He said in an interview that he has serious problems with his wrists, eyes and back when playing sc, so i guess he just had too much pain to go for 5 super long games. End of an era though, GG WP Jaedong, thx for all the years! | ||

Bisu has always crushed Jaedong. I hope they are both in top form next week! | ||

Now, i have to think about Jaedong being hand-fed when he's forty because of his fucked up wrists. I always feel people are exaggerating when they are talking about how bad Jaedong's health is. I mean, he is still sustaining an average of 300-350 APM over the span of 5 rounds. I find it hard to imagine how someone who is able to do this is a couple of years away from being in a wheelchair and being spoonfed. Sure, his current condition might not allow him to keep being competitive at the highest level but I do not think this means his wrist health is as severe as many people think it is. | ||

This was the riskiest and all in play possible and he was not under any pressure at that moment because it was clearly Bisu was intending to go for the macro game... I have never seen Jaedong looking more miserable that last night...I have grown up watching Jaedong in his prime on Youtube. My teenage years were really confusing, stressful and depressing and BW was one of the very few things that were helping me keep it together during those times. Watching Jaedong pull the stuff he was pulling back in the day gave me courage and made me feel that if you care enough about something and are really passionate about it, you can overcome adversity. Now, I hope Jaedong will find happiness in his life after his gaming era. Thank you, sir. | ||

If you've never had these sorts of problems from over usage, or wearing down on your body through repetitive actions then I don't think you really have room to weigh in on the discussion. Some people reach the point that JD did much quicker, like Flash. He required quite intensive surgery for it. Others, like Bisu, play even faster yet never seem to have similar issues. There are numerous other sports out there that really weigh down your wrists and the pain that accompanies it is actually a lot worse than you'd imagine. Basically, if you're not doing anything that replicates those motions you never notice it, and can even move past it as an issue, but if you move your body in that weigh you can really get a strong jolt of shock inducing pain. Particularly, your spine, shoulder and wrist all seem to sort of wear away around the same times with prolonged actions these guys have. It really is something that can range from minimal discomfort all the way to extensive surgery. Do you really think JD, who has been stating many times over (basically even left EG/secretly practiced BW) that he wants to impress his Korean fans in BW is just making excuses for his poor performance? | ||

I was not trying at all to underestimate Jaedong's physical discomfort while playing. I have ulnar nerve damage in my left hand. I know what playing in pain feels like. Everything above 250+ APM for more than 2-3 minutes results in my forearm contracting to the point that my fingers can barely move until the hand relaxes once again. The numbers Jaedong is touching are physically impossible for me to achieve. My comment was addressed to those guys who keep saying that Jaedong's hands are compromised forever. After all, you said it yourself...Flash's worn out even quicker and post-surgery he is still the strongest BW player. I don't know if Jaedong finds himself in the same position but all I was trying to call to attention is for people not to jump to apocalyptic conclusions this quickly. | ||
