Hong Min-gi

Hong Min-gi , better known as MadLife , is a South Korean video game streamer, esports caster and former professional League of Legends player. During his career as a professional League of Legends player, MadLife was known internationally for his mastery of the champions Thresh and Blitzcrank, and was described as "one of the greatest support players in the world". He is also a Worlds finalist, having qualified in 2012 while on Azubu Frost. He was, however, unable to fly to the United States and play with the team during the first few weeks of competition due to visa issues. After two consecutive failed attempts to qualify for the NA LCS, MadLife left Gold Coin United in November 2017.

Upon returning to South Korea in early 2018, MadLife received multiple offers from domestic teams, as well as from teams in China, Europe and Turkey. He turned them all down and instead focused on streaming full-time. MadLife subsequently announced his retirement from professional play on June 19, 2018.
