It's 200 Infected out of how many million korean citizens? It's an in insanely small number of infected in the first place. There is really no need to be worried about snute.

That's the kind of logic that gets you killed.
A 2 in 1,000,000 chance is significant, though dealth is likely lower, as usually infants and elderly are more at risk of death.
Anyway, I dunno how bad this MERS stuff really is around there, so I hope the thread wasn't completely derailed with these theories.

Im sure it was a jest, but still ya gotta imagine it from their point of view. This is all thats on the news, all you hear about is the number of infected, the number dead, ya see all the people in bio suits, and then they talk about how they dont even know exactly how its passed from human to human. Along with memories of SARS, I can see how they would be timid. But yes, like you said, the odds are incredibly slim when you compare the population vs number infected, and like the other person mentioned, the people that are dying from it are elderly or have an existing health condition already impairing them.
I really hope Snute can make it passed innovation. He couldnt have drawn like shine or alive or hell even San?! Arrrgh, there overall history is 11-2 innovation, doesnt bode well, but I'm trying to have some faith

As I said to the guy on page one, from someone living in China currently there are no travel restrictions from the Chinese government on Chinese citizens going to South Korea. There is a travel warning because of MERS but people are still allowed to go if they want.

he was matched up vs Rain right?
if he gets seeded into the next one, hmmm they might give him Rain again for the rematch

Proleague rosters are locked at this point. This was discussed in the Invasion/SBENU partnership thread. Unless Kespa decided to change the rules no new players will be in proleague

Uh? Independently of SBENU which is a special case, CJ and KT added players between R1 and R2, SKT and MVP and KT and even Prime added some between R2 and R3, why couldn't other teams add new players between R3 and R4?

A partnership would be nice. It will probably be with the weaker teams (Prime, MVP, or even Khan?), which is pretty nice because that way they could get playtime. On second thought it is very possible that it'd be Prime considering they already have a partnership with a Chinese team.

Don't think they can play in PL in round 4, the roster is locked after round 3.

Most of the infection has been spread in hospitals where the staff have had to get close to the patient, the current thinking is that it's very hard to contract.

Confusing move... So does Rain have a walkover to S2SL ? I'd LOVE to have a replacement, especially a foreigner who has a realistic shot at making it to Blizzcon, but I doubt there is time for the organizers and for the players to do such a thing...
Lilbow getting the invite would be so hype though, especially since his 2-0 vs Rain in HSC

A KeSPA guy wrote in the thread that rosters are permanently locked after the start of Round 3. I don't remember his name but he has the KeSPA icon in the forum. Check the thread about SBENU and Invasion partnership

Epidemiologist here. Even though I am in an extremely low risk area (about as close to none as possible), I still keep an eye on this for any reports that come across my desk.
Yes the population of millions is the number of Koreans, but I don't actually care about the number of Koreans, I care about the exposed number of people given the outbreak nature here. A 15% death rate is high enough for me to be on the look out on the other side of planet albeit a very casual one at that.

No, that was SARS. MERS stands for "Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome." Regardless, I was in China during the whole swine flu thhing back in 2010. I told people I had already been in China for a year, not that I had just gotten off the plane, but they were still paranoid as hella bout me having it.

Decision doesn't surprise me at all. I haven't looked it up but if the statistics quoted above is correct, 24/200 deaths is like 12%. That's really high.Looking up wiki, it seems breast cancer has ~11% mortality (in 5 years), Skin cancer ~9%, prostate 1%. And I'm sure you have all heard more noise about those cancers than MERS.

I would just mention that the average pro gamer probably doesn't go out much anyway. Though it would be shitty to fly to Korea and not see the sights.
