No more threads about twitter posts where players say they are going to retire. Only when they have retired.

Also, Taeja a bit of a drama queen.

He really is, it's what's stopped me from being a taeja fan since IPTL. It would still suck if he did, he's been one of the best to touch the game

Everyone does realize that a tweet about quitting isn't remotely on the same level as forfeiting a match mid-series, mid-tournament?

No, none of us are rational.

Also everyone is acting like this is an announcement of retirement. Including me. Which it isn't.


Thank you, now I understand.

Well, as your signature says...

You should watch Maru, he's young and a good terran. I mentioned that he's young because it seems that a lot of Terrans who aren't Avilo get wrist problems because their APM is too high due to DavidKim(sarcasmcuzicantsaykappa). But yeah, wrist injuries are a problem so Maru probably won't get any for a while : )

Innovation is still around. If you're more into the hipster picks then MajOr is pretty fuckin' good. MKP just unretired. TY - who I still think of as Baby - is decent. Fantasy's games are always good for a laugh. qxc puts on good shows in tournaments.

She said in her fanclub thread that she is shifting to Korea for a long period of time.

He started really young though right? I mean 2+ years of how many hours a day on the computer? That can really eff up your wrists pretty badly.
There are things known, and things unknown, and in-between are the doors.

Well, it doesn't work like this. You can't compare these features. Go like this: "I would trade cannons + nexus cannon for bunkers and turrets." Because for my M.U.L.E you got to give me half of your chrono boosts plus self constructing buildings.

I wonder, was wrist-problems a issue before SC2 as well? I'm curious, because it seems much more talked about now after SC2.

There's also the question of what else he does. I developed pretty painful wrist issues three or four years ago from computer use with bad ergonomics and posture. I started making an effort to work out more, stretch more and be generally active - pushups during queue times in Dota, hangboard exercises while searching in SC2 - and they cleared up within a few weeks.

Yes, it was. For example, Flash had surgery three years ago.
