Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been rather 'mobile' the last months time.

I have seeded the idea of maybe doing a fanclub interview with TaeJa with TL-staff; it seemed to be well recepted but the timing might not be the best; Tree.hugger promised to look into it.

OP changelog:

Removed introduction - Will replace this with a status on TaeJa's health once one is obtained through TLPro staff (PM sent to staff)
Upcoming events updated.
Added new fanart by Kenny_Oro and Ilithyium.
Added pictures from Dreamhack, IPL5 and NASL S 4 Finals.
Added 29 new fanclub signups.

Welcome to the following new TaeJa-fans!! Woo

So I read somewhere that according to a fomos source, Taeja's suffering from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, which is why he hasn't been able to play in SPL recently. Apparently the treatment didn't go as well as they'd hope, and the expected time for Taeja's full recovery would be at least a month, and after that he would still require a period of rest, and he'd be unable to hold a mouse and practise in the meantime, or the injury will get worse.

The EGTL coach said that for the protection of the player, Taeja will be spending the time to recover, and that they'll pay close attention to his condition, and they'll only consider sending Taeja to play when he's fully recovered, because to the team, the players' health is more important than the team's results.

If that's true he'll be resting for quite a period of time man

... so does that mean that Taeja will not be able to play in his Code S Group
at the end of january?

This is also really really bad news für EG-TL in SPL since Taeja was/is one
of their strongest players.

I saw bumblebee post stating that Taeja might be playing this weekend.

Not sure about his wrist condition right now, but really hope that he can recover as soon as possible. Wanna see him badly in code S.

I hope that TL just decide to sideline Taeja until Hots. It took TLO roughly a year to get CTS under control, because he didn`t treat it properly once the symptoms aroused. I don`t want Taeja to face the same fate. So pls give him 2-3 months of rest.

That's the thing, there's too much speculation going around.

A poorly translated chineese article with an alleged yet unconfirmed Fomos source that says TaeJa cannot grasp a mouse for the next 2 months is not something we should be basing anything on. Just as we shouldn't interpret on the electro acupuncture picture.

Hopefully, TLPro will get back to us and provide a status on TaeJa

Is his condition preventing him from practicing completely, if so for how long has he been advised to cease playing? (Chinese article concerning TaeJa's health in mind)

What a mood downer.

And this all came out of the blue? Or why was this not announced in advance? Then I wouldn't have picked him as my non-tradable Fantasy Proleague captain. T_T

After the Sea debacle in round 1, maybe I shouldn't pick any Liquid players anymore...

I take this as a sign of waning wrist problems.

I sure hope so! I really don't want him to drop out of GSL and not play in pro league due to injuries, so I hope all goes well :D

I have a feeling TaeJa might make HerO take this down but ... schoolboy TaeJa style!

hahahaha! This looks like maybe his award for getting Top Terran from GSL? But he got so dressed up!
