The issue isn't how well he knows his body. The fact that his peers (both foreign and koreans) are training 12 hours a day and continually improving is why this has such a huge effect. He was already obviously behind skill wise in certain departments. I'm sure that he can return in a few weeks and begin playing again, but his arm wont be in the condition to remotely match the amount of hours that go into the game each day by a pro korean. So when trying to catch up skill wise, and also being disadvantaged in terms of practice come into effect because of the injury, it is actually a pretty serious blow to his gaming career (obviously not to his prior achievements). His self determination and perseverance must be stronger then ever to get through the next few months.
Life sucks. He might never ever be able to close the skill gap to BitByeBit.Prime etc again :/

Reading the title I thought he broke his hand playing SC2. That would have been bad ass (in nerd eyes), however unfortunate.

It doesn't matter if you're drunk or not, landing on your elbow in a freak accident will cause most people's arms to break. Are you saying that because you're a Professional Athlete you should be confined to a small room with cushions on the walls so as to prevent you from ever getting hurt? You're absolutely right, and if he had fallen off of a skateboard, we wouldn't be talking. Demuslim got into a bar brawl, which may be against team rules – as it would be in most professional sports. That's my point.
But anyone can get into a fight because some cunt feels like being a cunt. The fact that it happened because he was at, or close to, a bar does in no way reflect on him as a professional. Some people just want to be cunts and pick on people and no matter what you do they pick a fight.

And where is that info he got into a bar fight?
That's my point.

Yes a true professional would never go out drinking. I mean who ever heard of a businessman going out drinking??? I am appalled. imagine you pay someone to do something. imagine that person got drunk and irresponsibly broke a limb, making them unable to do that something you pay them to do. a boss in the real world would force him to take unpaid leave, holidays or just get rid of that person for good and replace him with someone more responsible.
If this is what your boss would do to you, then you obviously don't have a lot of value to him or your company. Bad luck dude.
And I have to ask you what you're basing the "drunk" and "irresponsibly" on. *sigh*

Raging in game is different than raging IRL, you can get your arm broken. Video game nerds shouldn't pick fights o.o
unless you are incontrol, of the situation
I do wish him the best though, for a speedy recovery!

This thread has blown things out of proportion - I can read absolutely not one line of text stating that Demuslim was drunk when this happend.
Some drunk guys ran into them, something happend, they went drinking after that. I believe Rotterdam had a post stating that they had had a few drinks, but maybe I misread it. + Show Spoiler +And since there is no info that would indicate he is anything else but the guy who got unlucky, there is nothing to worry about. I am sure Scoots will react if Demuslim starts accumulating a criminal record in Germany  Well, I don't think there is any spotlight on him or any other western Pro-Gamer when he goes out with friends in the evening. Let them enjoy it while it lasts. Let's wait some years and maybe he can pull a Tiger Woods some day! I think you're absolutely right Jaydee.  This thread is crazy and I think I'll stop adding to it. I just wanted to get it out there, companies are starting to sign larger and larger endorsements for esports and this is an unfortunate incident, but one players are going to have to start thinking about.
Yeah you are absolutely correct, I answered to some post before actually getting to Rotterdams statement.
Cheers, JD

Ahh this post looked so promising. If he had broken his arm in a bar fight cus he was drunk he would be one of my knew fav players.
