# Update 26/06/2011 : [Kindly translated by Spica]


KT Rolster's Flash is currently receiving intensive care for his right arm.

[image loading]

When Flash received an MRI scan on the 24th, the results confirmed that there were abnormal symptoms in his right forearm, wrist, and shoulder. The hospital that he went to diagnosed that Flash's right shoulder's ligaments were damaged, and that his forearm and wrist's muscles had bunched up together.

After Flash's diagnosis results came out, KT Rolster decided to receive intensive care from JDI sports rehabilitation specialized hospital. JDI is a famous professional health care corporation that specializes in treating injuries sustained by sports players in the knee, shoulder, and back areas.

Although Flash is in a situation where long term treatment is necessary for him, because he must participate in the Proleague regular season and post season along with the individual leagues immediately, he will be receiving intensive care for a short period of time. KT has chosen what the medical industry calls a proactive treatment therapy method, and Flash was seen on the 25th at the game stadium with taping on his right arm.

KT's manager Lee Ji Hoon stated, "If we exclude Flash's schedule during the Proleague regular season, he has time reserved for concentrating on treatment," and, "We'll see how the treatment goes and see whether or not if we'll send him out in Proleague."

Source: http://esports.dailygame.co.kr/news/read.php?id=46166

So it looks like we'll seeing a lot less of Flash in Proleague... Which is a good thing for the sake of his health.




Hi,

News I came across and realised it's not on TL yet,
Flash has been losing consistently past few games and many of you have been wondering why.

According to the news below Flash is suffering severe wrist injury. This is also mentioned in the beginning of the B.net :



"We have to thank Flash coming here to participate in this show despite his injury, so please bear in mind that we will only be able to play few selected games today."


[image loading]
You can see Flash looking in pain and grabbing this wrist after the game against Dream.t)hyun despite in-taking pain-killers.

He went to hospital for magnetic resonance imaging yesterday and will be going to rehab centre from now. Because of this he probably won't play on this upcoming match vs FOX. This is not the first time wrist injury happening to progammers, iloveoov broke his wrist during shower and GGPlay suffered severe carpal tunnel syndrome. Both player soon retired.


Korean news link :
Any help on translations would be appreciated

Those proficient in the area claim that carpal tunnel is not an actual repetitive stress injury, i.e you have a predisposition (which hasn't shown itself yet) for it, or you don't. It's not something you "get" per se. Nevertheless Flash definitely has a RSI of some kind.

What he has has nothing to do with nerves but rather the swelling and stress of the tendons in his wrist in forearms. Really hope he gets well soon! ♥
Live it up.

Where does it actually say "carpal tunnel" in the Fomos articles? His wrist is in a lot of pain and he's going for an MRI.

According to the link below,
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001469/
"Carpal tunnel syndrome is common in people who perform repetitive motions of the hand and wrist. Typing on a computer keyboard is probably the most common cause of carpal tunnel."

By the way does anyone know how to embed Youtube video here?

They should not have been asking him to play PL at all. The more he plays on that bad wrist the more damage there will be.
Even though this Proleague bullshit has been completely bogus, I really, really, really do not see how Khan can lose this. I swear I will kill myself if they do. - nesix before KHAN lost to eNature

Flash says right here that he does not have nerve damage, so how can it be carpal tunnel?

Whatever's wrong with flash's wrist I hope it's fixable somehow by some amazing surgeons/medicine. Certainly don't want to see the ultimate weapon go like this. :/
