I have no idea how he is even playing in HSC honestly...

It sounds pretty serious, and explains why he had wrist problems.

Hopefully He gets healed soon. (That is picture of MVP getting treatment)

I swear IM just has to outright say stop and force MVP to take a break, there's no way someone should force strain onto themselves like this, he already has an absurd amount of sponsors to cover costs and keep him afloat with money and once recovered he can breeze back into code S.

A simple break won't do anything and surgery for a condition like this is extremely risky (and expensive at ~$200,000) and the recovery time is 2-3 months with risk of further spine damage.



Sucks to be in USA. UK private operation for that condition is £15k-£20k.


To be fair, the situation I am referencing to was pretty extreme and the vertebrae had to be removed, replaced, and fused with pins and a metal piece. I don't know how advanced Mvps case is.

Explain please.
Are these true:
1) you want to get drunk?
2) You want to win in the games you play?

How does it work then if accomplishing 2 means you don't get 1.

Ye ye, I'm not supposed to think in these things too much, but it's really too dumb to not notice...

There are only two streams, so when he isn't on the mainstream, which stream could it be?
But it's over now anyway.

Yes, but a huge draw of progamers to their fans is, they are one of us. They have fun, play sc2, and hang out just like anyone else. When you see a Premier league footballer, you don't think "I could be there doing such things also".

Gracias. You sir are a gentlemen and a scholar.
It's cool to love to win, but it's better to hate to lose.

When I hear prices like that I'm fucking glad I live in Sweden. Sure we pay a shit ton of taxes but atleast an operation like that would, more or less, free.

srsly after reading that post about MVP's injury which is apparently not a usual carpal tunnel but sth even more serius with nerve roots and shit I just wanna hit all the ppl that shit on him for "cheesing" last gsl. Guy's in serious pain and just wants to earn money for his family so who cares if he's not the most fun player to watch who doesnt prefer long macro games. ( we know what he's capable of)

I wish i could have attended HSC to meet him, but hope he enjoys the rest of his stay in germany and finds the time to recover.

That's totally reasonable and how everybody thinks at first, but sooner or later somebody will annoy you so much that you just play and find out it's really fun
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

He doesn't want to earn money for his family. He wants to be the best.

The money is just a bonus.

But yeah people that hate on him are just idiots.

Yeah, but... it's kind of unprofessional.
In that situation, someone could've thrown up easily. With a sponsor shirt on them.
So the sponsors have to distance themselves from that....
it's kind of tricky, so I don't think things like that should be streamed. Or at least the players should take of the 'uniforms' so they're officially in their casual, free time.

There are plenty of other games where you get drunk while "winning"

Flip-cup
Kings Cup (not really a winner, just one loser)
Ass Hole
Beer Pong
Quarters
Hockey
The version of beer pong with the cans where the purpose is to drink MORE (i forget the name it's been so long)
etc... etc..

Do you guys really not get the point of the drinking game? It's a very simple case of "even if you lose, you still win", sort of. Hence its greatness.

in most drinking games you drink stuff which doesnt really taste good and makes you pretty fucking wasted.. mostly you start of by hoping to lose rounds (to get drunk) but after the first few shots you try to win (so you dont have to drink anymore). its just a lot more fun than "just drinking"
If you think it's too hard there are solutions other than asking for a nerf, getting better is the first that comes to mind.
