Update: oov will not be playing in this tournament anymore. Best of luck to him for his speedy recovery!
Player-Coach iloveoov will get a more thorough medical check on the 16th of July.
After complaining of extreme headaches, iloveoov was rushed to the hospital at around 4pm KST on the 14th of July, and it was concluded that the main reason was due to 'sleep-related conditions, which resulted in extreme headaches and blurred vision'.
Hence, iloveoov will undergo a more thorough medical check on the 16th of July, and main cause of this has been deduced to be due to 'sleep disturbance' (some disorder with sleeping). To find out whether he has been getting enough, he will undergo a variety of tests, including a electroencephalogram test, and doctors will be able to determine the actual cause if it isn't due to lack of sleep.
iloveoov is now resting at home, and the results of the test is expected to be released on the 22nd of July.
Because of this incident, his match, which was postponed to the 20th, may have to be cancelled as his condition and health status is uncertain at the moment.

Thanks for the heads-up!
I hope OOV feels better asap! Being sick is certainly not the best thing to happen =/

Did he practice too much starcraft? Or he didn't sleep because of other problems, like insomnia?
|
too much sc and sex= no time for sleep

It's reported that he overextended himself and practiced too much and long without getting proper sleep.

Hmm interesting, maybe a prelude of what is to come. Thanks for the translation.
|
wow, it would suck if oov cant play 
|
Oov is a practise monkey. This really shows he wanted to perform well. Cool with the effeot he put in, sorry for him he got sick.
|
Koreans need to learn that sleep = good
|
damn, it sounds like he really wanted to be ready for his match. hope he gets better soon
|
First, let's all hope oov gets better!
I was going to make a similar topic, but Jaedong related.
We all know JD has been on a very, VERY tight schedule, both praticing a lot and playing one television game after another. But something really struck me when I was watching JD vs Kal on Avalon MSL (from July 11).
Have you guys watched the game? I was under the impression JD was about to FAINT at any moment. His eyes were like, RED, he looked incredibly tired and in a bad mood. When he finally won, his reaction was... very scary!!!! He tickled his eyes with a very sad face, like he was thinking "ok stupid Kal is death, now I can finally get some sleep!"
Are progamers getting over the top with excessive playing? I have no doubt playing SC for - I don't know, 12 hours a day - Can screw you up very, very bad! I wonder if these guys do anything at all to take care of their health...

oov... hope it will be not serious TT ...
|
The doctor will prescribe one banana a day and he'll be good as new. I really hope me makes a speedy recovery.
|
I really hope he gets better and is able to finish up the SHL, but it seems highly unlikely.
Get better oov!
|
Aihzz, sAviOr must be feeling very bad if he does win against Oov (if the match continues), considering how badly Oov wants to win against him
|
Yikes - I thought Oov was one of the more mature gamers/coaches, and even he overextended himself.
I hope he gets better - and I hope the management of players becomes better in general.

cmon iloveoov , heal up and rape those noobs 
oh and a little tip for future . Sleeping is good for u ;]

starcraft is fucking badass, seriously. what other sport do people get hospitalized for SLEEP DEPRIVATION, something that is considered torture.
mad respect to oov for practicing hard.

Unfortunately I think when preparing to important matches, progamers train WAY more than 12 hours a day. They don't do anything else than eat/play sc/sleep, they can eat lunch and dinner in 1 hour, let's say another hour for other stuff like showering, then you have 22 hours left. As we know, Koreans think that sleep = loss of time so 4-6 hours should be enough for them. That's 16-18 hours of training. And I believe JD, Bisu and Flash train like that all the time, what in my opinion they can't endure in a long term :/

Awww, i didn't even know that was possible. Hope he gets better.
