who's up for it?
also, fan interview? :D maybe catplanet, asha, zealously? TRIPLE? :D unless one of you guys wants to write a "why life will win" instead, but that might be too long (and you'll need good english skills to come off well)
You can ask Scarlett. I'm sure she has seen the VODs.

To the fans: Does Life still go to school? I'm curious as to how he balances sc2 with his education, considering the fact that he's so young...
Yes, Life goes to school. For a while (this summer) he didn't, and he was able to practise a lot - but now he's back to school, which means he's not practising as much as he did a few weeks ago. At least, that's what he said in his Ro4 interview.

All the doubt for Life is amusing to watch. He was "going to get crushed" in both group stages and against Taeja, and yet here he is. Looking forward to the finals! :D

As they should!
Given that he's probably the best zerg at the moment and his style is completely different from the established he's certainly one of the top zergs being studied atm.
I'll have my write-up for the GSL finals (Technically only Life hype) ready within the next 24 hours. If someone wants to give me some criticism, PM me and I'll send you the "draft"
Posted my preview. Yes, it is biased because I'm a huge Life fanboy. Yes, I may have stepped on the toes of some Mvp fans. Yes, my insight into Starcrsft II strategy isn't quite top-notch. But I wrote what I feel for this finals, and I firmly believe in everything I wrote.
Tough Life in third grade of middle school: Forced Shutdown + Unable to attend the press conference for GSL Finals
Life was taking part in the finals of the online Korean qualifiers for the Iron Squid 2 tournament, where he lost 1-4 to Brown.
The problem occurred in the second set. At that time, he was just going about playing, when Life received a reminder regarding a forced shutdown. It was then that he remembered, and mentioned in the chat "Oh yea, I am supposed to be forced shutdown." After that, he just grabbed all his army and forced an all-in on his opponent, which ended up failing.
Even though Life eventually lost to Brown, it doesn't affect his qualification.
There were more than 10000 foreign viewers watching via TwitchTV, and people were expressing their concerns regarding the actions of Life, and were quite shocked when they knew about the law in Korea which forces youths to go offline after a certain time.
Life is only 15 this year, and he's still a 3rd-grader in middle school. This Korean law which forces youths to go offline applies to youths below the age of 16, and they are not allowed to play online from 12am to 6am.
What gives Life even more of a headache is that he is still a student having his compulsory education in middle school and is unable to miss lessons. As a result, he will be unable to attend the GSL finals media day held on the morning of the 17th, even though this is a standard for every season of GSL.
Startale's coach has this to say. "Because of the law for the compulsory shutdown, the tournament had to be played earlier, and to have enough attendance at school, Life is unable to attend the media day in the morning. As a student in middle school, Life faces a lot of restrictions. We can overlook the compulsory education, but now there's this law for the forced shutdown. This makes it really difficult for the player to play to the best of his ability, and I think it's quite a pity."
