I guessed the rules should be settled for all players.

The last time Trap did that to Zoun, if I could remembered, made me so upset because that questionable pause during the high engagements did change game flow in favors of Trap, he won pretty handily after that.
Rogue & Maru fan boy. ^^

it's not against the rules, other players can do it too if they want

you can be unsportsmanlike without breaking the rules

I think given his history of needing to pause and having some pretty nasty looking wrist pain, you can give him some sympathy. Especially if it's either this or he simply doesn't play at all.

Hmm it sounds rough but I think if you can't handle playing sc2 without regularly pausing you shouldn't compete.
If it happens 1 time I can understand but it becomes a pattern with him

Only happens when there's a camera showing Byun. I reckon he's usually incorporeal but manifests a body for the cameras.


He needs to work on his manifestation game then

That's the curse of Byun. I really hope he wins something big before the inevitable retirement.

He does seems to pause only in important matches and never in random online cup, I mean I'm sure it does hurt him, but that's not really his opponents fault.

maybe in small online cups he just plays through the pain and in important matches he pauses to be able to play at 100% again
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

Come on, it's Byun. It's not retirement, it's just another 2 year break. Provided the game still has money for him to earn then.

I distinctly remember TaeJa pausing in game 7 of an IEM final vs Solar in the middle of a roach all-in, it got me so mad lol.

I'm a massive ByuN fan but I sometimes think he shouldn't play at all until he resolves this. He's presumably seeking medical attention for this issue but a little break over the holidays would have been better.

I remember a story about Maru's shoulder problems and we barely saw him over the holidays - last competitive game was TSL6.

Yeah the difference between how Maru and ByuN have handled their injuries is pretty big. Maru basically hasn't played anything since Code S, and even then he switched up his playstyle to just turtle and play slow every game.

ByuN seems to still want to compete in all the online events and keep his usual micro dependant playstyle. Although it's worth noting that outside of injuries you'd still expect ByuN to play everything and Maru to only care about the big events.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Maybe Mvp would have won 3 more GSLs if he was allowed to pause games for his wrist, neck and back issues.

WTF is wrong with the production on the main stream lmao. looks like a 14 year old with 2 days of experience with photoshop put it together

hyped for the games tho!!! gogo $0$

It oddly doesn't look toooooo bad when it's a close up on like Kaelaris but when it's the wide shot of the whole desk oh boy haha

That being said it has a certain charm so idk if I mind it not looking the cleanest


I quite like it to be honest, obviously it's kind of silly, but everyone knows the situation. I prefer that than just having the standard webcam for the world final, it marks the occasion.


Marks the occasion like dog turds mark the coming of spring.

To be fair not playing in any event for months on end is basically what Maru does normally injury or no injury.

Youtube VODs shouldn't be up yet, but the Twitch VODs should be there as usual on the various channels.

This is the 3rd game across 2 series now where his opponents just did Byun the favor of trading tons of army for workers
