Elazer out 0-2, didn't expect that one.

Also I'm gonna be kind of dick here, but ByuN pausing game midway through is a bit unfair in my book, he's far from the only player with bad wrist and he seems to pull it out way to often.

That's just so rough if you have to take breaks in the middle of games because of wrist pain.

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.

I'm not sure what the ESL rules say about that as a reason for pausing actually. iirc in GSL he got a warning for pausing since only technical issues are considered valid reasons.

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

the pause issue is obviously something that should be dealt with via a consistent set of rules, not much to say besides that

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.

Rough way to go for DRG.

It's funny that Byun has chronic wrist issues and plays about the most wrist pain inducing style of TvZ possible

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

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.
