While at the lair he slept 14+ hours each day. Medicated (went to the doctor) drank warm tea and consumed as many healthy things as he possibly could. He did that for the week he was here. He went to MLG thinking he could recover in time but that wasn't the case. Traveling to korea and competing in the hardest league with an illness as severe as this is just plain dumb. He has WCS in a short chunk of time after that and travel takes a toll on your health so rather than indanger that event he bit the bullet on this one. Thorzain is a fucking warrior and he cares deeply for each opportunity he has. I can promise you.. everything possible was done to make him get healthy but he couldn't get there. Please send em some love as he is struggling both in health and emotion at the moment. | ||

You sir should know that the mob doesn't want a logical and reasonable explanation, it has no place in these forums....they want fire and pitchforks  Hope he gets better soon | ||

I'm sorry for T-Funk's sake (god I love that nickname) that this is the worst thread on the site. | ||

I think we can all agree that it would've been ridiculous to go through with it under conditions that extreme. Hope he gets better soon! | ||

It wasn't an official announcement or anything like that, just Thorzain letting people know that he wouldn't be able to compete via his twitter. Of course if you wanted context for his tweet you could look at his recent tweets which include: 26 Aug Marcus Eklöf @EGThorZaIN I tried to play my losers bracket match after forfeiting wb due to being sick but i lost 0-2 vs root puck. At least i tried. 24 Aug Marcus Eklöf @EGThorZaIN I have some bad news to all my fans. Due to being sick in tonsillitis i wont compete at #mlg raleigh. | ||

All I knew is he wasn't feeling well at all this weekend and I actually like players prioritizing events. There is nothing wrong with resting and there is nothing wrong with missing a few events here and there to rest and practice so when they show up. They're ready to go. | ||

Very unprofessional imo Yea man, getting sick is really unprofessional. Who the hell do you guys think you are honestly? "so unprofessional" Seriously, do you guys know anything about being professional or even know what the word means? Are you aware of how many SC tournaments there are a year? Dropping out of one due to illness isnt unprofessional (not to mention this is only the UD matches), and dropping and not citing its because you are ill isnt being unprofessional either. Thorzain has NO obligations to you guys. And if the future of you watching starcraft depends on whether or not players will release every part of their life to you, you might as well just stop now. The future of Esports doesn't depend on stuff like this guys. | ||

Eh, when I see Tebow win a championship with a broken leg, Romo playing a game with a pierced lung, and Leftwich playing with a broken Tibia it just makes me kind of shrug when someone says they can't play a video game because they're sick. Also the saying you're going to focus on WCS practice instead is just insulting to the GSL. GSL is the most prestigious tournament in the world and was kind enough to give you the privilege of playing in their league. Did he even try to get it rescheduled? | ||
