Today, NVT's Bunny(T) qualified to DH 2020 Last chances but it has been a hard day for us to endure announce this statement. Team NV officially determined to announce that Cho Seong Ju (Maru,T) was injured in the shoulder with serious pain and he will be in the injury treatment period. Team NV will prepare to support connecting the specialized hospital to treat him and reducing financial burdens. Cho Seong Ju had appealed about his pain before entering the team and his physical condition is not good enough to continue the ordinary life. We, Team NV will not spare any support until Maru is in his best condition. Now, Team NV could not certain that Maru continue the remained matches of TSL6 but he would definitely participate in "Theatre of Dreams". at 18,Dec,2020. Thank you for reading this statement and we Team NV will do our best for Maru to recovery his condition as soon as fast.
Hope he takes it seriously. Too many of these sc2 players getting injured because it's such a demanding game but I feel that the physical science side of things hasn't caught up with it yet, so we have guys with a lot of drive mistreating their bodies and then not fully recovering.

Yeah, so many top terrans such as Maru and ByuN getting injured, either wrists or shoulders. I know PartinG has back issues too.
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.
This is so sad to read; wonder if his shoulder injury can ever be completely healed. Wishing him a speedy recovery. Hope a physical therapist can alleviate the pain and get him back on the right track.
I was wondering on how he was doing given his recent performances after ASUS ROG Online 2020.
Time and time again we're seeing this kind of trend.. with Mvp, Taeja, now ByuN and Maru.
I hope he will recover and get well soon. Team NV being supportive is nice to ear.
I don't understand why he will play those "Theatre of Dreams" games of all games left for him to play, but I hope he will not overplay his hand (or shoulder...)

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
Sad to hear but expected given his recent results, and the pain displayed during KoB and other tournaments with facecam... The Terran greats catch no break
Watching the Bunny vs Maru series was painful, didn't seem like the usual Maru. We have known about this issue for a long time but it doesn't make it less sad. Both Maru and ByuN har having serious problems and I hope somehow they can improve but it seems unlikely if they dont stop playing.

Eh, I agree players of all races can get injured, but there is a reason most of them are terran, there is no reason to look away. Ofc this is something that cant be fixed anymore, hope everyone recovers.

Since it’s utterly boring to play and watch the game would probably be dead for real already

So making mech viable would have, by killing the game, avoided a lot of Starcraft related injuries.

poor Maru
