What i'm really concerned about is if he can stay on top until the end of OSL/PL.

Yeah, heard about the news from WaxAngel and talked about it in the other thread also. Thanks to Wax though!

Great news indeed. Broodwar cannot lose icon/player like Flash right now. And i'm sure he will be top notch after the recovery. All i hope is that it won't happen again after the surgery and recovery.

Thanks for the whole translation OP!.

I'm glad this is taking place! simply put, the competitiveness of the BW scene would suffer with Flash's exit, the modern day terran throne can have no other :D thanks for this info!

I figured Flash would be taking time off with his wrist, but didn't pick the operation.

All the best for the operation Flash, rest up and come back better than ever.

BW needs you healthy!

I wonder how Flash's wrist is doing currently considering it got to the point that he could barely pick up a mouse. SPL GF and OSL is no joke!

And is it confirmed that he is dropping out of the MSL?

Anyways, definitely good news regardless!

This is awesome news! It seemed pretty unlikely that Flash would retire, but confirming it is great and in my totally ignorant opinion, getting the surgery to permanently deal with his wrist problem is the best solution long term. Fighting!

Because when you left, Brood War was all spotlights and titans. Now, with the death of the big leagues, Brood War has moved to the basements and carparks. Now, Brood War is unlicensed brawls, lost teeth, and bloody fights for fistfulls of money - SirJolt

The current MSL will continue in October, so assuming he gets the surgery at the end of this month, I'd say maybe. It depends on the recovery time but if it's only 30 days, he should be fine by then.

Maybe offtopic but... is this on both of his wrist or just the right one that requires attention?

I realized I asked about it

I thought they said he didn't have carpal tunnel... :[...

Surgery is hit or miss, for some people it can cure CTS forever, and for others it just gives relief before it relapses (could be 2 years, 5, 10, etc.). Given Flash's rigorous training schedule this will only prolong his progaming career shortly, but I feel it will ultimately force him into retirement. Best of luck to Flash.

phew 30-40 days of not practicing? we'll see if flash still has it when he's back

zero for #1 Kespa

Well 30-40 day recovery time doesn't explicitly mean no bw at all and also it's not like bw success is 100% dependent on 12 hour grinds.

Uhh.. well it kinda is. Its a do or die sport, if you dont live and breath bw you will not be at the top.
Aah thats the stuff..
