Wouldn't it be funny if they all recovered and turned up to GSL next year with rulers to measure their keyboard setups

We don't know, usually we know about the injury only if the player goes to a doctor publically or shares the thing. And the latter isn't much common. In other words we know once it gets really bad.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Yeah. Denver has some sort of elbow injury ; yet I bet not many people on TL know, especially if they aren't french.

I knew he looked horrible the other night vs Rogue but I didn't want to think it was because he was hurt. This fucking sucks. Get well Maru! Hopefully we see you at Katowice.

Honestly, it was silly to play SC2 with dinosaur arms from the get-go.
SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...

Luckily Maru is already locked in for the main stage, so he could take it easy for a while just to recover.

I'm pretty sure this why he is losing to players like TY, Rogue and Serral.

After winning GSL S3, TY was even able to take a whole November to train himself to pick up his SC1 skills and finally got runner-up in BJ Destruction Team Match Season 2.

Good for Maru to be on treatment. Hope he gets better soon.

The one they need to strap in a chair and give medical treatment and not let touch a computer is Byun. His injuries are no joke and if he keeps doing it he will have big lasting damage that will affect much more than his starcraft career.

Especially when he is playing 3 online events a day like it's nothing.

Dark also have problems with his wrist starting this year, then he fall down to the form he is now, and I personally think that he is using less banelings because of this. When he engage with banelings he also do the splitings that terrans do.

Almost forgot how Parting also have problem with his back/shoulder? I don't quite remember

parting has a herniated disc in his neck. I believe parting said maru has the same injury but they just say "back" because its easier to say.

Herniated discs in your neck are awful because they affect your wrists like how low back affects your legs.

I have a questionable theory which proposes that, because top Terran players have to focus in fights where tiny boxing selection commands are key to win (marine marauder splitting, individual reaper micro if you are Byun, etc), their wrist/hand and body movements tend to be more abrupt and tense than if we compare the kind of micro requirements players of other races have to make; for example, spellcasting is micro intensive but it does not require the player to manually box and split units.

If these players are training for several hours a day hundreds of days a year, these tiny differences in mouse movement styles pile up and in the long run create problems for Terran players like Taeja, Maru, Byun, etc...

Btw, I am not advocating for Terran superiority in any form over the other races. I am just pointing out that control requirements are different and they may explain why players of a certain race are better known to have hand, wrist or joint problems.

Sc2 Players of all races have had injurie related Problems, it s not just/mostly Terran.

Realy good to see Team NV taking care for their Players here.
Lets hope for Maru to recover as soon as possible


As far as I can recall, though I may be wrong, Terran players tend to have more cases.

Mvp, Taeja, Maru, Flash, Byun, Boxer, randomrace TLO had it, I think Thorzain as well. Zergs and Protoss may of course have injuries too but it is quite clear at least from the cases we know that Terran players are more likely to develop these issues.

maru should take a few months off to be honest to prolong his career. i would do that if i was him, id come back bigger, stronger and faster if i was him.

Sad reality of physical competition that pushes bodies to the limit is that those who do push themselves to be the very best are likely to end up with injuries performing their craft. At least he didn't find passion/success in combat sports.

I've always felt that Terran is powerful but too demanding. I would advocate for Terran to be at the same power level, or even lower (gasp!), but more accessible - without having insane skills or insane sacrifice of health.

I call BS

Have you how Zerg players like Serral, Rogue, Reynor constantly split of single lings for Banelings / Widowmine shots?
Or how Parting/ Trap/ Stats do blink Stalker micro?
Go Serral! GG EZ for Ence. Flashbang dance FTW
