regional Prosecutor's office that they had arrested Life on charges of receiving money for match-fixing."
It seems really strange that their has been no further news announced as of yet. I have been checking these pages regularly but nothing.... I suspect they are either a) struggling to find enough hard evidence, or b) hoping people forget as such a high profile player being implicated so shortly after the last debacle could be catastrophic.

My guess is the latter. Most likely, he's probably guilty but Kespa or the other organizations would rather shove it under the rug and pretend Life never existed. But that's just my conclusion at this point. :X

Because prosecutors would care about the SC community

Maybe he's already been prosecuted? But they just never released the outcome publically? Idk how the Korean law system works. But I do hope he is innocent.
i think the fact that he deleted his twitter account makes it unrealistic that hes innocent i just hope we get the news soon its been such a long time since his prosecution that im already done with this i just wanna have the confirmation wont stop watching starcraft though

I feel the same. When you knew Life was there, the game had a different taste. There are still awesome players to cheer for, but few have his way of making you jump off your seat.
I miss seeing him in the GSL booth and just being super happy to be there with all my friends and seeing Life play. And he was friggin magical. Absolutely magical; a feeling I got when I saw him perform live. Seeing Life live.... is pretty amazing. Thats what Starcraft is about. There are some players out there, that just make your heart beat faster.
