EPTAs much as I love to watch Mvp play I would love to see him take some time off before Hots and work on getting closer to 100%. I guess i'll keep cheering for victories but if he loses it means he has more time to rest :/

There is very little time to rest in between the GSL seasons. Also, global tournaments are constantly going on. In addition, Kespa players have joined in the scene recently, and that makes it all the harder. If I rest for three months and then come back, I might as well have retired. Unfortunately this is so true :< Some KeSPA players have already caught up and given a few months they'll definitely all be that more impressive. I think he should go get the treatment he needs though. He's had an amazing career in StarCraft II and I don't think he'll be able to take another GSL or something without being able to practice optimally so he might as well get his health in check before things decline. And who knows, maybe he'll even make a huge comeback after. | ||

He won GSL and IEM this year while heavily injured. | ||

He is probably thinking to himself, that he has to choose a quiet (quiet Starcraft-wise) time to give him time to have an operation, and recover, but I would hazard that the best time is now. He should've chosen to have the operation a few months back, but I can understand him reluctance to leave during such an influx of new sc2 players (KeSPA). I don't think that he will find a better time than this, due to the fact that Wings Of Liberty is winding down, and Heart of the Swarm will reset the playing field Soon™. I also don't think that coming back is as difficult as most people think, mostly due to the speed the KeSPA player learned the game. So, it should be possible for him to regain his former level of skill, after recovering. As I do not know the specifics of his medical condition, I cannot say for certain that the decision to operate now would be the best. However, MVP really should not leave something like this untreated, for his sake, and ours. Also, I don't believe that he can stay on top of the Starcraft 2 scene with decision making and build orders alone, and to get better he really needs this operation. Regardless, <3 MVP, hope he gets better soon. | ||

I think the best time for him to take a break will be after this season of GSL. He will have a couple months to recover in time for Hots, then maybe he won't miss out as much. It's pretty sad in the current state of e-sports, there is no "Off-Season" for a tournament as prestigious as the GSL | ||

I don't know why he thinks he can't come back if he chose to rest for a few month. | ||

Yeah, I agree. Someone tell that to MVP. Plus, it's not like he can't catch up again easily. It's not like you have to "keep up". Once you stop playing for (even) 5 months, you just get up to date on builds and everything and copy what everyone else is doing. Slowly learn about the new stuff. Basically, like how KeSPA players caught up easily. SC2 isn't really a game where if you start late, you can't "catch up". You just copy everyone's build, watch VODs, figure out what the new strategy and builds everyone are using and why, then you do it. | ||

The best way to treat this problem is by a heavy treatment program from a chiropractor, coupled with lots of special exercises, a lot of icing and rest. Having been disabled by this condition for 2 years now, and finally recovering, I truly hope that he takes the time between now and HotS coming out to start his treatment. He is a true champion and his reasons for fighting are to be admired. Please take care of your body MVP, before it will become too severe and you spend the rest of your life crippled, like my mother who has an advanced stage of this. | ||
