Life 6 pools and does weird strategies all the time, nothing new really.

Life blatantly threw away the series Naniwa style. it's not that he threw it. He didn't give a fuck because he's in the tournament no matter what. It's also really late in korea which people seem to forget and he probably just wanted to go to bed after playing so many bo3's and again he knew he qualified so he probably didn't care if he lost in the finals. I'm pretty sure the 6pools were part of Life's game plan. There IS incentive for him to carrying on playing, you can an extra $50 more. I'm sure that doesn't seem like a lot to you folks, but I'd definitely play for more money. And didn't you see Life's Code A games against VINES? He Nydus Worm rushed Game 1 and 6pooled Game 2. This is obviously something Life incorporates into his style. Considering the time is now after eight in the morning in Korea and Life probably hasn't slept + just qualified for a big tournament, I guess that 50 dollars don't mean that much when there are bigger prizes at stake.

Its abusive cause terran MUST play greedy vs zerg nowadays. How cant u understand that? i guess u never played or watch a recent TvZ. Violet bust is very strong (op?) but not abusive in that regard cause not dependant of metagame. It can works even if terran open safe 13 gaz.

If you've seen Life play in GSTL or GSL... it's not really a surprise. He's a bit of a weirdo who doesn't really have much regard for 'normal' game plans.
Hyper fast nydus + 6 pool to win the fastest ZvP series in GSL history, not three days ago.
Sick IdrA GG'ing out against Puzzle the instant he lost six burrowed infestors.
A bit of a character :O
When will we get a Keen interview?

Versus VINES in the GSL, he did a nydus all in and a 6pool. Plus Keen lost versus one of his 6pools. This is typical Life style.

I like how the Korean qualifier finals was really, really bad, but the EU-NA qualifier finals was insanely good. Fraer and Major both played an amazing best of five, while Keen and Life played the absolute worst best of five I have ever seen. Kinda wish players would not play like that even if there is nothing on the line. Naniwa got a lot of shit for doing something similar in the GSL. You would think players would avoid that after they saw Naniwa's punishment.

He also has been known to six pool before also, in situations that DO matter for him. Like he said match fixing is not something you just throw around.

I really think your understanding of the term "abusive" differs from that of most SC2 players.

The difference is he didnt try at all, with the baneling bust he just detonated on the bunkers and typed. And you dont 6pool twice in 1 series. You know you will lose with the second 6 pool.

Wrong
do you really need to be given a list of famous losses in history to multiple same-cheeses?
