To those who watched the Iron Squid Korean Invitationals and was wondering about Life's performance, here's a short explanation. Translated from http://s.163.com/12/1016/00/8DT6VKAG00314D0E.html Original article at http://esports.dailygame.co.kr/news/read.php?id=67916 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 press conference 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 press conference 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." | ||

The ones that died were doing stupid marathons of gaming for ridiculous hours on end. Far longer amounts of time than what even kespa players practice for. | ||
