rush

He usually ‘rushes’ his decisions instead of thinking things through clearly, and so he decided to use the handle, ‘Rush.’

Rush has always enjoyed playing games, but he initially wanted to complete his university degree before pursuing a professional gaming career. He placed first in Solo-queue on the Korean LoL server in August 2014, during his first year at university. It was then that he really felt that he had the potential to succeed as a professional LoL streamer. This was encouraged by the offers that he received from many international professional LoL teams as a result of his placement.

In September of that year, he participated in a survival-style tryout for SK Telecom T1 (SKT) and managed to win the role of Jungler. However, within a week SKT decided that they would only keep one of the other players, and so Rush continued playing solo-queue.

He was conscripted into the army in November 2020.

Team Impulse soon offered him a contract and he signed on with them at the end of 2014. He was participating in professional tournaments by Spring 2015, and has been competing ever since. He dropped out of university later that year. He started streaming in 2016, once he felt that his English was good enough.

He stopped streaming in November 2020 when he was conscripted into the army.

He has straight black hair that he currently wears medium-length. He is clean-shaven, with a round face and has thin-rimmed, round black glasses. His eyes are dark brown.

Due to his career as a professional tournament player, his stream schedule is sporadic. He tens to stream on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 07:00 UTC for between 4-6 hours, but the best way to keep track is on Twitter.
