That's right, everyone's favorite Terran genius has been diagnosed with that disease many of us fondly remember from childhood. It's unsure how this will affect his GSL bid, as chickenpox can be fairly contagious if you aren't already immune to it. It also tends to be worse the later you get it in life (sorry Dario
). It's all up to GOM and the doctors now on whether or not he continues to play.The good news is that Korean pros have gotten chickenpox before and have still been allowed to play while wearing a stylish mask. Bisu himself played a match a few years ago while fighting off the need to itch those annoying spots. This is definitely a good precedent in TLO's case.
Needless to say, the entire TL community is very sad to hear this. As one of the few foreigners left in the tournament, anything that could potentially end his run at the top prize short of a loss to another player is disappointing. We all wish him the very best and hope he gets well soon! TLO fighting!
I was hoping to use this thread as a sort of giant "Get Well Soon" card for TLO.

Edit: Here's the confirmation from Nazgul. It sounds like it certainly is not as bad as it could be, which is definitely good news.

We've been through a lot these weeks, when I'm home I may write it all up in a post. We are finally settling in a bit in the new house and Dario gets this aggressive looking rash. At first we thought some sort of allergy and took him to the doctor who didn't really say much and gave him some random medicine. Next day it got a lot worse so we went to the hospital. They suspected chickenpox but the right doctor wasn't available and made us come back the day after. That is today we came home from the hospital a few hours ago and Dario was diagnosed with chickenpox.
In a way it is actually a big relief that we know what it is now, as it looks very worrying and at least chickenpox is a known infection. Dario is feeling pretty good given the circumstances. Adult chickenpox goes hand in hand with a lot of other symptoms usually, from which Dario seems to be spared for the most part. Slight headache and just being tired of the whole process and stress, but overall he is in good enough state to practice a bit and hopefully perform good enough to make it through another round in the GSL.

Positive note is yesterday night he decided to go on with playing Dimaga in the final of a tournament and managed to pull out the win.
