Frankly it isn't something you can solve with a quick operation and 2 months of rehab, the surgery is fairly invasive and it might not even work fully. I hope he decides to get treatment still, because simply doing nothing doesnt heal anything either... You seem to have more information about the details of this neck injury? I assumed it was either a herniated disc or cervical dislocation, both of which have to be really severe to require actual surgery and are firstly treated with a collar and physioteraphy. And of course completely avoiding the body/neck position you're usually playing starcraft in for as long as possible. Also, I would assume that the effects of whatever treatment will be quicker on someone MVP's age than your grandfather's. But I'm not trying to be a smartass here, as said, I don't know any details. I just think that if it's a couple of months reduction of practice and focus on recovery that he needs, now is the time. | ||

NOT taking a rest and continuing to beat up your body is definitely not the right answer, and by MVP's previous interviews resting seems like something he is extremely reluctant to do. While I understand that, if he keeps grinding away at it it's going to only get worse, and follow him later in life. Take a break, dude. You can get back in the game later. | ||

I really really hope he takes a break after this season(or maybe even next, since it will be shorter). With winter downtime + HotS he should have plent of time to recover. It would break my heart if he would have to retire someday because he refused to treat his injury. Someone should collect messages from all his fans that want him to get surgery done and hand it to him, since I don't think he will do it otherwise.  | ||

I just think that if it's a couple of months reduction of practice and focus on recovery that he needs, now is the time. some assumption in my own post as well obviously. I'd assume he tried the collar + physiotherapy approach before, because that is something he should be able to do. If he did not, then obviously that should be the next step. IF he tried that and truly had no success (which is what it sounds like) surgery would be the next step. And yes I agree he needs to seek treatment, as i said simply ignoring it won't achieve anything. But it might be a fairly long break (and yes, now would probably be the best time, he might be able to practice fully again in january - march when HotS competitions might kick off (or not depending on release date)). | ||

I really wish after this GSL season that he'd consider just taking some time off till next year. It's better to get healthy at the risk of not being able to make it back to the top tier again than to risk your long term health to prolong your lifespan at the top. There's nothing to say he can't make it back after a few months off either. | ||

That being said, he really should take a good look at his health and try to get his condition improved before HoTS if he really wants to continue to be a top contender. MVP Fighting!!! | ||
