Sheth, no matter what you're still my favorite SC2 player of all time.

Hope everything works out well for you, and will always be rooting for you. GL mannerbear!

Yeah I hate threads like this, they remind me to miss Sheth.

He's such a friendly and brilliant player, I hope he comes back.

He's on Team Liquid. About a secure job as possible. You can perform years without results too without any repurrepercussions. I would too take advantage of the system he earned himself into.

Sheth is it possible that the way you keep your keyboard on your lap might cause some of your wrist issues? Maybe altering your posture in a way that causes discomfort? Also even if you do t go to the gym and get super fit would a few simple forearm, wrist, and hand excercises help? I would imagine strengthening your forearms would be crazy beneficial for any progamer.

He's not taking advantage of the situation. in his blog saying he was taking a break, i think he said Liquid Nazgul offered to give him a salary but Sheth kept saying he didn't have to. And I may not be the biggest Team liquid fan, but even i can admit that slamming their players won't get you anywhere. TLO didn't have a lot of results, stepped up his game for hots, and is on fire now. Zenio has defeated amazing Zergs in proleague. Good to know that you would take advantage of another persons kindness, but thats NOT what sheth is doing.

Hi Sheth, have you considered doing exercises for your hands to increase strength? I´ve heard that for some that helps

Anyways, hope you get better and come back to rock the scene with a keyboard in your lap once again!

slow ramp man! You have to take what you did and literally quarter it and play like that, its hard cos you know you can play faster, condition will improve over time . . . but you gotta give it time. as for the weight, 20 mins in morning and night everyday day of walking/jogging/swimming which ever you want ull see good results in 30 days . . BUT YOU MUST NOT STOP!!! k
keeping moving at all costs. Those are the costs!

Sheth, i think you have two options if you want to return to esports, either you become a caster or some other role that would keep you there. I'm sure you would find something

! But if u want to ever be a player again, you need to loose weight and strenghten your wrists and arms, get yourself a personal trainer that will know what kind of exercise you should do, to not end up more injured as you did when you tried by yourself. You do not have the proper knowledge on how to do it nor does the doctors, but believe me, getting stronger might be the one thing, that will help you doing what you love again. What you need is a lot of will and belief in yourself! And from the eating part, only thing you need to stop is sweets, sweety drinks, junk food and really fatty food. If you exercise, just not eating such foods along with proper exercise (again i'm positive you need a personal trainer for this to be successful) and you can get lean, strong and back to progaming! Also you have to realize, if you succeed, what you don't want is to go back to your old habits once you do. If you succeed, it has to become somewhat of a lifestyle change for you

! I really hope you take some advice, no pills, no doctors will help you more than just eating somewhat right and doing guided exercise that will not injure you, but slowly improve. Once you will start seeing results, you will not want to go back, trust me

I remember watching this guys stream while he competed in a playhem tournament. It was fascinating to watch his progress from his POV and his thoughts going through the tournament and he had a really friendly attitude with his viewers. Probably one of the most interesting and informative user streams I have seen.

Hope I will get the opportunity to watch him compete again some day.

GL Sheth!

I hope you feel that we still love you Sheth!

I hope you read this. Because it sound familiar in a way. I can play with a controller but starcraft hurts me a lot. How are things like doing the dishes or preparing food for you?

I've have a sirious arm injury myself. I was studying to become a professional drummer when I got a lot of pain in my arms. It first got missdiagnosed as an overburdening by a cesar therapist. She helped me a lot (together with a fysio therapist) on hoe to relax and play drums correctly. But I started playing to soon twice and got a lot of pain again twice. And not just in my arm but from my neck to wrists in both arms. Eventhough the injury was just in my right arm.

Every one I know gave me differennt advice on what to do and who to see. It made me do none of these because the all told me. "No one could help but this guy fixed everything in a flash."

Last year I went to a hospital to see a orthopedic surgeon (because my ex didn't stop nagging, she practically saved me). He did a lot of research (also send me to a neuro surgeon). After everything was inconclusive he send me to the Hague, to a special poli clinic which specialises in dancers and musicians. He was also a orthopedic surgeon and he told me he agreed with the other surgeon. Radial tunnel syndrome (very similar to carpal tunnel syndrome) and a tennis arm. And for the first time I really feel like it matches how I feel and why some things hurt and others don't.

And after three years of injury and crushes dreams I'm starting in the third year of the Rock acadamy in september. And I'm being very careful.

Tldr: The reason I am telling you this (it became a lot longer than I intended) is because computer gaming and music injuries have in common that it has to do with repeating small movements, posture and technique. Maybe you can find someone who specialises in musicians and even better someone who's also docter/surgeon.

Ps. Sorry it became so long. And I'm on my phone so if you see some spelling or grammar mistakes please pm me. (Or if someone has questions.)
