Ahhh... now I feel completely terrible for all the "wrist exploding" jokes I made.

I really hope he gets better. He's huge for the game and 99% of his games are great to watch. Taking a long break would be rough though. I don't know if he would be able to go back into BW depending on how long the break is. I remember on April Fools there was a joke about him switching to Protoss... he would lose a lot of fans I bet, but it would relieve some of the strain on his wrists.

He should take it easy and switch to SC2 IMO.It'll be a 100APM relief and he can still win everything.

LeeSsangRoks can't end this quickly. Take care of your wrist Flash, it would be a shame to lose a genius like that.

I was watching the GSI finals before, and Tasteless was like Stork just got beat on a Carrier map by a 15 year old genius... it left a huge impression on me the first time I watched it.

For the sake of BW, Flash needs to get well.

Sounds like Flash has severe wrist tendinitis. The Korean articles mention that its an issue with the muscle. He has had his wrist checked on previously and there has never been any nerve issues or mention of possible CTS. If anything, it would be Flash's left hand that would get CTS since most of his APM is done with his left hand. I don't know if Flash has previously gotten cortisone injections, but that will probably be the first thing they do seeing how severe his condition is.

Hope the best for Flash. Would hate to see another Terran Bonjwa fall to this


I think in one of his interviews he said that he had gotten cortisone shots? I'm not sure though, might have been just a comment in that thread.

Flash says right here that he does not have nerve damage, so how can it be carpal tunnel?

Carpal tunnel happens because of pressure on the median nerve. It's not nerve damage, and it can be helped through surgery by severing the transverse carpal ligament that crosses it at the wrist to relieve pressure. If it's not treated, though, it can lead to atrophy of the muscles in the hand and other nastiness.
Just today I realized I might have it myself... it hurts like hell. I really sympathize with him, being expected and wanting to perform well. I have a big recital coming up in a couple weeks (I play classical guitar) and I couldn't even practice today because of the pain :/
I hope Flash gets better soon!
If all you're offering is Dos Equis, I will stay thirsty thank you very much.

I personally think that retirement would have been one of the options that he would have looked to take. He's still a young kid and and given what he's already achieved, probably there is no better time to leave I guess.

Flash! WTF man? You need to pull it together. Jaedong is going to be bored if you aren't with him in the next finals.

Flash must recover so I can watch my favorite matchup JvF.

dam it, he should just not keep playing wtf... I can't believe he'd still play like that, that's ridiculous. If any star athlete had a tiny injury right before playoffs, even though they were trying to get that second place spot, it's still better to rest up and make sure it's all right.

How does this work with his mandatory army service? If he can't play SC he should do his army time, but with his wrists screwed up he can't do army service either I guess..

I know you most likely said this as a joke. But that wouldn't make any sense ^_^

But yes, he is stubborn and most likely won't retire.

actually, flash has said in interviews that he would immediately retire when he feels that he can no longer perform to his standards (or something to that effect).
