With a heart as kind as his, Mvp more than deserves all the great success he's had in SC2.

Very interesting read. Mvp seems to be such a incredible guy and sadly he doesnt know that. If he rated himself higher (which he should!) then maybe he would take a break from gaming and be more confident about coming back. But i understand that if you have worked so hard to get to where you are, then you dont want to risk losing it all. There is something special about watching Mvp play, i cant put my finger on it but it feels like a privilege. Ty for the translation btw

I feel like if he ever drops out of code a, that would be a time where he should 100% get surgery, there would be less immediate pressure on him. Still fucking amazing how he can consistently get Code S round of 16 with such pain.

I work a computer job and play a lot of Starcraft, and I suffer from a lot of neck/shoulder/wrist pain nowadays as well. It gets to the point where I can't/don't want to play because I know it'll hurt. I can only imagine how hard it must be for a progamer with similar problems.

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 have a huge problem relaxing my neck while sleeping. NEver really had any problem with gaming. Could easily game 15 hours/row, no problems. But on most pillows my neck is just not relaxed. Really annoying.

i wonder if he's refusing to take a break because he doesn't want to dissapoint the fans. if that'sthe case we should really let him know, that he should focus on his treatment.

thnx for this.. really unfortunate that progamers have to endure these types of injuries.. I could understand his drive.. but, taking some time off might be good.. HotS is coming out.. perfect timing.. remain the WoL King.

Mvp: I still remember it today. The house I was in last time was really small, and it was really inconvenient. But after winning GSL twice, I gathered enough money to buy a house. When I passed the money to my dad, I think my father said, "We can finally buy a house." My dad and I will never forget that moment. Even though I never said anything, I was happier than at any other time in my life.


Omg I literally cried. That's so emotional, to be able to win money so you can buy your family a house. I cannot even imagine the emotions of his family when that happened.
Long live the Boss Toss!

This interview is really depressing as you can see a ticking timebomb that is MVP's career. I hope the infusion of Kespa players isn't what's keeping him from having surgery (he seems really fearful that 3 months rest = impossible to catch up).

Tbf, progaming as a career is a ticking timebomb by default.

Fuck, I wish he'd rest. Compete for 1-2 more years like this without treatment and cripple himself or get treatment now, go under for three months, and have to fight back to the top? Maybe when his play degenerates enough, he will go complete treatment.

I got teary-eyed when MVP bought his family a house. This is an amazing moment. MVP is quite possibly one of the most humble pro-gamers that I have yet read about.

This guy pratices 8 hours+ in pain and you couldnt get perfectly healthy foreigners to pratice 6 hours a day. MVP is an inspiration. Players like MVP really show the difference between Koreans and Foreigners.

i think the problem is for him there are only 2 options right now: Retire and get treatment or Keep struggling. He is really afraid of falling back and i can understand looking at new terrans like byun/taeja and incoming kespa players like roro and rain. But well IMO theres no point in trying to compete if you cant give 100%. He will fall back sooner or later with his injury. Hes just delaying it. Please take a few months of break and recover

Poor MVP. He really needs to take a break.

I can't believe fans would claim he was lying about his health. Pretty disgusting.
