StarCraft 2 broadcasters Dan "Artosis" Stemkoski and Andrew "Moonglade" Pender agree: Lee "Life" Seung Hyun is the best player in world.

On Saturday the Zergling King won his second GSL championship with a close win over Won "PartinG" Lee Sak in a Bo7 that went the distance. That title capped off a remarkable run in the last five months that began when Lee captured the 2014 BlizzCon Global Championship.

Since then, he came second at DreamHack's 2014 Tour Finals, 3rd/4th in the SpoTV StarLeague, and scored another trophy win at IEM Taipei. An early exit at the IEM World Championships didn't faze Lee, as he bounced back just a few days later to win the the most prestigious StarCraft 2 tournament in the world.

"I definitely think at this point Life has proven he's the best, most well rounded player in the world right now," said Pender, a former Zerg player. "No one comes close to his achievements in recent times and no one has such a unique style for their race such as Life, he really is one of a kind in terms of gameplay which makes it that much more impressive."

Stemkoski, who casted Lee's run this GSL season, finds it hard not to agree.

"Life is pretty much the best player in the world right now," he said. "I think you'd have to consider Maru, herO, and maybe INnoVation in the running, but Life definitely has the most convincing case."

The dominant run by Lee in the past half-year has pushed him into second place all time on premier tournament victories with 10, and second on the StarCraft 2 earnings list with over $400,000 in the bank. The only man ahead of him is Jang "MC" Min Chul, who won his first of two GSL rings in 2010. Lee didn't start playing professionally until 2012.

"It really has been a long time since we've seen a player who has their own way of understanding the game and shown it in their play-style, that differs so much from other players whom play the same race," Pender said. "Life's style has always been a very aggressive one, finding holes in players' styles that no one else could find, or even think of exist, especially with the use of speedlings more often than not."

"Life's play is something that can't be replicated," Stemkoski said. "He's the most decisive Zerg we've had in StarCraft 2 by miles. He seemingly plays by feel rather than information. Zerg is a very mechanical race: you spread your creep, you hit your Larva Injects, you make your units. These three skills are the key to Zerg, but they aren't the basis of Life's play. It's been thrown around a lot in interviews with other top players that Life 'lacks fundamentals.' This is part jokingly, but part true as well. Life is not the best Zerg at Macro. He is the best Zerg at finding openings and pressing advantages."

Lee has shown himself to be a step above his Zerg counterparts, continuing to perfect his unique and aggressive style. Consistent, yet at the same time completely unpredictable, he has risen as the only Zerg champion in the current reign of Protoss and Terran players.

"When it comes to Zerg, no one else really thinks like he does", said Pender. "Being able to take down players like CJ herO with nothing but early speedling aggression, dealing with Terrans in recent times with early Ling-Bane-timings if he finds openings by dealing with the Hellions on the map. Every other Zerg out there focuses more on macro oriented styles, it really feels like Life has a deeper understanding of the race itself, or that he's simply more willing to put everything on the line to take the win, despite how risky it is."

Lee has played himself into a position to dictate the pace of games, and make big calls where other players wouldn't. With everything to play for in Game 7 of the GSL Finals, Lee decided to go with a blind 9-pool on a giant 4-player map and made it work. That's just the type of player he is, and continues to be.

"Life is a completely fearsome player to go up against", said Stemkoski. "People are more prone to make mistakes against him because of this. On top of that, Life mixes his play up very well. He might open up [with] two hatcheries before pool (greediest build), pool before hatch (safest build) or even an 8-pool or speed and pool before hatch (most aggressive builds). This makes for a lot of mind games early on, which he normally outclasses his opponents in.

"Life is most known for his aggressive plays...but you never know which one is coming, or if one is coming at all. If you guess wrong, he is the most likely player to kill you. You can't prepare for everything he can do, or that would make you behind as well.

"It's scary to cheese Life because he might have the units ready to stop it because of his own early attack. It's scary to go to late game against Life because he is more likely than any other Zerg to exploit a hole in your defense and kill you because of it.

"I guess the short answer is, Life is better than his opponents."
