He really needs to do military service for a bit, and hopefully he'll recover a bit because of it. | ||

Weird to see someone so collected and precise ingame to be so weak irl. Hopefully its all just talk by him as well. I was never a big fan of Flash in sc2 because he was absurdly overrared, but his BW play is still impressive even for me with my limited knowledge of the game. Would be sad if he stopped competing. However if there is general feeling that terran is op, afreeca should change the maps. Not reacting to percieved imbalance has proven quite detrimental in sc2. Worst case they can double back after a season. It's not childish at all, if you work hard for something you want to be rewarded no matter what you do. If the only reward is getting shitted on in the internet I can totally understand why he doesn't have the desire to compete anymore. Flash is still human even if it's hard to believe  | ||

Flash is still human even if it's hard to believe What do you mean with "the only reward is getting shit on" ? EVERYBODY "famous" has haters, that's nothing unique to flash. I have no idea in what proportion it applies to him specifically, but considering that he makes a lot of money on afreeca and has a lot of viewers regulalry i would assume that it's pretty minor in comparison  Ofc it's easy for us as random TL posters to say that he should just ignore it, but at the end of the day there are really worse positions than his (which doesn't mean that trolls/ hateful comments aren't a problem, but everybody has unique problems) | ||

The surgeries for carpal tunnel don't actually solve any problems, especially if they don't correct the behavior or posture that is causing the nerve to get inflamed. Pretty sure no amount of posture or ergonomics is going to fix 300+ apm for 20 minutes. BW pro's are having carpal tunnel issues because they are performing beyond what the human body is designed to do. | ||

It's pretty much the only option you have if the pain/numbness becomes unmanageable. The surgery will reduce the pain, but if you don't correct the cause, it's just a small respite before the next time. | ||

Ah Bakuryu <3 Also, game 4 reminded me of a forign league game, maybe by a LRM) player, who went for 2 or 3 hatch hydra bust vs terran on Tau Cross. Long time ago, but maybe you remember ? Great serie imo. I'm a Flash fan, so I won't insist on his wins, but even as a zerg player, I had something to admire in game 1, a clear case of smart counterstrat very well executed. Lee Young Ho fell right into it. | ||

You're completely right, the human body is not really meant to do what these guys do, but if they had more ergonomic setups, it might have reduced the amount of damage they did to themselves. Edit: As an example, a lot of CTS (in the workplace at least) is because people rest their wrists on the desk while they work, and the range of motion is all using their wrist -- the arms don't really move that much, and when they do it's still resting so it's putting pressure on the nerve, and will eventually cause inflammation that leads to CTS. If they could use a setup where the keyboard/mouse is lower so that they are not resting on the wrists and are "hovering" over them instead, it will not cause the nerve to inflame nearly as much. | ||

Some teams forced Zergs to play 60 games a day bc ZvZs are shorter. Larva said he played 60 games a day (by choice) few times and he said that you don't even have time to shit. Playing that much is most likely counter productive anyway. You need your rest. The StarCraft community has this weird thing that more practise is always better but playing through the night or playing 60 games a day probably isn't better. Diminishing returns exist. | ||
