The funny thing is that the first I hear about this is John messaging me on skype saying "Torch fractured his skull playing football." I was like WWHHHHATTT?? There was definitely something lost in translation there... lol.

The real true story of how Torch broke his nose:

He and another player were going for a header. They apparently were coming at each other from a 90 degree angle. Torch says they both probably didn't see each other since they were looking at the ball.

Torch:
"I went up to head the ball and closed my eyes (Doa wonders if it's normal to run full speed at something and close your eyes) and the next thing I knew I was on the ground and bleeding."

It's all bandaged up right now, but he doesn't look like the elephant man or anything. (yet) He needs surgery next week to fix it. '

So there you go. I'm handling the movie/book rights for the event so please contact me if you've prepared a script or draft.

Thank you for that. I was pretty sure there was no drama involved in this and apparently there wasn't.
This post is clearly not a hurr, as you can see from the graph, the durr never intersects with the derp.

QFT! the italians are like ballet dancer and the spanish are dirty little cheaters. Spain did not deserve the 2010 WC, sure De Jong's kick was fucked up, but did you SEE pujol grabbing onto Robben's waist and getting dragged along 30 feet? or just after Casillas diving into Robben's legs and grabbing his ankle?

or how the winning goal score punched one of the Dutch players? or how the winning goal assist was offside when he passed it back (iirc) that match was a travesty as well. Holland should have won simply because De Jong, Puyol, Iniesta and Casillas should have gotten a red card

Doesn't appear to have been that friendly to me. Did he punch himself in the face or bash it over the keyboard? You don't just break your nose without something coming down, hard I might add, on it.


playing sports... I doubt he had his keyboard with him

Sounds like a painful injury. Hopefully, he will recover quickly and soon get back into practicing for GSL and providing us with valuable tidbits from the Korean scene. I think we should all appreciate the amount of time and effort invested by Torch to be a foreign window into the Korean SC2 scene.

Also, I LOL at MKP being a Kong even outside of Starcraft.

Germany and Holland are the toughest S.O.Bs in football, England come close 2nd, Italy and Spain are pansies, France are somewhat in the middle.

This is why in hockey everybody always teaches a new player to keep his head up...and I thought we always yelled "heads up" or simply "heads" on the pitch when something like this could happen.

Broken nose bleeds a LOT but it does not hurt as much as it seems. I hope he didn't try to blow his nose (the blood out of his nose) when it was broken, his face could swell up it would not be a pretty "face".

All in all, wish you a fast recovery Torch and flame on.
