UPDATE:

Flash has taken off the cast on his arm. He says that although his arm still feels stiff right now, he is starting to control weight and recovery. He hopes that next time fans meet him he will be in a fully recovered shape.

Flash also says, "At the beginning, my arm was stiff and I were not able to hold my mouse. It even hurts me a little, but I am doing my hardest to recover and maintianing a good physical and psychological shape."

Flash's recovery massage therapist says that It will still take one to two weeks or even a month for Flash to recover depending on Flash's condition.

Remind me, what stuff will he be missing if he's only back in a month?

gogo flash! Recover quick!

Proleague starts in november and OSL has been pushed back as well, so he won't miss them. All he'll be missing is practice. Expect him to be a little rusty, but I expect him to get his feel back pretty quickly.

Maybe Flash is kind of like a Saiyajin. Now that he has been severely injured, his Starcraft skills will suddenly improve as much as 2 years of training would have. Hope he'll recover well and wear his KT uniform soon enough instead of this... too pink polo.

It was announced today that Flash tried out his recovered wrist out against Best in a bo7, all played on heartbreak ridge. Easily overcoming his opponent with a pure vulture style, Flash was quoted as saying

With my new wrist it was too easy to plant spider mines and cause relentless blue explosions. I feel that sc1 will be too easy for me unless I do something to lessen my condition. Therefore, I will switching to league of legends for two years in order to reduce my fighting strength. He added, "I did not ask for this."

Some pictures from Flash's rehabilitation at Phoenix Park JDI Centre yesterday. Many professional sportsmen go there for rehabilitation or training.

Wow, that scar is huge.

I'm just glad that he's getting the best possible care right now. There was a long time when it seemed like nothing was being done for him except for a few traditional remedies. Hopefully he can bounce back fully from this injury.

That scar is seriously scary. Here's to hoping Flash goes back to 100% in time for PL!

The size and position of the scar surprised me too. I don't know what his mouse setting is like but it always struck me how Flash moved his arm around a lot more than other pros while playing.

The scar surprised me a little but not the position really. We knew that he had more serious injury that most of the CTS patients have. Not just his wrist but the whole hand, muscles pressing nerves and what not.

Thanks so much for the photos... but doesn't anyone else find it hilarious that he's wearing a "Love & Peace" shirt?

It's like him saying... enjoy your love & peace while I'm being repaired. Because this is the last time you'll ever have the chance.

^ haha, never thought of it that way.

The pictures are nice though, they show Flash's personality... friendly & sociable.

Edit:
I have noticed that he's put on some weight in the past year or so.

You mean he put on more awesomeness, dont you? :-)

I really hope he can fully recover, it seems to be going well so that makes me happy. The gaming-world cant lose a talent like him.

Thanks for the pictures.

Well his diet does consist exclusively of meat and Pocari Sweat. The food of champions.

Damn that scar really looks massive. But I'm glad his recovery seems to go well. To bad he can't attend Blizzcon, most likely because of that. Would be nice seeing him together with others. But it's understandable, fully recovering is his number one priority right now.
