@ Bobilion: there is no Z sound in Korean, and I think the z key on a keyboard corresponds to the 'j' sounding character. So saying zizi is like saying jiji = geegee, the phonetic of GG. Yo is a respectful ending.

Poor Backho, I was really looking forward to watching him play Jangbi, sucks. I hope he gets better soon though.

I bet inter.young pushed him down some stairs at the practice house or something, so he gets the protoss spot.

I'd been wondering why he didn't come to proleague for the last 2 weeks - he usually comes even if he hasn't got a game. I'm very glad our last photo shoot was done sitting down and I really hope he has a swift and settled recovery - he's one of the nicest, most cheerful young gamers I've met since I began doing photos for esports and today was a real shame both for him and the event itself.

noooooo!

JangBi should do what GGPlay did against Silent_Control, as for a rescheduled match and wait until backho gets well, and he will lose...:p

That's not viable, as his condition doesn't seem to be one that can be dealt with within a few days. GomTV has had its schedule planned out for a long time. Semis should be Sunday next week and the week after.
It was very different with the GGPlay vs Silent_Control incident. If I remeber it correctly it was during OSL group stages? It's much easier to just play that 1 game a little later during several weeks of OSL group stages than when you need to determine pretty much asap who advances to a semi-final.

*** nevergg and i are gonna be heading out to the Lecaf house (or at least meeting with the coach) to see if BackHo's doing alright sometime next week -

if you guys want to write something for him, send it to lilsusie@gmail.com and I'm going to create a card, print out all your messages and paste them onto the card like a semi cheerful.

I'll be printing them out exactly as you type them, so make sure to sign it and let him know that his fans from all across the world hopes that he gets better soon. I'll print them out on Sat morning KST so if you want to send an email, send before then. ***

That's sad news. I was actually really looking forward to his games against JangBi. I'm not a huge fan of him but I like to watch his games against S-class players. They are always entertaining (even if they are rapes).

Woooow, that really sucks. I was hoping he'd win GOM.

So, does this mean that Firefist gets the OSL berth?

Maybe some sort of play-off for the final round of 16 spot, like how they did for Oversky's spot in the MSL?

I totally forgot about this, will he drop out of OSL?

We'll probably translate as much as we can. It's pretty well known that I'm a big fan of his so I'm going to put my effort into this little project. I've already gathered photos for it tonight.

BackHo seems pretty cool and i was expecting him to take out jangbi

. thats pretty unfortunate though with such a bad injury. personally who cares if he takes an extra month off from what's expected to be sure he recovers well and is able to do things like normal (or as normal as possible)

Thanks a lot Susie and neveregg. I am definitely sending a message.

And could it be that BacHo injured his back falling down the stairs at the Lecaf house? After the fOrGG incident, this sounds like a Khan conspiracy to win a PL title. Watch your steps, Jaedong!!!
