Support BackHo here!
BackHo (손찬웅), Protoss Player for Lecaf OZ is unable to play due to an injury in his back.
The injury was caused by an accident during the Christmas period. He was rushed to the hospital where doctors reported that he slipped two disks in his back.
Due to this injury, he is physically incapable of playing Starcraft until his back is healed.
His last notable matches was his Round of 36 match against FireFist where he infamously typed in 'zizi yO' while winning a game. He also eliminated one of the six dragons in Stork (송병구) from the GOMTV TG-Sambo Intel Classic Season 2 to advance to the Round of 8.
The Lecaf coach, Cho Jung Woong (조정웅) has stated that for his health and the wishes of his family, he should not be playing. As evidence of his injury, X-Rays of BackHo's spine were shown to the GOM audience (where it clearly showed two broken disks). As a consequence, BackHo has forfeited his quarter-final games against JangBi (허영무). JangBi will automatically advance to the semi-final to face either Free (윤용태) or Mind (박성균).
BackHo has just received surgery for these disks and is expected to return in one to four months depending on how well the back heals.

:'( I'm gonna have to start sitting up straight while playing starcraft
|
Sucks I hope he gets well soon.
|
I feel bad for him. He was doing so well in GOM.

|
|
No way i was looking forward to backho win! again the lucky Khan.
|

I hope that backho feels better. It's really too bad that we're not going to see him later tonight

i hope it won't affect him in the long term.

It's a respectful way of saying gg for Koreans.
I was pretty sad to hear this, I love Backho and back injuries really suck. Hope he recovers alright.
|
hey does anyone know his email or anything so we can show some foreign fan support?
|
hope you get alright dude
so we may have more ziziyos incoming 
|
he would have beaten jangbi..
|
i hope you feel better dude
|
Wow, this is really bad news. This kind of injury doesn't happen overnight. He must have been feeling very uncomfortable for some time now. Maybe he should've taken a break to heal before it went critical. Anyways, wish zizi yO good luck and get well soon.

It does if you work out with poor technique or get in a car accident or something. I don't know how he got injured, but somehow I doubt it was from his gaming-posture.

get better sooooon backho
maybe this is why he's short? everyone's saying he's short
|
Sadface. I'm not a very big fan of Backho, but I don't dislike him either. Sad to hear and hope he can get back into playing as soon as he's well. =(
White tiger fighting! (against the back injury >.< )
|
Poor Failho...Please get well soon and do not miss the Batoo OSL
Or at least give your slot to Bisu or someone

from what i saw on top gear, slipping a disc is as painful as giving birth and passing kidney stones (lol)
|
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?
|
=(
This sucks!!!
Sobad. I was looking forward to that BackHo/Jangbi match SO FREAKING BADLY. =((((
I'm soooo bummed about this... It could have been his chance, if he played against Jangbi as well as he did Stork. =(

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
edit:
wow, seems like there are a lot more backho fans that I thought.
BackHo fighting!
|
seeing the thread title, my 1st reaction was he hurt his fingers doing push ups.
no backho is a big loss for lecaf. also, isnt his gomtv semi-finals today? sucks, he beat some A to S class players to get there.

Hope he recovers soon. Although I might not like his style of play, he certainly does not deserve dropping out of a tourney due to an injury, and it is a serious one too.
|
Hope he recovers soon, the only thing that crushes him this time is himself
I actually thought he stood a decent chance to take out Jangbi
|

No, JangBi vs BackHo could be nice match for the evening
|
Wish him the best of luck. What's the timetable for him? I hope he makes it back at least for the OSL.
This isn't exactly a joking matter, but somehow it's just so ironic that something like this happened to Backho of all people.
|
One to four months?That's some tough shit.
He will have a lot of catching up to do if he can't practise for four months.
This could really fuck up his career.
|
|
|
Hope he gets better soon.
|
Wow this is so sad. T__T
I love watching backho play pvp/actually win games.
|
What does "zizi yo " means ? oo
+ Show Spoiler + In French zizi is the word, children use to say penis lol
|
@ 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.

Good luck to Backho btw. Protoss fighting ~ !

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.

not a big fan of backho.. but never really hated him. Hope he gets well soon.

*** 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. ***

Ooohh, I forgot to read the part that his recovery time is 1~4 months, thats sad, BackHo fans will miss him....
|
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).
|
Aww I really wanted to see Jangbi rape Backho since he beat Stork
|
that sucks, get better backho!
|
Man I so wanted to see what unit mix of doom he had up his sleeve against JangBi. :/ Get well soon BackHo. ^^
|
Woooow, that really sucks. I was hoping he'd win GOM.

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.
|
Bad news . I did'nt like especially BackHo but I really hope he will recover quickly and without worsening.
|
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!!!

i can't imagine how painful two slipped disks is, he'll probably be out for at least a year
|
Aw man what a set back... hope this doesn't ruin his run in Starcraft =/
|
Damn that's terrible. He wins the games that count and loses everything else, it's pretty impressive, really.

The liquibet should be nulled imo..

It backfired though 'cause Young wins more games.

Damn it's things like this that always get me. Everyday I come to tl regularly expecting progamers to play regularly. Then all of sudden, I'm reminded how human they are.
gl Backho, come back soon.

omg noo
I bet when the doctor found out what happened he was all like
"zi zi yO~"
get better soon!

awwww
GET BETTER BACKHOOOO
|
That's sad news indeed. Backho is my 2nd fav toss player . I wanted a Bisu - Backho final but won't happen =(
|
i suffer from slipped disks from time to time. i still sit in front of a computer fine.
it's getting up after playing that's the problem. but that's why i have a cane. ARE YOU TOO PROUD TO USE A CANE BACKHO?? ARE YOU UNWILLING TO SACRIFICE YOUR IMAGE TO ACTUALLY TRY AND WIN SOMETHING??
sheit

what is a slipped disks anyway?
|
Backho is quite the character.

Yeah people seem to forget that Backho for all his stupidity gets really far in Individual leagues. Get well soon buddy.
|
In his honor I'll type zizi yO everytime I start winning a game.
Get well soon BackHO!
|
Get well soon BackHo. You're the man!
|
I wonder how they saw "broken disks" on X-ray , that's just not possible
|
so he broke his spine from a one time accident and not because he was slouching or w/e?
|
Aww backho injured his back... zizi yO~ hopefully he gets back and starts zizi yO~ing some more

The term "broken disk" is probably just a loose translation or an incorrect description of the injury.
A spinal disc herniation (prolapsus disci intervertebralis), incorrectly called a "slipped disc", is a medical condition affecting the spine, in which a tear in the outer, fibrous ring (annulus fibrosus) of an intervertebral disc (discus intervertebralis) allows the soft, central portion (nucleus pulposus) to bulge out.
Here's a link if you'd like to read more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slipped_disc . The article says it can be caused by jobs that require constant sitting, so he was probably more prone to getting injured already and then he aggravated it by doing some heavy lifting or something.

That x-ray looked pretty bad, and the lecaf coach looked so pissed that one of his players is out of a individual league.
:/

Hope he gets better soon, the individuals will be boring without watching pure goons vs lings!
