translating now.
Short summary: It's unclear at the moment whose decision this was (toodming or his manager's) but his spot was forfeited, citing the MERS outbreak. The team asked if it would be acceptable to reseed him into the next season of SSL after the situation with MERS in Korea stabilizes and is properly quarantined.
More translation to come soon. This is a live report thread.
Personal assessment: previously in an interview with toodming I can tell you all that he believes that if his physical condition s not healthy, then his performance can be a bit weak.

I live in China and I can tell you that there are no travel restrictions between China and Korea at the moment but some people are highly concerned about it despite what places like the WHO are saying. Most likely situation is that either he, his parents or his team were worried about it and he or they decided not to go.

Snute the brave can survive this EZ 
Any idea if TooDming will be replaced in challenger or Rain gets a free bye? It's not yet mentionned in liquipedia.

Someone mentioned in a previous thread (not sure which) that this would happen. Apparently they had watched Macsed's stream and he was saying that none of the Chinese organizations are willing to go to Korea during the outbreak, ZoO among them.

Its a different virus than SARS which is what you are thinking about.

If that was the case then it would be South Korean respiratory syndrome now that it is in Korea. MERS is not SARS if that's what you are thinking

That's a shame. It's always nice to see Chinese players perform in Korea. There's a sad lack of contact in the premier leagues between the two country's teams.

Well the same can be said for most of the Chinese teams...
The forfeit is indeed a weird decision though.

Well, there are hypochondriacs. Their behaviour doesn't make a lot of sense, but that won't stop them.

Based on the reactions from people I have seen here I think it is more about how serious SARS was in China for a long time that has people so paranoid about MERS. I remember what is was like coming into China during not even the worst SARS time and they were very srtict and careful so I think over-reaction to MERS stems from what happened during that time.
|
So what'll happen to his seed? Given to someone else? A Korean? A foreigner? Wouldn't it be cool to see how one of the WCS Koreans (ideally Hydra) would fare in SSL?
|
So, does Rain get a free seed for the tournament? Or is he supposed to prepare for an opponent 2-3 days before he plays in Challenger (which is fking absurd)?

Yea thats what I was thinking as well. SARS was a much bigger epidemic than MERS currently is, but like anything you learn from past experiences. SARS infected more than 8000 people spreading to 25 countries in 7 months, while MERS so far has spread to a few countries and currently in Korea has infected less than 200 with 24 fatalities as of June 14th. While thats not a huge number of infected, the 15% death rate or so isn't a percentage anyone would want to chance and considering how little they know about the virus who knows what could happen. They still dont even know where MERS originated from. If I recall SARS originated from bats and using civet cats as an intermediary passed the virus to humans. Apparently Civet cats are a delicacy in China. I've never eaten a Civet cat, but I've had Kopi Luwak, which essentially is very expensive coffee that has taken a trip through the digestive system of a civet cat. Whoever came up with the idea must've been one desperate coffee drinker. Just google it if your interested lol.
Guess I got a bit sidetracked. Anyway, all that being said I still think he should've gone lol.. Snute Fighting!!
